Chapter 2, Comfort

Shock, Anger, pity and many other emotions flashed across his face in one second. I started to cry again and he pulled me into his embrace. "Elena don't cry he dosen't deserve your tears" he whispered into my hair. He continued, "my brother is a fool, I don't understand how he can even look at that bitch when he has you". Elena looked up at him "thank you, Damon" she said tears still pouring down her face. Without even thinking Damon wiped away her tears, a small smile formed on her face.

"Do you need anything? Food, a drink, revenge sex?" he wiggled his eyebrows and gave me his signiture smirk that I secretly loved. I slapped his arm lightly "a drink would be nice" He reached for the scotch and poured me a glass, I took it from him "thanks" "your very welcome Elena" "hopefully you'll get drunk enough to consider the revenge sex" he added I glared at him. "Hey I'm only kidding you don't have to give me that deadly stare of yours."

I laughed, and I didn't understand why, I just found out stefan slept with Katherine. I noticed over the past couple of months I've been so carefree with Damon, no matter how serious and terrible the situation he could always cheer me up. We sat on the couch and just talked for what seemed like hours. I don't know when but I fell asleep.

Damon P.O.V

I held her sleeping form in my arms. She looked so peaceful and innocent when she slept. How could my brother betray her like that? I just don't understand how he can have the most amazing beautiful girl that I would give anything for her to be mine, and he just throws it away for some selfish bitch. He made her feel terrible tonight, he made her feel like she was nothing, just a pathetic human girl that was only a replacement for Kathrine. Elena is so much more than that she's caring and selfless and beautiful inside and out. Elena shouldn't even be compared to Katherine.

As crazy as it sounds maybe stefans betrayal was a good thing maybe it means that I could have a chance to show Elena how much I truly love and care about her. Maybe she can see that we're perfect for eachother and that I would never dream about hurting her like stefan did. I looked down at her and stroked her cheek. I didn't want Elena to sleep on the couch so I carfully picked her up and brought her to the guest room. I figured it would be best since she probably wouldn't want to stay in stefans room and it would most likely be awkward for her to wake up in my room. I laid her gently on the bed and gave her a tender kiss on the cheek before I walked to my room.

I'll make Elena forget about Stefan and Katherine. She'll realize that I'm the one she's destined to be with for eternity. And with that thought I fell asleep dreaming about Elena.
