One review. All it took was one was review from aj81writing suggesting that I turn this one-shot into a story and here I am. I just can't say no to you guys! The story will not be very long, maybe 3-6 chapters? I oficially have three stories going on right now. Cut me some slack if one of them is delayed. :)

Elena was still frozen outside the door. She needed to get to Caroline's. But she didn't have her purse. Her purse was inside the house. Alaric and Damon were inside the house. Damon just basically admitted to Alaric that he loved Elena. Elena heard the whole damn thing.

Elena's thoughts came in short, simple sentences. Right now her brain couldn't handle any more than that. It already felt like it was going to explode. She stood there for a couple more seconds before she finallt started to think logically. She tiptoed backwards, not wanting to alarm Damon's super sensitive ears. She was making goof progress when her keys slipped from her fingers. She could har the silence in the kitchen, telling her that both Damon and Alaric had heard her sorry attempt at retreat.

She just gave up and booked it to her car, forgeting about her purse. She fumbled to unlock the doors when she finally reached the car and she thought that she might just be being ridiculous. It wasn't like Damon was going to come out here and attack her. She actually favored that over what he would actually do. He would make some witty remark, covering the last five minutes with a lie. A bad lie.

And Elena didn't know if she wanted the last five minutes to go away. Whoa, stop right there, Elena thought to herself. She didn't know what the hell was going on, but she needed someone to talk to. And she was already on her way to Caroline's...

Elena pounded on Caroline's front door. She watched as her best friend came around the corner and opened the door for Elena. Elena bursted through the door as soon as it was opened, not even stopping to greet her friend.

"Jeez, what's gotton into you?" Caroline teased. But this was no teasing manner, this was serious crap.

"I just overheard Damon talking to Alaric...about me." Elena whispered panicky.

"Okay. Let me guess, he professed his undying love for you to Ric?"

"What? No!" Elena couldn't help but remember Ric saying a similar thing to Damon. Crap. That five minutes were invading her brain. "Well, yeah. But, Care, he was, Damon was, so..." She trailed off, at a loss for words.

"Amazingly sweet?" Caroline tried to fill in the blanks in Elena's sentence.

"Yeah." Elena agreeded in disbelief. "Since when does that happen?"

"Since he fell in love with you." Caroline snorted obviously.

"C'mon, Care, he's not in love with me." Elena tried to deny it, but she knew Caroline was right.

"You c'mon, Elena! I know that you know he's in love with you. Everyone knows he's in love with you. Why can't you just admit it?" Caroline demanded, getting a little tired of this denying game.

"Because I don't want it to be true!" Elena cried. "It just makes everything the more harder and confusing."

"Whoa, wait. You're confused about what? Your feelings for Damon?" Caroline questioned, this was getting intresting.

Elena thought about it for a long moment before she responded. "No, I'm not confused about my feelings for Damon. I know that I love him. I love Damon Salvatore." Elena whispered the last part but she knew Caroline heard.

"Holy shit."

"I know, right?"

"What the hell did he say to make you realize that?"

"He said that he wanted me to be happy. More than anything he wanted me to be happy. And he saw that I was happy with Stefan, so he tried to let us be. But then, then, he asked Alaric if it was so bad to wish for him to be happy too. He said that he couldn't be happy without me."

"Damn, that boy is deep when he means it." Caroline said in awe. Elena just nodded her head in agreement. "What are you going to do?"

"I have to tell him." Elena sighed. "I have to, right?"

"Damn straight you do. Go!" Caroline was already pushing Elena towards the door.

"What? Now?" Elena yelled, frantic at the thought of telling Damon how she really felt.

"Elena! He's been loving you from afar since like, forever! You have to go tell him now!"

"You're right! I have to go tell him!" Elena cried with new found courage. Elena smiled big at Caroline before she left through the front door. She ran to her car and speeded towards the boarding house. I love Damon Salvatore. Elena thought to herself. The idea frightened her to death and excited her at the same time.

So, here's the second chapter to my supposed-to-be-oneshot. Hope you guys liked it! :)
