-Back at the campus Bonnie and Caroline are sitting beside a crying Elena
Elena: I know I should hate him, but I just can't
Bonnie: Maybe because you're still in love with him
-She turns her head to Bonnie and talks like her nose is all stuffy
Elena: What? No. I love Daniel, just when I saw Damon again something just came over me and I felt like that helpless love puppy from 10 months ago all over again
-She begins to cry harder, then Damon walks into the dorm, all the girls turn except for Elena because she can already sense it's him
Damon: Can you give us a minute?
-Caroline gives him an evil glare
Damon: Please?
-Caroline and Bonnie look at each other for a moment then turn back to him
Bonnie: Fine, but only 5 minutes
-They get up and begin to walk away, Caroline stops at the door
Caroline: This is our room after all
-She closes the door behind her, there is an awkward silence
Damon: Hey
-He walks over to where she can see him and notices she was crying
Damon: Hey, hey, why the tears?
-He sits down across from her
Elena: What are you doing here Damon?
Damon: Jeremy needed help bringing his stuff to his new place here so I drove up here to so that I can help her, and we could talk, I mean really talk this time.
Elena: I'm surprised he let you
Damon: Yeah well it took a lot of convincing, but he came around
-He stands back up and starts to look around the dorm
Damon: So uh, where's your boyfriend
-Elena stands up and walks over to the mirror to fix herself up
Elena: Fiancé, and not that it's any of your business but he has a class right now
-She checks her phone for the time
Elena: And it just ended which means he will be here any second so you should leave
Damon: But we really need to talk
Elena: Well I really don't have the time or patience to right now
-She goes and opens the door
Elena: I'll call you when I'm ready
Damon: Fair enough
-He walks over to the door
Damon: But just so you know, I never stopped loving you. Never have, never will
-She bites her lip and moves her head to signal him to leave; He leaves, and after she can no longer hear his footsteps, begins to cry again
*Enter Daniel
Daniel: Ok I just saw Damon outside the dorm, what the hell was he doing here?
-When he sees she's crying he runs and sits next to her
Daniel: What happened? Did he hurt you?
Elena: I'm fine, it's not like it's the first time he's done this
-He gives her a hug, camera moves outside, shows Damon looking in the window upset, then one tiny tear runs down his face
-A little while later Damon returns to the Salvatore home, closing the door behind him he yells for Stefan
Damon: Stefan! You here?
-Stefan enters the living room holding up his phone
Stefan: What the hell is going on? Daniel just told me you went to Whitmore to see Elena, then left her in tears
Damon: Yeah I did. We really needed to talk but she wouldn't hear me out. I need your help
-Stefan crosses his arms
Stefan: As fun as that is, I'll pass. I'm not going to help you get Elena back again
Damon: Come on! Why not?
Stefan: Well for starters she's engaged
Damon: And second?
Stefan: Daniel's a friend
Damon: Oh he's a friend. Ok then I completely understand why you choose your friend over your own blood, makes perfect sense. Thanks brother.
-He goes to leave but Stefan steps in front of him
Stefan: Please tell me you're not going to come up with some drastic plan to get Elena back
Damon: Too late
-He hits Stefan's shoulder and walks past, Stefan lets out a sigh of concern
-The next day after Damon leaves Stefan calls Daniel
Daniel: Hey Stef
Stefan: Hey how's Elena?
Daniel: I don't know she doesn't want to talk about it as usual
Stefan: Of course not. I'll see what Caroline knows
Daniel: Oh please, we both know those three have a sacred no telling boyfriends stuff policy
-Stefan bites his lip
Stefan: Yeah your right Caroline won't crack, I don't know I guess Elena will tell you when she's ready
Daniel: Yep
Stefan: Hey you want to come over for a drink since the girls are going to be at the spa thing all day?
Daniel: Yeah sure, see you soon
-They end the call
Later on Daniel arrives back at the house and Stefan gives him a drink
Daniel: Thanks
Stefan sits down across from him
Stefan: Listen, I talked to Damon and I don't think he's gonna back down from getting Elena back anytime soon
Daniel: I'm not surprised. After all the stories about him you and Elena have told me I wouldn't expect anything less
Stefan: Just be careful, when it comes to Elena he can be very unpredictable
Daniel: I'm not worried. He won't hurt me because he knows it will hurt Elena
Stefan: I'm not so sure. She's forgiven him for a lot. He may just think she'll do it again
Daniel: True… And hey listen man thanks for talking about this with me. I know it must be awkward for you
Stefan: What? Awkward? No, I mean I'm talking about my brother and I's exe with her fiancé and also talking about how my brother wants our ex back with her fiancé. Just another normal day.
Daniel: Thank you though, for still giving me a chance
Stefan: You're a cool guy and I consider you a friend now. And I care about Elena's happiness so if you can provide that for her then we're cool
They clink their glasses
