PAST
Jealous? It wasn't the accurate term to explain how he felt , he pushed up from the ground exerting his energy into exercise , he couldn't sleep through the night. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead down to his shirtless chest , all he could think was her. Her smile , her doe brown eyes , her hands clutching into Kol's shirt , the frown lines on her forehead after seeing Kol hurt.
When the bell rang, her face faded into air , he wiped his forehead furiously getting up from the plank position , extended his arm to grab a towel from his couch and went towards the door. It was hardly seven in the morning , he almost groaned opening the door.
"Hey." Caroline bit her lip trying to see through his anger, "Stefan invited you over for breakfast since-"
He nodded , "I'll be there after a shower." He was about to close the door on her but she moved her hand forward resulting it in being hurt by getting trapped between the door, "Ouh!" she yelped.
Damon opened the door fully , "Damnit Caroline- what did you do?" he got ahead holding her red hand ,"I am so sorry , it looks swollen already, come in." he pulled her in and made her sit on the couch as she held her hand in pain.
He got an ice pack and medicines for her , she took the Tylenol with water as he sat down patting her hurt arm with the ice pack , "So sorry Care."
"It's okay." She looked at him through her lashes , "It was my fault , I shouldn't have-"
He shook his head, "Its not your fault, I was just thinking about a case and I was tensed."
She pursed her lips , "Emmhmm – is that case Elena Gilbert?" He looked up from her hand to her sparkling blue-green eyes." He paused patting her hand with the pack , "Am I that obvious?"
She chuckled , "No, its just the way you reacted last night, I took a wild guess."
"well yeah." He shrugged hiding the slight blush creeping up his cheeks , "She was my girlfriend years ago, that kinda stuff lives with you."
Caroline laughed , "You dumped her you asshole and now that she's hot-"
"She was hot before." He raised a brow , "I have seen things." He winked , "She's hotter though." He started day dreaming. Caroline snapped him out , "Because she's not yours anymore."
He pursed his lips, "I messed up."
"That you did , why would you anyway?"
"We were in a long distance thing, you know how those things are, they suck." He huffed , "I fell in love with her, she made me realize all my relationships , with my Mother , with Stefan and Max and Giuseppe, all my life I hated –"
Her attention was set on his words , "So why?"
"Caroline." He sighed , "I was just a leech on Giuseppe's money- I took and took all seventeen years of my life , a person who's not even my real father sends me to University of Sydney , i didn't want to spend more of it with frequent trips to Mystic falls , every time I spoke to Elena before boarding on that plane was making me a weak person." He swallowed thick , "I wanted to be something , being Elena's boyfriend or lover wasn't going to be my identity."
"You could have at least explained this to her." She said softly. "I know." He nodded , "I was a coward, I was letting go but I wanted her to hang on to me , every time I wanted to say it – I couldn't , the idea of her moving on from me is – you don't understand Caroline."
"I do." She held his wrist with her other hand.
"Six months in I couldn't take it , I called her and I found out she was in a center."
She nodded , "It was horrible Damon , we didn't want her to go but she was being very violent at home , she hallucinates that someone wants her dead." Caroline bit her lip, "She told us you helped her with recovery."
He remained quiet, all of their memories started playing in his head in front of him,
He remembered sleeping in her small but comfortable bed with her, when he'd climb the pipe and she'd help him in , they'd talk and talk till she would fall asleep in his hold, most nights she would wake up, she'd be sweating and short of breath as if she was running saying she was seeing something in the corner of the room. "I checked, nothing's there." He said climbing back into bed with her , she shivered, "I did see it , it had a blade , he knows you're here that's why he's hiding." He pulled her shivering yet sweating body into his arms, "Then he can die waiting cause I am not leaving." She moaned , "Stop joking around , he's there." Damon rolled his eyes , "Trust me Elena , no one's there, I checked. Come on lets go back to bed , I have two more hours till your parents get up." She rested her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her , "That's it , close your pretty doll eyes , your boyfriend is right here to protect you." He kissed the top of her head, she murmured, "Boyfriend huh."
"Yes boyfriend." He said firmly , "Might as well add one and only."
She leaned up, "Don't be so sure." He cupped the back of her head raising a brow, "Mm what does that mean?"
