Someone asked whether there would be a storyline for the "Present Timeline"and if "Future Elena" can change the course of the timeline in the past that she is currently stuck in...and for now I think I will leave that open to a possibility ( I have an overall vision for this Fanfiction, but I do not have it 100% mapped out- this allows my creativity to flow).

Previously on a "Cure For The Past"...

"Hey there you are Damon." She tried to pull him away from the conversation. "Katherine I think Stefan was looking for you." With that Katherine walked off.

Damon turned around and looked at Elena. Mad as ever. "Why have you been talking to Katherine?" He started to raise his voice. "Have you not learned that she's an evil bitch that doesn't care about anyone or whether she hurts them?" He kept getting louder and people near them were starting to look over at them, curious of what was being said.

"Don't yell at me. And that's my business." She snapped. "Are you mad that I've been talking to her or that she's here with your brother?"

"WHAT? Why the hell would I care about them. I'm here with you. I want to be here with you, not her. Don't change the subject, why are you talking to her?" Damon's face was almost completely red now.

"Look I promise that it's nothing bad. Don't worry, but I can't tell you okay. Please just trust me. I know how she is believe me." Elena was pleading with him, and she could see that he was crumbling.

"Fine I'll leave it alone for now."

"Thank you." She internally calmed down knowing that he was calm and dropping the subject.

"I like jealous Elena." He winked at her.

"I am not jealous. I just-"

"You're jealous just admit it." He teased.

"Fine I am. But only because you were in love with her up until a couple weeks ago and I'm afraid that you're.." She trailed off.

"I'm what?" His voice quieted and he moved closer to her so that they were nose to nose.

"That you're still in love with her." She looked up into his eyes as she whispered the last few words.

"Impossible." He rubbed her arm with the back of his hand.

"Why?" She asked intrigued.

"Because I love you." He whispered.

"Good." She smiled and grabbed the back of his head to bring his lips down to hers.

Elena had missed the feel of Damon's lips on hers since she was transported to the past. Is it cheating if I am kissing this "Past Damon"? I wonder how "Future Damon" will take it? Will he be mad? Will he find it funny? Her inner thoughts were sidetracked by the fact that Damon was now fighting to gain access to her mouth with his tongue, instantly Elena pulled away breathless.

"Sorry, I have to go." Elena blurted out and ran to the nearest bathroom, leaving Damon to stand there both confused and elated that he just kissed Elena. No wait. She had kissed him, even better.

Elena locked the door to the bathroom and slid down the adjacent wall, banging the back of her head into the wall. Ugh, why did I kiss him? I should be focusing on staying alive, on figuring out how to get back to MY Damon- "Future Damon". Regardless, Elena couldn't stop thinking about how he was in love with her, even then, when he only just found out about Katherine being back and when they hadn't even spent a whole Summer alone yet, he loved her even then.

"Get yourself together." Elena said to herself. She rose from the sticky tiled floor, no doubt from someone spilt drink, and made her way to the sink. She turned the cold water tap on, cupped her hands together, allowing the ice cold water to pool in her hands and she splashed it in her face. Grabbing a nearby cloth she patted her face dry and made sure her lightly applied makeup was in tacked before unlocking the bathroom door and walking out running right into some random guy on the football team. "Sorry." Elena said as she scurried off find something to eat, she had forgotten that it was pivotal to her old human form to eat more regularly.

As she made her way to the hors d'oeuvres she felt a familiar hand on her lower back. Damon. "Hey where did you run off to?" He whispered in her ear. She turned around, her deep brown eyes meeting his electric blue.

"Sorry Damon-" She started to say before he cut her off.

No. Don't do that. Don't try and turn around after kissing me and telling me that it was a mistake. If you didn't feel even just an ounce of what I feel then you would have never kissed me." His voice firm, not mad, just blunt.

"Look Damon, you're right." He looked at her surprised. "I do feel something, but with Stefan and I having just broken up I don't think now is the time to be experimenting on any feelings we may or may not have for one another. It's not fair to me, not to Stefan, nor to you. I hope you can understand that." She was begging with her eyes for him to understand and not press the subject.

"For now, and only for now, I will let it go." Damon's face was softer, as was his voice. "But I will not let that kiss go. We need to talk about it at some-" He was cut off by Katherine wedging herself between him and Elena. "What the Hell?!" He exclaimed.

"No time love-sick puppy." She turned briefly towards him before looking back at Elena. "He's here." She said in a hushed voice.

"Who?" Elena and Damon asked simultaneously.

Katherine did not respond, only gave Elena a look that said, you know who.

"Elijah." Elena whispered.
