Thank ya'll for reading my story. I hope I don't disappoint.

Chapter Two

"Elena." Damon said urgently, automatically thinking the worst. "What's wrong? What's happened?" Damon grabbed his sleek leather jacket searching for his car keys. "Where are my damn keys?" He muttered waiting for Elena's response. Moments passed with nothing but silence on the other end of the line."Elena?"

"S-sorry. " Elena sniffled. She couldn't believe what just happened. What she just did. She needed someone to comfort her. She needed Damon but could she tell him that?

"Elena I'm coming over." Damon said slamming his phone shut before Elena could say anything. She hung up her phone and turned around as she felt a breeze. Standing in front of her was Damon with his gorgeous pale face and his perfectly chiseled cheek bones. Damon's eyes as black as night looked into hers.

"Damon." His name almost came out in a whisper. Damon didn't know what to do. He wanted to run up and hold her softly in his arms but she belonged to Stefan.

"Elena, what's wrong? Why are you so upset?" Elena was a mess. Her mascara was running down her cheeks. Her eyes were blood shot and she looked like she hadn't slept in days.

"Stefan and I are done." Elena knew that Damon wasn't going to be heartbroken from the news of the break up. He would probably be ecstatic.

"I'm sorry Elena." Damon could really care less. He wanted Elena, ever sense they first met. He gently took her hand, first looking at her to make sure it was ok before he continued. She didn't pull her hand back so he figured it was ok. Damon took her hand and caressed it softly. He pulled her over to her bed and set her down, sitting beside her.

"Damon I don't know what you have in mind but I'm not ready for anything." She had a feeling that Damon might take advantage of her in this delicate state.

"Don't worry my darling, I'm just being a friend." Of course Damon could force himself on her and try and make her do things she didn't want to but that wouldn't help anything in the end.

"Damon I just want to get away for a while. I need to be as far away from Stefan Salvatore as I can." Elena got up and went to her closet pulling out a suitcase. She walked to her drawers, starting to pack enough clothes for maybe a month.

"What are you doing?" Damon got off of the bed walking over beside Elena, making her look at him.

"I'm leaving. I don't know where I'm going to go or how I'm going to get there but, I'm leaving one way or another." She looked into Damon's eyes.

"Fine. That's probably a good idea. I'll let you pack." Damon turned to leave.

"Wait!" Elena couldn't let him leave yet. She wanted him to get away with her.

"Yess?" Damon turned his head in her direction.

"Please...don't go."

"Why should I stay? You're leaving right?" Damon knew that she wanted him to say and he knew that she wanted him to go with her. He wanted her to ask though.

"Yes I am and I..."

"And you what?" come on Elena, ask me.

"I want you to go with me." Elena watched for Damon's reaction. Which of course was victory. "To protect me, of course." She couldn't have him getting any ideas.

"Of course." Damon said slyly.

"I'm serious Damon, protection only," She tried her best to sound serious.

"I know I know." Damon opened her window.

"Wait you're still leaving?"

"Well if I'm going to go away for, who knows how long, I need clothes and stuff."

"Oh yea. Well I want to leave before morning. Is that ok?" Elena wanted to get away before morning so she wouldn't have to say goodbye,

"That's perfect. I'll be back as soon as I can." Damon smiled the sweetest smile he could. Then he disappeared out of her window.

When Damon arrived at the boardinghouse he saw his sorry, pathetic, useless brother.

"Well baby brother you don't have to worry about me destroying the town." Damon had to piss his brother off one more time before he left. He made himself a drink sitting down across from Stefan.

"What have you just had some life changing experience?"

"No but I am leaving town."

"Oh really? Why?"Stefan knew he hadn't finally gotten his brother to do something he wanted him to do.

"I'm going on a little vacation with the beautiful Elena." Damon smiled at Stefan, waiting for him to go off.

"Fuck you Damon." Stefan was pissed. He stormed off to his room like a two year old.

"Ahh Stefan." Damon smiled standing to head to his room and pack ", you never change." Damon loved fucking with Stefan. He was always so easy to piss off, so predictable. Damon went up to his room packing all of the stuff he needed. He was eager to get back to his future Princess of Darkness. He knew that this trip together would make Elena finally see that he was the brother she should have picked in the first place. He was the better of the two and he was the one that could make her happy. He just had to convince her of that.