"We can add strong and dashing." She chuckled. He pursed his lips , "Well well Miss Gilbert aren't you outwitting me this morning?" She pressed her lips against his, as her soft lips mingled with his he moaned letting his tongue explore her mouth as his hand migrated from the back of her soft hair to cup her face, soon she found herself breathless , parting from him , feeling his mouth travel from her chiseled jaw down the soft skin of her neck , she moaned his name quietly , fearing someone would hear them. He pulled her on top of him, leaning in her neck , she parted to look at his face, "And aren't you being more excited than you should be?"
He sighed, "Not my fault I cant keep my hands to myself, you shouldn't be so beautiful." Elena rolled her eyes , "I am the same girl you called a dead skunk when I wore that black and white polka dot dress white half an year ago." He almost cringed , "look I was stupid."
She grinned, "Hmm and-"
He huffed, "You looked very pretty that day , it was I , who was unnecessarily being rude." Elena had made him memorize that line for every bullying memory.
She raised a brow, "and-"
"And I am an emotionally challenged person and need you to recognize that and alter me to form the best version of myself." He said it like a robot
She giggled. He pursed his lips , "Can I kiss you now Miss know all ? she hit his chest, "Don't call me that." He groaned , "Owh you little- I mean , my lovely pink orchid." He caressed the side of her face, "Is that okay, I didn't call you rose this time like previously you mentioned ,that's a mainstream comparison." She nodded smiling , "That's good enough." Her lips once again found his and they slowly moved together.
"I want her back Caroline." He snapped out of his memory of her , "I think I'll go insane if I didn't."
Caroline didn't look shocked from his confession , "She's in love with someone else now Damon , that guy is a total damage but she loves him." He clenched his fists at the sentence alone , "She is not in love with him , She's just trying to hurt me."
"Trust me Damon, ive seen her. She has totally moved on. Kol has been her on and off for years and no matter how much she says its over, she always goes back to him." Caroline almost complained. "Kol even punched Stefan in the face last time and Elena still defended him, its that bad."
"What? He punched Stefan? How come no one told me? When did that happen?" he sat up , very offended that someone had picked on Stefan other than him. "Three months ago." Caroline looked up , "Lena's didn't come home yet so maybe they made up again."
Damon cringed at the thought , how could Elena choose so wrong? How can she be this desperate to hold on to someone who appeared so bad? Surely this was not the girl he knew. She would never look twice at the person who hurts her friends. She always stood up for the right thing and here she was hung up on this maniac. The knock on the door made their heads turn , Stefan entered the room with a sigh , "Lets not assume things Care and besides , its her choice remember?"
Caroline looked down at her lap, Damon raised a brow , "How could you allow this?"
"She didn't ask me." Stefan shrugged , "She clearly said I have no business in her love life and besides Damon lets not talk about 'bad relationships'."
"Stef." He warned. Stefan shrugged, "It's the truth Damon , the girl doesn't love you if anything you should be glad she doesn't hate you, just get over it. You didn't do her right by her either."
Caroline got up , "Lets just have breakfast." Damon bit the inside of his cheek , "Look Stefan I screwed up it doesn't mean I am bad for her , or did bad by her , sometimes things happen."
"I don't care Damon , I don't want to hate you, I don't want to fight over my best friend."
"My ex girlfriend."
"Your ex girlfriend." He raised his brows , "That speaks for it self , you've been warned brother."
"Why don't you roll and shove that warn up your-"
Caroline squealed , "Guys I swear , shut up, I am tired of this Elena talk, I want to have breakfast , now if you guys don't want to , I am fine, but not a word."
Stefan huffed and went towards the exit, "We're not going to be talking about this anymore."
Damon rolled his eyes , "You be nice to them and they think it's okay to bite your ass." He got up mumbling as he went towards the bathroom, "Close the door after yourself goldie."
She clenched her fists in anger.
..

Her brown hair were being combed by his fingers as she was lying on the bed , turning away from him. With every breath she took it would come out loud. "You're up?"
