4 hours later

Me,Katherine and Jenna were getting ready for the Party. Hopefully Katherine will meet someone special tonight because she's the only one that's going to the party alone. I'm going with Damon and Jenna's going with Alaric Saltzman. Bonnie's going with Jeremy and Caroline's going with Tyler. Katherine wore this cute pink dress with a bow tie. Jenna wore something similar except it was baby blue and it didn't have a bow tie. It was elegant and it was appropriate. I curled my hair and wore blue flats that matched with my dress. If I wasn't pregnant then I would probably wore high heels but I don't want to risk hurting the baby. I looked towards the clock. It was only 5:43. I walked downstairs and already saw Katherine and Jenna waiting for me.

"You guys ready?" Jenna asked. Me and Katherine nodded.

"Moommmmy, why am I so single and lonely." Katherine whined. I was holding back a laugh.

"Katherine, baby, you'll find the perfect guy when it's time." Jenna said giving her daughter a smile. Katherine started grumbling something under her about how she's going to grow old if she waits anytime longer.

"Elena, do you need me and Alaric to drop you off?" Jenna asked.

"No, Damon's taking me." I said. I blushed thinking about him.

"Oh about him...Is he treating you right?" Jenna asked.

"His actually being really nice and gentle towards me. And I think I may like him.." I said averting my gaze. From behind me I heard coughing and sputtering.

"He did the most terrible things to you and you guys like each other? If you do like him then why now? His an ass for what he did to you.." Katherine said loudly.

"I know but he changed..." I said confidently not knowing for sure if I was correct.

"People like Damon don't change. Once a player,always a player." Katherine said.

"Katherine-" I said. I was stopped mid sentence because there was knock at our door. I quickly went to the door and opened it. I saw Damon. He was wearing a black tuxedo and he had flowers in his hands. He looked really good tonight. I was so busy gazing at him that I didn't even notice that he was looking me up and down. He finally looked at me.

"Flowers for the lady" Damon said. He held out his flowers to me and I took them. As weird as it sounds, It smelled like Damon. I blushed and excused myself so that I could go to the kitchen and put them in water. I went to the door and saw Katherine and Damon exchanging glares. I sensed the tension and grabbed Damon's hands and walked outside with him.

"What was all that about?" I asked when we got to his car.

"Your cousin gave me a little talk that if I do anything stupid that she's going to make sure that I never make children again." He said.

"Please, don't mind her. She's convinced that your going to 'hurt' me. She'll get over it soon because Damon, you are a nice person. You're helping me get through this." I said giving him a reassuring smile. He looked at me and nodded. we both got into the car and drove in silence to the Lockwood's. We arrived 10 minutes later. Damon stopped the car and unlocked the doors. I opened my door and got out. Damon walked over to me and held out his hand. I blushed and took it. He was warm and I felt safe with him. We walked in and greeted us.

"Hello there." She said smiling warmly.

"Hey,." I said.

"Hello,." Damon greeted.

"Did Caroline come?" I asked.

"Not yet, Tyler went to go pick her up." She said.

"Enjoy yourselves, I'm going to go talk to the other guests." She said. walked off into the other direction.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Damon said. I nodded and went to the other room. I got a drink and after a few minutes Tyler and Caroline walked in holding hands. They were so cute.

"Elena, you made it! I thought you forgot." Caroline said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I said.

"Hey Elena." Tyler said.

"Hey Tyler, how are you and Caroline doing?" I asked.

"We're doing good..Very good." He said. Caroline smacked him and Tyler kissed her. I looked away.

"Hey, Elena, can you get some Grey goose Vodka? It's up in my room." Tyler asked.

"Sure." I said. I headed up the steps. For some reason I think Caroline's going to go home wasted.


Damon's POV

I walked up the steps and went to look for the bathroom.

"God this house is so complicated." I grumbled.

"It is isn't it?"I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw Rose. I haven't talked to her since I saw her at the grill.

"So brunette's the flavor of the month,eh?" She said.

"What do you mean? I like Elena very much." I said confidently. I did. She was the most beautiful girl in the world and plus she was carrying our baby. I put her through hell and I want to help her.

"Come on,Damon. We both know that you and Elena aren't going to last." She said coming closer. She pushed me into a room. It was probably Tyler's.

