"You still feel something for me. I know you do." Damon said to Jenna. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before replying.

"What if I don't want to?" She said whilst sipping on a glass of wine. "What if I just want you out of my life?"

Damon stared at her quietly.

"That's impossible. I love you. And you love me. And whilst I know that there is still a slight ounce of a chance for us to be...I won't give up on you." He tried to move in closer but Jenna stood up.

"You kissed Elena. Not once, not twice but it was an ongoing thing. And it was ELENA for God sake's Damon! SHE'S MY FAMILY DAMON!" Tears were prickling behind her eyes. "So please just stop and get out!" This time Damon stood up.

"Jeremy forgave me. Why can't you?"

"I fled town because of you. Fled." Damon didn't know how to reply. So he got up and walked to the door. But before he left, he stopped to say to her;

"I'm sorry. I love you." Jenna didn't even look at the door as it slammed behind him. Tears were now fully flowing down her face. She opened the refrigerator for some ice cream. Ice cream was horrible but there were no milkshakes at home to make her feel better so ice cream had to do it.

"I miss dad." Jeremy said unexpectedly during a silent dinner between him and Jenna. "Mom? MOM?" She looked at him confused.

"Sorry Jer, I was off in dream land. What were you saying?"

"I said that I miss dad." Jenna's fork dropped.

"Oh." Was all she could say. Well, how could she reply to something like that? 'Sorry Jer but your father is a lying douche bag who is never to step into this house ever again' seemed a bit extreme. But on the other hand, that was the reality.

"Mom, he's staying in the motel yah know."

"Oh please, Damon Salvatore isn't poor. He can afford a room at The Grand." Jeremy thought how he could approach his mother about this carefully.

"Mom, The Grand is kinda far away. I think he wanted to be closer to me."

"Well he got his wish." She took a sip of her drink.

"He's so-"

"Jeremy, what is this about?" She cut him off with a stern voice. He stayed silent for a minute, sitting still and staring at his plate.

"He wants to come back home. And I want him to come back too." Jenna took a couple of seconds to understand what her son just said.

"Jeremy it's not that simple."

"Yes it is. Mom this IS his house. He has every right to come back. And...and I want him too. And he'll be here in about 10 minutes. So whatever issues you've got, you should really get over them." He put his and stunned Jenna's dishes in the sink.

"What? Jeremy, how could...How could HE do that? Going behind MY back-"

"YOUR BACK? Mom this isn't just your decision to make. I want him here too. He's my dad, no matter what he's done to you, he'll always be my dad!" Jeremy shouted angrily just as Damon knocked on the door. Jeremy went to open it whilst Jenna put her dish in the sink as well. "Dad! Finally. I thought you'd left town or something." Damon grinned at his son's antics.

"Shows how little you think of me." He went inside, locked the door and whispered to Jeremy. "So, how did Jenna take the news about me moving back in?" Jeremy shrugged.

"It's mom." Jenna came out of the kitchen.

"I haven't had time to deal with it." She glared at the two. "But I'll go and move my stuff out of the bedroom for your highness to move back in." She went up the stairs.

"Jenna, I'll just move into the guest bedroom. After all, that was my bedroom when I lived here as a teenager." She stopped on the stairs and looked over the banister at him.

"Then I'll guess I'll make up the guest bedroom." She climbed up the stairs. Jeremy told Damon to ignore her and dared him to a game on the Xbox 360. Damon of course took up the challenge but his mind kept on wandering to the woman upstairs that was putting fresh sheets on his bed. And then he remembered the last time she and him were on that bed. And then he remembered that a product of that memory was beating his ass on a stupid game.

"Where's Jeremy?" Damon asked one night when he and Jenna were the only ones in the house.

"He's staying over at a friend's." She changed the channel. "Boring. Boring." Damon sat next to her on the couch and she stiffened. "Boring. Everything on TV is so boring. Here." She threw the remote in his lap and got up to the book case. Damon turned on to a random channel not paying much attention to it but more to the back of her silhouette.

"You know, since he's not here maybe we can talk about...us." Jenna rolled her eyes and picked a horror book to read. She sat down on a chair as far away as possible from him.

"There is no us, Damon. I thought that was pretty clear." He sat for a while absently watching the TV before switching it off and walking to her.

"What are you reading?" He asked.

"None of your business." She replied not taking her eyes off the small print. He came around her and leaned over her shoulder to read it as well. Jenna held a breath in as he did that.

"Read it already. The main girl gets killed." Jenna stood up, shut the book and threw it at him.

"What is wrong with you?"

"There is something going on between us and you know it Jenna. Why can't you admit it?"

"BECAUSE YOU CHEATED!" She screamed. "YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH MY NIECE WHO IS NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN YOUR SON! God Damon! It's like you don't even care."

"Well how many FUCKING times can I APOLOGIZE for it Jenna? I've regretted it a billion times because I love you! I FUCKING LOVE YOU! And you love me too! Don't even try to deny it!"

"I'm not denying it! But you cheated Damon! What's to stop you from cheating again? What's to stop you from breaking me apart again?"

"YOU!" Damon screamed violently as he got closer to her. "YOU'RE TO STOP ME! I LOVE YOU!" Jenna gaped at him.

"What if I'm not enough for you Damon?" She asked in a small voice, her eyes tearing up. He looked shocked by her question but he cupped her cheek.

"You are. You will be. Loosing you made me realize that. And I'm so sorry. I just want you to be okay. I want US to be okay." Jenna nodded slowly but she couldn't stop crying. Damon pulled her in and he let her just sob into his chest.

"I can't let you back in. Not yet Damon." She whispered.

"I know." He stroked her hair slowly. "I'll wait."

"Mom? Dad?" Jeremy said quietly as he walked into the house after dark. "Are you guys still up?" He didn't see anyone so he decided to go to his room as quickly and quietly as possible. However he stopped at the guest bedroom where he saw his mother sleeping in his father's arms. He shook his head. "Maybe there's hope for you guys yet." He whispered and was about to close the door when he heard his mother's voice.

"Jeremy. 2 weeks. Grounded. No phones, no laptop, no TV, no games. Night." She snuggled more into Damon's chest whilst Jeremy stood there with his jaw hitting the floor.