She nodded her head slightly, Elena didn't know why she did what she did. Why she always came back to Kol. He was the only person who made her feel like she was important. Like she could be loved too. Although his love was rough. He would act brutal some times but at the end of the day he'd convince her that she could only be loved by him. Like he was her only shot at happiness and love. Kol was her 'go to' in a way. Although it never felt a hundred percent endgame, she couldn't convince herself otherwise. "How's your wound doing?" she asked above a whisper. "I am okay." He almost said too arrogantly as if he was hard to hurt, "If it wouldn't have been you there , I would have ripped the kid open."
She squeezed her eyes shut, "Kol please for once, stop talking like that." She sat up running a hand through her hair, "He's Stefan's brother."
"So, what does he have to do with you?" he wrapped his arms around her , "Why was he coming between us like his annoying as fuck brother?"
"I will skip telling you that." She pushed her self away from his arms getting up from the bed , she tied her hair, "Kol , I came home with you because – you were hurt, I don't think we're good together. Please stop showing up to random places , people have started pulling away contracts because you keep showing up at sets."
He too got up , "You mean that set where you were nearly naked. I don't think I made a mistake." She frowned, "That's my work Kol , I will do it. You interrupting just makes it difficult to get quality work."
He held her arms , "Oh so pretending orgasms for those fake blondes is quality work , Elena I wont allow this."
"I am not asking for your permission." She tried to push him but he held her tightly pushing her to the dresser's side, "Yes you will Elena , you're mine."
"This is exactly why we don't work Kol , leave my arm , you're hurting me."
"And you keep hurting me with your high class prostitution Elena , I swear Elena I will not be quiet- I lost my fucking job over you."
That always shut her up. She pushed him away, "I am going home."
"You stop picking my calls , you'll see those sets destroyed." He smirked , "And tell Stefan to mind his fucking business."
She clenched her fists , "Stay away from them Kol , its not cool." He held her arm tightly, "You're not going to tell me what to do darling, I see you getting rid of me Elena , you'll regret it."
"I know , I am not getting rid of you." She said loudly pulling back her arm.
..

She was so ashamed of Kol because of what he did, more embarrassed that she had taken him back and by now , everyone in the apartment complex knew about the girl and her toxic relationship. She stayed hidden from eyes for days. Of course the most disappointed were Stefan and Caroline. She rarely saw her ex boyfriend. Of course he was a junior Doctor at the hospital , and working under her Dad's supervision , which in itself was stress worthy enough. Stefan said that they'd both spend the weekends at the boarding house with their parents. She saw him at sunrise, because she had to go for her early shoot. He was just coming back from work, he looked tired.
"Good morning." She smiled at him before he'd enter his apartment. "You look exhausted."
"I had an emergency at the hospital like two in the night, and I'll be leaving for work in about two hours so – not my best day yet." He pursed his lips. She tucked her hair back , "That sounds tiring."
"its all for the pay check." He winked. She laughed lightly, "Of course Paychecks- that's all that should matter."
He caught on to her sarcasm but let it be.
"So you're gonna take a nap?"
He shook his head, "I cant , I'll never be up at 7.30 , I am gonna get a bucket of Coffee , watch 'The wire'."
She sighed, "Umm you know what? Why don't you take a nap instead of getting a stroke and I'll call you at 7.30 and wake you up?"
"I don't know." He held the knob to her door , "Can you though?"
"No problem. I'll call you , go take a nap , be sure to keep your phone near."
"Jeez that's really sweet Lena. Thanks."
"No problem." She nodded her head and went towards the Elevator , the whole time feeling his blue eyes stuck on her.
..
..
..
After fifteen minutes of constant beeping in his ear , he finally woke up and stretched his arm to grab his phone from the nightstand almost about to throw it against the wall , seeing her name pop on his screen made him squint to see clearly , he picked it up , "Elena?"
"Its 7.30 , I am at set in my make up , go get ready."
He sat up running a hand through his hair , "Are you fucking serious , I just slept like three minutes ago." He groaned.
"No Damon , don't you dare go back to bed , my Dad will scratch your little check." She squealed , "Get up Damon."
He raised from his bed , "See that's why I don't like two hours naps."
"Dad's going hard on you , do you want me to talk to him?"
He got in the bathroom , splashing water on his face, "No way, he doesn't know you and I know each other , lets keep it that way , he loathes your friends."
He heard her gasp, "That's not nice." He went to plug on the kettle putting his shirt on, "Your Dad is like you."
"Like me?"
