Elena POV

Relieve washed over me when I saw Stefan standing in the doorway. When I saw his mouth drop I cried even more because I knew what he had to be thinking. He saw his nightmare come true, his brother and his girlfriend making love.

But then something is his expression changed as if he remembered hearing me crying. He then looked at me and I cried out his name.

Suddenly everything happened in a blur. Damon was no longer on top of me and inside me, but was pinned against the wall with Stefan's hand around his neck. Stefan's hold on Damon was so strong that I'm sure it would have killed him if he were human. Then Stefan started yelling.

'Why did you do this to her? Could you no longer refrain yourself from giving in to your lewdness? Was your need so strong that you had to rape her?' he yelled with disgust.

'Stefan stop' I said quietly but I'm sure he heard me.

It's not that I actually wanted him to stop because Damon more than deserved this but I wanted him to be there for me. Now that I needed him more than ever. I needed his comfort and I needed him holding me and whispering to me that everything would be okay.

Stefan kept yelling all sort of things to Damon who looked, to my surprise, a little frightened. Then Damon spoke.

'I didn't mean to rape her', he said, 'I don't know what came over me, I thought she liked it as much as I did. I really didn't mean to rape her. I'm sorry, Elena.'

He looked at me when he apologized and I shuddered. I had never been so scared of him before. When Stefan saw me being scared of Damon, something inside him snapped. He punched Damon in the face over and over again. I couldn't handle it anymore. I couldn't see him punching Damon anymore because I knew why he punched him and that thought hurt so much. It made me see Damon on top of me again, raping me. I screamed, got up from the bed and ran into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind me. I sat down on the ground, leaning against the door with my legs pulled up against my chest and my arms wrapped around them. I continued to cry and my body began to hurt. I didn't know if it came from all the crying or from what Damon did to me. All I knew was that I needed Stefan now. I yelled his name and wished that he would forget about Damon for now and that he would come to just hold me.

Stefan POV

I noticed Elena running into the bathroom and wanted to run after her but I couldn't. I had to punish Damon for what he had done to her, my love, my beautiful Elena. I reached over to my desk, still holding Damon against the wall, to grab a bottle filled with vervain. I threw it over him and he cried out in pain. 'Just what he deserved', I thought. Then I heard Elena calling for me and I let go of him. I threw him out of my room and ran to the bathroom to find it locked.

'Elena?' I asked.

No reaction

'Elena?' I asked again, my voice filled with worry.

Again there came no reaction. All I heard was her crying and I wanted her to open the door so I could hold her and comfort her.

'Elena, honey, please open the door', I said and I heard her trying to move and unlock the door.

I opened the door to find her all curled up on the ground with her body trembling. I walked over to her and sat down next to her, lifting her in a sitting position and wrapping my arms tight around her. I held her in my arms for what felt like hours, gently rocking her back and forth. Rubbing her back with my hand and making soothing noises. I told her that she was save now and that everything would be okay.

'Why did he do this to me?' She asked, breaking the silence and finally being able to speak again.

'I don't know, honey, I don't know', I said and lifted her up from the ground. I gently lay her down on the bed and took her in my arms. She continued crying and I rubbed soothing circles on her back.

'Everything's fine now, everything will be okay', I said and gently kissed her forehead.
