Damon let out a breath; it bugged him that he wasn't able to figure out Elena in a heartbeat like he had with other girls. Of course he went after his brothers girlfriend. Of course he fell in love with her, what the hell was he thinking? He slowly started walking away from the door.

Elena picked up her phone after she heard Damon's footsteps walk away from the door. She dialed Stefan's number hoping to talk to him, just hearing his voice would make her feel ten times better.

After what felt like twenty rings she decided to hang up, he was probably busy with finding answers. A few hours passed, Elena sat up, she slowly opened the door, and went into Damon's room.

"Damon?" Elena called out, she needed to clear things up. With one bound he was by her side. He grabbed her hand that was hanging down by her side.

"Elena, I want to apologize for the whole 'kiss' thing, I know your still with Stefan and that's okay, I just want you to know I'll always be there for you" As cliché as that sounded Elena liked it.

"No, Damon don't apologize for anything, I feel as if I am just a repeat of Katherine, I love both Salvatore brothers. I love you, Damon… I just need time to figure this out" Elena explained, Damon's still heart let out a silent beat.

"Forever, I'll wait" Damon said as he squeezed a bit on her hand that was still tangled with his. Elena stood on her tip toes and kissed Damon, a soft gentle kiss, no urgency just passion.

XooX

Stefan checked his phone 1 missed call from: Elena. He chucked his phone on the ground as he turned around to face a half naked Elynor, a girl her met at a bar. He was so sure Damon and Elena would've just carried on as if he wasn't there. Stefan had changed over the past two days, he let more of his vampire side out, he was determined to get both cakes and eat them.

Stefan pulled his shirt back on just as Elynor came out of the hotel washroom. She turned around to turn off the light, Stefan was suddenly behind her, his temptation took over as he plunged his razor sharp teeth into the scarily skinny brunette, he sucked every last drop of blood from her. He slowly ripped her apart scattering her body parts in the lake in a remote place on his way back to Mystic Falls.

As much as he tried he couldn't escape the nagging feeling eating away at him, what was he doing?

Damon listened to her slow calm breathing from his room, Elena lay in Stefan's bed, and she waited for Stefan's return.

Damon was so sure that Stefan was not actually at Duke, but deep inside he felt like he might find out the answer by himself, and if he couldn't and he came back to Mystic Falls Damon would confront him on why he didn't answer any of her calls, why he never called to say how things were going, as Damon put the pieces together he realized that Stefan wasn't really finding out whether werewolf bites are fatal to humans, when Stefan came back, if he did Damon would interrogate him and get the real answer for Elena's conscience. He sat up, suddenly hearing a light noise coming from the hall of the boarding house.

With vampire speed he pinned the assailant against the wall not bothering to look at who it was.

"Damon? What the hell?" Elena said gasping for air.

"Elena? I thought you were sleeping" Damon said suddenly apologetic.

"No, I went to get my phone, to check if I had any calls" Elena said, Damon knew the real reason, to see if Stefan had called.

"Why is it all about Stefan? Stefan This. Stefan That." Damon said suddenly angry, it was all about his brother. Never anything for him, it was bad enough that he loved his brothers girlfriend but having her be completely cold towards him and not caring about his feelings towards her, if this were any other girl he would slept with her a long time ago, but Elena was different, no matter how hard he tried. Whenever he would try and make a move she would shut him down with something about Stefan, she would never know how much hearing Stefan's name after the words "I love you" when would she get that Damon could give her so much more than the vegetarian brooding brother, if he was vegetarian after all.

"Damon, I care about Stefan, nothing you can do will change that, but lying isn't something I want to do to you, I care about you too, more than I probably should, every time I look at you I can't help but think I dated the wrong Salvatore, I can't help but feel some kind of doubt in my feelings toward Stefan when I'm with you" Elena said, staring at the ground unable to look at Damon, she finally looked up to see his face had completely hardened and was showing no emotion, finally it softened.

"Elena, I have always cared for you, at first I thought you were just like Katherine, in some ways you are, like choosing my brother before me, no matter what I'll always be second. I'm tired of being second Elena." Damon said, suddenly angry and frustrated.

"But Damon, I really like you… I'm sorry I have been so cold towards you… I just, don't want to admit to myself that I…I like you" Elena said. Damon was fuming.

"You know what Elena, there are plenty of girls out there who would gladly put me first. No questions asked, Elena, I always put you first." Damon said, he walked towards Elena, Elena and his faces were inches apart. Elena leaned in, "But now, it's my turn to find someone to do that for me." Damon said, he turned around and walked away from Elena, his footsteps traveled past the foyer. Elena heard the front door slam; she walked towards the couch, sat down and stared at the burning flame in the fireplace.

Why had things gotten that far with Damon? Was Damon serious about not caring anymore?"

Hey guys!

Please review, I hated writing the Damon and Elena fight… it tore my heart out.

I was wondering about doing a Damon POV on the situation with Elena…

Say your thoughts… good and bad.

Xoxo My Neonites,

Don't let the lights get to bright… lol
