Chapter Seven: Parts Of The Truth
"So are you ready to meet everyone?" Damon smiles as he opens the door for me letting me out of the car and we walk up to the Salvatore boarding house.
"I guess so, as long as I have you by my side." I say as he puts an arm around me leading me inside and I gasp, his mother really went all out for a welcome back party. The whole house is decorated beautifully and there's a lot of people here judging by the all cars outside.
"Welcome back, Elena." They all yell happily.
I hug all of them, they had all been there to see how I was doing when I was in a coma and I have the familiar and trusting feeling about all of them except one, Katherine. When I hugged her I felt cold, empty, unsafe and I have a feeling that I never liked her, I remember her from a flash back.
She was the girl who was kissing Damon on the porch the day we confessed our feelings for each other and now she's Stefan's girlfriend? Something is wrong about her, the smile she sends me is fake and I know by the way she looks at me that she hates me, but she hides it well.
Caroline snaps me out of my thoughts. "Elena, I want to introduce you to my boyfriend Klaus, I met him after your accident." She says happily.
"Hi Elena, nice to see you." Klaus says politely.
"Nice to meet you too." I smile.
"Elena?" I hear Damon's mom Rosalyn say and I turn around.
"Rosalyn." I smile.
"You remember me?" She asks happily.
"Yes, I got most of my memory back till I was around 20 so I remember almost everyone here." I say hugging her, she has always been like a second mom to me.
"That's amazing." She says with a big smile, but it fades a little bit. "Damon told me that you know about little Hope, how are you doing?" She says compassionately.
"I still don't know how to deal with it and I wouldn't be able to stand here if it wasn't for Damon, he's always here for me." I say fighting the tears.
"You poor thing, I'm so glad and proud that Damon always stayed by your side." She hugs me.
"I know how much he loves me and that I love him with all of my heart." I smile weakly.
"Yeah, he always loved you and he never stopped loving you." She smiles.
"I know, thank you so much for throwing this party." I say happily.
"Of course, anything for you sweetie." She says before we all sit down and eat, I spend the rest of the day talking and laughing with all of these people who are my family. After a whole day of being with all of them I suddenly feel more happy, everyone left except Rosalyn, Giuseppe, Caroline, Damon and I.
"Caroline and I talked during the party and there's something we agreed to tell you, it's better for you to hear it the right way then remember how you heard it the first time." Damon says softly and I get nervous.
"What?" I panic.
"Just come with us into the study." Caroline says and I just follow, we get inside and Damon closes the door. "Elena, as you know Damon and I never got along, you also know that I tried to break you up, but you should know why." She says softly.
"Please, just tell me I'm getting all nervous." I panic again and Damon gives my knee a tight squeeze.
"I was in love with Damon as well when we were kids and when I was 14 I made a move on him at a party you skipped and you remember how he was like back then. He told me that he didn't want a relationship just sex, he made it perfectly clear, but I was certain that I could make him change his mind." She says quietly.
"So you slept with him, he was your first, the one you used to call an asshole who used you for sex." I finish for her and she nods.
"She did and we kept it up for a month keeping it a secret because I didn't want a relationship, after a month Caroline wanted to go public and also tell you, so I ended it." He says shameful.
"And I hated him ever since, I even tried to change his mind, but we were never together again and I tried to break you up because I was jealous." She confesses.
"It was a year or so before we confessed our feelings for each other, but I feel like a gigantic asshole for using Caroline, but also because I kept it from you." He says shameful and I just stare at them not knowing what to say when I remember the fight before the accident.
I'm 24 years old and I'm 8 months pregnant, Damon is out with his best friend Ric, Ric is also my old history teacher and Jenna husband. Caroline just called me completely out of it coming clean about her relationship with Damon when she was 14 that he was the asshole she used to talk about the one who used her for sex..
She was angry and hurt, she thought he used her and that was who he was before we started dating so I promised her to drive to her now and talk. I feel betrayed, jealous and hurt that they never told me. I'm about to leave the house when a drunk Damon comes in through the door.
"Elena? Where are you going?" He asks concerned.
"To Care." I say coldly.
"She told you didn't she?" He asks angrily.
"Of course she did, why did you have to use her like you did with all of the other girls? She's my friend! Now I understand why she always hated you." I yell.
"I told her that I only wanted sex and never promised her a relationship, that I would only agree if she understood that! And she assured me that she understood." He yells back.
