A/N: okay, whatever you do, please don't kill me, i will give you the reason i haven't updated in so long... it was a mixture of pre-exam stress, lack of vampire diaries for inspiration and writers block, but I finally have it sorted and can crack on again... YAAAAY!

Here's Chapter 4, Sorry it's so short...

Chapter 4: I'm Only Human

Damon POV:

"I have something to say..."

I could hear Jeremy's heartbeat increase, which made me smirk inwardly, he was blushing slightly, the rose tint of his cheeks brightening up his face a little, I saw him part his lips, ready to say something, but something inside me burst out and I couldn't stop myself from saying desperately...

"I LOVE YOU..."

Jeremy POV

"I LOVE YOU..."

'Did I actually just hear that come from Damon's lips' I thought as my eyes widened in what I believed to be a mixture of Fear, Hope, Nerves and Need.

"W...w...what?"

"I love you, Jeremy" Damon said, slower this time, with a look of complete sincerity and shyness, which I have never seen either looks from Damon before.

"Just checkin'..."

"Well...?"

"Look, I'm really messed up at the moment... no one would want a relationship with me, so if this is just your idea of a joke Damon, then screw you!"

Damon actually looked hurt by this, but I kept my mask up, his deep eyes nort affecting me, I knew that look he was giving me was gonna wear my shield down after a while and I wouldn't be able to take that, so I decided to put it bluntly.

"Like I said, I'm a mess, I'm on drugs, I have a drink problem, I have no parents, I'm basically off the rails, so I wouldn't appreciate a joke like this..."

"Jeremy, I'm serious... What I feel for you is serious, I wanna help you back on the rails, I want to be that person who would do anything for you!"

"I'll call you, OK? I need to think this over, I need to know for sure that you're not lying to me..."

"I promise you, Jeremy!"

"I believe you"

And with that I got up from the bench and did something I never thought I would do, I took a step towards Damon and wrapped my arms around his waist and said...

"Tell me this is what you want..."

Damon responded by placing his hands on my biceps and pulling me in.

"Does this answer your question?"

And he kissed me...
