Summary: "He isn't as bad as you make him out to be." Elena knew that no matter what she said, Stefan would find a way to prove her wrong, but not this time. No, this time she was going to prove him wrong, by showing him that his older brother wasn't the bad guy, he was just misunderstood. But was it really that easy, she had to admit this was Damon she was talking about, and as much as she thought she hated him, she knew it was fake, but by how could she prove that?

Dear Diary,
I'm not sure anymore, I know that I normally am about.. well to be honest there was a time in my life when I was sure about everything, and that is not an exaggeration, it's a well known fact. Ask any of my friends, there was a time when I was on top of the world, and my high school, I was the girl everyone wanted to be, and the girl every guy wanted to date, it sounds vain now, but trust me I didn't see it that way, no one seemed to want to point it out to me until last night. Last night was a combination of horrible, and amazing. That may sound weird, and trust me as I write down the two words it does seem weird, but that's how it went. I had planned to talk with Damon, to get to know him better, and to see why he was the way that he was, and my plan backfired when he kissed me. Yes I just said those words, Damon Salvatore kissed me! I didn't know how to react-I mean who would?-and I kissed him back, which now makes me feel horrible, because I love Stefan not Damon. Gosh I had to remind myself of that so many times last night that I think if I went insane I would be talking about both guys.
So back to the kiss, afterwards I was shocked, so shocked that I slapped him as hard as I could and stormed out of the grill and drove home. Luckily for m, Jeremy had said that Stefan already left, something about him having to do something, and I figured he needed to go out and feed, he was so good for putting up with my brother, but back to what I was saying. So luckily he wasn't there to ask me about my time with Damon, but I know that once he got back to his house Damon told him about the kiss! What do I do? I never meant for it to happen, but I know that Damon did, other wise he wouldn't of done it.. well I texted Bonnie earlier this morning, so she should be here soon. I don't know how to tell her, I'm scared for one thing, after all Damon tried to kill her, but at the same time I want to tell her of how amazing the kiss was.
It wasn't like any I had with Stefan, no this kiss was.. oh, I don't even have the right words it was that amazing, well I guess I should go. Bonnie will be here soon, and we will talk for hours, and she will then try to get me out of bed and onto something else(oh, joy!) so until later.
Elena
Just as Elena closed her diary, her bedroom door swung open and in walked a very worried looking Bonnie. Elena knew she should of said more in her text to the girl, but she wasn't sure what she should of said, without telling her the whole thing, it was complicated, and she knew that Bonnie may not understand, but then again this was Bonnie. She is the only one that knows Damon and Stefan are vampires, and with her being a witch, well Elena knows she can trust her with anything, their friendship has only grown with these things being talked about between the two girls. It has made them more and more attached than anyone would think, and Elena couldn't be more glad, then she was at this time.
"Elena what's this about?"
Boonie sat at the foot of Elena's bed, looking deeply into her best friend's eyes, it had only been a few minutes ago when Elena had texted her, asking for her to come over, and now here she was at the foot of her bed, looking at the girl in front of her. She was in bed, and it was ten in the morning, something was wrong, Bonnie could tell, and the silence was killing her. She then placed her hand on Elena's, and waited, but before she could say anything Bonnie spoke again, "Elena, you can trust me with anything. You know this, I mean.. I was the first you told about Stefan, and I told you about my powers, so what could be more harm then that?"
Elena took in a deep breath, and pulled her knees up to her chest, before she looked down, her fingers lightly touched her necklace before she looked up again, and into Bonnie's worried eyes. "Damon, and I kissed last night." Bonnie's jaw dropped, she looked ready to scream, but then she composed herself, and looked into Elena's eyes, as if to see if this was a lie, but when she found that it wasn't she was at a loss for words. Her best friend, the one who had told her Damon was trouble, and that everyone should stay away from him no matter what was now telling her she had kissed him, Bonnie needed more than that, surely it had to of been him who kissed her, Elena would never mean to hurt Stefan like that. Would she? Bonnie shook her head inwardly, Elena wasn't the type to do that, and she was wrong to think she was.
"Did you kiss him first?"
"No."
"Alright, well did he do that weird thing that makes you do whatever he asks?"
Elena shook her head, as her hand once again went to her necklace, and Bonnie smiled seeing it, how could she of forgotten that? She then smiled more, an idea had come to her, she knew how to get back at Damon for taking the chance at Elena, and kissing her, but of course she kept her thoughts to herself as she sighed softly and got off the bed. She walked to Elena's closet, and pulled out some clothes for her friend with a grin placed on her lips still, but Elena frowned. "Bonnie, what are you doing?" Bonnie smiled, as she walked back to Elena, and pulled at her hand, as if to tell her to get out of the bed, she then said, "We are going out, just the two of us. We're getting your mind off Damon, and Stefan."

