I woke up and was confused. My head was pounding and I felt like crying. The last thing I remembered was seeing a picture of Katherine on Stefan's dresser and leaving. I started driving and there was a man in the middle of the road then I crashed. I opened my eyes and noticed the earth speeding by, was I in a car? Why the hell was I in a car? I lifted my head and noticed Damon. He was singing along to the radio. He turned to me and smirked.

"Damon?" I asked confused.

"Well good morning Elena." He said still smirking.

"Where are we?" I asked. My head was starting to spin. I felt like I was about the vomit. Damon eyed me suspiciously. "Are you alright?" He asked cautiously, leaning towards me with his hand extended.

"I'm fine." I said, unsure of why he was so concerned. "You didn't answer me, where are we?" I asked again starting to get annoyed.

"Were in Georgia, of course." He said with his smirk appearing again.

"Georgia? What the hell are we doing in Georgia? Why would you bring me to Georgia?" I asked getting worried. "We have to go back my car .. there was a accident .. I hit someone .. but they got back up? Was he a - ?" I asked not wanting to say it out loud.

"As far as I could tell, yes he was." Damon said his smirk disappearing completely.

"What about Jenna and Jeremy?" I said getting worried again, "And Caroline and Matt? We have to go back!" He turned to me and looked deep into my eyes then turned up the radio. He wasn't listening to me. "Damon," I said starting to feel something in my throat, "Damon," I said again clasping my hand over my mouth. He looked at me and took in my expression then started to pull over.

I reached for the door but Damon was already there opening it. He extended his arm and guided me out of the car. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I bent over and felt the foam liquid running from my mouth. It tasted disgusting. Damon pulled my hair back for me while I let it all out. When I was finished he let go of my hair and handed me a water bottle from the backseat. I chugged it down trying to get ride of the nasty taste it left in my mouth. Damon never took his eye off of me. He stared at me with worried eyes and finally took his eyes off me when I heard a familiar ringing. I searched for my phone in my pockets but couldn't find it. I eyed Damon while he pulled it out of his jacket.

"That's my phone." I said. He looked at me than turned away and answered it.

"Elena's phone." He said. "One second." He extended the phone towards me, "Your boyfriend wants to talk to you." I shook my head. I couldn't talk to him now, what would I say to him?

Damon put the phone back to his ear. "Yeah .. I don't think she really wants to talk to you right now." I heard Stefan yelling in the background. Damon glanced at me from the corner of his eye than started at the car. "Well you have a good day now, little brother." He smirked and pressed the end button. He handed me my phone and I put it in my jacket.

"How are you feeling?" He asked sincerely.

"Fine, I guess. But, Damon, we really do need to go back. My car is still in the middle of the road and not to mention school .. " I trailed off.

"Don't worry about your car, I pulled it into a ditch, it should be fine. Plus, do you really want to go back so soon? To deal with your witchy friend and over protective vampire boyfriend?" He asked. Truth was I really didn't want to. Plus the problems would still be there when I got back, right?

"Will I be safe with you?" I asked.

He looked deep into my eyes and grabbed my shoulders, "Yes." He finally said.

"Can I trust you?"

"Get in the car." He stalked off towards the drivers side and closed the door. What was that suppose to mean? When I didn't move he honked the horn getting impatient. I slide into the passengers side and locked in my seat belt. He looked at me then hit the gas. It was a silent drive. We passed through a small town and finally stopped in front of a bar.

"Your taking me to a bar?" I asked suspiciously. "They're not going to let me in, Damon."

He looked at me like I was insane than signaled for me to follow him. When we walked inside the first thing I smelt was beer and smoke. It wasn't busy though. Most of the male were playing pool with a beer in their hand while some females were at the bar smoking and stuffing down tequila. Damon brushed by the biker dudes and walked up to a young women who he greeted as Bree. I tried brushing by the bikers but one man wouldn't let me by. Before I knew it I was outside again and against huge pipe lines. I started screaming, but a hand flew over my mouth. I hoped Damon heard me. I saw a dim light in the distance than less than five meters away I saw Damon's face.

"DAMON DON'T!" I screamed tears flooding down my cheeks. He looked at me with pain filled eyes and began walking towards me. Out of nowhere he was on the ground. The biker kept hitting him with a crowbar than poured gasoline on him. I jump down from the pipeline to help him but the man turned on me with red eyes.

"What the hell?" Damon said, trying to get up but was hit again. I kept screaming for him to stop but he kept pouring gasoline on him. My eyes filled with water until I couldn't see anymore. I screamed again than stepped towards them. The man turned to me again and shoved me away. I fell on my face. Damon kept cursing. I rolled on my back and tried to breathe.

"You killed her!" The man kept saying. "And now your going to die."

"Who the hell are you talking about!" Damon shouted.

"Lexi! Your killed her! You killed Lexi!" He yelled. I sat up and managed to get to my feet.

"You were Lexi's boyfriend?" I asked, trying to buy Damon time to get up. He didn't pay attention to me. "She told me you were human? Did she change you?"

"When you wanna be with someone forever, that's what you gotta do." He said glancing at me.

"She loved, she really did love you. She was good and that means your good. She wouldn't want you to turn into him." I said gesturing to Damon who was still struggling to get his balance. "Please .. " I began pleading. "Don't hurt him, Lexi wouldn't want you to hurt him." He kept a hard eye on Damon than dropped the crowbar. "Thank-you." I said, relieved.

"It wasn't for you, it was for Lexi." He shouted. He wiped away a tear from his eye an ran past me putting me off balance. I fell again. Damon crawled over to me. "Are you alright?" He asked, wincing.

"I'm fine." I said catching my breathe. I helped him up and took him around to the front of the bar where the car was parked. I helped him into the passenger side and I walked to the drivers side. I held out my hands for the keys. He looked at me unsure than finally gave the to me. I put the key inthe ignition and started the engine. He told me the directions to the nearest motel. I pulled into the parking lot and went to check into a room. When I got back to the car I helped Damon walk to the room. He went into the shower to wash off the gasoline while I began getting ready for bed. That's when I noticed, there was only one bed. Damon walked out of the bathroom and jumped onto the bed.

"How are you feeling?" I said.

"Much better." He said smirking.

I sat on the bed beside him while he got under the covers. He looked at me. "Aren't you going to lay down?" He asked widening his smirk.

"I think I'll just take the floor." I said. I went to grab a pillow but he caught my hand. He got out from the covers and grabbed his pillow. He threw them on the ground. He rolled off the bed and onto the floor.

"Damon, it's fine I'll take the flo-" He put his finger on my lips. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my face and I started feeling dizzy. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or awake but he softly pushed me onto the bed and covered me up. Than lightly kissed my forehead.

"Good night Elena." He whispered.
