Sarah: Thanks for the review!

Malin: I am sorry that I confused you in the last chapter. Damon was sweet and cute in the previous chapter and almost like himself in last chapter as he now knows how he acted around all of them. Elena did a pretty good job filling him up. ;)

Enjoy!

Previously

"How much is it gonna hurt?" Damon asked.

"It's gonna be like you are a human and someone has just hit you with a car and you broke some of your bones, that much of pain." Bonnie waited for their answer,"So what is it gonna be?" When Bonnie finished telling them about the spell, there was a deafening silence that filled the room. Everyone was looking at Damon, waiting for his response, even though all of them know what he was going to say.

"I am ready." Damon said. What did he said? Did he just said I am ready? No I probably heard him wrong. I look around to see that everyone is staring at him, like it's the last time they will see him. Bonnie is looking at him with a bit pain and pity in her eyes. Caroline is also looking at him with pain. Alaric is calm, but I could see that he is running his mind to think something. And Stefan, he is looking like he could snap any moment. He is looking up at his brother with worry and pain and panic. That all the reassurance I need. I heard Damon correct.

"No!" I shouted, going in panic mode.

"You are not!" I heard Stefan said,"We will find some other way." He continued pacing the room, brooding like he always does. Typical Stefan.

"There's no other way." Bonnie said sadly. Can't she just shut up? I think angrily. I know this isn't her fault. She is just telling us truth, but then also I feel like killing her.

"Bonnie, I am ready, we will be doing the spell today night." Damon said calmly and left the parlour and went into his room.

"Talk to him." Stefan pleaded to me," You and Damon, you have something. An understanding. Please, just talk to him. I don't wanna see him in pain." Stefan voice is as if someone has told him he is going to die. I knew he love his brother, but this is the first time he has ever openly sowed his feelings.

"I will." I said to Stefan and went in the direction of Damon room. When I opened the door I found Damon sitting there with a bourbon in his hand, staring at a point in the ground looking deep in thought. I walk in calmly and the close the door behind me.

"No!" I almost shouted. We are in Damon's room for almost 2 hours and he is saying he will be okay if Bonnie did the spell. I howsoever, didn't agree at all,"How could you think that? Didn't you hear what Bon said?" I am really think I am going to loose my mind.

"I will be fine." He said frustrated from his position near the window. Is he deaf or something? Can vampire be deaf or have short time memory loss? I think he is suffering form some disease else he would remember that Bon said he would be hurting, won't he?

"No! You will be hurting!" I yelled. I have lost it. It;s official now. I have totally lost my mind. I only shout when I can't take stupidity anymore.

"Why do you care so much?!" He shouted, it was like complete 180 change in his behaviour. He was answering so calmly one moment and now he is shouting.

"What do you mean 'why do I care'?! I am your friend Damon! I can't see you hurting!" How could he think I don't care?! Is is out of his freaking mind? If he was human I would have put him in a mental asylum till now.

"I am not a good person Elena. I snapped your brother's neck, for God's sake! How could you not hate me?" He said the last part a little softly and almost vulnerary.

"Damon..."I said walking up to him and cupping his face in my hands,"That wasn't your fault. I know Katherine had said something to you that riled you up. You didn't mean to hurt anyone." I said tenderly.

"But I did. So I deserve to get hurt in return." He went back to his self-loathing mode, that I hate so much.

"No you don't!" I shouted, all the anger returning. All the tenderness from a moment ago, forgotten.

"I am not a likable person Elena. You shouldn't care! I hurt you! I hurt Stefan, Bonnie, Alaric, everyone I know! Now I deserve to be hurt!" He said jerking away from my touch, and starts pacing the room length. If this was not such a serious situation, I would have teased him for copying Stefan.

"You are a very good person Damon. And who says you are not likable? I like you, Stefan like you. I can even tell he looks up to you. He wants to be like you; passionate, controlled." I tell him, hopping this will stop his self-loathing, or maybe lessen it a bit.

"I have to do this Elena. We don't have a choice." He said softly taking my hand and caressing it.

"We don't have to. I will go to Katherine and beg her. Please don't do this." Yeah, this is a good idea. We can do this. No pain required.

"You can't go there!" He said suddenly panicking.

"I will, if it means that you will get your memories back easily." I said in a stern voice. I will not back down. If this means Damon will get his memories back, I am ready to do this.

"You can't!" He yelled.

"I will!" I told him, looking dead in his eyes.

"Bu-but," Damon stuttered,"No, you can't! That's not possible." Damon rambled.

"I am doing this with or without you." I said and started walking out of his room.

"No, you aren't!" He said appearing in front of me. I nearly had a heart attack, but keep my face straight. I know he can hear my heart beat but I don't let it show on my face.

"I can't see you in pain." I said throwing my hands around his neck and hugging him. He stayed still for a moment, his body muscles all tense, but then he relaxes and said,"You won't have to. We will do it far from you." Damon said, his arm running up and down my back.

"No, first, if you do this, I will be there. And second, you won't need to do this." I said and injected him with the vervain I have in a syringe with me. Damon fell to the ground.

A/N: So how was it? Did you like it? Please review and share your ideas! If you have any request, I am all my ears. And REVIEW! They make me write faster!

If anyone is thinking why Damon didn't figured out she had vervain on her here's the answer: The old Damon knows how Elena has this habit of vervain-ing people but new Damon didn't. I guess we could say Elena left that part out.

I know it is ultra short. I just wanna get something out. I had to tell you guys that I am not giving up on this story! And I was also experiencing a bit if writer's block.
