She's out on the corner, trying to catch a glimpse

Nothing's making sense

She's been chasing an answer

A sign lost in the abyss this metropolis

One year later

Elena is sitting at a bar drinking a glass of whiskey, it always makes her feels happy, but she doesn't know why and has never questioned it. The bartender brings her over another one and Elena looks at him in confusion since she didn't order another one yet. He nods his head over to a man standing at the bar.

"He ordered it for you." The bartender explains

"Thanks." Elena picks up the drink at the man who just nods his head. Elena downs the her whiskey, this is her forth glass already and is already feeling tipsy. She picks up her bad and head to the toilet, once she's inside the toilet she splashes some water on herself when she looks back up she see's the man who ordered her that drink in the mirror standing behind her. She turns to leave feeling her heartbeat start to race, but the man stands in front of her and pushes Elena against the wall, she drops her bag. The man starts to forcefully kiss her, she hits him.

"Get off me!" Elena screams, the man grabs hold of her hands and pins them above her head. She starts crying "Let me go!" dodging her head away from his lips. She closes her eyes knowing what is going to happen next she swore at herself for not bringing someone out to drink with her. She then hears the bathroom doors open, she opens her eyes to see a man with dark hair with blazing eyes looking at them. Then in a split second he has threw the man off her and has him up against the wall with his hand around the man throats.

"The girl told you to let her go!" the stranger sneers, he let's go off the man and punches him in the stomach "Touch her again and you won't be seeing tomorrow." The man who just nearly rapped her runs out of the bathroom. Elena falls to the floor and brings her legs up to her chest and sobs. The man walks over to her and kneels down next to her and wipes away her tears.

"His gone now, and won't be bothering you again. Believe me." He whispers and stands up and helps her up, he bends down and picks up her bag and hands it to her "Are you okay?" he worried.

"I am now, thanks to you." Elena gives him a small smile and puts her bag over her shoulder, she looks into the guys eyes and something is so familiar about him but she can't remember why, she sticks her hand out for him to shake "I'm Elena."

"Damon." He shakes her hand with a smile, he never thought he would ever see her again, not in this lifetime anyways. But when he came into the bar and spot her and then spot that man follow her into the toilets he just couldn't leave her. What he wanted to know is why she is was here, in the middle of no where. A long way from Mystic Falls. "Let me take you home, it would make me feel a lot better knowing you got home safely."

"I don't live around here, only here for a break. Thanks for the offer but I don't think you want to drive to Mystic Falls just to make sure I get home safe." She gives him a small smile.

"It's only an hour or so away from here. I'm not taking no for an answer, let me drive you home. Back to Mystic Falls." Damon commands, he wondered what she needed a break from. It would be good to go home and see the old gang.

"I guess it would save me money." Elena smiles, they both walk out the bathroom and bar, Damon leads her to his car, Elena knows this car she's seen it in her dreams so many times. She shakes her head forgetting the thought and climbs in.

Damon climbs in the drivers seat, starts the engine and starts driving towards Mystic falls. In the corner of his eye he watches Elena looking up at the sky looking up at the stars, a shooting star shoots by. "Make a wish." Damon suggests, he watches Elena close her eyes and when she re opens them she looks at him "So what did you wish for?" he questioned.

"Now if I told you what I wished for it won't come tree." Elena smiled and looks back outside the window

After an hour of driving, they past the 'Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign, Damon smiles not really believing he is coming back to Mystic Falls after he promised himself he wouldn't. He then remembered that he had to pretend that he didn't know where she lived. He asked her for directions and he drove to his old house, when he pulled up outside the house he sighed. He notice another car in the drive way and wondered who's car it was. Elena unbuckled her belt and looked at him.

"Would you like to come in? After all the trouble I've put you through tonight?" Elena asked

"No trouble at all, Elena. Sure, I would love too." Damon climbed out of the car and looked up at his mansion which he hadn't seen in a year and thought he would never see again, he turns and faces Elena "So, is anyone in?" he asks

"Yeah, my brother, his girlfriend, and my daughter." Elena replies and walks into the house. Damon couldn't believe that she had a daughter, she moved on quickly. But then again he did make her forget about him and Stefan. It did break his heart though, he shouldn't be here, he could leave right now, get in the car and rive off without looking back. But he was curious. He walks into the house, he doesn't know where Elena has gone, he walks into the lounge to see Bonnie sitting on the sofa, he has one more chance to leave but he doesn't and he takes one step forward and the floorboard creeks, Bonnie turns around and drops her glass of drink she is holding which smashes on the ground. Damon smirks and crosses his arms.

"Look's like you have seen a ghost little anchor." Damon chuckles, he watches Bonnie blink and couple of times and then rub her eyes. She walks up to him and touches his face, then slaps him hard across the face which surprises him.

"Don't look too surprise. What are you doing here Damon? You promised you wouldn't come back, you can't just can't walk out of her life and come back in it whenever you want!" Bonnie hisses.

"It wasn't my choice, if I didn't step in she would of got rapped!" he sneers which takes her by surprise "This year has felt like a million years, don't you know how hard it was for me to give her up and leave her! She's lucky because she didn't have to feel the pain I did. I'm just here to drop her off then I'm going, she looks happy and she told me she has a kid. Who's the father?" he asks. Bonnie looks down.

"You deserve to know, the child is yours Damon. She fell pregnant the day after you left. I don't know how it happened but it did. That child is yours. We have tried getting in contact with you but you kept blowing off our calls and kept getting a new phone. She's half vampire and half human. One more thing Elena still remembers all about vampires and all that supernatural stuff." Bonnie whispers, her eyes wander to where Elena is standing looking at Bonnie in confusion.

"You know him?" Elena asks, Damon turns around and faces her.
