"Can I have this dance?" he softly asked Elena. She was so beautiful tonight, she was wearing a fun short sparkly blue dress. They were at one of Caroline's spring parties, it took place at Klaus' house tonight. Surprise, surprise.
"I don't think I should, Damon. I thought you changed, I thought you were better but you're still the same selfish Damon I have always known" she said looking seriously at him. Okay, now that hurt.
"Can you just, dance with me this last time?" he said looking at her.
"I don't think that smart to do" she said looking away. Mostly at the direction towards Stefan but Damon pretended not to notice.
"Okay, I guess I should just tell you now so you can get back to Stefan" he said look at Stefan now. He had to ask his brother for a moment with Elena.
"Don't be like that, don't act hurt" she said flatly. God, she was a pain in the ass sometimes.
"I'm not, why would I be? I'm the bad guy here, almost more than Klaus over there" he said looking towards him and Caroline. How did he even get the girl?
"He changed for Caroline. For love actually" she said as if she was bored of him already. I changed for you, he wanted to say.
"So, are you happy that Stefan is back to himself?" he asked her but he already knew the answer to that.
"More than anything" she said smiling a little. Okay, no that felt like a dagger into his heart. Even when he done everything he could for this girl, she still wanted Stefan.
"I'm leaving Elena, you can finally be a normal happy girl without a bad guy in your life" he said it so fast she almost missed it.
"I- why?" she asked looking at him now.
"Because it's best for everyone, I want to leave this place. I-" he doesn't even know why he wants to go. Oh wait, it's because this girl can never love him the way he loves her. "I'm tried of Mystic Falls."
"You're tired of Mystic Falls? That's why you're leaving" she said it more like a statement than a question.
"Oh, Elena don't act hurt" he paused. "You'll get over it" and he walked away from her, he wanted her to be hurt. It was her turn to feel what he felt, okay maybe that was a little selfish of him. He doesn't know why he thought he could actually get the girl this time.
Damon was out of the house before anyone knew he was missing. Like anyone would care, he said to himself. He got into he car and just drove, he had his things pack right before the party in case something like this would happen. He was good at those things, planning the worst out of something or someone. Damon never thought the worst out of Elena though, it was something he could never do.
It has been almost 9 months now, Elena counted in her head as she laid in Stefan's bed. She never even heard a word from him since he walked away from her that night. She's thinking of Damon while she was sleeping in her boyfriend's bed, she was so messed up. As if she didn't know that already. Elena should be happy, Stefan is back to the same guy she fell in love with. Caroline couldn't be more happy with Klaus. Bonnie, she was so happy she brought Jeremy back home. Then, there was Alaric, he was still dating Meredith but there was something that was missing about him. Maybe it's because you pushed his best friend out of town she said to herself.
She turned to her side staring out at the window, it was dark out, the moon was bright and full and beautiful. It reminded her so much of Damon's eyes, before it turned dark and was filled with anger. It was her that made that happen. Suddenly, she felt Stefan wipe his arms around her and she slowly smiled at how wonderful he was being.
"Hey, what are you doing still up?" he whispered as he leaned his head into her neck.
"Nothing really, I was just thinking of how beautiful the moon was tonight" she said as she turned around to face him.
"You shouldn't worry about him so much, I'm sure he's doing fine" Stefan said looking at her.
"How would you know?" she asked him. She was laying on his chest now, she would be listening to his heartbeat, if he had one.
"You'll see" that was all he said before she heard the front door open. She quickly sat up to hear that it had closed. She didn't even say anything else before leaving Stefan's room and ran down the stairs until she saw him standing there.
