I shot up from a cold metal table, taking in a shrill breath. Where was I? The last thing i remembered was breaking the news to Damon. Damon...where was he? I looked over and saw Stefan standing right beside me, his presence made me feel at home, like no one could hurt me. The door flew open and my head shot to the side to see who it was. I felt my heart pang when i saw his face. His icy, blue eyes were filled with not only love, but grief and self loathing.

"Damon?" I said in a weak voice as i tried to stand up. He then flashed beside me and grabbed my arm, forcing me to sit back down.

"Elena what do you remember?" he said in a concerned voice.

"What do you mean, what do I remember?"

"I mean what do you remember from tonight?" he asked staring deeply into my eyes.

"I remember being in the car with Matt, and then i called you to tell you..well..that i was going to choose Stefan."

Right when the words came out of my mouth and i saw that look of pain and heartbreak cross his face I stood up quickly and pulled him into a hug. The only thing that was important in that moment was that Damon was there. He pulled back and cradled my face, and he just looked at me for a while and then slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank god you're alive."

"What?" I stared at him with a confused look and stepped back from his embrace.

"Elena" he paused "you drove off of wickery bridge with Matt...and you had vampire blood in your system..and then you...died."

It took me many moments to take in what he was saying. If i died with vampire blood in my system..than that meant..that i was in transition.

"Elena say something." he stepped closer and grabbed both of my arms.

"I..I...should be dead...i shouldn't..I shouldn't be alive!" I screamed and ripped my arms from Damon's soft grip. "Where's Matt? I need to see Matt...is he okay? Please tell me he's okay..." I let out a little whimper and Damon grew even more concerned.

"Elena he's fine...you had Stefan pull him out instead of you...you died for him."

"How did i get the vampire blood in my system?" my voice cracked as i spoke the rest of my sentence, and i felt a slight ache in the back of my throat. Stefan stepped in between me and Damon and began to speak.

"Earlier when you came in, when you fainted, your injuries were worse than they led on. It was a Cerebral Hemorrhage bleeding on your brain...Meredith decided to put matters into her own hands and decided to heal you...with vampire blood." his face was brooding the whole time he spoke, his eyes never detached from hers, as he wanted to see what her reaction was.

"So now i'm in transition..." now that i had all the information that i needed i needed to get out of here and out of these wet clothes. "Can we leave?" i directed the question towards Damon hoping he would get the clue. He then flashed next to me and gave Stefan a glare, hoping Stefan would get that he would deal with him later. He picked me up like he had before, my head leaning on his shoulder, and i could smell his heavenly cologne.

"Do you want to go to the boarding house?" he asked hoping it would be a yes.

I closed my eyes and didn't answer, assuming he would know where i wanted to go. I drifted in and out of sleep until i finally lost all senses of the world and fell into a deep sleep.