"Stone cold bitch." He chuckled.
"Look who's talking."
"Thanks by the way, I'm some what better. This kind of feels like a 'deja-vu'."
"How so?" her voice was playful.
He bit his lip, "Remember when the days I'd not stay over during the games month ,you use to wake me up for practice by calling." There was a long pause , he heard her sigh on the other end after a long time , "I gotta go, they're calling me on set."
"Okay, thanks though, I'll see you around then." He ran a hand through his hair. "Uh-huh I'll see you at Stef's Bar-b-que."
"He's having a party? I didn't know."
"Oh."
"Okay I'll be talking to Stefan now , Thanks Darling uh-bubye."
"Bye." She said in a hesitant voice.

Stefan and Caroline threw the most wildest parties on weekends once a season , Caroline would push all furniture to the one room. Get the place ready for a crazy weekend , get drinks and music so high, people would be unable to hear each other. Stefan had avoided to call Damon because he never knew Damon would be available that evening or actually interested , he was the least interested in drinking till he'd vomit.
Kol had forcefully invited himself to the place, his jealous self didn't let him be at home, seeing Elena growing up to understand that he was bad for her just made him feel furious all in all. He was never this possessive over something like he was over her. She caused him his license , she couldn't just break up with him.
Elena's eyes widened once she saw Stefan dancing with a brunette, "Katherine."
Caroline handed her a Margarita , "She's finally back from her world tour." Her voice sounded bitter, "She rubs me the wrong way I don't know why."
"Well maybe because everything does." Kol interrupted her. She rolled her eyes, "I just remembered , she reminds me of you."
He smirked, "Don't get so grumpy , why don't you go go eat a dick to help that frustration of yours."
Caroline held his shirt, "Fuck off Kol." Elena got in between them, "Guys! What the hell Kol? You told me you'd behave , for god sakes you're thirty two."
"Why does she always have to fuck with me?" he seethed. Elena pushed him slightly, "I am tired of this , please can I have one day off , where I don't have to apologize to people for your behavior?" she turned to Caroline , "Let's go."
He bit the inside of his cheek, angry and frustrated. He would eventually get back at her somehow.
"five minutes here and I've already apologized to three people for his behavior." Elena gulped down her drink, "I am tried of this, my career, my personal life is all just crap Care."
Caroline brushed the hair away from her eyes, "Elena you need to cut the negative away , you're not nineteen anymore."
She pursed her lips , "It doesn't end like that Care , I am trying but I cant." Her eyes moved to Stefan and Katherine, "where's Damon?"
"Umm I just saw him – oh there." Caroline pointed, she could see Damon at one corner, sipping from his glass , least interested in anything,
"We should say hi." Elena got up. Caroline held her arm, "You sure that's a good idea?" she nodded as she headed towards him,
Before she'd say hi to him , someone else did , "Hello Damon." Elena saw Katherine by his side , "You sure do look like you're forced to be here." She giggled. Damon shrugged, "Oh Katherine I didn't see you till now , how's the whole -umm airline thing going." She pursed her lips , "Stewardess. And yes its going great. "
Elena stood by there side, Stefan too came along wrapping his arm around Katherine , "This party is for you kat , why sit in a corner , would you like a dance?"
She shrugged, "I haven't seen Damon in years , perhaps he can give me a spin." She winked at him. He raised a brow , "I'd love to Kat , but I am exhausted from the week , I'll just , be here and do nothing." She flipped her hair taken Stefan's hand , leaving without more dead conversation. He smiled seeing her , "look who's here."
She sighed smiling back, "You seem bored."
"I want to go home , this music provokes my suicidal thoughts." He got up, "Its crazy cause I got here twenty minutes ago and I miss my dark cabin."
"emm you mind if I come along?" she said hesitantly. "not at all Lena." He grinned getting up. She followed him out of their avoiding to run into Kol, she really didn't want to run into Kol specially with Damon around. A part of her felt guilty in a way, but she and him were friends, right?
"Don't count on me to cook, I suck, I have Donuts from yesterday in the fridge and some milk , oh and vodka." He picked the clear bottle.
"umm donuts and Vodka it is." She sat on the counter. He nodded taking out the donuts box, "So, what's going on with little Miss gilbert."