"You should have turned her down, Damon! If you really loved me, then why would you sleep with my best friend? Don't you see that's betrayal." I say angrily.
"She offered, Elena! I ended it as soon as I found out she thought that it could turn into a relationship." He yells.
"It's just not okay, Damon!" I yell heatedly.
"Don't you see that she's trying to break us up? She's bad news, Elena!" He yells in frustration.
"Don't! I don't want to hear it, don't you dare turning me against her! Now move out of the way and let me go!" I scream.
"No! Don't just leave me like this!" He yells.
"Oh I'm leaving and if I were you I wouldn't count on that I'm ever coming back." I scream louder.
"Fine! Leave! What do I care!" He yells storming into another room and I hurry out of the door not wanting to look at him, I get in the car and speed off and I drive over Wickery Bridge. I stop my car just after the bridge and I know that I have to go back, I love Damon and I made him think that I'm leaving him. I turn around to drive back home, I just need to make this right with him and then we can all talk about this tomorrow.
I return from my flash back remembering how angry, sad and hurt I was and I see them starring at me when I realize that I've properly been quiet for a long time. "I remember the fight before the accident." I say to explain why I've been quiet.
"Oh." The both say looking down.
"Care, if you hated Damon so much why don't you now?" I ask confused.
"I knew from when you were 16 that you two loved each other and I was certain that he would leave you or just ruin you, but after seeing him sitting by your side, talking to you, begging you to come back, never leaving you I realized that maybe he did change." She explains.
"Okay, but why didn't you tell me before?" I ask hurt looking at Damon.
"I didn't want you to know that I did something so stupid." He says looking down.
"And I was too jealous to think about you." She says also looking down.
"I guess I understand, but Care? I'm sorry that I took the guy you loved." I say feeling guilty as hell.
"No! Don't feel guilty, I knew that he didn't love me and he has always wanted you, so I'm sorry for sleeping with him." She says hugging me and I hug her back.
"And I'm sorry I used you Caroline, I never told you that, but you didn't deserve what I did to you, it was wrong of me." Damon says guiltily.
"I never thought I would hear you say that." She giggles.
"But I should have." He says sadly.
"It's okay, Damon. I forgive you I'm over it now." She smiles.
"I'm happy you told me, but I think it's time that we all just move on from this." I cut in.
"I agree." He says taking my hand.
"I do too." She says taking my other hand, then they both do something unexpected and hug me at the same time. They really got closer from this and I think they needed me to know about it because they both clearly felt guilty and needed to talk it over.
Damon and I say goodbye to Caroline and Damon's parents before we drive home, we get inside and I realize that Damon still doesn't say a word. "Damon? Are you okay?" I ask worriedly.
"I was just so scared you would leave me once you knew, I mean that's what you said." He says clearly still scared to lose me.
"Now that I finally remember that I can tell you that I still love you and I loved you back then too, I was just so hurt and jealous that I couldn't deal with it. I would have come back once I had the time to calm down because in my flash back I also remember that I felt so bad that I turned around to drive back home to you." I say passionately.
"You turned around?" He asks surprised.
"Yes, I knew that I love you and that I needed to make it right with you, I couldn't let you think that I would ever leave you." I confess.
"Then it was my fault, you would have made it to Caroline's safely if you hadn't turned around for me." He says guiltily.
"Hey! Look at me." I say placing my hands on his cheeks making him look up at me before I kiss him passionately. "You don't know that Damon and then it's my fault too because I said something that I needed to make right, even if I hadn't turned around I could still have been hit by the truck." I say refusing to let him put the blame on himself again.
"Maybe you're right." He gives in.
"Now if there's anything else you haven't told me that I need to know then now would the time to just say it." I decide to say because I want us to be honest with each other since a lie helped us get here.
"In that case I need to tell you something." He says painfully.
"What's wrong, Damon?" I almost panic from the look on his face almost regretting that I said that.
"I did something terrible and I understand if you can't forgive me once I tell you, but you deserve to know." He says with pain shining through his eyes.
"Please, don't make me nervous like this again, just tell me." I say frighten.
"I killed the truck driver and I should have told you that it was me when I told you about him." He confesses and I stare at him.
"What? When?" I ask in shock not really understanding anything right now.
