Elena's POV

I was awake all night long trying to figure out my feeling for Stefan and my feelings for Damon. I wasn't sure what to think about Damon. I mean I didn't know weather he was just using me or if he really meant it when he kissed me. I had to talk to him. I got up quietly so I wouldn't wake Stefan. I got dressed and made my way down stairs and out the door of the boarding house. Sure enough Damon's car was parked in the shed. He was no where to be found though. He wasn't in his car and I he was no where in sight.

'Damon.' I projected the thought as far as I could. I knew that if he was near by then he would surely hear it.

'Elena? What is it?' Damon replied almost immediately. He sounded slightly worried.

'Everything is fine I just need to talk to you. Figure some things out.' I thought back.

'I will be there in just a minute hang on.' Damon replied. This brought a smile to my lips. I couldn't wait I knew when i saw him again I would be back under his spell.

About a minute later I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to find Damon standing behind me. It was still dark out but I could see his perfect features. He was truly flawless.

"What is it?" Damon asked sounding a little bit guarded. Maybe I had hurt him earlier.

"Damon I didn't mean to hurt you earlier I just don't understand some stuff I right now. I need to get crap sorted out." I explained.

"Elena don't worry about me I am a big boy and I think I can handle myself. What is the stuff you don't understand?" He asked still trying to avoid the fact that he was shying away from me.

"I love you but I am not sure if you really love me back. I just keep thinking maybe I am like all the other girls. I think maybe he is hypnotizing me like he does with all the other girls. I need you to tell me if I am Damon. You have to tell me the truth. I have to be able to trust you Damon." I explained getting right to the point.

"Elena I really do love you. That is why I was shocked when you told me to leave with Stefan I thought you didn't want me. You will never be any normal girl to me Elena. You are like a goddess to me. Every time I see you I fall back in love with you." Damon replied. I looked into his eyes as he said this and every word seemed to show through them. I knew that I could trust Damon and that I really did love Damon. I knew he would always be the one to protect me and he really did love me.

"Thank you Damon." I said hugging him tightly. I caught him off guard by hugging him but he soon loosened his muscles and returned me hug.

"There is nothing to thank me for I am just telling the truth Elena." Damon whispered into my hair.

Stefan's POV

When I turned over to put my arms around Elena I found an empty bed beside me. Where could she be? Damon..... He had taken her I should have known he was planning something. I had to find them. I got dressed and ran to the window to see if I could see anything. And I did. Just below my window I saw Elena with her arms wrapped around Damon and Damon with his arms wrapped around Elena. Damon's face was buried in Elena's hair so he didn't notice me.

I just stood there for a few seconds. I don't understand how could Elena do this? There must be a better reason I thought. Maybe something happened to Elena and Damon had was trying to calm her down. I had to go see what was going on.

I ran down the stairs and outside barefooted and shirtless. It was a nice night out. When I was standing in the driveway I found Elena and Damon were talking now. They still were walking very close but the had stopped holding each other. Maybe I should just see what they are talking about before I go blaming Elena and Damon for anything. I changed into a crow like Damon always did and flew over their heads.

"Elena I just don't understand what is going on. I know you are Stefan's but I really do love you." Damon confessed. I am surprised he even remembered me.

"I am not owned by Stefan. He is my boyfriend at the time." Elena explained. The 'At the time part' put a doubt in my mind. I know that I didn't own Elena but I still loved her.

"I know that but I know you love him. I understand if you pick him. I won't bother you two for it I just want you to be happy." Damon promised. He really did love her didn't he? He would never promise that to anyone else.

"Damon that is the think. I'm not sure if I want to be with you or Stefan. I wish I knew but for some reason the answer won't come to me." Elena whispered in a sad voice.

"Maybe this will help." Damon smiled before he kissed her. Elena was my girlfriend not his. This made me mad. I flew down lower and changed back into myself before hitting the ground.

I ran right over to Damon and pulled him away from Elena I threw him into a near by tree. I knew it was a dumb move. I had caught Damon off guard but when he knew what was coming he could fight me off.

"Stefan no!" Elena screamed at me. She didn't want me to hurt him. She loved him back. This hurt me she loved him.

"Elena." I whispered and my voice cracked before I ran off into the woods I couldn't bare to see or hear them together.

Tear streamed from my eyes as I ran. I can't believe that Elena would do this to me. With my brother none the less. When I knew I was far enough away so they wouldn't find me I sat on a bolder. It broke my heart to see Elena kissing him. She liked it she loved him.

Damon's POV

One second I was kissing Elena and the next I was being thrown against a tree. I felt the impact. It stung a bit but I got up quickly I saw Stefan Standing in the clearly for about ½ a second before he ran into the woods. After Stefan left Elena was at my side in a second.

"Damon are you alright?" She asked as she tried to push me to sit. I let her and sat down softly on the grass.

"Elena I am fine." I promised. She seemed to forget I was a vampire but then I figured out why she seemed so worried. The place I had hit the tree had a short pointed branch sticking out of it. I could smell my own blood.

"Damon lay down. It will be alright." She comforted me as I lay on my stomach so that she could see the wound in my back. "I think I can try and heal it." she said as she placed her hands softly beside and over the wound. Soon I began to feel the skin pulling its way back together until it was fully healed.

"That's better." I smiled up at Elena. She looked quite tired it could have been the lack of sleep or it could have been she had used her energy to fix me or even a little bit of both. "Come on lets get you somewhere you can get some sleep." I said as I picked her up and carried her back to my car. I didn't trust Stefan around her right now. After the way he had attacked me I wasn't sure what he would try to do to Elena. She was asleep before we were all the way to the car. I put her in the back seat so she had the most room. I sat in the drivers seat and reclined it a bit so that I was comfortable.

Later in the night I heard Elena calling my name softly in her sleep. I barely heard her but she seemed worried. I looked into the back seat to find her curled into a little ball. She was shaking, she was scared. I opened my door quietly and got out. Then I opened the door that was above Elena's head I pulled her out without waking her and lay down in the backseat I pulled her shivering body on top of mine and wrapped my arms around her. She stopped shivering a few minutes later. I heard he breathing slow even more as she fell into a deeper sleep. The car was quiet except for her calm breathing which slowly lulled me to sleep.
