Alone

Chapter: 4

Elena's POV:

There was no sun shining outside. Great, a day to match my mood I thought sarcastically as I woke up. Damon's arm was still around me. Damon was still asleep so, I gently moved his arm from my waist so I could get up. Damon stirred and said, "Morning."

"Good morning," I gave him a weak smile, "I didn't mean to wake you."

"Its okay and Elena, why did you want me to stay last night?"

Why did he have to ask that? I don't know why I asked him to stay last night. "Well, I-I d-didn't want to have another nightmare." He grinned and started to walk out of the room. "Thank you." I called after him.

"Anytime." He winked and walked away.

I got out of bed and walked across the hall to the room I shared with Stefan so I could change my clothes. As soon as I walked in, I felt tears swell in my eyes. I buried my head in my hands and let the tears fall.

Damon's POV:

Last night she was screaming, now she is crying. How can my brother leave her like this?

"Elena, don't cry." I put an arm around her shoulder.

"I'm sorry Damon," she cried into my shoulder, "he left me when I thought he loved me."

I let her cry into my shoulder until she felt better. "I'm going to see Bonnie, maybe she can tell me where Stefan has gone." She chocked out.

"I will go with you." I volunteered.

"Thank you Damon but, she doesn't like you so it's not a good idea."

"Okay, make sure you ask why too."

"What do you mean? I know why he left."

"Think Elena, if he left you because he was worried about our friendship, why would he leave you alone with me."

"Your right, he must have left for another reason."

Elena's POV:

I walked into the closet to change into a pair of jeans and a light blue top. I walked out and Damon was leaning against the door jam with his arms folded across his chest.

Ignoring him I walked over to the dresser, ran a brush through my hair, and let it lay flat against my back. I put the brush back on the dresser and took a last look in the mirror. As I turned around Damon was standing behind me, a little to close for comfort. He leaned in as if he was going to kiss me but instead he whispered in my ear, "Bye," sending shivers down my spine. When I looked up, he was gone.

I grabbed my bag and car keys and went down stairs and sure enough, there was Damon sitting on the couch with a glass of red liquid.

I grabbed my umbrella from behind the door because the clouds were beckoning for it to rain. "Bye." I called back to Damon as I walked out of the door.

I started my car and started to drive to Bonnie's. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at Bonnie's house. I knocked on the door and Bonnie's mom answered it.

"Hi Mrs. Bennett, is Bonnie here?"

"Hello Elena, I'm sorry Bonnie isn't here right now, she is at The Grill."

"Thank you Mrs. Bennett, Good bye."

"Your welcome, good bye Elena."

I walled back to my car, started it, and drove off to The Grill.
