This missing scene begins after the end of Season 3, Episode 15 – All My Children…
"Are you sure you have right brother?" Damon asked, after checking the caller on his phone's screen. "Surely you wanted Stefan."
"I'm sure," Elena responded.
"What do you want with me? Upset that I kept you alive again?"
Elena hesitated. This wasn't really the reason for her call, but she answered. "You know it's not what I would have wanted, Damon; making Bonnie's mother a vampire."
"It worked, Elena. She's not dead and neither are you."
Elena exhaled. "Still, not what I wanted. You know that."
"And exactly what did I get out of all of those times when I did what you wanted me to, Elena?"
Elena closed her eyes and bit her lip briefly. "Damon, please. Don't be like that."
"Like what Elena?" Damon asked. Then without waiting for a reply, he said, "Oh yeah. Like loving you and doing anything I have to do to keep you alive. I'm trying to change, Elena – really I am. And you're starting to make it easier for me."
"Damon, please. That's not what this is about."
The vampire hesitated, then asked "What is this about, Elena?"
"Bonnie's hurting, Damon, but Caroline wouldn't let me see her."
"And?"
"Caroline said that Bonnie thought what you did was OK, because it was to save me."
Damon snorted. "And you thought I was the only one who thought like that. I guess I have something in common with Goldilocks and the witch after all."
"How do you think that makes me feel, Damon?"
"Safe?" Damon asked, the sarcasm evident in his voice. "Protected? Loved?"
She had an idea of what he would say when she asked, but his answer still stung a little.
"You guys don't care who gets hurt. Everyone is willing to turn into a monster to try to save me."
"Everyone doesn't turn into a monster for you Elena. I've always been a monster."
"No!" Elena gasped. "That's not true. Damon. That's not what I meant."
"Well, you've always treated me like one."
"Damon, please." Elena was whispering now. "That's not what I meant."
"Not what you meant," Damon said, his voice emotionless. "You didn't mean to call me a monster, like you didn't mean to say that my love for you was a problem. Do you mean anything you say anymore, Elena?"
He heard her let a breath out, he could almost feel her tension through the phone. He almost tried to say something comforting, but held back and waited for her to speak again.
Her voice was soft when she did. "Remember when you used to come to me after I had nearly died, or when we had been apart for most of the day?"
"Back before you got Stefan back? When you pretended to trust me, to care about me?"
Elena ignored the Stefan comment. "I wasn't pretending Damon. I trusted you, I still do. And I cared about you, I still care."
"You trust me, care about me, but you still had to call to complain about what I did."
Elena shook her head as she said, "That's not why I called, Damon."
"But you still did it. Maybe you should go back to Stefan."
This caught Elena off guard. "What? Damon, why would you even say that?"
"He's back on the wagon, Elena. His 'Ripper' days are over."
"How would you know?" she asked, obviously confused. "And why would you think I want to 'go back' to him?"
"Because I've been paying attention, Elena."
"Damon, please…" she began before she realized that he had disconnected.
The doppelganger closed her eyes and rubbed her head. The call to Damon had not gone at all as she intended.
Though I find TV Elena extremely annoying lately, I remain madly in love with her, so I find the fact that I have to wait weeks to see her again even more annoying.
The TVD producers or writers or whoever always find a way to annoy me (not that I'm self-centered or anything)…