"What the hell were you thinking?!"
Once again the angry voice of Stefan rang through the house, this time he took action, before Damon could even think to move Stefan had him pinned to the ground, a stake in his pocket ready to use, and he had vervain just in case things got ugly. Damon could only frown as he looked up at his younger brother, he tried to find a way to poke fun at this, but nothing came, and all he could do was frown as he said, "You know this isn't comfortable little brother." Stefan growled at his brother's words, and grabbed the stake, he was ready to use it, and the fire that danced in his eyes showed that to Damon, but Damon held his finger up, and said, "I wouldn't do that if I were you. It only ends badly on your end if you do, and besides what happened to talking through things like this, when did it die?" Stefan shook his head, as his anger rose, his hand began to shake as he looked down at the stake in his hands. "When Katherine turned us against one another."
Damon rolled his eyes, and took the moment, and flipped Stefan to where he had been moments ago, and then stood, he brushed dirt from his shirt as he looked down at his brother and smirked. "If you had feed from a human, you would of still had me down. Oh, well your choosing in how you feed." Damon paused, thinking through what he said, and smiled. "Or should I say what you feed on." He shook his head, not pleased and then picked a small knife up, and looked it over, before saying, "By the way, she kissed me back, so if your going to be mad; be mad at her as well."
Stefan didn't want to hear those words. They hurt, it was like living in 1864 all over again, only this time his brother and he were the vampires, the human was Elena, and she wasn't compelled, according to Damon, so she had a choice in the matter. Clearly she had made it when she kissed his brother back.

"Bonnie, I see no point in this!"
Bonnie smiled as she pulled Elena out of her house, and outside, into the world, but the brunette wasn't happy about it as she looked around, before looking at Bonnie. She knew from her expression that she had an idea, it scared her to not know what it was, but Elena trusted her, and for a moment-when her hands were free-she crossed them over her chest as she took one look around the outside world before looking at Bonnie once again. "What are we doing, care to explain that?" She watched as Bonnie shook her head, and a sigh left Elena's lips, she had a bad feeling now, but she knew she didn't need to. This was her best friend, she trusted her with her life, and she had no reason not to let her do as she wanted without questioning it, and yet she still did. Sighing Elena gave in, and she knew that meant closing her eyes, and letting Bonnie take her wherever it was they were planning to go, and so she did just that, her hands were out in front of her, and Bonnie took both with a smile.
"It may end up being boring, but I hope to get your mind off the two vampire brothers."
Elena sighed, nothing would get her mind off Damon, not after last night, as for Stefan, there had been times when she didn't think of him, and it was scary then, but now she wondered if there had been a reason for it all. Maybe she had picked the wrong Salvatore brother, but what about Caroline, would that same fate come to Elena if she had picked Damon? Maybe not, seeing as he seemed so sweet when he was around her, but whenever his brother came into the picture Damon's mood changed, it was all because of Stefan, and Elena began to wonder why. Her thoughts however stopped as soon as she did, and her eyes opened. She was at Bonnie's grandma's house, and Elena smiled as Bonnie pulled her inside, this house always made her smile, and maybe, just maybe it would get her mind off the brothers after all.
Hours past, the two girls had spend most of the afternoon, and into the early evening reliving old times, all the while tears of joy came from each laugh they shared, but around seven Elena realized she had better head home, she had promised Jenna that she would make dinner for Jeremy and now with it getting later she wondered if he had ate. He more then likely did, but still she could never be too sure about him.
"Hey, Bonnie I need to get going I have to make dinner for Jer."
Bonnie nodded, as she slipped her arm into Elena's as the two girls walked out of the house together, but before Elena left Bonnie grabbed her arm, and said, "Why don't I just drive you? It'll be easier then walking and risk running into you-know-who." Elena laughed slightly at her Harry Potter wording, but thought about it, and nodded. Bonnie was right, driving would be much easier, and it was indeed quicker, she got home sooner then she would of had she walked, and as it turned out Jeremy hadn't ate yet so it was perfect.
Meanwhile on her way home, Bonnie stopped by at the grill, and gave the bar tender a small bottle with a clear liquid inside, and told him to slip it into the drink of a certain mane, and make sure that he drink it, within a drink of course. The man did so, and she even payed him to make sure none of it would get back to her, and as she left she smiled somewhat wickedly to herself.
-preview for chapter four-
"Elena, we have a problem."
Elena nearly dropped her phone, but listened as Stefan told her of Damon being poisoned with vervain it had been bad, so bad in fact that he didn't know if he would live, or not. So naturally she asked who did it, and how did he find him, she then listened as Stefan told her that Damon had called him at the grill, and shortly after collapsed, that was when Stefan found him. Elena had to hold her phone with two hands, as she frowned, someone had wanted to kill Damon, and she wondered if it had been Stefan, for what Damon did, but then if it was, why would he help him?
"I'm coming over, don't try and stop me either."