She rolled her eyes at him picking up a chocolate donut, "Same ol me Damon ,what's up with you."
He too picked a donut for himself, "Same old , I mean look at yourself." he Bit his lip, "I mean not that you weren't beautiful before but now-" she took a bite from her donut, "Its safe to say you will call me from now on right?" for a moment she saw regret on his face,"I am sorry Lena, I thought I was doing us both good, maybe it has worked out for you , don't you think?" she shook her head, "Its worked for you Doctor, selfish Salvatore." She was smiling but he knew she absolutely was shooting daggers at him, "I was I admit it." He raised his hands in surrender, "But I did try to check up on you."
She nodded, "I went to the center I used to tell you about."
"The one you absolutely hated." He pursed his lips. "I still do." Elena huffed, "Well that was a sad year, then I met Kol."
"By the way- excellent choice." He said mockingly. "Are you jealous?" she chugged down her drink and he poured her more.
"I am jealous , lets not lie." He took a gulp from the bottle directly, "I mean I had this hot chick head over heels, for an idiot like me and I lose her over being a surgeon, and now she's with another dickhead."
Elena giggled, "You can stop with the flirty comments."
"Oh I try till I score Miss Gilbert."
"Well in that case I must tell you I am going to be in half an year, engaged." She flipped away her soft hair. 'What?" he felt a hole spreading like a virus in his heart,
She broke into a fit of laughter , "Oh you should've seen your face, I am kidding, it's a long way to that."
He sighed of relief , "You have the worst sense of humor woman." She rose a brow , "Why are you concerned, may I ask?" he cocked his head to a side , "Maybe because I am not over you yet."
She rolled her eyes, he inched closer, "I am serious Lena , do you ever think it'd be possible for me to not think about you?"
She slipped down the counter to stand up infront of him, "Don't lie to me Damon, I am done with your games."
"Games?"
"Admit it , I was a game between you and Enzo , you won and then you went on with it. Stefan was right, you obsessed over me, you never cared about me."
He narrowed his eyes, "Lena that's bullshit and you know it , what does Stefan know about us?" "Oh there is no us Damon, it was me! I was alone in that relationship." She looked away from hm.
"Elena that's not fair , not at all, what about all that time we spent together , everything we went through together , each of your panic attacks , everything , I was there for you." He held her by the arms making her look at him, she bit the inside of her cheek, "You made me feel so stupid Damon , so unwanted. It hurt , because of you I had to go to a place which I loathed. What's your explanation?
He pursed his lips , leaving her arms , cupping her small face, "I will explain everything , but just trust me , I never want to hurt you Elena. you have no idea how much I missed you." His thumb stroked her chin, "This guy , I don't like this , you and him Lena ,I don't know- its not like I have time right now , but I wanna make it up to you, give me a chance."
She moved back, "Its not about Kol Damon , its about me , I am not going to give you a chance , you're practically asking me to hand you a hammer so you can hit me in the head with it again." The un expressed agony on her face tore him down almost , she was the first person who ever made him feel this way, whose pain and misery hurt him first hand. "This has Stefan written all over , you and I both know this isn't true , you think Kol cares and I don't? Elena through out all these years , you're what kept me going and lets be honest, you're here , with me , not him there , obviously means something." His voice was arrogant for a bit, her brown orbs were burning into his blue eyes, "What do you mean, i don't want you."
"Think again Lena, Kol's probably looking for you like an animal, you don't want that, even though you believe I broke your heart , you keep bumping into me , because you know you still love me, more than you'll love him." He smirked. "That's not true." She snapped.
"Oh drop it Elena, stop playing the friend game. We both know what's going on, its as simple as lets forget it and restart." He stroked the side of her face, he lowered his voice to almost a whisper , as if it were a secret between the two of them "I'll be better than I was, everything was hard back then but we're right here together , this means something." She could feel his warm breath on her cold cheeks , everything was getting blurry , all she had to do was close her eyes and give in to this hypnotic feeling, "Why are you wasting your time there , when this can be something Elena, remember how good we were?"
She nodded, "We were."
"We can be."
"Everything is changed Damon , I am." She pleaded almost. "So you don't love me, even though I can hear your heart beat so clearly , tell me you don't feel it."
