Here With Me
Hey guys – thought I'd update this one since it's pretty easy to since it's already been shown on the show (except the wedding bits of course!) This is now in Elena's POV, since it's now obvious Damon likes Elena...(I might add little bits of Damon's thoughts though...)Now it's time for Elena to tell you how she ended up loving Mr. Damon (Hotness) Salvatore!
ELENA
I looked at Damon, a cute smile was on his face and I wondered why he was so happy. There was something about his smile that got me intrigued, like he was far away - day dreaming. I asked him and he replied:
"I'm thinking, I'm the luckiest guy in the world."
I smiled. Of course he was; he'll be even luckier later on tonight. I raised my eyebrows, an expression I had seen Damon do countless of times, his 'Oooh you can't resist my sexiness' eyebrow raise, showing him just what I was thinking. He got the message and winked. We stared at each other, lost in each others eyes, before diverting our attention back to the reverend:
"Do you Elena Gilbert, take Damon Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, till death do you part?"
Death: The saying 'you only live once' seemed humorous to me now. But at that time; the time my human life was coming to an end, it was far from humorous. I still remember the agonising pain as Katherine sunk her teeth into me, feeling my life slip away as she threw me to the ground – Almost dead. My eyes flickering, taking in the last few moments of my life, until there he was – Damon – my dark knight coming to rescue me, he gave me a reason to hold on. I watched as he fought Katherine, moving so fast I could barely see them, two blurry figures dancing around each other. I forced myself to fight, fight for my life, but I knew I was slowly fading. Damon had fell to the ground, bleeding, he looked at me, seeing the light leave my eyes; fear flashed in his own deep blue eyes, not for the fact there was a vengeful vampire trying to kill him but because there I was, slipping away – slipping away from him. And I knew, what he felt for me was real.
"Damon..." I had sighed, having no energy to finish my sentence.
With a look on determination on Damon's face he had torn open his wrist, his own blood was dripping as he placed it to the wound on my neck and I felt relief; as if I was holding my breath for eternity and could now breathe again. This relief was short-lived... It was too late, even with his blood in my system. I had died...
But I came back - Back to Damon
This wasn't the first time he had saved my life either, on the contrary. I remember that night on the road – I was upside down in my car, blood rushing to my head, the hooded figure slowly slinking towards me, no one was here, not on this deserted bit of road, I accepted my fate, thinking of the people I cared about; Mum, Dad, Jeremy, Jenna, Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan...Damon. Before I could scream he had gone, and in his place Damon. I had never really liked Damon then, but seeing his face; his worry for me as he pulled me to safety, the way he delicately reached over me and undid my seat belt. The way he looked into my eyes while holding me, seeing if I was OK – I felt light-headed at his touch, back then, I had just associated it with the accident, but now I realise - it was Damon.
He was always there for me, always watching over me. The way he immediately ran to my side when he thought I would fall – the first glimpses of the man I was about to marry.
I remember how much fun we had at Atlanta, glad he had 'persuaded' me to go; the first of many road trips. He let me be myself again, the 'fun Elena', the 'carefree Elena', the 'average American girl Elena', I loved how I felt when I was around him. Though I was slightly drunk, I still remember the look on Damon's face, he was happy that I was happy, and that made me even happier. But what started off as a night off fun turned ugly, but I wouldn't change it for the world. For it was that night that I realised I cared for Damon more than I first thought.
With Lexi's boyfriend threatening to kill Damon I felt all happiness drain from me, imagining my life without Damon was unbearable, I needed him. He needed me. We needed each other.
DAMON
..and when my hope is gone you make me keep the faith'
That Night in Atlanta. I had always wondered – hoped even whether she cared for me the way I cared for her, and that night she showed me, the way her eyes pleaded with him to run when I turned the corner looking for her, full of a million words: as if saying 'save yourself, run!' She was willing to sacrifice herself for me – reigniting my belief in love, making me keep the faith. I would do anything for her.
In those moments I knew how precious Elena was to me, not just because she was my brother's girlfriend (at the time) but because I couldn't ever imagine her not in my life. Just the very thought of not having her in my life always, scared me. And I was not easily afraid.
'...You got me falling uncontrollably in love, never felt this way
got my heart, my soul but baby that just isn't enough...'
ELENA
I looked at Damon knowing he was thinking what I was thinking, I mouthed to him 'I love you', and he smiled back, 'I love you more' he mouthed back, I laughed to myself, still the same Damon, always a competition, no matter the occasion. I looked at him, wanted to mentally capture this perfect moment, this was the happiest day of my life: to spend all eternity with Damon Salvatore. Admiring his deep blue eyes I sighed and nodded:
"I do"
Needing no prompts from the reverend Damon reached over, his hand on my lower back as he brought me in, my once beating heart was aching for him as he kissed me, I heard the audience clap, but this soon turned into nothingness as I was lost in the moment. I was now Mrs. Elena Salvatore.
"You're mine now, Mr Salvatore", I whispered to him as he hugged me.
Damon moved his lips to my ear and whispered back:
"I'm all yours, Mrs Salvatore".
'...I wanna give you my name, my name, my name
I wanna give you my name, my name, my name
I wanna give you my...'
Hope you liked this. So now you know how Elena got turned, you start to see her realising she likes Damon...but is Stefan at the wedding? And when is their dance! Don't worry it's coming up.
