Elena's POV
I didn't want Damon to leave me yet. I needed him; when he was gone I was so depressed and all
the thoughts of the break up came rushing back. He made my happy when I should be sad.
"Let's watch 30 Days of Night also. How about it?"he suggested.
"For sure. Im in the mood for another movie." I smiled.
This movie was more intense than the first and I jumped and yelled and screamed throughout
it. Damon put his arm around me, and I melted into his side and lay my head on his shoulder.
The movie went quieter at one part and I strained to hear it better when suddenly a vampire
crashed through their kitchen window with a loud BANG. I screamed and covered my eyes. My heart
hammered in my chest. "Elena, are you going to be okay?" Damon asked hearing my irregular heart
beat. "Yeah, yeah I will be fine."I replied laying my head back on his shoulder. I could see a slight
smile form on his lips but I ignored it and went back to focusing on the movie.
It was over way too soon for my liking. "I need to go home and feed. If you want I will come
back later tonight." he offered. "Please do." I answered. "Okay, I will see you later tonight then."
he walking out the front door. I could swear I saw a smile right before the door shut.
I immediately ran upstairs to my room to grab my diary as the door latch clicked. I needed to vent my feelings
into it and get them all off my chest.
Dear Diary,
I dont know what has come over me all of a sudden! I have always thought of Damon as just a really
good friend, someone who will always be there when I need him, you know? But lately that has changed.
I know him better now since I broke up with Stefan. He was there for me and I am beginning
to have these feelings for him. I think I love him. No, I know I love him. So much, but I know the
feelings arent mutual and to be honest it's tearing me apart inside. I thought it would always be
Stefan but Ive changed over the past few months and it's slightly driven us apart. I was happy but
I felt like I needed more.I dont know I have probably gone insane but I just had to get it out.
-Elena.
I smiled as I read the truth that I had so long tried to deny. He would probably never know but the
truth was written. I closed the book and lay it on my bed side table before going to get in the shower.
DAMON'S POV
I walked into the boarding house as Caroline was leaving. "Talk to you later, Barbie." I said walking
right past her into the living room where Stefan was. "Hello, brother."I said while pouring a glass of
scotch.
"Damon, where have you been?" Stefan asked. "Watching movies with Elena. She's quite
a wreck now that you two split, just been there to console her." I said trying to antagonize him.
"She wont be that way for too much longer. Im going to get Elena back." he said determindly.
"And do tell me, How do you propose to do that?"I asked. " We are going to kill Katherine at the
Masquerade Ball." he said simply.
If I had a heart it wouldve dropped. I wouldnt be able to stand seeing Elena being back
in the arms of my little brother. "Well, good luck with that." I said acting indifferently.
I walked straight to the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag with A positive written on the front. I
sucked it dry; my veins were instantly warmed and I felt more intergized.
I couldnt take another moment in the house with Stefan and his ingenius plan to get Elena back
so I went right back to Elena's house. When I got there she was shutting her diary with a smile
on her face, and then she disappeared into the bathroom. The shower started so I jumped
through the window and grabbed the diary from the table.
She would kill me if she knew I was reading her personal thoughts. I wasnt one to snoop
or pry in other peoples lives, but I had to know what had made that beautiful smile appear on her face
for the first time in days.
I flipped open the book to the last written page and began to read. My jaw dropped in
pure shock. She loves me? I just couldnt believe it. Wait, she doesnt think its mutual...?
Oh Elena if you only knew... Is this a joke; some sort of dream? I looked back and the words were
still there.
The shower turned off so I quickly replaced it exactly where I found it and lay down on the bed.
I grabbed up her old teddy bear and hugged it to my chest as I thought of what could be.
Soon Elena came out into her room in some purple shorts and a white tanktop. "Nice PJ's." I
complimented. "Hey, youre back." she said smiling."Obviously." I smirked.
She rolled her eyes before getting into the bed. I couldnt give away that I knew anything.
She snuggled up to me after she turned off the lamp, and I held her close to me.
This was one of the happiest moments in my entire existence and I fell asleep with an
actual smile on my face.
