"Damon" she whispered as she just looked at him.
"Don't mind me, I'll be out of here before you know it" he said walking by her and up the stairs to his room.
"No, wait I just want to talk to you" she said following him into the room.
"So talk, because I really have nothing to say to you, Elena" he said going to his closet to grab some of his things.
"Where have you been?" she couldn't help but wonder. He's been gone this long without even telling anyone where he was.
"Well, Elena, if you must know I left town and headed towards Florida" he said taking out some of his clothes and putting them in his bag.
"Why all the way out there?" she asked him.
"I needed some sun, I hated this place. It was always cold, I hate cold" he said as he walked towards his bed. It was still the way he left it but now it had gathered some dust on there since he left.
"What did you do?" she asked him, she really didn't want to know. She just wanted to know what he was doing, packing more of his things?
"Since you asked, I meant a girl" and he couldn't help the smile the showed up on his face.
"You- you meant a girl? You didn't use compel her did you?" she asked as she looked at Damon to see if he was lying. She always knew when he was.
"No, Elena, I didn't. She actually, kinda likes me" he said and looked at her. He wasn't lying, she said to herself. "What's with the 20 questions anyways?" he asked her this time.
"I- I don't know. I was worried about you, just like I always am" she answered as she look down at her shirt, actually it was Stefan's shirt she was wearing.
"Well, don't. I'm not like Stefan, I'm not wasting my time killing people" he said putting his bag on his bed.
"Then what are you doing, now?" she asked.
"I'm not going to stay here, Elena" he said as he walked across the room.
"Then when are you coming back" she pleased as she following him.
"I'm going to live with her" he said, he was taking stuff out of he drawers now, and Elena couldn't help but notice how empty they were.
"So, I'm never going to see you again, Damon?" she said looking at him. He just stood there for a moment before walking back to his bed.
"What was I supposed to do? I fought for him and then what? Just give up on him because something happened between us? And another thing what gave you the rights to just make Bonnie's mother into a vampire?" she yelled at him. Was he really going to think that she was just going to let everything go. No, he made Bonnie's mom a vampire, that something she can't for give him for.
"Well, I had to do something! It wasn't like I wanted to, and you should be fucking happy now that I'm going to be out of your life forever. And another thing, Elena" he said turning towards her. "I could have loved you forever and that still wouldn't have been enough for you. I think I could actually love that girl in the car waiting for me. Waiting for me and me just loving her back is already more than enough. I tried everything for you; to be the better man, to do the right thing, to be human. But it was still Stefan at the end, it was him you wanted all along. So remember me even after I'm gone, that I was the one that got away. Because even though I'm dead, I'm still alive and I do deserve to be loved" he said, stuffing everything in his bag as he walked out of his bedroom. He could hear her start to cry as he walked down the stairs.
"You are just going to leave her like that?" he heard Stefan say.
"She doesn't care about me, Stefan. She just crying because she's hurt. Give her a couple of days" he said looking at his bother now.
"I have, it's been months now. All she does is hurt these days because without you she's not the same" Stefan moved to block him. "Damon, she wants you, she always have" Stefan said.
"Well, what can I say. I moved on, she's all yours" Damon said flatly. "Why does she want me now? Is it because she knows I won't be there for her this time?"
"I'm not even sure what she wants. One minute she's so happy, so in love. The next, her thoughts are some where else. She just can't stop thinking about you even if she wanted to" Stefan said looking at his brother and Damon could see in his brother's eyes that he was almost as tired as he was to be fighting for over a girl. "You should stay, at least for awhile" Stefan finally said.
"I shouldn't" was all Damon could say.
"But for her you will" Stefan said as he looked at his brother for a moment and walked upstairs. "Oh" he said turning around and getting Damon attention "you should let your girlfriend come in, I bet she's worried that you're spending too much time in here. I'll go check on Elena, you go check on her and make sure she doesn't realize you're a vampire" he said heading to Damon's room.
Yeah, that was one secret he hadn't told her. It wasn't like he meant to fall for her, he just kinda did. God, this was ending up like Twilight, what the hell? And what was he supposed to say 'oh hey, I think I'm falling in love with you and I'm a vampire, is it cool if I moving?' oh yeah, she's going to love that one. Damon just shook his head as he walked out the door.
