Damon's P.O.V
"He's still not woken up?" It was a stupid question to ask but I didn't know what else to say. She jumped and turned around. Her eyes were red and puffy. I grabbed a chair and sat next to her. "He will, Katherine did." I said but there was uncertainty which lingered in my tone. All spells worked differently on people. Spells were like medicine, there was a 70-90% chance that it would work depending on the difficulty of the spell and the other 30-10% was that there would either be a side effect or the person wouldn't make it. Since this spell brought back the dead, there was less then 70% chance that it would work. For all our sakes, I wish it did work.

"Damon, I'm sorry." Elena whispered to me like she was trying not to wake Stefan up. Her dragged me out of my thinking.
"What for?" I asked her confused.
"Everything. I didn't mean to pull you along. I honestly thought that I loved you. I did love you. I still do but-"
"But not as much as Stefan." I said to her sighing. "You're not the first girl and funnily enough you look exactly the same as her." I could tell she was hurting and I didn't want to be the jerk to hurt her. To be honest, she shouldn't be sorry at all. She made me realize how deeply in love I was with Katherine. It wasn't her fault. "You can't help who you are in love with." I said to her. I gave her a small smile.
She took my hand in hers. And for the first time, I realised that my heart didn't jump like it did before. It was like a sister or a friend holding my hand. Nothing more. I got up quickly.
"I'm so sorry. I have to go find someone but call me when he wakes up." I said to her and she just nodded. "Thank you." I told her. "Thank you for being there for him. You both deserve each other."
Her gaze didn't look into my eyes anymore. There was something saddened about her expression.
"I can stay if you want?" I offered her.
"No, no go. I'll be fine." She said giving me a smile but I could tell that she was faking it. I didn't know what to do. Could I leave her when she was so upset? "Seriously I'll be fine. Thank you Damon." She said shooing me off. I took one last glance back at her, she was facing Stefan holing his hands in hers.

I rushed back to where I last saw her. The bed was empty. She couldn't have gone by now, could she? She couldn't have just left. I checked all around the house and outside as well but she was nowhere to be seen. I saw Bonnie, Jeremy and Caroline outside.
"Where's Katherine?" I asked them.
"She got in the car and went somewhere." Caroline said shrugging.
"And you just let her!" I shouted at them. "She is still weak. What if... What if something happened to her?" I asked them. They didn't say anything but just looked towards the ground.
"We're sorry Damon. She just said she needed to be somewhere and that she would be back." Bonnie said to me with a sympathetic look.
"She's coming back?" I said confused. Where could she possibly go?
"That's what she said," Jeremy said shrugging.
Would she come back? I sighed. Lets hope so.

Elena's P.O.V
"Stefan?" I called to him as I watched him try to get up. "Hey, hey take it easy." I said as I tried to make him get back down.
"How long was I out for?" He asked me as he laid back down on the bed. His head rested on the head board behind him.
"Just a couple of hours." I said simply to him.
He was now looking into my eyes, he raised his hand which touched the side of my cheek. "Everything is alright now. Everything is fine now." He soothed, stroking my hair.
"I nearly thought I lost you. I don't think my heart could take it anymore." I said to him. "If I- if I... I don't know what I would do if I lost you again." I said through sobs.
"You won't lose me. Hey, hey." He said as I looked into his green eyes. "I'm right here. You won't have to lose me again. I'll always be right here with you." He said pulling me into his chest. My head rested there as he stroked my hair. I could feel my breathing start to slow down.
I pulled my head up a bit and looked into his eyes. "I love you so much." I said to him softly.
His eyes lightened up, "I love you. Always will." He said pulling my lips to his. If my heart could still beat, it would probably be going 100km/h. It started out soft but it quickly got heated. It felt like a person tasting chocolate for the first time.

I pulled a part a bit and grabbed his hands leading him somewhere. It took so much of my control to stop him from kissing me.
"Where are we going?" He asked me.
"You'll see." I said to him with a mysterious smile. He put his arms around my waist as I lead him away to our place.

Damon's P.O.V
I sat on the edge of my bed, waiting for her to come back. That's if she was going to come back. Old habits die hard.
"Damon?" I heard her say from the doorway. I looked up and saw that she was shaken.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" I asked her as I rushed towards her. I saw blood staining her hands and her clothes and her face. I looked around to see where it was coming from and then realised that it wasn't hers. I moved back a bit. "What- what happened?"
"I-I... I don't know. I was trying to make something special for you like normal humans do. Those you know big gestures but then I was so thirsty so I went to The Grill..." She paused for a bit horrified about what she had done. "There was a couple there and I..." She looked towards the ground. "I was just so thirsty. I hadn't realised what I was doing until-until they were both dead on the floor." She said putting her hands on her hand. "I know that I've done it before but this time... I mean I was just so getting used to being human. I think a part of me wanted to stay human that's why I still had the ring on me but... But it must not have worked." She said starting to cry.
"So-so you're a vampire now?" I asked her. She just nodded her head. I looked at her for a bit. What did it matter? She was still the same person as before. I had loved her when she was a vampire. I took her into my arms as she silently cried.

