Hey guys! Another chapter. :):) I tried to put a few of your suggestions in there too. Sorry about the wait, I hope you all like it! Don't forget to review. :):)

Damon lay in his bed with his eyes closed, the bite marks were healing, but the Alcovine in his system hadn't worn off yet, and his body was still weak. He sighed deeply, but remained still. The moment he could move again, he was going for a long walk. It has been too long since he last went for a walk. Too long since he was able to stand at all. He opened his eyes to the sound of someone coming towards him.

Stefen smiled as he approached his brother. 'How you feeling?' He asked carefully.

'Wish this crap would leave my system already.' Damon answered.

'Salette said it would take a few weeks for it to fully wear off, then you can properly heal.' Stefan sat down beside him and touched his arm. Damon flinched away suddenly. 'Sorry…' Stefan moved his hand away.

'No…' Damn cleared his throat. 'It's okay, I'm just…' He hesitated, not sure how to word what he wanted to say.

'It's alright Damon, I understand.' Stefan insisted.

'I keep thinking back, and I can't get it out of my mind. The things they did…' He looked away from Stefan, not wanting to look at him as he spoke. 'I keep feeling it and it hurt every time…'

Stefan watched his once strong and independent brother break down into something he had never seen from him before. A year ago Damon would never have opened up like this to him, but he was glad he could have something like this with him again, it had been far too long since he could be there for his brother. 'I'm always here for you Damon.' Stefan spoke. 'Any time of the day or night, you don't have to feel like there's no one who will listen or there's no one who cares because I do.'

'Yeah, yeah Dr Phil. I got ya.' Damon answered sarcastically with a half-smile.

'I'm serious.' Stefan answered, lightly chuckling. 'Any time. Day or night.'

'Thanks.' Damon answered seriously. 'You're a good brother.' He twitched to his side a bit, showing signs of pain which made Stefan frown.

'I'll go get you some food, it'll help.' He stood up and turned to leave but Damon grabbed him lightly by the arm. 'You okay?'

'You really are a good brother you know, you've had to put up with a lot from me and I just wanted you to know…'

'Thanks Damon, I'm just glad we're talking again.' He smiled and headed for the door. Salette met him there.

'How is he?' She asked quietly.

'He's good, I think.' Stefan answered. 'I'm gonna get him some blood, go talk to him.' He smiled, and continued out of the room.

'Knock, knock' Salette smiled at Damon.

'Why, hello there. Damon answered.

Salette moved towards him, sitting by his side she grinned at him. 'You look a lot better.'

'I feel better, unfortunately not enough to walk or do anything.' He sighed.

'It'll happen in time, you gotta be patient.'

'I'm just glad I can actually rest. I don't have to worry about how I'll be woken up for once.'

'You can sleep easy, Stefan and I are always around. You're not alone in this house.'

'I can't wait to get out of this bed. I wanna go out, have fun and try and be normal again. Well, as normal as a vampire can be.' His voice was sarcastic again.

'I'd never consider you normal Damon, in the nicest possible way.'

'I missed our phone calls.'

'I missed your voice.'

'I think I just missed you in general.' He smirked.

Salette chucked but her smile faded.

'What's wrong?'

'I should have known something was wrong the moment you didn't pick up your phone.'

'Don't do that Salette.'

'I did know. I knew it wasn't like you to miss a call and not call back. I should have acted quicker but I didn't because I didn't want to admit you were in trouble. I should have come sooner.'

'It doesn't matter anymore, because you're here now and so am I. If it weren't for you, that scenario could have gone a completely different way and I might not be here right now.' He sighed. 'I missed you, but I thought about you all the time. I always knew you would come, I never doubted that.'

Salette put her hand on Damon's hand softly. He didn't flinch, but he tensed slightly.

'I'd never hurt you Damon.' She smiled at him weakly.

'I know…' He answered.
