A/N: (Please read as it is very important..)

The chapter 8 is up! and I know it's been forever and I really really really am sorry for making you wait. Things don't always run so smooth, do they.. but I'm trying to give you my best anyway, ohh! and one more thing that you should probably know.. English is not my 1st language and I do apologize if you find some grammatical errors, I just really want to spill what's inside of my head and share it with you all.. That is one of my way to make my day and I'd be happier for you to read and review my story.. so THANK YOU guys, you have no idea what that means to me.. :)

btw, I've seen the latest eps of TVD, I just gotta say DELENA! okay, you know what happened there so I don't need to say anything else about the cute couple and I feel pity for Klaus, he just doesn't wanna be alone after all, well, nobody wants to be alone, even Klaus and that is his humanity.. :'( though I still hate him for trying to kill Damon (again), but we shall just wait and see for another mystery of Klaus..and Michael (who is still a vampire and also a vampire hunter, huh...) 0.0

A'ight, without any further ado, I present Chapter 8 of I'm Sorry, I Love you: Cruel Intentions

Enjoy it!

Previously...

In the distant, a woman with a black hat was watching Elena and Bonnie while also listening to their conversation. She got enough information and soon she dialed a number.

"I've seen enough, you did a good job.."

"It's done, we're even now... I don't owe you anything"

"No, you don't.."

and she hang up the phone.

Katherine was back at the boarding house after giving a company for Stefan. She dropped herself on a comfortable couch and slowly let her eyelids dropped. It'd been a crazy week since she'd been captured and locked up alive in the tomb. It was horrible and she'd swore she'd do anything not to be inside of it again. For a week she was left to starve and her skin had started to dry due to the lack of the blood, her body was all hurt, she was screaming in pain but no one had heard her. Well, thanks to Damon for locking her up without mercy, she had begged him not to seal her but he did it anyway.

"I see you've got out..." a voice had woken her up 'caused her to jump and stood to see her enemy.

She let her guard down soon after she knew who it was. "Yep, alive and kicking! Thanks to your ex I suppose.."

Katherine walked toward the tray where a bottle of wine and glasses was set.

"Hm-mm, I still can't believe he shows you mercy.."

"Isobel...Isobel... I don't need any mercy to get myself out of the tomb, you know that's not my style, don't you.." she said as she gave her a glass of wine. She sit, crossed her legs while her back leaned on the couch.

Isobel knew something had happened between Katherine and her ex, she just had not figured it out yet and now, she was about to dig deeper about her ancestor's plans.

"Yes, I do but he takes part of your little freedom... am I right?"

Katherine had a rigid smile, she was now disturbed by her presence but she couldn't let her go just yet. Well, someone's after something, she thought.

"So, is there any news that I need to know?"

"At the moment, there isn't but I'll keep you update for sure.."

"So, I've seen you visit the other Salvatore, how's he doing? He's still alive, isn't he.." she bottomed up the wine and walked back toward the tray to refill it up.

"Well, barely, if that's what you mean.."

She turned around to face Isobel. "I don't see any point why's somebody wants him alive, I mean he's the only reason why the number of population in this town is decreasing, not to mention he'd tortured and killed Elena's friends and brother.. and don't forget he locked me up in the tomb.." she swallowed the liquid in one gulp.

"Well, as the news spreads, things are changing.. He helps to keep the town safe and he protects Elena, who's still your great granddaughter btw.."

"Hmm, touche, you do really care for her.. I give you a clue, care might get you killed one day-" she didn't get to finish her sentence since Isobel cut her.

"Is that why you don't want to care? 'cauze you don't want to get yourself killed, well, not that I defend myself but yeah, I might do the same with you, but this is Elena we're talking about... I mean, don't you care about her at all..? She has Petrova blood running in her system.."

Katherine only looked at her in the eye, she hadn't say anything.

"That's where you wrong, Izzy.. We, Petrova, have a power to find a way to survive without caring, besides.. that's not us, caring, it'll only bring chaos, believe me, I've seen it before.. to care only belongs to humans" she walked toward Isobel and closed the gap between them.

Katherine extended her hand to hold Isobel's chin and forced her to look at her.

"You don't say that you turn your switch on, huh... Look at those beautiful eyes, I can see something in there.."

"You wouldn't know.." and with that Isobel walked out.

You have no idea what you're facing, Isobel...

Grabbing Damon's hand, she placed it on her cheek and whispered something to make him wake up.

"Damon... It's been two days, how could you not wake up.." she paused and let tears streaming down her face.

"I miss my self service psychopath with no redeeming quality vampire" she can't believe she let herself chuckle, in fact, she did miss the Damon who always tease her. He just knew how to make her cranky and he was the only one who made her life turned upside down, it made her life was so alive.

"I miss those smirks that you always do when I'm not in the mood... I know you hear me.. You're always the strong one, you can fight this, I know you can, please wake up.. Don't leave me like this, please Damon.. Just, give me any sign if you hear me" she extended her arm to stroke his hair, but nothing happened.

