You Found Me
I found God... on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West... was all but won
All alone... smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where've you been?"... He said, "Ask anything".
"Damon?" She gasped, cowering against the bloodstained wall.
His face twisted in pain as he took in her appearance.
"Oh god Elena."
He rushed to her, his hands hovering around her, trying to figure out where her injuries are, what he could do, how he could help her.
"Damon?" She asked again, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.
"I'm here, angel, I'm here." He whispered, brushing her hair out of her face. "You're going to be ok."
She reached a shaking hand towards him and clutched weakly at his jacket.
"Where have you been?" Her voice was weak and tired but her tearful doe eyes bored into him.
Where were you... when everything was falling apart.
All my days... were spent by the telephone
It never rang... and all I needed was a call
That never came... to the corner of 1st and Amistad
"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry." He muttered, still checking her for the source of all the blood.
He could tell that not all of it was hers, thank god. There was no way she could have survived that kind of blood loss.
He couldn't lose her. He wouldn't be able to survive that. She was his redemption, the only one who had ever fought for him. She was his angel.
But in the end... everyone ends up alone
Losing her... the only one who's ever known
Who I am... who I'm not and who I wanna place
No way to know... how long she will be next to me
He brushed his hands lightly across her body, feeling for broken bones, bruises, making a mental note of everywhere she was injured.
Her head was bleeding; it looked like she had been thrown into something. Damon clenched his teeth and extended his senses, but he couldn't pick up another presence. They were alone.
Lost and insecure... you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor... surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?... Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late... you found me, you found me.
Elena was fading, her eyes were half closed and her grip on his jacket had fallen slack.
He bit into his wrist and held it to her mouth.
She tried to turn away.
"You need to. Please Elena." He begged; listening as her heartbeat got fainter and fainter. "Please!"
Too tired to argue with him, she parted her lips and allowed the coppery liquid to trickle down her throat.
"Damon." She whispered.
Her eyes closed and her body collapsed against him.
He scooped her limp form into his arms and cradled her against him.
He needed to find out what had happened, and kill whoever was responsible, but first he had to get Elena out of there.
Lost and insecure... you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor... surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?... Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late... you found me, you found me...
Where was he? Why didn't he answer when she called? Why did he leave?
As Elena ran through the dark building, her heart pounding in her chest, he was all she could think about.
If Damon was here, this would never have happened. If Damon was here. But he wasn't. She didn't know where he was. Maybe she never would.
The early morning... the city breaks
And I've been calling... for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve... taking all I want
She needed him, he was the one person who could make everything better. He was the one person who could fix all of this. But he was gone.
Her assailant rounded the corner and smiled at her, finding pleasure in the way she cowered away from him.
Damon, Damon, Damon, Damon. Where are you?
Lost and insecure... you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor... Where were you? Where were you?
Damon was there. He held her, stroked her hair, whispered words of comfort.
She clung to him, never wanting to let go.
"Where were you?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm not going again."
She wrapped her arms around his chest; he lay down next to her.
"You can't just leave me Damon." She cried. "I need you."
Lost and insecure... you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor... surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?... Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late... you found me, you found me!
He kissed her tearstained cheek.
"I will never leave you again. I promise."
She relaxed into his embrace.
"You found me." She whispered.
"Always." He replied softly.
Why'd you have to wait... to find me, to find me?
The End.
