Chapter 3

Elena and Damon were having fun celebrating their engagement with family and friends.

Uncle John Gilbert showed up before the food was done.

"To Damon and Elena," they toasted.

"Why are we toasting Elena and Damon," asked a familiar bubbly voice.

They all turned to see Caroline and Tyler standing there with wonder in their eyes.

"Damon and Elena are engaged," slurred Uncle John, Which isn't unusual for him. He owned the local mechanic shop but was known to be a drunk.

"What!" exclaimed Caroline.

Elena blushed while Damon squeezed her waist with a big smile.

"It's true barbie," Damon answered. Caroline ran to the two of them and grabbed them in a hug.

"I'm so happy for you two," squealed Caroline.

"Congrats you two," shared Tyler.

"Have you told the siblings yet," wondered Caroline.

"That's a good idea. We should call them" offered Miranda.

"That's perfect," agreed Angela.

Damon pulled his phone out, "We'll call Stefan first. Since he's on the same timezone as us."

It was already four in the afternoon. Damon dialed his brother's number and put it on speaker. On the second ring Stefan picked up.

"What do you need?"

"Is that how you treat your favorite brother?"

"Damon you;re my only brother."

"Your point."

"Is there a reason you called or are you just wasting my study time?"

"Stefan be nice to your brother," chided Angela.

"Mom?"

"Oh did I forget to tell you, this call is on speaker."

"Damon be nice," Elena smacked Damon's arm.

"Hi everybody. I'm guessing the Sunday barbeque.

"That's right son," answered Guiseppe.

"Well brother since you said you were studying I'll get to the reason we called."

"Thank you."

"I proposed to Elena."

-Silence-

"She said yes."

-More Silence-

"We're engaged."

-Dead Quiet-

"Stefan are you there?" asked Elena.

"Congratulations you two. Thanks for telling me. I'm busy at the moment but the moment I come home we are celebrating. Bye."

The phone clicked signaling Stefan ended the call. Guiseppe and Angela didn't look to thrilled with how Stefan acted.

Elena decided to go with calling Jeremy. He answered after the first ring.

"What's up sis?"

"Hey you're on speaker phone and the usual suspects are here."

Jeremy laughed, "Hey everybody."

Everyone said, "Hi Jeremy."

"What's going on, for me to be honored with this phone call."

"Me and damon are engaged!"

"Congrats. About time. Now hopefully Alaric and Jenna will get the picture."

"Hey I heard that," screeched Jenna.

Jeremy laughed, "Hey I'm actually going to be late but I need to go meet up with Anna. We are going out with her parents."

"Well love you and have fun."

"Bye and congrats."

"Bye," everyone replied.

"Well that was easy," commented Elena.

Damon though was a little unnerved with how Stefan reacted to the news. He thought his brother moved past it. But he was wrong.

Elena saw Damon's face and knew he was thinking of Stefan's response. She was mad inside that Stefan couldn't be happy for his brother. She was worried what Damon might do. She knew he loved his brother and she didn't want to come between the two.

~Later~

Damon and Elena were in Damon's room at the Salvatore's. They were both drunk and Jenna and Alaric were crashing at the Gilberts.

They were laying on the floor of his room since there was no bed. They were to tired to make it to the guest room.

Angela brought them some pillows and blankets. They laid the thickest blanket in the floor to lay on. Damon was in the nude while Elena was in Damon's shirt.

"Damon are you okay?"

"Of course I am."

"You've been down since the phone call with Stefan. Don't lie."

"I'm just upset. That he can't be happy for me. Well us. It's been a while well about 4 years since your break up. I understand why he was mad at the beginning. But now its like he is broken."

"It's not your fault. I shouldn't of dated him. I've always had feelings for you. I'm the reason Stefan and you can't get along."

"No, Elena it's not. Anyways he walked away first. He knew that you had feelings for me. He let himself get in this mess. You tried to make it work."

"Still I feel bad. You two used to be close until I mucked it up."

"You had nothing to do with it. He will get over it. I know he will. He just hasn't found the right girl."

"Still I just wish he could be happy for us."

"He will and remember it's not your fault."

Damon pulled Elena close while she snuggled into him with tears in her eyes. He hated that his baby bro and her supposed best friend is causing her this much pain.

He knew Stefan blamed him for the break up but it wasn't all him. Stefan had a dark side that he couldn't control. Damon tried to help but it's the lawyer in Stefan that made it difficult.

Stefan was a shark, worse then Guiseppe. Guiseppe knew how to have fun and relax. Stefan didn't, he was always on edge. Damon thought Stefan needed to find that girl who will help him unwind.

~Flashback~

Elena was seventeen and getting ready for Miss Mystic Falls. Her, Caroline, and others were competing. Miranda and Angela helped both Elena and Caroline pick their dresses.

Elena was with Stefan and Caroline with Tyler. Elena and Caroline were having a friendly competition but Elena knew how badly Caroline wanted it.

Stefan went missing and soon it was time for Elena to walk down the staircase for her entrance.

Elena walked down hoping to see Stefan but knew better. Before Caroline went down she noticed there was a stand in for her.

When she looked up she couldn't prevent the smile on her face. Damon just stood in the stand in spot and was looking at her.

He wrapped her arm around his. He escorted her out to where they will do the dance. The dance that even the near touch brings intimacy.

During the dance she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. She had a small smile and couldn't believe it. Damon was wearing a small smirk but also kept his eyes locked with hers.

Damon saw that his brother was no where to be found. He couldn't believe that Stefan would do this to Elena. When he saw the stand in, he had to take action. It was worth it with the smile he received. He also noticed how beautiful she was.

Elena was only seventeen but he couldn't help it. He just came home from college earlier that summer and he has noticed how beautiful she was. He was going to be starting his final year while she was going to be starting her junior year of high school.

The dance came to an end and Damon escorted her off the dance floor. He saw their parents and were glad they didn't look mad at them. He saw that their moms were both taking photos. He couldn't help but smile.

He stood there and watched barbie win but he was glad to see that Elena wasn't disappointed in losing.

~Flashback end~

Damon looked at Elena and was glad to see her asleep. She looked peaceful and innocent, He made sure that they were comfortable and warm. He pulled the covers more over her and settled. He fell asleep listening to her light snores that she denies she has.
