Damon: "Ah, the truth comes out. The ol' Damon is going to cause the end of the human world thing comes out at last. Contrary to popular belief, I am not here to take down the human race by making friends with a couple of vampire freaks. I want a companion in my life. Is that so hard for anyone to grasp? God, I can't help it if she has a colorful background and that it's very intriguing for me. She doesn't need Superman to come rescue her. So, I suggest if you want to keep your own peaceful living that you stay out of my way."

Stefan could see a glimpse of the Damon he knew as his brother surfacing in that one look. He seriously was trying to keep her away from him and away from the truth as much as possible. Stefan decided he had to put some faith in Damon and got back in his car and left the hospital. He didn't like the fact that he sent a pissed off Damon back into a hospital full of vulnerable people, but he couldn't push it any further either. Damon might do something just to prove to him that he wasn't kidding around.

Meanwhile, Damon goes out behind the hospital where no other person would walk and starts throwing things no normal human could lift out of frustration. What was it going to take to prove he wasn't the evil person everyone thought he was? Ok, maybe he was that evil person. Maybe he did make a point in telling everyone he "had no good side" to get on and that he didn't care, but that was a front. He cared. There was part of him that wanted to do well and to be good, but he was so good at just being an evil bad guy. Elizabeth understood him as a good guy with good intentions. So, screw what Stefan thought. Why was he even giving a second thought to what any of them thought? He had to stop going down that road. He was putting himself in a position that would only turn out bad for him self. Trusting a human girl and trusting his brother who screwed him to begin with. What the hell was he thinking?

After a quick clean up, he walked back into the hospital like nothing happened, but Elizabeth already spotted the change in his personality and was coming straight over to find out what happened. Damn you, Stefan. Now what the hell am I supposed to tell her?

Elizabeth: "You look bugged. What's up?"

Damon: "Oh, my brother the hero showed up in the parking lot to tell me that I can't afford to screw up this job."

Elizabeth: "Well, that's rude. He has no idea how good of a doctor you are. People sing your praises here. You have lots of patients who love you and trust you with their care."

Damon: "Yeah. I have a lot of patients who love and trust me. But, my brother seems to think I'm somehow out to destroy the human race with one foul move."

He rolls his eyes like it's the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard and makes a dramatic hand gesture like a bird attacking. He hoped he was covering up the fact that there was some truth to that statement. It didn't sound like a sibling rivalry comment a normal person would make. Then again, he wasn't normal and neither was Stefan. He also had to take into fact that Elizabeth didn't know Stefan from a hole in the ground. So, she had no idea that the two of them were never really close or loving.

Elizabeth: "Why is your brother so negative about you? What has he done to improve lives? Has he ever brought someone back from the edge of death or held the hand of a sick child while they healed. He has no idea what you're capable of here. He has no right to judge you when he hasn't walked a mile in your shoes."

Damon: "He's negative about me because I haven't exactly been a sweet angel of a brother to him. I've done some pretty screwed up stuff to him in the past."

Elizabeth: "The past is meant to be forgiven. He needs to get over it. It'll just make him old and bitter if he keeps harping on shit from the past. You're brother sounds like a drag."

Damon: "Well, to me he is. He's a brooding, moody, pain in my ass. But, you have to love him because he's my brother and I have to love my family, right? Even if I can't stand him some days, he is still blood and I would be no where without him."

Elizabeth: "That's right. You wouldn't be Damon without Stefan. Besides, I'm sure it's not all horrible between you two. You have some shining moments."

Damon: "Sure we do. There's positive stuff in there somewhere. I just don't like the fact that he is poking around in my business trying to stir up old skeletons. It's none of his business anyway. If I want the world to know about my past, I will tell them in my time. He just needs to stay out of it. He pisses me off. He didn't have to leave his girlfriend in Mystic Falls. He could've stayed behind. I could give a damn less if he's here or not. My life goes on. I'm an adult who can take care of my self."
