Enjoy! :D

Her throat tightened. "Why?" She wiped blood away from her mouth, and there were tears in her eyes.

Damon stepped back, "Because at least this way I know you'll come back alive." He didn't feel great about what he had done, but he felt it was necessary.

"I'll never forgive you." Her voice was shaky and her head was throbbing painfully.

"You don't have to, as long as you live." Damon turned away, unable to face Elena anymore.

"Why can't you accept my decisions like everyone else?" Elena cried pitifully.

Damon whipped back around, "Because I'm not everyone else." He walked so he was only 2 inches away from touching Elena. "I care about you more than you know, Elena." There was a fire in his eyes, a fire that was untouched by guilt. Elena stood there, motionless and silent, waiting for Damon to kiss her already.

"Just kiss me. " The words were on her lips but her voice did not announce them. Without hesitation, Damon brought his lips gently down onto hers. He had been forgiven.
