"So come here

And never leave this place

Perfection of your face

Slows me down, slows me down

So fall down

I need you to trust me

Go easy, don't rush me

Help me out, why don't you help me out?"

Never gonna leave this bed- Maroon 5

Staring at my pale yellow walls for the past hour and a half, the silence was almost too much for me. But also at the same time the silence was welcomed, it gave me time to think about everything in my life, the past, the present, and even sometimes the future. The future was the worst to think about though because it always ended with the same two choices, me as a vampire or me dying alone without my Salvatore brothers by my side due to my old age. Sighing I started to think about Stefan his sweet personality and his old fashion ways. Stefan was clearly the perfect choice, of course he had his struggles in the past but he had worked so hard to move past it all. Everyone and even myself included knew that he was the perfect choice for me, my knight in shining armor. His love was pure and everything I needed, at least that's what I told myself over and over. Squeezing my eyes shut I repeated Stefan's name over and over again in my mind, he was my choice and I was going to tell him today. That was the plan, the perfect plan. Stefan would protect me, love and care for me. And maybe when the time was right he'd either leave me or turn me into a vampire. Opening my eyes I sighed again becoming a vampire was never my first choice, it wasn't even in my top five, but if I wanted to be with Stefan I'd have to make that choice at some point. I closed my eyes and leaned into my pillow, all these thoughts of Stefan were bringing up thoughts of an even harder subject to talk about. Damon Salvatore. The elder Salvatore brother with his ice blue eyes always seemed to be in the back of her mind nowadays. The steamy make out session they had shared a few weeks back still perfectly clear in her head, she sighed. Taking a deep breath she slowly whispered his name into the silent room, each syllable of his name sounding so perfect on her lips. She smiled to herself as she jumped at the sound of knock on her window sill. Startled she looked over to see the man with the raven hair and blue eyes who always captured her thoughts smirking over at her.

"You called?" He smirked climbing into her room through the window and taking a seat on the edge of her bed. He was dressed in usual of dark washed jeans and just a black V-neck shirt that fit him perfectly, no leather jacket for him today.

"I just was um thinking and yeah." Elena spoke trying to find a good reason she would be whispering Damon's name alone in her room. She looked up to meet his eyes that were watching her closely, she slowly bit her lip and started to relive the night in the motel. Elena remembered how his hair felt between her fingers and how his lips kissed slowly down her neck making her feel alive like she'd never felt with Matt or Stefan. Oh jeez she thought I totally forget about Stefan. Remember him Elena? The vampire you're meant to be choosing not sitting around dreaming about his brother? She thought to herself.

Damon's POV

Damon watched her closely; he could tell she was really overthinking something in her head. Something important he figured. Staying silent he let her continue this war in her head, as he watched her. Why had she said my name? He thought to himself. I was just about to knock when I heard her whispering my name in that perfectly silky voice of hers. He loved the way she said his name, almost like no one else deserved to say it other than her. No one could ever say his name as good as her. He shook his head and decided it was time to remind Elena that he was here sitting on her bed.

He coughed to bring her back from her thoughts, and she looked back up at him and gave him a small smile. Oh how badly he just wanted to push her back on the bed and take control of her, but now was the not time. He had to wait till she really was his; he had to wait till she belonged to him. But the chances of that ever happening were slim to none.

"What are you doing here Damon?" She asked breaking his train of thoughts up and looking into his eyes.

He smiled crookedly and ran a hand through his dark hair "Well other than wanting to see your terrible bed head, I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out today? You know maybe just do something the two of us? I wanted to get to you before anyone else had the chance to." And by anyone else, he meant Stefan he thought to himself. He knew Stefan was probably planning on asking Elena to hang out today and he wanted to have Elena all to himself today. He wanted to have the chance to win Elena over before she made her final decision.

She slowly nodded and stretched her arms, "I guess we could do that." She said slowly.

She said yes? I thought to myself. I knew it was a long shot getting her to hang out with just me, but she actually said yes. Trying to keep my face calm I spoke "Great, I'll be back at 9:30 sharp to pick you up. Endless you need some help getting ready and taking a shower?" I smirked at her and did the eye thing as Elena called.

She rolled her eyes at me and shoed me out the window. "See you at 9:30 Damon." She gave me a small smile before shutting her window. Smiling to myself I knew this might just be one of my chances to win Elena over.

Elenas POV

I can't believe I agreed to spend the day with Damon. I sighed going through my closet trying to find something to wear. I had already taken a shower and now just needed to find an outfit. I settled on a pair of light skinny jeans, a red flannel with a white tank top underneath and lastly my pair of brown knee high boots. I figured it would work for whatever Damon had planned for us today.

Hearing a buzz I walked over to my phone to see that Stefan was calling. Taking a deep breath I clicked the answer button and said

"Hey Stefan"

"Hey Elena" I could hear the smile in his voice. "I know that we only just went to the decade dance and all but I thought it was a really great start to starting over with each other again. And basically what I'm trying to get at right now is I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today. Nothing to serious, and I know it's early I just wanted to get to you before anyone else had the chance to." Gulping I tighten my grip on the phone before I spoke again.

"Well actually Stefan, Damon kind of already got to me. He came by my house earlier and asked if I wanted to hang out for the day, and I kind of said yes." I almost whispered the last part scared of his reaction.

I heard him sigh on the other end of the phone "Well I should've been quicker I guess. Maybe just another time then." I heard his fake a chuckle and then he said "I'll just call you later I guess, have a nice time with Damon today."

Before he had the chance to hang up the phone I spoke quickly "What about tomorrow? Or maybe even tonight if Damon and I don't hang out all day?" I asked him hoping he wouldn't think I was just trying to blow him off. I could hear the smile in his voice when he spoke again

"Yeah that would work just fine for me. Just give me a call whenever your free or tonight whatever works." He said before he hung up the phone.

Sighing I fell back on my bed and looked over at the clock that read 9:20. What was I doing I thought to myself. I thought I had already made my choice, I thought I had picked Stefan.

Stefan's POV

I tossed the phone on my bed and stalked out of my room. I couldn't believe I had this whole thing planned I was going to call her early enough so we could make plans, and she should've been mine all day. I growled as I used my vampire speed to find my brother inside of our house.

It didn't take long to find him sitting at our bar sipping a golden colored drink.

"Well hello little brother, what can I help you with?" He asked smirking at me. I clinched my fists.

"You're hanging out with my Elena today?" I spat at him.

He raised his eyebrows at me before he spoke "Your Elena?" He asked "As far as I know you two are broken up. And I plan on taking full advantage of that." He said with a chuckle.

I growled at him and all I got in return is a smirk. "I better get going now anyway; I don't want to keep your Elena waiting for me." He drew out the last part of what he said. I didn't respond and just took my seat on the couch and laid my head back against the wall and watched as he left the room, and waited till I heard the door open and shut and his car had left the drive way.

Putting my elbows on my knees I closed my eyes and replayed the whole conversation between me and Elena on the phone. I had almost thought she was going to tell me that she would cancel her plans with Damon today, to hang out with me. I really had thought she was going to say that. At least I wish she had. Wish a long sigh I got off the couch and left the room. Somehow someway I was going to make sure I won Elena back over, for good. I thought slamming the front door.
