I sat on my bed rigid with shock at the words that had just come from Damon's mouth.
I love you, Elena, he had said and then he compelled me to forget. Or so he thought, but
I wasnt going to be unprotected with vampires hunting me down. I had just taken a bath
soaked in vervain; I wasnt stupid.
The curtains were still fluttering in the wake of Damon's quick exit. I wish he had given
me time to speak and tell him the words I had been so long denying. "I love you too, Damon." but
I wasnt given the chance. There was no way I was going to be sleeping tonight. I lay in the bed
wondering how my life would be if by some miracle I ended up with Damon. Finally, near 2:00a.m.
I fell into a restless, light sleep.
THE NEXT NIGHT
I left the tomb with Stefan at my side; I was nearly in tears. Katherine had made it pretty clear that
Caroline, Tyler, Bonnie, and all my love ones were going to meet certain death at the hands of Klaus
and the other originals. It wasnt something to make my night. I cried without shame into Stefan's arm.
Sobbed is a better term, it was as if my life was already over. Nothing could make this day worse for
me.
"Im going hunting really quick. You will be safe here. Just go inside." Stefan said giving me
a comforting hug. "I will be fine." I said walking through the doorway.
Maybe Damon was here and we could talk about last night. I walked to the living room where
Damon always stayed with his scotch. I stopped short in the doorway as the scene in front of me
registered. I felt rage,sadness,and betrayal pass through me. Damon was kissing...Rose?
I choked back a sob and they both looked up. Damon's eyes grew wide.
"I-I thought you loved me Damon...I guess I should've known you were lying to me." I
managed to say. I turned around and ran for the door.
"Elena, Stop!" he said grabbing my arm. I turned around with malice in my eyes.
" Let go of me now!"I yelled yanking my arm away from his grip. "Let me explain." he begged.
"What's there to explain? You obviously love Rose way more than me!" I glared.
"Thats the lie Elena and you know it!" he said calmly. "Well, that's a great way to show me you
love me." I snapped. "How do you even remember that?I compelled you."he said.
"I had just got out of a vervain soak,Damon, I didnt think I'd see the necklace again and I wasn't
going around unprotected." I said like it was so obvious.
"Elena.I am hurting because you don't love me back. It is killing me so I am going to flip the switch. No
more emotion."he said. I looked at him in shock.
"No, don't. Damon, I love you too. So much. Please don't flip the switch. I-I need you." I faltered.
He looked at me making sure I was telling the truth and then pulled me to him in the most
passionate kiss. Not one kiss from Stefan could ever compare to Damon's kiss right now.
I felt alive, home, loved. I pulled away from the kiss but held him in a close embrace.
"I love you, Elena Gilbert." he whispered into my ear. "And I love you, Damon Salvatore."
Okay. So who else was epically ticked off at the episode tonight like I was? I wanted to stake Rose so bad. lol
maybe it was just me but Damon doesnt belong with Rose. Damon is only Elena's. The whole episode just ugh.
So I had to write this to make me feel better about it. xD
Please Review or comment and tell me what you think. It will make me happy. :D