"I don't know." She frowned, "I just know that you aren't right for me, i did love you and I have felt so much pain , I remember so much hurt." She tried to push him but he held her tighter, "I will make up for it Elena. God , this is so forward , I do care about it Lena , I care about you so much, I thought about coming back over and over , the first few days were hell. I was so used to you, it was as hurtful for me Lena , I was so in love with you, I couldn't even say it." She looked at him with a confused expression.
She pursed her lips, "Stop lying."
"I am not lying Elena , you're the first person I ever fell in love with, far before you did- I couldn't say or do anything but now I can." He smiled, "Tell you how much, show you how much." His hands slowly cupped her face , this time she didn't move back or push him, "I know you still feel it Lena. You push it and try to hate me, but beneath all that you remember me , every single moment when I use to hold you at night, seeing fear wash away with that tears I'd wipe from your cheeks , and then there would be this one second, the way you'd look at me , like only I understood, like I am all you're living for , I am all you care about, you never looked at anyone like that , I'd fell in love all over. Nothing I bet no one has ever shared that with you." His nose was touching hers, her lips had parted , not touching his yet.
There was a violent knock on the door and Elena knew who it was, she pursed her lips , not moving away from his arms, "I have to go."
"You really don't have to Elena." he stroked her face, "All you have to do is ask, nothing is going to be a problem." She shook her head pushing him away from her lightly,
"Elena?" she could hear Kol's voice and then Caroline , "I didn't say she's here , I just told you I saw them together."
"Caroline for the last time leave me alone." He shouted.
Elena fixed her hair, "I cant do this right now." Damon moved forward holding her wrist, "Come on Elena , you don't want to be with him. He's a criminal."
She pulled her hand back, "Well that's my decision right?"
"Okay okay I am sorry- sorry I pushed you to it- but can atleast-"
"I have to go Damon." She picked up her bag rushing to the door. Damon followed her , "Lena I have a meeting tomorrow , can I meet you on Sunday."
"You're busy Damon." She walked faster.
"I am not , okay lunch tomorrow , see , I am not busy- 30 minutes Lena." He held her hand before she'd open the door, "5 minutes."
"Fine, five minutes , tomorrow , not now." She opened the door , "I am here." She tried to act normal, "There was so much noise there."
Kol snatched her hand from Damon's. "So his house is a good idea?"
"Kol he's my friend." She mumbled almost. He pulled her to him harshly, "Don't fuck with me Elena , lets go home."
"What's your problem?" Damon pulled Caroline behind him getting ahead, "Why the fuck do you think you can talk to her like that?"
"Because she's my girlfriend." He spat, "Who the hell are you?"
"Well is she hasn't told you yet, let me re-introduce." He rolled up the sleeves of his button up, Elena warned him, "Shut up Damon."
"I will not-" he frowned , "He wants to know who I am? I am going to tell him if you don't."
Elena pursed her lips , "Why?"
"Clearly, he doesn't know me , I am the first man she ever fell in love with, who are you? I guess Mister cheap rebound." He snarked, "Now that I am back, it's all going to fall back to place so you can fuck off." Kol seethed , "Oh your so dead." He almost launched on Damon but Elena stood between them , "No Kol he's lying. Please don't hurt him."
"Get out the way sunshine, I can easily tear him limb by limb." Damon spoke dangerously low. "Elena before I lose my control, get out of my way."Kol growled. She pushed him back, "No! I swear Kol , he's just trying to get you angry, nothing is-"
"Why are you lying Lena? I can take him easily."
"I don't want you to hurt Kol , Why are you doing this? I already told you-" she turned to him pushing him back too,
"Enough of this!" kol held the back of her hair pulling her to him , "I should have never trusted you, how many others are you screwing behind my back? Are you fucking his brother too?" she yelled from his pull on her hair, Damon clenched his fist, "How dare you hurt Elena?" she pushed Kol away, "Stop it Damon please- why are you making him do this to me, please stay away from me, I don't feel anything for you, please." Before Kol would do anything , she turned to him, "Lets go home, Its what you want right? Just don't make a scene."