"The doctors came to the waiting room to tell me that Hope passed away during a surgery and I was consumed with pain, but when I saw my daughter lying there completely pale something in me snapped. I knew who did it and I needed to make him pay, so I went to the prison I knew he was in and I dressed as a prisoner once I got inside. I only wanted to confront him, but when I did I learned that he drank so much that he didn't know anything. He didn't even remember what he did and his excuse was that he was drinking with a hot girl, he said he didn't regret it so I snapped and I stabbed him with the knife he had in his hand after I knocked him out. I got out of there before anyone knew who I was and they assumed it was suicide because no one saw me." He confesses painfully.
"Damon-." I say, but he cuts me off.
"I understand if you could never forgive me and you shouldn't because I don't regret it, he deserved what he got." He says and I feel the anger he has towards that driver. I rest my hands on his cheeks making him look into my eyes again.
"Damon, there's nothing to forgive you're forgetting that you had to stop me or I would have done the same if you hadn't! He took our daughter from us, he deserved what he got and he was the one who had the knife, you were defending yourself. I don't care if you don't regret it because I understand perfectly why you did what you did." I say before I kiss him.
"How can you just forgive me for killing someone?" He asks shocked.
"Because he wasn't innocent he killed our daughter." I say looking into his eyes. "Does anyone know?" I ask afraid that I could lose him if anyone ever found out.
"No, just you." He says softly.
"Good because I'm not letting anyone take you away from me, I love you." I say kissing him again, I know that what he did might be wrong, but he didn't go there to kill him and he didn't have the knife. I always knew that Damon would protect me and when I got pregnant I know that he would protect the baby as well just like he did, how could I ever punish or blame him for that?
"I promise you that now you know everything." He says resting his forehead against mine.
"Damon, when I met Katherine today I remembered her as the girl you were kissing before we confessed our feelings for each other." I say quietly.
"I did sleep with her once, but I broke it off right after and a year later she started to date Stefan." He explains.
"I don't know if it's me, but when I hugged her I felt cold, empty, unsafe, like I never liked her." I confess.
"You were never close, but she has been Stefan's girlfriend for 9 years, so I don't think you should worry." He assures me.
"You're right, I'm properly just jealous because I don't want to share you with anyone." I say softly.
"Trust me, you put all girls to shame in my head, I'm yours and I only want you." He says caressing my cheek.
"Good because you got me." I say passionately before I kiss him softly letting all the love and passion I have for him out through the kiss.
"I love you, Elena." He says before kisses me again.
"I love you too." I say without any hesitation, it's weird, but what he just told me made me love him even more. I kiss him again his response is immediate, he kisses me sweet and tender as he pulls my body closer to his, I pull away for a second. "Don't ever let me go." I whisper looking into him eyes.
"Never, you're a part of my soul." He says caressing my cheek.
"I don't think you know how much I love you." I say softly. "I want to show you something." I say pulling him with me to our bedroom where I've hiding my diary. I've always writing about Damon because the time I spent with him has always been something I wanted to remember.
Damon's P.O.V
Elena and I went to our bedroom where she let's go of my hand and walks over to the dresser where digs up a book, I've never seen that book before. I wonder what she's doing when she walks back over to me with a smile on her face.
"I know that you've been afraid that I would leave you countless times, but in this diary I always wrote my feeling for you down, I started when I was ten. I wrote all the fun stuff like breaking the rules in it because we would both be grounded if I told my parents or anyone else if there was a chance it would get back to my parents. It stuck with me to write and when I finally admitted that I was in love with you I kept it in here and now I'm giving it to you so you can see for yourself." She says softly handing me the book and I take it.
"Are you sure you want me to read this?" I ask carefully.
"Yes, I need you to know to believe that I'm right here and I'm never leaving you." She says passionately melting my heart.
"I do believe you." I assure her.
"I know you do, but I want you to see it, if you want to." She says softly.
"I do want to see it." I confess.
"I'll let you read then, I'll be in the study." She kisses me before walking out of the room and I lie down on the bed before I open the diary.
June 2, 1999.
Dear Diary.
I'm finally 10 years old then maybe Damon will stop teasing me, he always says I'm little because I wasn't 10 years old, but now I am. Just because he's 13 years old he feels like he has to tease because he's older, but I find a way to tease him one day.
I was right he stopped teasing me about not being 10, but now he's teasing me because he's a teenager and I'm not, but I found a way to tease back. I just refused to hug him and he didn't seem to like that one bit so I won anyway.
