Note: All Damon and Elena scenes (unless indicated so) will be in Damon's Point of View. I want you readers to feel what he is feeling

Elena remained frozen in the place where she was standing, clueless of what to do. Then, without warning, she ran to her bag and pulled out her phone from one of the pockets.

"Damon's okay. Where are you?" She read what she texted and hit send.

Message Delivered, the operator said.

There was no reply, Stefan was quick usually.

"Elena, you need to rest," I looked at her and I saw her almost falling to pieces. "I'm going to have to shower, though I can barely move…" I groaned. The pain stopped, but I felt like I had broken bones.

"Are you sure you can at least stand up?" Elena said worryingly, as she offered me her arm to support me.

I took her arm gently.

"I'll be fine…"

I slowly moved to the bathroom and stepped in the hot water.

When I dressed and went to my room, I found that Elena changed the sheets.

"I thought I told you to rest," I gave her a half smile. "You didn't have to do that."

"It's the least I could do," She smiled, and then she handed me a blood bag.

"You need your strength," She said as I was going to push the bag away, I wasn't thirsty.

I took the bag and drank some of it.

"Aren't you thirsty?"

"I'm okay," she assured me.

It was there that I gasped in horror when I saw her neck, bruised. Vampire bite marks were there, one of them had blood pouring out.

"Oh my God! Didn't Klaus's bite heal?" I said as I threw the blood bag roughly away and tilted her head to a side gently, to examine the bites.

"It did heal…" Elena said, biting her lip and looking down.

I realized.

"Oh my God. I did this, didn't I?" I felt shame; I had never tasted her blood before. I had fed on Elena, had hurt her. "I hurt you."

"It's okay, Damon," She squeezed my hand. "You weren't yourself, you were hallucinating. It isn't your fault."

"Did I drink a lot?" I caressed the spot where I had bit her, hoping that she wasn't in pain.

"No. You stopped, Damon."

"I could've killed you!"

"But you didn't," she took my face in her hands. "You stopped, Damon. You don't have to worry."

"I'm so sorry," I said again as I moved closer to her and took her face in my hands.

I tried to not imagine the scene of me holding Elena tightly and biting her neck against her will.

"Shh, it's okay." She wrapped her arms around me, and I pulled her closer in a tight hug.

We held on to each other for what seemed like forever. I loosened my grip on her and she took a few steps back.

"You have to rest, Damon. Tomorrow we'll have to see what we're going to do."

"Yes. You're right," I admitted.

"I'm not going to leave you alone though for the night," she said. "Do you mind if I stay here?"

"I want you to stay." I didn't want to let her out of my sight, I wanted her safe for the night and I needed her company.

"I want you safe. First of all, Katherine got in, so any vampire can enter. Second, I don't want you to leave."

"And I'm not…if you don't bother my scent on your couch."

"You don't have to sleep on the couch. You had a rough night."

"So did you. More than one night, actually. You should've told me about that. If Stefan didn't tell me… Oh my God, I can't imagine you thinking that I didn't forgive you."

"Did you mean that earlier?" I asked her. "Did you really forgive me, for everything I had done?"

"Of course, Damon."

There was silence for a few seconds, until I cleared my throat.

"You can sleep next to me."

She smiled a half smile. "Okay then… if you want me that much." She chuckled.

I smirked.

She climbed in my bed, and I fixed the blankets.

"Comfortable?"

"Yes, thanks."

"Are you warm? There are more blankets."

"No, it's fine. Thanks. Goodnight, Damon."

She turned to me and closed her eyes.

It wasn't too long before she fell asleep. I couldn't, even though my head was pounding. I looked at Elena again, she was fast asleep. God, even in her sleep, she was still the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Her lips were in a way that gave a hint of a smile, something that I hadn't seen in a very long time.

I lifted my hand and stroked her hair, tugging a loose strand behind her ear.

Then I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
