NPOV

Elena woke up felling excited because she was finally going home after 2 weeks of staying in the hospital. She pushed herself into a sitting position. Suddenly Caroline burst through the room door squealing. "Elena! Good Morning! Are you ready to go home?" Caroline ran up to her best friend and gave her a warm hug. Laughing, Elena grabbed her crutches and stood up. "Of course I'm ready. I packed up everything last night, so all we have to do is sign the papers and we can leave" Elena informed her.

"Oh that's great! Guess who's driving us home?" she started giggling like a school girl.

"Uh-Oh! Please don't tell me it's Damon." Elena was trying her best to avoid Damon. It seems like he was doing his job, avoiding Elena, as well. Just because Elena gave her love life a chance again, she ended up getting hurt, physically. "No. Why would it be him? Remember I don't like him either. So yeah, it's my new boyfriend, Stefan!"

"Oh my god! Congrats on your relationship. I'm so happy for you!" Elena went over to her best friend and gave her a big hug. Then the room door opened again. Both girls looked back and their smiles dropped.

"Hey."

"What do you want Damon. Didn't you cause enough damage to Elena?" Caroline said coldly, stepping in front of Elena.

"Caroline, it's ok" Elena put her hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"Um…Elena can I told to you privately?" Damon asked nervously. Caroline looked over her shoulder mouthing "no". While shaking her head. Elena gave her an apologetic look.

"Sure."

Caroline's aw fell open. Then without a word she's walked out of the room.

"So what do you need to talk about?" Elena broke the awkward silence. Damon looked down to his feet. "Uh…how are you feeling?" he didn't know what to say to her honestly. He just wanted to see Elena. "I'm fine. How are you and Katherine?" she didn't mean to say it bitterly but it sounded like it. "We're kind of on a ruff path right now." Damon didn't like mentioning or talking about Katherine because he doesn't want people to think he still has feelings for her.

Elena walked over to her bed and sat on the side of it. "Damon, I know you need to say something, so just spit it out." Damon grabbed a chair. Pulled it in front of her and sat down.

"I don't think Katherine and I are working out. She's too self centered. I've never seen her like this. Not before I got together with her. So I'm thinking of ending it." he explained. All of a sudden, Elena felt angry. She wasn't angry because he was ending things with Katherine. It was the fact that he disappears for two weeks then pops out of nowhere talking to her about him and Katherine not doing too well.

"Damon I can't deal with your love life problem right now so please get out." she said as nicely as possible.

"But-"

"Get out." she bit out.

"Elena I'm not-"

"I said GET OUT!" she screamed. Without saying another word Damon got up and left the room. "So how was your talk?" Caroline laughed at him. "I messed up so badly." Damon stated.

"I know I heard her yell at you. Look, I know you care about her. I think. But you're only causing her more pain. So I would just leave her alone. If you can't do that, then at least give her some time." she said in a more serious tone. She walked passed him and went inside the room Elena was in.


DPOV

I walked down the hospital hall, towards the parking lot. I can't believe I messed things up again. All I wanted to do was apologize to Elena. That way we can be friends at least. The ringing of my cell snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Damon, babe, can you come home already? I'm bored! There's nothing to do at your house." said Katherine on the other side of the phone.

"Uh…how did you get into my house?" this woman is crazy.

"Oh…you left your keys on your desk while you were in a meeting yesterday. So I took them and made a copy so I won't have to ask you for you house keys." she said cheerfully. I get into my car and started the engine.

"Ok Katherine I'm coming home right now." I hung up. I can't believe she did that! I'm going to change my lock as soon as possible. I arrive at my house, walked to the front door.

Once I got into my house, my phone rang again. "Hello?"

"Damon! Why aren't you at Elena's house?" of course it's Stefan.

"Um…because she doesn't want to see me?" I placed my keys onto the table and walked up the stairs.

"What? Why? How do you know?" he questioned.

"Because I went to the hospital earlier and pissed her off by accident."

"And how did you managed that?" I could hear the disappointment in his voice. I was disappointed in myself as well.

"I was talking to her about Katherine and I not working out. I guess she doesn't know I'm not only breaking up with Katherine because of her attitude, but also because of her." all of a sudden Katherine jumped on my back. The sudden movement caused my to lose balance and fall back. "OW! Damon!" Katherine pushed my off of her.

"Damon? Damon? Are you there? Damon?" I walked to the phone and picked it off the ground.

"Hey. I'll call you back" I hung up, not waiting for his response.

"Damon! That really hurt!" Katherine yelled as she got up. I walked over to her only to get slapped in the face. "What's wrong with you!" it was my turn to yet today. "ME? You're the one fell onto me! How's it my fault?" Katherine was being ridiculous again. "Well if you didn't decide to make a stupid move and jump on me, I wouldn't of lost my balance and fall on you!" she huffed and turned around. "I'm going home. When you decide to ask for my apology, you know where to find me." the slammed the door shut on her way out.

The woman is seriously crazy. I don't even know what I saw in her. I pulled out my phone and called Stefan.

"Hey Damon. So what was the reason for you to hang up on me like that?"

"I swear to god Katherine is driving me crazy. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to end things with her right now. There was no actual feelings in this relationship, to me anyways. Oh and she blames me for falling onto her when she was the one who jumps on my back. I didn't even know she was behind me. Now she expects me to go to her house and apologize to her." I explained.

"Oh wow! That woman is…uh…I have nothing to say to that because crazy is and understatement. Hey! That mean's your free for Elena! That's great!" I can tell Stefan was feeling happy right now.

"But what if she won't accept me. I did hurt her a lot Stefan." I wasn't feeling that happy.

"Just give her some time." now where did I hear that one before, oh right from Caroline, Stefan's girlfriend.

"Ok. What do you suggest me to do?" I asked. I never thought I would ask my baby bro for advice but here I am, asking him for his advice. I silently laughed at myself.

"Well for one, you have to end this with Katherine. Once you're done with that, call me back. I have a plan up my sleeve." this time it was his turn to hang up with me.

This time. I'm going to do things right. I grabbed my keys and headed for Katherine's house. I knocked on her door three times. Two seconds later, the door opens. She was dressed in a black tight dress that went up to mid thigh. "Came to apologize?" she smiled seductively. A smile that can lure any man to her, but me. "Look, Katherine, we need to talk." she grabbed my hand and pulled me in. I tired to pull away but she didn't let go. "What ever it is we can talk in my room." time for me to end this. "No more Katherine. I can't take it anymore. Through out this whole relationship, you've changed. You're not the nice, hard working person I knew. So I'm sorry, but we're over." I said as nicely as possible.

"What! You're not serious right Damon? Are you? It's not because of me it's because of her, Elena, isn't it? I can tell she was mad but I didn't really care because she thinks she doesn't have any problems. "No, it's not because of her." I half lied.

"Yes it is! Don't lie to my Damon Salvatore. You'll regret this decision. Mark my words." she pushed me out of her house and slammed the door in my face. I was worried for Elena. What id she went after her, like how some one went after Elena last time? I tried to chase those thoughts away.

I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Stefan. 'Finally got rid of her'

'Good. Now come over to Elena's house. We're celebrating.'

I decided for a moment. 'Nah. She doesn't want me around. I don't want to upset her any further. I'll ruin her day just by being there.'
