So sorry, this isn't a chapter update, just answering a few questions! There are tiny spoilers so if you don't want to be spoiled, don't read! Just if you want to know the answers to these questions.
So here it goes
1. Why couldn't Damon tell she was struggling to say those things, and especially since Stefan wanted to talk to her?
Well, in this scene i tried to use some of tvd Damon's main character traits, including his insecurity and belief that he doesn't deserve to be loved. So imagine if Elena, not emotionless Elena, normal tvd Elena, told Damon that their love was a lie, Damon would believe it, even if she was struggling to say it, he barely believed she loved him in the first place so. Second of all, he wasn't thinking too deeply into it, Damon and Elena had been through a lot in the past couple of days and hadn't really had a moment to just sit and think about it, so when Elena says that she doesn't love him, i mean, he believes it. He didn't really think about Stefan wanted to talk to her, kinda just slipped his mind, he was so worried about her that he didn't wonder why, he just wondered if she'd be ok, which i know was a bit OOC for him to leave her, cause he would die before leaving her in danger, but i had to make him leave, but he would've gone back if she wasn't home in like 20 minutes.
2. Why didn't she just kill Stefan?
Well, i've been trying to keep most of Elena's traits from tvd, and her guilt and compassion are very important, and i mean she already killed like 12, 13? people, not sure, a lot. So i was trying to emphasise that she's starting to feel more remorse for this, and it's actually sinking in that she killed people, that being said, it won't necessarily stop her in the future, she might just need more of a purpose to kill these people, like Stefan, he killed her father, and ruined her family. But, in this moment, he had the advantage, he was stronger than her, and she tried to kill him, but she also wanted answers. She had been searching for the man that killed her father for most of her life and when she found him she wanted to know why, she could just ask Damon, but she was in a little bit of a compromising position, Stefan had her there and she couldn't get away, or kill him, because she wasn't strong enough, especially at that point in time. Keep in mind that Stefan had been drugging her, so although she had regained most of her strength she was still a little weak.
3. According to Damon and Elena finding their way back to each other.
Well, i've had this planned for a while, so basically what comes after this is Elena leaves town and goes back to mystic falls, but she made a deal with Stefan, if she left, so did he, and i'll show this in the next chapter. But she goes back to mystic falls, you get to see her and Jeremy interacting, she meets a few new people, but conscious that Stefan is in mystic falls she tries to find him, cause she wants her revenge, this wether successful or not, opens up new opportunities for Damon and Elena to find their way back, but even if they do (no spoilers) there's going to be things in their way, and they're going to have to talk about you know the hole Damon saving her and why he didn't tell her and why he lied, basically they'll have to sort their shit out. But yes eventually they will find their way back, i mean this is a delena fic anyway so they have to.
Now that that's done, i'm sorry there hasn't been many like, romantic scenes yet, this is more of a dark fic, not much smut, less romantic scenes, we will have some from time to time, and we'll have some more coming but i have to get past this Stefan part first, then you know there's something that happens after that, and then after that, and so on. Also i have planned out the ending to my fic, i don't know how far away it is, not too close, i'm aiming for over 20 or 30 chapters, but i have planned the ending, so this fic is a lot more structured than my others.
