A/N: Hey everyone!

Here's the next chapter! Hope you like this.

I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries'.

Thanks to my beta, Delovefic, for beta'ing it.

Guest Review Reply:

Guest: Thanks for pointing out the mistake! Yeah it should be 2010.

Sarah: Thanks for the review!

Malin: I also love Forbewood! Then and now.

P.S: In the last chapter I wrote the timeline the story was following was of 2014. But it should have been 2010 instead.

P.P.S.: Spoiler: Damon is 7 in the first flashback. And Stefan is 3.

In the second Damon is 19 and Stefan is 15.

Enjoy!

"Where were you?" Giuseppe asked as I entered the house.

My clothes had cuts and a lot of mud on them. I just had a fight with two big boys. The bad ones. The ones that like to bully weak children. They were teasing Stefan and humiliating him. I couldn't take it and hit them, hard. Then, we started fighting. Of course they won. I was alone after all.

"Father, you know, today Damon saved me from those cruel boys."

"You had a fight? And you lost?" I could hear the judgement in his voice.

"No, father. It wasn't like that. They were big and more. I couldn't." I said, my lower lip trembling.

"You have to join the army Damon!" He shouted,"You can't loose anything! Especially not a fight!"

"I tried." I said, trying to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. I knew if I started crying, he would get more mad. Father says tears are weakness.

"You are a disgrace to this family, Damon." He said and left, carrying Stefan in his arms.

I got myself to my room. I wish father would give me only 2% of the love he shared with Stefan. I don't know why this has happened, but now it has something to do with mother. After mother's death, he has been distant. Only from me. Am I really so much of a shame to look at? But why? I am good in academics and athletics both. No one complains about me. I never understand what I did wrong. I really hope someday I will get to know, and could make it right.

"Father, has demanded our presence." Stefan said, entering in my room."Immediately." He added when he noticed I wasn't making any move to go with him. I could see it in his face that he had a crappy day and didn't want to add on to that, so I got up,"Only for you." I said walking past him.

"Thanks" He said, happy.

"Father, you called for us?" I asked already bored. My voice cold and detached. I had tried, really hard, but I was never good enough for him. I stopped trying after some years, cause now I understand whatever I do, it won't be good. Never will be enough.

"I wanted to talk to you both about some matters that are happening in the town since past few days." He said looking at Stefan.

"Oh, well, that means I am free to go. Stefan you are the part of town's council, this is for you." I said walking back towards the door.

"Damon, sit down." He said in a stern voice. I did as he said, rolling my eyes at him.

"So, what is it, Father?" I said with bitterness.

"So, as you might know, there has been increasing animal attacks in the town lately. I want to tell you something about them," He said and paused,"They aren't animal attacks. They are vampire attacks."

"Damon?" I asked softly, opening the door of his cell.

"I am sorry for my previous behaviour."

"It's alright." I said going to sit next to him and handing him the Blood bag,"I thought you might need it."

"Thank you."

"No problem." After he finished I said,"C'mon let's go."

"Where?"

"To your room. Don't tell me you like this cell more, or thought we were gonna leave you here."

"Well..." He said and I knew he thought we were gonna leave him in here.

"We are not leaving you here."

When we enter his room he gasped. I gave him a confused look so he answered,"This room is exact same as I had in 1846. How it is possible?"

"We can just say your taste didn't change much."

"So, tell me about my life here. What I do all day long?"

"Well, you usually spend your time saving me."

"Why?"

"I usually get in to a lot of trouble. It's mostly because of Katherine. You know every vamp has mistaken me to be her at first." At this his face falls."What's wrong?" I asked putting my hand on his shoulder.

"It's just I can't believe I hurt Stefan like that."

"It wasn't yours to control. You couldn't have done anything about it. She compelled you."

"I am the worst brother! I promised him an eternity of misery! Who does that? I am a monster!"

"No, your not. You've had life times to kill him and yet here he is, still alive. We need to put the past behind us."

"So, what am I like with everyone?" He asked changing the subject, sitting on the bed and offering me a seat.

"You? You are different with everyone..." We talked about hours. I told him everything. Almost. I told him how he was when he came, how he used any human that he could. Then I told him about the 'Time out' he took me on to Georgia. I told him about our dance in 'Miss Mystic Falls'. We talked about everything possible. I told him everything I know about him. I even told him about when we opened the tomb. When he snapped Jer's neck. He apologised. I am really shocked how many time he has said sorry in these two days. I am sure it is more than I have ever heard him say. We both eventually fell asleep on his bed.

I woke up with a gasp. I had a really bad dream. Damon, he was dead. Katherine killed him! I just hate that bitch so much. But then I saw Damon sleeping next to me. Wait, are I and Damon in the same bed? Oh, yeah, right, we were talking about Damon and we fell asleep. I ran my hand through his raven black hairs, they are soft like feathers. He looks so much at peace when he is sleeping.

His eyes closed which showed his long eyelashes. No furrowed eyebrows. A little smile playing on his lips. He look like a angle. Direct from heaven. I am sure he is the most pretty and beautiful person walking on the earth. I know that's far away from the truth. But you know, I really think everything Damon's done, every move that he's made he's done for love. He has proved everytime that he puts love above everything. Even when he was talking revenge from Stefan, he didn't killed him, he could have if he wanted, but he didn't cause he loves him. No matter how much he denies it, but that the truth. He loved that bitch. He waited for 145 years just to be with her. I really imagine what it will be like to be really loved by Damon. I shouldn't be thinking like this. I can't! I just broke up with Stefan! I love him, don't I? Yes. I do. But that doesn't change the fact that have this really strong connection with Damon. I should go. I know being this close to Damon is affecting me. I have fought this connection so hard. I always told myself I have a boyfriend, but now I don't have that reason to hid behind. I don't know what will happen to me now. I was trying to get out of the bed and woke him up in the process.

"Are you going somewhere?" He asked, and I could see the vulnerability in his voice. I know I couldn't leave him like this.

"No, just getting the water." I said talking the glass of water from the side-table and drinking it halfway.

"Oh." Then I climb to the bed and lie on my side.

"I'm here until the very end. I'm not leaving you." I took his hand and intertwine our fingers.

"But I did so many bad things. How could you still befriend with me?" He asked softly after a moment.

"If you're gonna be bad, be bad with a purpose. Otherwise, you're just not worth forgiving. And you have a purpose." We both drifter off to sleep after sometime.
