Elena woke up to crying and screaming like she'd never heard before. She flew out of her bed into the room across the hall from hers. There she found her one and a ½ old son standing sobbing in his crib. "Adian mommy's here baby, shhh." He was burning up "What's the matter baby?" Adian was in pain, his fever was at 102, Elena did the only thing she knew and called her dad.
Grayson was a pediatrician back in Mystic Falls. Elena had moved away before she found out she was pregnant with Adian and vowed she'd never come back. There was just too much hurt, and memories there for her. She and Adian now lived in Boston, and despite having some of the best hospitals in the country, she still called her dad when it came to her son.
"Dad, he's burning up, his fever is at 102, and he's screaming crying in pain. What do I do?"
"Elena 1st calm down. Did you give him anything to help with the fever?" During her panic, she didn't even think to give him anything. She just called her dad.
"No" she said and she let out her breath she didn't know she was holding. "Start with Tylenol, and call me in the morning", Grayson instructed.
Elena ran to her medicine cabinet and found the baby Tylenol, and administered it to her blue-eyed son. She rocked Adian in the rocking chair her mom had rocked her in as a baby until he was falling back into a slumber. Elena put him back into his crib and crawled back into her bed. There she started crying. She missed him, she needed him, his son needed him, even if he didn't know he existed.
"Elena, you know I'll always love you right? I just don't think we can do this anymore."
Elena body was wrapped in Damon's arms as he spoke those words, she looked up with tears in her eyes.
"Damon why are we here then? Why am I back in your bed?"
Truth of the matter than had broken up. Elena had gone to school in Boston, and long distance did nothing for their relationship. She was graduating after the next semester, and had planned to move back to Mystic Falls, hoping they could reconnect.
"Elena, I met someone new".
With those words, she wrapped herself in the sheets, and franticly looked for her clothes.
"Elena, Elena" Damon demanded her attension. She stopped, looked up at him, "I'm getting married, I just wanted to have this last time with you to say goodbye".
Elena could hardly see, the tears blocked her line of sight. Her body was shaking, and she couldn't help the feeling that her heart was broken in a million pieces.
"Damon.." she barly managed to get out. "I hate you, I never loved you and you don't get to be the one to say goodbye. I never want to see you again."
Elena ran out of Damon's apartment and slammed the door behind her. Her back hit the wall next to the door, and she slid down till she was crying into her knees. She told him, she hated him, that she never loved him, that she never wanted to see him again. All lies, everything last word, but she needed to make him feel her pain.
