Hey everyone! So this is my first Vampire Diaries fan fiction, but I've written stories for NCIS, shipping Tiva. I am a HUGE fan of the show, and a big Damon/Elena believer. This is just a random story I thought of, and it could be a one-shot or a three-shot, depending on people liking it, or if I have enough time (Junior year is KILLING me.). Anyways hope you all enjoy it! And remember, review, review, review!

"Welcome back." Damon said as Elena stepped into the house. "You do realize it's two am, right?"

"Gah!" She jumped and spun around. "Damon! You scared me!" She hit him on the shoulder.

"You know you love it." Damon retorted, walking into the living room to his shelf of scotch.

Elena plopped down on the couch sighing. This had been happening since…he left. The same routine, she would show up in the middle of the night, he would attempt to make her smile, and she would sleep in his room, soaking up whatever last bits of him that lingered there. She knew it wasn't healthy, but it was the only way she could sleep now.

"What are you pondering about?" Damon asked as he sat next to her on the couch.

"Just thinking about…" She trailed off. He knew who she was thinking about.

"It's late. You should sleep." Damon said, draining his mix of blood and alcohol.

Elena just nodded as she made her way to Stefan's room.

Damon looked at her retreating back, wishing for once she was going into his bed. He sighed as she turned the corner into his brother's old one.

'Why did you have to be such a dick, and break her?' He thought as he set his glass on the table and walked into his lonely room.

"Stefan? Stefan, is that you?" Elena called as she ran forward to him.

He caught her in his arms and pulled her close. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." He said.

Elena's eyes shot open. That wasn't the voice she should be hearing… "Damon?" She exclaimed trying to get out of his hold.

"Shhhh, Elena its okay." He said.

"Elena?" She heard another voice ask.

"Stefan!" Elena cried breaking Damon's hold.

Stefan walked right past Elena, right past Damon, like they were invisible. He walked right up the Katherine and kissed her.

"I missed you, Stefan." Katherine said, a mirror of Elena's.

They slowly disappeared together, lost in each others eyes. Elena stood there with Damon, tears running down her face.

"Damon." Elena cried as she went up to him expecting him to hug her.

"No. You picked him. And now he's gone. What makes you think I'm going to pick up the broken pieces?" Damon said, as he backed up away from her.

"But wait!" Elena sobbed.

"Goodbye Elena." Damon, said as he too disappeared.

"No. No. No. NO!" Elena screamed in anguish as she fell to her knees.

"AHHHHHHH!" Elena screamed and gasped as she sat up in bed, his bed.

Damon, who had just fallen asleep, came running.

"Elena? Are you okay?" Damon said, as he blurred to her side.

"Damon, Damon, Damon, Damon." She cried as she stroked his face.

"Let's get you out of here." He said as he lifted her out of the bed and took across the hall to his.

He set her down and kneeled in front of her, wiping her tears. "Shhhh, Elena its okay. I promise its okay." He said as he put his arm around her and pulled her close. "What happened?" He asked.

Elena just started sobbing harder.

He just let her cry, rubbing her back and whispering sweet nothings in her ear, calming her down.

Eventually, her breathing evened out and she tears subsided as she fell into a deep sleep.

Lulled by the sound of her deep breaths, Damon soon found his eyes closing and sleep overtaking his mind.

With Elena in his arms, he slept the best he had in 145 years.

So….Like? Hate? Let me know! Review if you want me to continue this story! It will be a three-shot at most! Hope you all liked it!
