This thing could drive her crazy. That was for sure. If it was just an acquaintance, then Damon wouldn't bother to erase her memories. So there had to be more. Something had happened between them. Something important. Could it be that he had tried to kill her? No. Noway. She was certain, somehow, that he hadn't.
Surely he had been drawn to her by her resemblance to Katherine. That must had been the reason why he approached her in the first place. Maybe he had thought, that She was her. But what happened when he realized that she wasn't his beloved Katherine? She signed in frustration as she pulled her car to "the Grill's" parking lot.
Matt looked surprised
-"What do you mean what happened that summer? Are you suffering of memory loss or something?"
-" No" Elena sighed "I know that I might sound strange, but the truth is that I have some blanks from that summer. We were spending a lot of time together. Right?"
-" Well" Matt rolled his eyes "We didn't actually spend a lot of time together"
-"Really?" Elena asked confused
-"Really. We hanged out, but after you met that dude... Well, you were spending all of your time with him. I am sure you remember that." he said with emphasis. "And I know that you had been talking to Bonnie about him. She had felt the need to tell me not to keep my hopes up, since you were claiming that he was ... the love of your life."
-"Bonnie?" Elena asked confused
-"Yeap. I know, that you used to call her almost every day to fill her in. You know... about him. Seriously now. Where are you going with this? Why are you asking me about that?"
- "Well" Elena hesitated " I dont remember... that boy...very well"
Matt widened his eyes "Seriously? How its possible that you dont remember him Elena?" He said angrily and turned his back on her. Elena felt confused once again.
- "Why are you acting like that? Why is it so bad that I dont remember him well? I was sixteen. I was allowed to have a meaningless flirt" she said trying to sound casual.
-"Well. You certainly didnt think it was meaningless back then. Dont you think? He was your... first, after all. I guess that you were feeling something" Matt said with annoyance, looking at her straight into her eyes. " What's wrong with you Elena?"
Elena felt like someone just punched her in the stomach. No... No, no. she was repeating to herself. But... Matt was her first. Wasn't he? Apparently not! But she.., She felt her head spinning and collapsed into the first chair that came her way.
- "Elena are you alright?" Matt asked and she just nobbed. It could not be Damon. Could it be? She had an affair with him? This was not what she expected to find out. She had to know though. She had to know everything. She was going to get to the bottom of that.
-"Thanks Matt" she whispered, got up and left before her friend could say another word. She took her phone out and dial Bonnie's number.
Her friend picked up a few second later.
-"Hey Elena. What's up?"
-"Bonnie" she said almost desperately and felt the tears welling up in her eyes.
-"Elena? What is going on?" Bonnie asked with concern
-"Tell me about the boy that I have met the summer of 2008"
-"What?" Bonnie asked confused
-"Please just tell me about him" Elena replied breathless
-"There is not much to tell. I never met him. Remember? I was away with my gram. And though you had told me that you had some pictures of him, you never showed them to me".
-"Continue" Elena said
-"I was a little worried about you and him. He was mysterious and older, so to be honest, I was kind of glad when you called me crying and told me that he was going to leave from Mystic Falls. And then, a few days later, when I asked you what happened with him and you replied "With whom?", I decided to leave it like that. It was obvious that you wanted to forget him, so I ve never asked you again".
Elena felt her head spinning again. "What else?" she requested, her voice barely coming out of her throat.
-"What do you mean what else?" Bonnie asked
-"Please". She practically screamed and then she took a deep breath. "I am sorry" she apologized "Its Just that... I want to know everything. What I have told you about him. How did I meet him? What was his name? Everything"
-"Actually, its strange now that I am thinking about it, but you never told me his name. When I asked you, you said "well, lets call him "Apollona" The Greek God of light and beauty." Anyway. The truth is that you didn't share many details about this relationship with me. You were going on and on about how much in love you were and that you had the time of your life with him, but the details… We were supposed to talk about everything when I would return… Elena. Please". Bonnie begged "Tell me what is going on"
-"I think that… this boy… this man was… Damon" Elena said breathless and she didn't hear anything from the other side of the phone, for a few seconds.
-" Oh, my God" Bonnie finally whispered.
-"I have to go" Elena said and ended the call, before Bonnie had the chance to reply. She opened her car's door, sat in driver's seat and put her hands on the wheel. She let a deep breath out and she started crying. She cried until she felt that she had no tears left.
She was thinking what Bonnie had told her again and again when, suddenly something hit her mind. Pictures! She said to herself. Bonnie said that I had pictures of him… She started the engine and drove her car away from "the Grill"
Damon was in shock. Elena heard them. She heard that they had met before. She knew..
-"This is your fault" Stefan screamed and Damon turned to him in surprise "My fault Stefan? REALLY? Your insecurity did that. Dont blame me for your weakness. You just had to know! You had to ask about it! Again and again. Why couldn't you just let it go? Elena would never knew, but you were afraid. You were afraid and you ruined everything".
-"I wont let you destroy my relationship with Elena" Stefan hissed behind his teeth.
-"Well, that was not my intention, dearest brother. And why would I need to do that? You are doing a fine job yourself" Damon said and shut the door behind him. I have to find her. He thought and walked on to his car.