"Wait till we get home." Kol warned her dragging her out of there. Damon could not recognize this girl , she was anything but the Elena he once knew, where was she? What did Kol Michaelson do to her? She wasn't suppose to be this depended on Kol or this scared of him, he was sure she didn't love Kol , he wasn't sure if she still loved him, but he knew one thing that ,they both were far from over. He was here for a reason. Four years he took without her and he couldn't get her out of his head, he needed to get her back somehow.
..

..
She was taking of her earrings when Kol grabbed by the elbow , turning her , he pushed her against the dresser, "He was not lying right? He's that guy right? Who drove you to insanity? The one you loved."
She bit the inside of her cheek.
"Answer me!" Kol growled.
Her body shivered with his voice , she nodded, "I was going to tell you."
"Like hell." He said above a whisper, "Why were you with him today?"
She looked down avoiding his bloodshot eyes, she could smell heavy alcohol on his breath, "We were just talking."
"Talking?" he rolled his eyes, "Tell me Elena." He held her chin roughly making her look at him, "Tell me."
She swallowed thick, "Nothing happened Kol , I swear, he tried to kiss me- but you came –"
"Oh I interrupted your little fairytale." he said mockingly, "He didn't try to kiss you did he? You never lie Elena , but right now you're lying to me, you were going to kiss him right?"
She stayed quiet, just looking at his crazy angry eyes, Damon's eyes were so warm , not like these at all. So warm , so understanding. "Tell me."
Her head moved in the slightest nod. Before she'd take the next breath , she felt a huge painful blow to her face , her body swung forward towards the bed's end. She looked up at him holding her stinging cheek, at tears pooled in her eyes, "I am sorry Kol."
"You're sorry that I found out Elena , I don't know what I did to deserve this Elena. You have destroyed me , Damon wouldn't give up his job for you would he? Oh wait , he ditched you for it, I accepted you Elena." he held her arm making her stand up, "I accepted you despite the fact that you're a psycho bitch, the fact that you get naked every day for work, and he's still the first choice? He doesn't love you Elena." he seethed. By now she was breaking into heart wrenching sobs, "Oh he doesn't care about anything Elena , but of course you do, you'll let him fuck you over and come crawling back here when he finds something better to leave you for- the choice is yours Elena."
She nodded, "I am sorry Kol , I am , I don't know what came over." Her entire body shivered as she talked , "Just please don't be mad."
Her eyes were wide this night as she slept in Kol's arms , she turned away from him when she couldn't look at him anymore, it made her cry, even though her body were so close to his , she felt all alone , alone like she felt the first time she was in her bed when Damon left , tears were running down her eyes, every moment from the night replayed in front of her eyes, she felt horrible that he was on her mind, even though Kol's harsh words seemed true to her , Damon would never choose her over anything , at least kol loved her despite everything wrong with her, she sat up touching her chest , her heart was beating so hard, it was just the thought of him , Damon was right, she wasn't over him , she still felt what she felt, but she didn't trust him. She was never going to probably.

"He hit her?" Stefan couldn't believe this , he got up the couch when Caroline told him, "She's still with him? What the fuck is wrong with her?"
"I don't know, it was over Damon" Caroline huffed, "They fought outside his place last night."
Stefan almost growled, "I told Damon to stay away, why is it that everyone does what I tell them not to?"
Caroline nodded, she too had spent two hours at Damon's place last night, convincing him to keep his cool, "What are you going to do?"
"Tell him, he should know whatever the hell he's causing."
"Its not his fault." Caroline protested, "Why aren't we blaming Kol?"
"Because Elena is with Kol and not him, why doesn't he accept it already?" Stefan dialed up a number on his phone , Caroline shrugged, "You've lost your mind."
"Hello Doctor Salvatore." Stefan said in a low warn almost. Caroline could hear Damon's voice from the speaker, "Stef, I cant talk I am in a meeting."
"Oh there is no conversation Damon , Doctor Michaelson hit Lena last night, I hope you realize that causing problems in her relationship is only going to hurt her , which I hope you don't want."
"Are you serious?" his voice sounded tense, "He hurt Lena?"
"Damon look-"
"Stefan what is wrong with you? How can you call me with this bullshit, listen , lets go and get Elena." it sounded like he was already up to go. "Damon-"
"I'll stay away from her but don't her be with that Monster- come on Stefan , she's your best friend." He said it as if it was the most obvious thing, "Text me the place, lets get Elena back."
