"I need someone to explain to me what is going on." I ordered immediately after walking to the boarding house. Bonnie stood quietly behind me watching Stefan's face turn to stone.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan tried to act confused.

"Yeah, it's too late for that Stefan, we have to tell her." Bonnie protested walking from behind me. Stefan locked eyes with Bonnie as if they were having a silent conversation. He then finally looked over at me and walked until he was standing no more then an inch away from me. He leaned in and kissed me lightly but lengthy. He pulled away and looked deeply at me for a few short seconds and then he spoke.

"You and Damon were together, were in love." He whispered. I took a small step back in shock.

"He turned me?" I asked.

"Yes." He replied.

"Why can I only remember a few things?" I asked feeling the heat of tears beginning again.

He thought for a moment, his brows pulled together in concentration.

"Katherine came back." He answered. A chill shot through my body, I couldn't believe what I heard. I looked to Bonnie for confirmation and got it when she nodded.

"And?" I urged.

"She made you forget you and Damon getting close, falling in love. It was a form of punishment for Damon I guess." he shook his head.

"You knew the whole time?" I asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"And Damon? He knew?" I asked filling with rage and heartache. Realizing now why he had been acting the way he had.

"Yes." He answered.

"Bonnie?" I asked looking over at her wide eyes.

"Yes Elena I knew." She answered solemnly.

I looked back to Stefan. "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you help him in making me remember?" I asked.

He stepped back closer to me. "Because I wanted you back." He answered. Before I knew it I struck him across the face.

"How dare you, Stefan. I can't believe you lied to me! I can't believe you willingly did that to Damon!" His eyes met the floor unable to look at me. "And you!" I turned and walked toward Bonnie.

"How did you know what was going on?" I asked her.

"Damon came to me after it happened and asked me to lift the spell." She answered.

"And why didn't you? Why didn't you help!" My voice rose higher.

Bonnie's eyes began to fill with tears. "I thought it was the best for you Elena. You know how I feel about Damon. It wasn't until the other night when you came over so upset that I realized that ...we just might be doing the wrong thing." She explained.

"I don't care how YOU feel about Damon, Bonnie. You knew how I felt. I can't believe you would do this me. BOTH of you!" I growled backing away from them.

"Elena I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, I just thought was helping you." Bonnie pleaded. Stefan gazed at me from across the room with a defeated expression.

"So can you do it?" I asked.

"Do what?" Bonnie tilted her head.

"Can you lift the spell off of me so I can remember everything?" I asked.

She looked over at Stefan, who nodded once at her. "Yes, I can. But Elena you have to have a clear mind for me to be able to do it. I'm going out of town tomorrow, My aunt has been insisting for months and I'll only be gone for a week. How about I do it when I come back and give you some time to get your emotions down and-"

"No." I interrupted. "No, I want you to do it now. I can't wait anymore. I'm okay I can do this." I told her.

She sighed. "Okay just stand there and listen to my voice." She instructed. She began to speak a language I didn't understand. I stood and listened to her voice rise and fall as I felt more comforted as the seconds went by. Then all the sudden as if being hit with a jolt of electricity my mind was flooded with pictures, words and scenes that had been stripped from my mind. Everything began to fall into place. I remembered going to Damon the first day, our first kiss. I remembered the car in the rain, him burning in the sun. The first time he told me he loved me, the first time we made love and when he turned me. I remembered all of it. My eyes snapped open and all I wanted at that moment was to see his beautiful face and tell him I loved him. I wanted to tell him I was so sorry that I forgot and that I was back now.

"Where is he?" I choked out. "Damon!" I called hoping he was somewhere in the house.

"He's not here, Elena." Stefan finally said.

I nodded and walked over to the couch and sat down.

"What are you doing?" Bonnie asked.

"If he's not here I'll just wait till he gets back." I answered.

Stefan walked closer to me. "Elena, that may not be a good idea. Maybe you should go home and get some rest."

"What are you talking about Stefan! Of course I'm going to wait-"

"I don't know when or if he's coming back Elena!" He snapped.

"What?" I asked feeling a horrible panic rise inside of me. "Where is he?" I asked.

Stefan stood in silence for a long moment.

"Where is he!" I demanded.

"He went to find Katherine..." Stefan answered.

I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out. I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know what to think.

"Are you coming Bonnie?" I answered suddenly wanting to get out of there. I almost forgot that I had given her a ride over to the house. She nodded and followed. We didn't say much to each other on the way home, only her apologizing a few more times. I told her I felt like she had no right to do that but that I would move on eventually. I dropped her off and told her to have a safe trip. She asked me to apologize to Caroline for missing her birthday for her and then she was gone. On the way home I ran through all of my re discovered memories over and over. My heart breaking a little more each time. Why did he go to Katherine? Was he trying to negotiate with her? Was he going to be with her? I thought all my problems were solved only to have it just wrecked again at a different angle.

Salvatore's

(Damon & Stefan)

Stefan sat on the couch with an almost empty glass of scotch staring straight ahead at the wall full of books. He heard Damon come into the front door and make his way into the living room.

"Whoa, your drinking. Must mean your in a spectacular mood." Damon said sarcastically with a sideways grin. He stopped and leaned against the counter and poured a glass of his own. Stefan looked at Damon with weary eyes.

"Seriously man, you look like someone killed your gerbil, what's your issue? Did you eat your therapist for breakfast?" Damon laughed at his own joke and took a pull from his scotch.

Stefan's eyes narrowed as he studied Damon. Something seemed strange about him. He was acting like his old self, wreaking with sarcasm and a general smug attitude.

"She remembers." Stefan replied. Damon's grin never faltered as he stared at Stefan as if he was waiting for him to continue.

"Mmmkay, that's a little vague, mind giving me a little more detail as to what your talking about?" Damon brow raised in confusion.

Stefan stared at Damon as confusion set in. Then he realized what was happening.

"You made her do it to you to." Stefan stated in shock.

Damon smiled and shook his head as he made his way over to Stefan. He slid the glass out of Stefan's hand. "Your such a light weight." He laughed sitting the glass on the counter. "Maybe you should go uhhh sleep that off." Damon said before he disappeared upstairs.

To be quite honest I went on this little detour with Damon forgetting as well just so I could write some of his original in character style for a small bit. Love my sappy Damon but gotta love his characters quirks right?

Please leave reviews it always helps! :D
