Damon slowly made his way to Elena's room; he entered the room, took the chair beside the bed and took her hand in his.
"God Elena, I'm so sorry I never meant to hurt you, I just wanted to get you away from Stefan" He whispered.

Elena was surrounded by a white, blinding white light. It was all see could see, she wasn't in any pain, she just felt like she was floating. She wasn't sure what was going on, but she felt so peaceful that she wasn't sure she wanted too.
All of a sudden she could hear someone crying. She didn't know who it was, but it was very disturbing, and it sounded familiar. Then it hit her, it was Damon, why was he crying? Was he hurt?
She'd never heard him cry before and she found that she didn't like it. She didn't like the fact that he was hurting that bad that he cried.
He was saying something, but she couldn't make out what it was. So she listened more closely.
"Bonnie says it wasn't my fault, but it was, I never meant for it to happen. I was only trying to save you from Stefan" He whispered.
"Damon, it wasn't you're fault, I know you were only trying to help me. I love you; I'm in love with you. I'd do anything to make you happy." Only realizing while she was saying the words that she meant them.
"When did that happen" She thought, she now knew that while she loved Stefan she wasn't in love with him. Not like she was with Damon.
He continued talking as if he didn't hear her.
"I should have told you this ages ago, in fact I did once but I compelled you to forget. I love you, I was trying to be the better man. I thought you'd be happier with Stefan." He whispered.
"Damon, please don't upset yourself like this, I love you, I'm in love with you" Dammit. It was no use he couldn't hear her. She heard someone call her name, when she turned she saw her parents.
She was torn, she wanted to go with her parents, She'd missed them. But Damon needed her; he loved her and needed her. How could she leave him?
Then suddenly her parents were beside her.
"What's wrong?" Her mother asked.
"Mom, Dad, how I've missed you and I want to come with you" she trailed off.
"But?" her father asked.
Then they could hear the crying and the whispered words.
"Elena, I need you" They could hear Damon whisper.
"But, you love this man? And you don't want to leave him." Her mother acknowledged.
"Yes, I never knew, I've only just realized it and I never knew I could love someone as much as I love him. I'm sorry mother" Elena said with a sad smile.
"Don't be sorry Elena, I know how you feel, I loved your father like that. He's lucky to have you" Her mother said.
"NO, mother I'm the lucky one; he's my rock, my light in the dark, the other half of my soul that I didn't know I was even missing" Elena answered.
DPOV
Jenna and the gang had come back and stayed for an hour or so til the nurse came and kicked them out saying visiting hours were over. But he refused to leave, he would have compelled her to let him stay but luckily he didn't have too. He sat there most of the night talking to her and begging her to wake up and telling her he loved her.
He only left to feed and shower and change clothes. He was just drifting off to sleep when he felt her hand move in his. He sat up.
"Elena, baby can you hear me? Elena?" He whispered.
He pressed the nurse call button and waited for her to open her eyes.
"Elena?" He said again.
Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around the room, her eyes finally found his.
"Where am I? She asked.
"You're in the hospital, you fell and hit your head" He told her.
"I have another question" She said.
"Yes, you can ask me anything" He rushed, so ecstatic that he hadn't lost her, that he could see her deep brown eyes once more.
"Who are you?" She asked.
A/N hehehe. You didn't think I'd make it that easy did you? ...I'm sorry don't hate me.
