Damon POV
When I walked through the door I saw the fear in her eyes. I thought when she saw me this would calm her down a little bit just to show there was no huge danger. Other than me of course. But when that look didn't fade I figure out what she was scared of. She thought I had tricked Stefan she thought I had lured him into the woods and killed him.
I understand why this thought would have come to mind. Even I had thought of this but I just hadn't followed through with it.
"Calm down. Everything is fine it was just a member of our family visiting. Stefan is fine they are just catching up. I came to make sure that you were alright and not having a heart attack." I gave a little chuckle to prove my point that I was safe.
Her eyes softened as she moved from the bed she came over to stand in front of me. She just stood there not saying anything for a good minute or so. She just looked up into my eyes. She looked like a little innocent child in her tattered old nightgown.
"Thank you Damon." She whispered like she had last night.
"Don't worry about it Stefan is my brother I of course would have went and gotten him eventually anyway." I confessed. Of course I would have but I would never admit it to anyone else but her. Stefan was my brother I would not let him die and sure I guess I loved him... but no one else was to know that.
"I wasn't talking about that Damon. Well I guess it kind of includes that. I can see that you would do anything for me. I can tell that you would die for me. Like now you came here to see if I was OK." Elena explained.
Elena's POV
I could tell Damon was in shock from what I had said. He had only expected me to know that he had saved Stefan for me but I knew that like last night that look in his eyes when I cried. I could have swore that he was going to cry himself. I notice this just before he pulled that smile into place to hide his true self again. Damon Salvatore would always be a mystery to me. He was never a bad mystery though he was one of the those mysteries that would lure you towards him.
I had been fighting this for so long and I couldn't stop myself now. I was so close all I had to do was...
Damon's POV
SHE KISSED ME! Elena had really just kissed me! Her lips pressed lightly against mine. I had drempt of this moment but I have never thought it would be the blissful. My arms slowly wrapped around her as her arms wrapped behind my neck. The kiss seemed to never end. Not that I was complaining in any way. Finally when we pulled apart she looked deep into my eyes. Her gaze made me feel like she could see into my heart and just tell how much I longed for her.
"Elena what was that for?" I asked slightly confused by the instant kiss.
"I know you like me and I like you back Damon." Elena explained this as though it was the most normal thing ever.
"Then why are you with Stefan if you are really in love with me?" I asked still not getting what was going on in this girls mind.
"Because it has been recently that I have began to have feelings about you Damon." Elena explained with a smile touching her soft lips.
"So you have fallen for the bad boy have you? Tired of my weak little brother?" I laughed. I said I loved him I didn't say that I was his biggest fan I mean you can't choose your family can you?
It was at about this time Stefan walked through the door. He didn't seem to know what was going on which proved he wasn't listening in on our conversation.
Stefan's POV
When I walked through the door to my room I found Damon and Elena standing in the middle of the room watching each other. So this is where Damon has run off to. If he had done anything to her I would kill him. She seemed as though she was OK and as though she actually had wanted to talk to him. As soon as they saw me in the door way they pulled away acting like nothing was going on. But knowing Damon there was always something going on.
"Hey guys." I said as I looked at them trying to read what was going on. It was probably just me being paranoid I guess. I am sure Elena would never do anything with him. She was the kind of girl to stick with a sane guy. She knew how dangerous and crazy Damon was. She loved me.
Elena's POV
Who did I love? Damon or Stefan? They were brothers and I didn't want to lead one of them on when I loved the other one. That kiss with Damon had stopped my heart maybe that was just because he wanted me to feel that way like he did to all the other girls. That was it he had used his powers to make me feel the way I did. He did this to steal me away from Stefan.
"Damon I think it is time for you to go." I suggested getting mad at the idea of Damon using me to get to Stefan. This had to be the reason Damon had been acting so sweet lately. He wanted me to fall into his little trap. I now saw that it was a bad idea to have kissed him. I loved Stefan not the lying brother Damon.
Damon looked a little shocked at me telling him to leave but I was not going to be another one of his girls that was going to beg him to stay. Surprisingly he listened to me though he didn't say another word he just left.
"What was that all about?" Stefan asked me as he lead me back to bed an pulling the blanket over himself and I.
"Nothing just Damon being Damon. Scheming of course, nothing unusually." I explained hoping Stefan wouldn't ask anymore questions. He didn't. Must have know something had been going on but he never asked about what it was. He was quiet as he held me in his arms. If only these were the arms I wanted to be held by.
Damon's POV
Elena had pushed me away. Why? At first she seemed like she liked the kiss I mean she was the one that kissed me not the other way around. Than she just told me to leave. This made no sense, first she kisses me and then she is mad at me. Elena Gilbert would always be a mystery to me. Being turned away by her had hurt me. She didn't know how much I really felt for her. She thought oh I am just another one of Damon's girls that he likes to mess around with. But she really wasn't. Elena was the kind of girl that made my heart stop beating. I wanted to be the hero just for her.
'Damon get back here' I heard Violet yell with her mind.
'Violet it is best you leave me alone right now. I am in no mood to put up with anyone even you.'
I growled back.
'Damon I know you are falling in love with her. I know what happened. I know it hurts to have your heart messed with just please let me talk to you.' Violet begged.
This stopped me in my tracks. I just stood there and if you looked close enough you could see one single tear slip down my face before I quickly wiped it away. Violet was there in about 2 seconds she knew that I wouldn't have stopped for anyone else.
"Damon it will be OK. She doesn't hate you she just doesn't understand that you actually love her. She thinks that she is like all the other girls. I know she isn't but it is just hard for her to understand." Violet explained quickly she knew if she messed around too much I would be off and running and there would be no stopping me this time.
It made me want to scream. Violet understood this why couldn't Elena get the same point. I knew Violet understood me but I wish that she could just prove this to Elena. I really did love Elena and I wanted her to myself. I guess I would just never have my happy ending. I was sure this was just karma coming back to get me.
Hey everyone I know it is still kinda short but I am working on making them longer and longer. I of course had to show that Damon does have a soft side to him that Elena just doesn't get. As always I love to hear what you guys have to say so please review and tell me what you think. This just pushes me to get more chapters out for you guys. Hope you guys liked it. I will try to get the next chapter posted as soon as possible. Thanx for reading guys!
