I woke up the next morning in the hotel bedroom. I knew I had to go and see Elena again. I know I didn't want her to see me again, not just yet.

After taking a quick shower and changing into some new clothes, a dark blue top with black jeans complete with my black boots. I locked up my room and headed out.

The hotel was the next town away from Mystic Falls. I know that no one would bother to look for me there. As I sped over to Elena's house, I thought about what she might be doing at that moment.

I had no idea what I would do once I finally saw her. Seeing her always fills me with such longing. I guess I'll just have to see what happens.

Elena POV

I woke up still feeling guilty after Katherine's visit. I dreamt about the kiss and the loving look in her eyes. I still had questions for her but I had no way of getting ahold of her and I hated it, even though I would never admit that to anyone.

A part of me, a pretty big part, wants to see her again so badly. To kiss her again. But I can't do that to Stefan. Not after he's forgiven me for what happens four years ago.

Speaking of Stefan, he has been distant lately and I don't know why. At first, I thought maybe he hadn't really gotten over what I had done but he reassured me over and over again and I believed him. He never comes to my house anymore and we barely spend any time together as a couple should.

I even tried to talk to Damon about it, see if he knows anything and he says he has no clue. I believe him, he has no reason to lie to me. Damon and I have become so close, he is my best friend and I can tell him anything. He gives me that safety and comfort that I used to feel all the time with Stefan.

After sitting in thought for God knows how long, I decide to pay a visit to Damon. Maybe spending the day with him will help me forget about my Stefan problem and most importantly the feeling of guilt I still feel over Katherine.

I've finally reached Elena's house as I see her get in her car. I hid far so she wouldn't notice I was there. She looks stunningly beautiful and she's only in some faded blue jeans and a red tank top. Her hair is up in a ponytail. I watch as she drives away. I find it funny that even though she's a vampire now, she still uses it. Old habits die hard i guess.

I quickly decide that I'll leave her a note in her room for her when she returns. I let myself in her window. I find a pad of paper and a pen, writing a small note for her. I take one last look before leaving and heading back to the hotel. All I can do now is wait and hope that my plan works.

Elena POV

I decided to go pay Damon a visit. We hadn't seen each other in a couple days.

I arrived at the boarding house and walked in. No one ever really knocks here anyway. I walked into the parlor.

"Damon?" I called his name. I knew he would hear me even if I whispered it.

He was in front of me and pulled me into a tight hug. I don't know how, but I could tell he knew something was bothering me. He pulled away after a few minutes. "Elena, what's wrong?" He said, his voice filled with concern and worry.

"I need to talk to you about something. Where is Stefan?" I asked warily. Normally I would know his whereabouts but lately I haven't got a clue.

He went over to his liquor cart and poured us a glass of bourbon. Knowing it would help me. He knew me so well. I walked to the couch in front of the fireplace and took a seat.

"I haven't seen him either to be completely honest. Why don't you know where he is? I mean you are the one dating him" he said with a small smirk as he handed me my glass.

I couldn't help but smile at his remark. You could always count on Damon to make me smile even at times like this. I took a sip of my drink and breathed in deeply before looking at Damon. "I think Stefan's cheating on me"

"Saint Stefan? No way Elena. He has you! Why would he need someone else?" He said with a bit of anger in his tone as he gulped down his drink, getting up to make another.

"There have been so many signs Damon. He's never here, we never talk anymore or see each other like we used to, we haven't even been on a date or had sex in years." I said trying to keep my composure and not burst into tears.

"You know, now that I think about it, you're right because even I have seen him around. It's like he's completely disappeared. Son of a bitch...I'll kill him!" He yelled and threw his glass into the fire.

I got up quickly and put my hand on his shoulder "Damon no, you can't kill him. I know you're mad that-"

"I'm not mad Elena, I'm livid. That fucking bastard...you don't deserve to be treated this way Elena!" He said as he started pacing back and forth

I could practically see the steam coming out of Damon's ears. "Damon you can't. He's your brother and I know you won't admit it, but you will miss him if you killed him." I said as I looked into his eyes. I saw him soften slightly at my words and that was the last we talked about the subject.

Talking to Damon was a great idea. We talked about anything and everything.

I knew even before, that when I told Damon about my suspicions he would want to kill his brother for hurting me, but I knew better. He needed his brother, he even admitted to me and only me a year ago.

On my drive home, my mind wonders back to Katherine. I wonder how she's doing, if she hates me now. Then again, judging by her last visit nothing has changed for her.

I walk inside the house and head up to my bed. I immediately smell a scent and I know whose it is.

Katherine.

She's been here in my room while I was gone? Or is that scent just lingering from when she was here last? God I missed her sweet scent. Nothing compared to it. It is so unique. So...Katherine. I wonder what she was doing here if she did in fact come inside.

After taking a shower and putting on some PJs, I notice a note on my dresser. I pick it up and read it.

My dear sweet Elena, I know you are probably mad that I let myself in your house without your permission. I know you probably have questions for me so I am giving you the address to my hotel and my suite. The address is:

413 South Main Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia 66136 and it's the penthouse suite.

I won't lie and say that I'm not hoping that you will come, because I am. I want to see you again Elena. But I'm leaving the decision up to you. Take care of yourself Elena.

Love, Katherine

I'm shocked that she actually left me her address to reach her. It's like she knew I would have questions for her.

Without hesitation, not even caring that it's late, I get redressed and get in my car, bringing the note with me. As I'm driving, I wonder what exactly I'll say to her when I see her: I never could think clearly around her.

I reach the hotel within minutes and let myself in, taking the elevator up to the penthouse suite. My nerves start to get to me as I watch the numbers go up. I'm so anxious to see her my undead heart is feels like it's pounding in my chest.

When the elevator opened up, I reached her door and took a deep breathe and knocked, waiting for her to answer.

AN: what do you think will happen next? Please review!
