The Happy Ending We Deserve
Damon's POV
"I love you Damon" Elena said. Those words were the only words Damon ever needed to hear. In that moment nothing else mattered, not the sire bond or Stefan. "Get in your car right now, come to me" I said it, I don't regret it, not for a second. After she hung up, I looked up at the sky, to my best friend Alaric, and I just smiled. For the first in a long time, I just smiled.
Elena's POV
I needed to get to the lake house as quickly as possible. I don't know if it was the sire bond making me feel that, or if it was just my own desire to see Damon. I went upstairs quickly and packed. I packed lightly knowing I wasn't going to need much, we would hopefully be home soon enough. After I finished packing I changed my clothes, and ran out the door and into my car as quickly as possible. I drove for about an hour until I got to the lake house. I got out of the car and got my bag, but nobody was in sight, I couldn't even hair a sound anywhere. I went inside the house and found a note on the island. "Be back soon, just went out with Jer and Matt for a bit. Love, Damon" "I miss you already" I say out loud even though I know nobody can hear me.
Damon's POV
"So where are we going?" Jeremy said. "Well, maybe if you would be quiet and wait we would get there sooner." I say, with my snarky smirk afterwards. We finally got to the bar, hopefully it was the right place from the address Klaus gave me. We all got out of my icy blue camaro, once we walked inside we saw Klaus sitting at the bar surrounded by bodies. "Did you kill all these people?!" I could hear Matt say. I knew they weren't dead, they were in transition. Klaus expected Jeremy to kill all these people. We finally got away before the newborns woke up after feeding. They were trying to kill Matt, we all knew that. We got to the lake house and ran inside. Nobody could get in unless Jeremy invited them in. We got inside and I noticed a figure lying on the couch. It was Elena. I walked over to her as Jeremy and Matt headed up the stairs. "Lena" I said as I put a piece of hair behind her ear to wake her up.
Elena's POV
I woke up to Damon's soft gentle voice. I didn't even know I had fallen asleep. "Damon, you're back" I said with a sleepy voice. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep" "Why don't you go upstairs and get some rest, I'll be up in a minute." "Ok" I said as I took him into a deep kiss. Once we separated I smiled, and sat up to go upstairs. Damon stayed downstairs to grab my bags I had completely forgotten about, and he went upstairs right behind me. "Elena, why don't you lie down and fall asleep, I'm gonna go get a drink" "Okay, I love you Damon" I said very truthfully. "I love you too Elena" he bent over and gave me a quick kiss, it was short but beautiful. After that he left the room to get a drink.
Damon's POV
I'm still trying to process everything that has happened tonight. First, Klaus shows up suddenly at the lake house and wants to put Jeremy in danger by killing a bunch of vampires. Then, while I was burying the dead pizza girl, Elena called and gave that amazing bomb. Now, everything keeps happening and I'm happier than I've ever been. I get a glass of bourbon and I don't even realize that I've been down there for hours until Elena comes down in her pajamas looking for me. "Damon, where have you been?" she says as she walks down the stairs. "Sorry, I was just caught up in my thoughts, what time is it?" "It's almost 2 in the morning, you've been down here for over an hour." "Oh, I didn't even realize, it only felt like a couple of minutes." "That's what I love about you, you can get so lost in your own world. It's sexy" Suddenly she sat down next to me and kissed me, we were kissing for minutes and we got lost in our own little world yet again. All of our problems could wait until tomorrow.