"Get out of my way,Rose." I said.

"You don't deserve Elena. She's too soft. You're a player. You can't last with a girl even if you tried. I'm also the same. We're perfect for each other." She said huskily. I thought about it and she was right. I was a player and Elena was too soft. I don't want to hurt her again. I was so busy thinking that I didn't notice that Roses lips were on mine. I knew this was wrong but I kissed her back. I don't know what was wrong with me. I pushed her up against the wall and started kissing her. Her hands were tangled in my hair while I was holding her back. She was about to take off my suit and that's when I decided that this was going too far. I didn't get to reply because I heard an angelic voice behind me. I turned around and saw Elena. She had tears in her eyes. I hurt her yet again. I hate this.

"Damon?" She said. Her voice was broken and I felt so bad. I looked at Rose and she was smirking.

"Elena, It's not what it looks like." I said hoping that I could reason with her. She shook her head and ran out the door and went downstairs.

"Well that was fun wasn't it?" Rose said. She cam up to me again but this time I'm not going to make the same mistake again.

"Get away from me Rose. Get away from us. Don't you see what you're doing. I like her. Hell, I may even love her! and you're trying to ruin our relationship." I said. I was red and I felt like hitting something. Due to my sudden outburst Rose backed away. I left her and went downstairs looking for Elena. I saw her talking to Katherine. Oh god. Elena had tears on her cheeks and Katherine looked like sh was about to kill. A few minutes later I saw Elena walk away outside. Good, now was my chance. I walked outside and saw her sitting near the lake. I sat next to her and I could feel her body tense.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"I'm sorry for what i did. I really do like you it's just that I'm afraid that i'm going to hu-" I was cut off.

"Well you did hurt me."She said. She paused and I was staring at the ground.

"I know that you don't want to hurt me but you already did..more then one time. And we're taking things a little to fast,don't you think?" She said. I was still looking at the ground.

"I think we need some time. Maybe lots of time. I think you need some time to figure out what you're doing. I need some time because I'm confused and lost. My parents are dead and i'm pregnant, I just need some time to heal..." She said while sobbing when she she said the last sentence. I snapped my head up. I know she said she needed some time, but I can't let go of her.

"Please,Elena, we'll work through this. Think about the baby." I said reasoning.

"I am thinking about the baby. I'm going through so much that i'm surprised that my head didn't explode." She said. She was right but I can't let her walk away.

"Please..." I said whispering. She said nothing and walked away. I sat there and let a tear come out. I love her.


Elena's POV

Katherine was right he was a player. I know I should be mad but for some reason i'm not. I'm just hurt that he would do that to me. I know it was hard for me to do what I did but it was necessary. It was hard to walk away from him. But I had to. I walked back in the house and looked for Katherine. I saw her talking to a boy. His name was Cody. I don't know him that much but I heard he was sweet. My cousin looked like she was comfortable so I looked for Jenna. I needed to go home. I turned around and bumped into someone.

"I'm sorr-" I stopped when I realized I bumped into Rose.

"You should stay away from Damon." She said glaring at me.

"Don't worry his all yours." I said.

"He doesn't want you, you know that, right? I mean, you saw us kissing right. I'm pretty sure that it's obvious that your just one of his toys. Pregnant or not, I will beat you up if you don't stay away from him." She said in a threatening voice. I was on the verge of tears. Not because I was scared, because she was right. Damon probably doesn't even want me.

"I told you, he's all yours. You don't have to worry about me." I said while my voice was cracking. She just smirked and walked away. I found Jenna and told her I was going home. I walked home and when I walked outside I saw Damon. He looked mad. Rose was sitting next to him flirting her way to him. Damon looked up and made eye contact with me. I glared at him before walking away. I walked fast because I had a feeling that he was probably going to follow me. And I was right.

"Elena-" He said.

"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" I growled. Damon looked hurt and was coming closer but that's when I ran. I ran really fast to my house and got in. I ran to my room while sobbing. I took of my dress and changed into a huge a black t shirt. I jumped into bed and started crying full on. I wish I could leave this town. Leave everyone. Leave Damon. But I can't because it's too late.

Because I'm in love with Damon Salvatore.