Elena never stopped believing that Damon would wake up, though it could be today, the next day or months later. She just can't give up on him like he always does when it comes to her. Within a second Elena felt a movement from his hand that still attached to hers. Elena got up from her chair and grabbed his hand with both of her hands. She was praying Damon would really wake up and her prays was about to be answered when Damon gasped for air. His eyes opened but those were staring at the ceiling and blank.

"Damon.. hey, it's okay, it's okay.. You're safe now.." Elena tried to communicate as she was actually trying to convince herself.

but the reaction that he gave was unexpected. He kept staring at the ceiling, not to hers. He didn't respond anything, only his hand that now was holding hers tightly. Elena started to worry, something had gone wrong.

A nurse came into the room just in time, she placed the tray that full of medication and helped Elena.

"Nurse, please... He just gasped for air, he just woke up but why he can't respond my voice?" she sound panic now.

"Miss, I need you to leave this room and I'll call the doctor"

"No, I can't. He needs me.."

Soon the same man that had given wooden bullets to Sheriff Forbes few days ago had arrived. He noticed that this girl beside Mr. Salvatore didn't want to leave but that was the procedure.

"Miss Gilbert, I need you to leave, we'll take care of him.."

"No, please..." Damon's hand still attached to her hand like he didn't want her to leave.

The beep sound in the monitor increased every seconds and that was the condition that doctors didn't want to be happened.

The nurse announced like it was the final warning for Elena to leave. "He's in shock..he's in shock!"

Looking at the current situation, the doctor didn't have a choice but to detached Elena's hand from Damons and he got some difficulties to do that. It was like Elena was the only Damon's hope.

Still pleading not to be kicked out of the room, Bonnie came to see an unusual view in that room. Her best friend was crying, pleading the doctor not to be separated from him. The sound in the monitor was echoing through her ears, she couldn't stand to watch Elena begging. At last, Bonnie helped the doctor by dragging her out of the room.

"No, no, no! Bonnie, he needs me! You don't understand.."

"No, you don't understand, Elena! Let them help him! You being stubborn is not helping at all"

From the outside of the room, Elena could still see doctors were trying to bring him back. All Elena could see was Damon's body was in shock and they were doing CPR on him, it was the most awful thing she'd had ever seen before a nurse came closer to close the door.

Few hours later...

"We can't just sit here, Bonnie, we need to find a way to save him" Elena was walking back and forth, unable to think clearly at the moment.

"I know, I know, but I have no idea how to to it.. Why don't you just sit down and wait for the good news from the doctor?" Bonnie tried to convince her but Elena seemed lost in her thought.

"There's gotta be a way, there's gotta be a way.. C'mon, Elena, you will find a way to save him!" she kept murmuring to herself and it worried her best friend.

"Elena!" Bonnie shouted at her, she had no choice since Elena started to lose her mind. "You need to sit and calm!"

"No.. No, Bonnie! You can't just order me to sit and calm, it's Damon inside and he's fighting for his life, and anything can happen if we, if I don't find a way to save him! I can't forgive myself if anything happens to him, Bonnie.."

Bonnie approached and hugged her. She was trying to understand what Elena faced.

"Shh, it's not your fault, it's not everyone's fault. You don't get to blame yourself, okay.. He knew what he was doing"

"He left.. he left because of me, because I don't give him a chance.. Because I was too afraid to open myself for him. He was right, Bonnie, I was lying to myself and that's my biggest mistake.."

Elena felt so vulnerable and this time there was no Damon to cheer her and she missed that, she missed that more than anything in the world.

Caroline. a name was crossed her mind suddenly.

"Caroline.."

"What-what do you mean?"

"She can help Damon, she's the only hope.." her mind was screaming why don't her name cross my mind earlier!

"Wait, what do you want with Caroline?"

"Caroline can give her blood to Damon, enough to make him better. C'mon Bonnie, it's like what Damon did to her months ago.."

"Yes, I know.." there was an uncertainty in Bonnie's tone. "...but she's still in New York to spend this entire summer.."

"That is not a problem, we can call her like..right now"

"Wait, Elena, what about Stefan? He's a vampire too, and Damon's his brother, he can help Damon.."

Elena looked down. She didn't even remember when the last time she contacted him since their fight.

"We...had a fight and I-we haven't talked since then"

"Uhh, okay then.. We call Caroline now.."

Elena walked back to Damon's room after succeeded calling Caroline. She was so lucky to have such the best friend in the world. Caroline gladly granted Elena's request and she took first flight by the next day.

One problem was solved and she could tell Damon about the good news even though he still didn't open his eyes.

She was surprised for what she found there. Damon's oxygen mask was sprawling just next to his head and he found himself hard to breath.

Elena had no idea how long it happened, all she knew was she needed to fix that since his face was already pale caused of the lack of oxygen.

She was stopped at the sound of a voice she recognized.

"Hello Elena.."

A dark figure was sitting on the couch but it was too dark for her to tell who that was until he turned the light on.

Stefan

to be continue...