Summer started a few days ago and I can't wait to spend the whole summer with Damon, sure I love my other friends, but I prefer to be with Damon every day. We fight and tease all the time, but I don't want to know a day where I don't see or talk to him.
My parents is doing some work on the roof and that means they left the ladder where Damon and I can get to it. I always wanted to see the roof and Damon promised to show me today when my parents are distracted because we aren't allowed to go up there.
It was amazing up there, but our parents freaked out and grounded us for a week where we wouldn't be allowed to see each other. A week is too long, I need to find a way to at least talk to him otherwise I'll crazy.
June 3, 1999.
Dear Diary.
Damon came by yesterday after we got grounded asking me to run away with him to our lair in the woods so of course I agreed. We had the best time ever and he promised to teach me how to dance, he really is the best friend ever, but I hugged him! Damn it! I was supposed to win, but I can't not hug him for very long, it's his fault for being too sweet!
Of course this morning we got caught, our parents figured out that since we were both missing there would only be one place we could have gone, but the dropped the grounding thing because they knew we would stop at nothing to stay together.
August 15, 1999.
Dear Diary.
Damon and I went to a summer camp together, we got to sleep in the same tent and we always talked all night. We spend the summer swimming and sitting by the fire, we had so much fun like always and we got to spend the whole summer together.
All of this made me realize something, I got some girl friends at the camp and they all had a crush on Damon and it made me jealous. Why? Why did I get jealous? Why did I cut them off trying my best to keep them away from him? The answer? Because I'm in love with my best friend.
What am I supposed to do about it? If I say something and he doesn't feel the same way I could ruin our friendship and I can't risk that! I rather be friends with him than losing him because I can't bear the thought of that.. I love him, I always have even though I'm only 10 I know I do, my heart speed up every time I see him and I love when we're close because he makes me feel loved and safe.
May 8, 2001
Dear Diary.
There was an awful rumor at school today about Damon sleeping with Zoë from my class, she claims that she's in a relationship with him, but she got to be lying.
I was going to confront Damon, but I overheard him talking to Stefan and it turns out that he did sleep with Zoë, but that he has no intention of seeing her again. It really hurt to hear, but I'm still his friend and maybe one day he'll see that we belong together.
July 15, 2004
Dear Diary.
I went to a party with Damon, Caroline, Bonnie and Stefan. I was standing there alone looking at the bonfire wondering how to confess my feelings for Damon when Mason Lockwood started to flirt with me and Damon came over telling him to leave and I'm relieved.
Does this mean that he likes me? Or am I just as a sister to him? He seemed to be more than just protective, but how do I tell? I just know how much I wanted to kiss him when he looked at me, it's becoming harder and harder not to kiss him every time I see him.
September 1, 2004
Dear Diary.
My dream came true today, Damon confessed that he have feelings for me too and he asked me on a date this Friday. I never kissed anyone, but Damon. The kiss we shared made me feel like there was fireworks in my stomach, I felt and still feel like this couldn't get more perfect.
Having to keep these feelings hidden was really hard and now when I don't have to I don't know how to control it, I love him so much and I just want to be with him all the time and forever. Some people might think that I would be embarrassed to be seem with him because he have been with a lot of girls, but I don't care.
I don't care who sees us, what they think, but I do love the idea of sneaking around for a while, there's something hot about it. I still don't know how to keep my hands off of him in public because I want him so badly and I know there's no way of stopping it, trust me I never want to stop it.
I close the book I've been looking through the book and I'm shocked, I never knew that she loves me and loved me the way I love her. I should never have doubted her feelings for me because this book proves just how much she loves me.
I leave the book on my nightstand because I definitely read the rest and re-read it because I never get tired of reading it, but right now I need to be with Elena. I rush into the study and I see her sitting there reading and I just know that this beauty loves me too.
I walk over to her before I slowly close the book she's reading and she just looks up at me looking adorable and I refuse to resist her. I kiss her passionately and she responds immediately, she gets up from the chair never breaking the kiss as she wraps her hands around my neck.
"I was stupid for ever doubting your feelings for me and even more stupid for not realizing that you felt the same way." I say softly.
"Now you know, I've always loved you and nothing will ever make me stop." She says lovingly and I find myself really believing her deep down where I usually doubted it.
"I believe you and did I ever tell you that you're a good writer." I smirk at her, I know that's all she ever wanted to do.
"Only a few times." She teases and I bring her lips to mine in a loving gentle kiss while I pull her body closer to mine.
