Chapter 2 – the promise

I was in front of the door of the boardinghouse the door was open so I walked in and found an empty bottle Wiskey on the floor I picked it up and put it on the side table

I saw light flickering in the living room so I supposed Damon was in there

I saw him sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace and I took a seat next to him and just when I was about to say something he turns his face in my direction and he looked like he was falling in peaces

"Damon what happend? I found a bottle on the floor are you okay ? " Even if I was still mad at him it pains me to see how he looked so broken at this moment

"Nothing happend so tell me what youre doing here and then just go don't act like you wanna be around me because I know you hate me Elena you didn't come here to act like were friends so just say what you want and then just go please .."

"Damon I don't hate you yes I'm still mad about yesterday but that doesn't mean I don't care about you dont push me away Damon not now"

"Why Elena please tell me why you are doing this first you told me how you hate me en now you supposed to care about me what is it about you that I keep trying to get our friendship back

before I met you I didn't care about anything and now I even made a promise to Stefan I can't keep"

What was he talking about what promise is that what they were talking about in the tomb

"Damon what promise what are you talking about"

"I Promised Stefan to keep you safe but how can I keep you safe if you don't want to be saved

I can't understand why you wanted to sacrifice yourself didn't you think about Jeremy and Jenna and Stefan and all your friends let me ask you one thing Elena, How did you feel yourself after losing your Parents How will Jeremy feel himself if he loses you to ?"

"How do you think how I feel when my parents died It was the most horrible feeling I ever had

and about Jeremy he has Jenna and If I could keep Jeremy and Jenna safe by sacrificing myself I would do it I don't want anything happen to them"

"And I dont want anything happen to you" He looked straight in my eyes and I was speechless about what he was telling me was this about the promise he made to Stefan or was it something else

Damon's POV

I wanted to tell her so much more I wanted to tell her she means the world to me that she makes me feel all kind off things I didn't feel before I wanted to tell her I will do anything for her If she only knew sometimes I wish she remembered the night when I brought her necklace to her

she kept her eyes locked in mine until she wrapped her armes around me and started to cry

I didn't wanted to make her cry but she needed to hear this so the next time she get a stupid idea off killing herself she thinks twice before she does something like that

Elena's POV

I don't know why but I just wanted to hold Damon to feel some comfort I felt myself safe in his arms tried to wipe the tears away but they didn't stop and I didn't want to let go off him it felt so nice with Damon I didn't have to be a big girl with him I just can let myself open up to him

He just holds me without saying a word that's what I need

With Stefan I feel like there's a wall between us and then he says some comforting words that doesn't help and only make me feel worse than I already felt Like are you okay and then I think no I'm not okay because if I was okay then I wasn't here crying things like that

I know it sounds mean but thats the different about Stefan and Damon

I looked up when I noticed his shirt was all wet because off my tears

"sorry about your shirt now it's all wet" I bit on my bottom lip and looked at his face he gave me a little smile

"Don't be sorry It's okay I'm gonna put a new shirt on and drop this one in the laundry don't worry about it" he told me when he pulls his shirt off

I blushed and wanted to walk to the kitchen when I fell over my handbag and fell straight in his lap with my hands on his upper body

"I'm so sorry" Pff Elena don't be so clumsy I was thinking

"If you wanted to sit on my lap and touch me you just have to ask" He told me wile he gave me that famous smirk

"Stop it Damon not funny" I laughed

"Thats what I wanted to see I told you before a long time ago in your kitchen You know how to laugh I like to see you laugh Tears only cost me wet shirts and I don't like doing the laundry that much I don't have Stefan in here now to do it for me"

That reminds me of Stefan maybe Damon has an idea to get Stefan out

"Uhm.. Damon talking about Stefan I want to ask you something if thats okay?"

"I already know what you want to ask me and the answer is No sorry Elena I don't know how we can get Stefan out of there Bonny isn't strong enough and I don't know any other witches who can keep up with the spell we need a very powerfull witch to do it"

"But what I do know is that I'm going upstairs to put a new shirt on before you like to touch my body again maybe some other time darling and uhm.. Elena it's rude to stare .."He winked at me

I didn't even know that I was doing it untill he told me so I put my hands on my face before he saw me blushing again

Oh my god Elena what are you doing snap out of it come on you have Stefan in there stop doing that you are here to make a plan to get him out of there ….I was thinking

Before I had the time to turn around Damon stood already behind me with a big smile on his face

"O uhm .. Elena I need to go to the shop to buy some things I guess you don't like blood bags do you"

"No I dont is it okay if I go with you I need something to buy for Bonny"

"Yes offcourse it's okay who doesn't wanna go shopping with a beautifull girl like you"

"My car or your car?"

"What do you think" He told me with a cocky smile

"Okay stupid question"
