I hope you like this chapter. :)
"You tried to kill her Damon!" Elena yelled at Damon, even though he was a mere foot away.
"It's Katherine, who cares!" Damon had plunged a stake centimeters below Katherine's heart when she started messing with his head, telling him the truth about when he was human.
Elena shook her head in disgust. Damon was always acting on impulse, instead of thinking thing's through. Elena's adopted mother was dead. She had killed her appointed mother, and Damon had tried staking her biological mother.
Damon looked into Elena's angry eyes. "You have every right to hate me, I understand." He spoke softly but clearly. "I know you hated me before we became friends and it would suck if that was gone forever." He swallowed his pride. "So is it? Have I lost you forever?" Damon watched Elena's expression carefully.
She hesitated before she nodded, "Yes, Damon, you have." Now she was inching towards the door.
"You're not capable of hating me forever, Elena." Damon reached out to touch her arm.
"Yes, I am." Elena didn't want to look at Damon anymore.
"You and Katherine have a lot more in common than just your looks." Damon's words cut a hole in Elena. How dare he compare her to Katherine. Damon could see the fire in Elena's eyes. "Did my confession overwhelm you?" Damon wasn't asking sincerely, he was asking to hurt. "Is my love not enough?" This finally struck a nerve.
"Are you kidding me, Damon?" Elena was furious with him. "Your life had purpose with me and you're willing to sit here and insult me." She shook her head in disgust, her nose pinching.
"Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic, Elena." Damon couldn't hold back his irritation.
"Damon, I love you." Elena's eyes softened. "But I can't stand by and let you kill everyone all over again." She was going to keep talking, but Damon cut in.
"Skip the teen drama and get to it." Damon was growing bored with arguing. He would rather be doing something more productive.
"Now I get it, you're just stupid!" Elena tossed her hands up. "Death would have been too kind." Elena mumbled under her breath. Her eyes were misting over.
"Oh please don't tell me you're crying." Damon groaned and walked forward, rocking Elena back and forth in his arms. "I've been dead before, I got over it." He smirked down at Elena, trying to make her feel better after battering her with insults that would have gone over other people's heads. "Oh come on, pouty." Damon stuck out his lower lip, imitating Elena. Elena glared up at him. "Don't look at me with those judgy little eyes." He hugged her tighter. "I was angry. But there's only so much hurt a man can take, Elena." Damon said honestly. "And I know a lot of it has nothing to do with you." Elena listened out of the ear that wasn't crushed against Damon's chest. "I'm going to try to be good, but don't expect me to go out and adopt a puppy or something, I'm not human… no matter how badly I wish I was." Elena was shocked to hear Damon's secret. He wanted to be human again.
Dramatic enough for you all? :D Haha