We stayed like that for god knows how long. All I knew was that I never wanted to let her go. I could hear her start to stop crying.
"So what was this big gesture that you had planned?" I asked her changing the subject. I hated seeing her so upset.
She raised her head slightly from my chest and her big brown eyes were looking up into my blue eyes. "I was going to make you dinner." She said.
I started laughing. "That was your big gesture. All I need is a blood bag."
"Hey I haven't cooked for years but I guess now it would be easy since we both eat the same things." She said punching my arm lightly. She pressed her lips a bit tightly together. "I guess it wasn't so big after all. I was going to make you a human dinner but now thinking about it, that was probably a horrible idea." She said more to herself.
"Thank you. It was thoughtful of you but you know what I just realised?" I asked her and she just shook her head. "Is that I love you. I love you more then anything in the world. And you haven't changed. You're the person you always was... Just a little less crazy." I said cracking a smile at her and she punched me again but she was smiling now. "You're still the most beautiful woman I have ever known."
"That's not really saying much since I have a doppelgänger who you fell in love with," she said with a laugh.
"No, not just your looks. You. I love the outside and especially the inside. You were just so good at concealing who you truly were. And now I see you for who you truly are and I don't know how but I love you even more. You're so strong, funny, brave and fierce." I said to her and then I felt her lips on mine. Her sweet soft lips as she caressed my cheeks.

Elena's P.O.V
"Where are we?" I heard him say. "I mean why are we here? I didn't really think this was 'our place'" he said and I could hear the confusion in his voice.
I turned around to look at him. The night sky was out and the stars hung above us. The soft wind blew past us and ruffled our hair. Our lips were nearly touching as we gazed into each others eyes.
"It's the place where my parents had died but it is also the place where we first met... Even if I don't quite remember." She said with a laugh at the end. "This was a horrible time for me and I didn't know if I could ever feel again... But then you came along and I just knew... I knew that I could get through this time, that I could get through anything with you by my side." I said to him as I caressed his cheek. I tiptoed on my toes to pull him into a kiss. Everything felt right in the world. I had my both my best friends, Damon was happy, my brother was back and Stefan... Stefan was back. My Stefan.

"Wait." I said pulling out of the kiss. I could see his brows crease. "I have a few more places to show you." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

We were now at the school. I lead him towards the front office.
"This was the first place I saw you." I said to him as we walked into the office. It was still the same as the first day Stefan came here. "You were facing this way with your back towards the door and Bonnie was saying how you had a sexy back." I said with a smile.
He laughed and checked over his shoulder pretending to look at his back. "I do have a sexy back." He said jokingly and I punched him lightly on his arm, laughing. "Mmm do you think I have a sexy behind?"
"Mmm... Yea, not really." I lied as I laughed. He pulled me towards him playfully tickling me.
"Sorry what was that?" He said laughing as he tickled me some more.
I couldn't breathe from laughing so much. "Stefan. Stefan, stop!" I said through breaths as I tried to control myself. "I... Can't... Breathe."
He stopped tickling me but pulled me closer towards him. I could smell his sweet scent from where I was standing.
"I have another place to show you." I said to him pulling him along.
"Another place?" He said raising his eyebrows and I just nodded.

"The gym?" He asked as we stood in the big gym.
"Even though we have had a lot of people that wanted to kill us come here, we have had so many dances and so many experiences in this one gym." I said to him.
"Klaus." He said pressing his lips tightly together.
"Yes, the night where he compelled you to bite me. The night where I knew that you were the one I wanted to be with. The night where my humanity was off and you tried to make me feel again and you did. I just didn't want to admit it. That night every single memory that we ever shared came back to me. I just didn't want to open that box. I was scared of what it would make me feel. Of what I had lost. Of having lost you." I told him and I could feel my eyes start to water.
"You could never lose me." He said wiping the one year that had escaped.
"You say that now but after everything that I had done to you, I wouldn't have been surprised if you fell for someone else." I said to him taking a deep breath. I was trying to control myself but tear after tear escaped. "I... I was so scared. So scared of losing you. The decision I made to be with you just before I turned was probably the best decision I have ever made in my life. Everything after that just seemed so wrong, I was just so empty after that and now I know why. It was because of you. Because I had let you go." I said. He pulled me into a hug and I could see the tears that were forming in his eyes.

There was one more place to show him. We stood outside the Salvatore house. Everyone was still inside the house.
"This. This is the place where I first told you that I loved you. Ever since then or even probably before that I have never stopped loving you, whether I knew it or not. I will always love you and I am so sorry for everything. If you have me, I want to spend the rest of our lives together. I want to travel with you, go to college together, share some more experiences with you. You've been there for me and believed in me when no one else has. You've gotten me through times that I had never thought I'd come out of. And you've changed me for the better. I just hope that I can be the person that you are proud of, that you fell in love with and that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Because I knew that you are all those things to me." I said to him wiping away his tears.
"You already are those things to me. You have always been since the moment I met you. I love you, Elena Gilbert." He said and then he pulled me into a kiss and I felt my whole world start spinning so fast. I never wanted this moment to end. I never wanted this feeling to end. I was the luckiest person in the world.
