"You have not lost your touch Elena". Damon at once told her. Why didn't she understand just how beautiful she was? He loved everything about her. Even when she was a complete pain in the butt.
"You don't understand Damon, I'm not popular anymore. Look at my circle of friends, it's dissolving!" she nearly sobbed out the other word.
Damon then grabbed her hands. "Elena. If your friends cannot accept you for who you are, and they don't want to spend time with you, then they aren't your friends anymore. You haven't lost your touch. Maybe you have with your popularity, but who's to say that you have to be popular? Just be Elena. That's good enough for me". he then smiled at her. It was very rare for Damon Salvatore to smile. When he did, it was usually a smirk.
Elena looked at him. For a moment there, their eyes gazed into each other. What was she thinking? Damon was right, she didn't have to be popular anymore at least, not around him. "Whoever thought you would ever say something so right and true". she said.
Damon laughed. "I'm not a real bad person Elena. I have thoughts and feelings just like Stefan does. And I don't care if your popularity is gone. Your still Elena to me and that is all that matters. I love the beautiful person inside you. So what if Bonnie won? That doesn't mean she's a Queen in my eyes. Because in my eyes, you're a Queen."
Elena's eyes filled with happy tears. He knew just what to say to make her feel better! "Thank you, Damon".
"Hey, don't start the water works on me here alright? Can't have you turning into a faucet here." he pulled her close.
Elena laughed this time. "Don't worry I won't. I just get emotional when someone says something nice and they actually mean it".
Damon looked into her eyes. "I mean everything I say Elena. Except when I'm angry. I'm going to treat you like the Queen you deserve to be." Then they began to slowly dance to their own music.
The end! Hope everyone enjoyed it!
