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

I won't be rambling too long but I have a thought to share. I know you guys probably watching news that a Chinese toddler, Yue yue has been killed after hit twice by a run car and no one tried to help her 'till one trash collector ran to save her (there's a CCTV on the street that caught the action). She was at coma for about two day before she took the last breath. I don't know what to tell anymore, I even cried after watching the end. I was deeply saddened by the news and I just ask you guys to send prays for her. RIP Yue yue.

Okay, enough with the sad part, now, I give you I'm Sorry, I Love You, Part 9: Cruel Intentions part.2

Enjoy it!


Previously...

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


"Stefan, what are you doing?" she walked toward Damon but Stefan appeared right in front of her in a flash.

"Uh-uh" he shook his index finger, telling her not to move any closer.

"You can't do this, Stefan, he's your brother!" she raised the tone in her voice and it annoyed him.

"and that's exactly what I'm doing, 'Lena.." now he called her with 'Lena like Damon always did.

Anger and hatred were reflected in her brown eyes. Yes, she hated Stefan now for leaving his brother dying.

"What do you mean?" she was ready to push him when Stefan grabbed her arms.

Without warning, he tore the necklace away from her neck, leaving her unprotected.

"Stefan, what are you doing?" her gaze moved to the necklace where it had thrown.

He grabbed her arms and looked deeply into her brown eyes.

"You will stand here and don't make a move until I tell you what to do. We'll play little game, 'Lena..." his pupils grew wider as he compelled her and she simply just nodded.

(Elena's POV)

I can't believe Stefan was doing this to me. Not after what we've been through, he was always protecting me, protecting my heart but what he did now..I..he already hurt me.

"Now.. I'm gonna answer your question.. we can start from what I am doing here.." he said casually.

I was hopeless, I'd tried everything to move myself but it was pointless. I was numb by his compulsion and no one can't save me now, not even Damon.

"Firstly, you need to know that this man" he paused and looked down at Damon who was now getting paler in seconds. "...is my brother and I want you to know that I'm doing him a favor, you know Elena.. I just can't see him in so much pain"

oh god, no, please this isn't happening..

For a moment I can see an affection for his brother but it turned to cold in a second. This was the moment I was afraid of. Would he really do that?

He dragged a chair next to Damon and sat on it. Holding his oxygen mask, he looked at me with a dreadful look. Never in my whole life, he gave me that kind of look, the one that made me shiver.

"What do you want, Stefan?" I found myself trembling when I was asking him.

"What I want is for you to stay away from him and for Damon to continue his life in 'god-knows-what-way' and not to be anywhere near you, that's what I want, Elena.. but wait, it seems not that simple, is it.."

"The day when I found out he'd left, I was hoping that he'd really just...be far away from me, from you, from our lives and I was kinda...grateful, that he finally, for once in his life, listened to me"

From the moment I'd listened to this man, I knew something was wrong. Damon wouldn't just leave me like that and from his story I came to the conclusion. It may be wrong, gosh, I was I was wrong, but I just gotta say it anyway.

"You talked to him? did you..did you ask him to leave?"


Flashback

Damon was sitting in front of fire place with a glass of bourbon in his hand. He was aware of his brother's presence.

"Get tired chasing bunnies?"

"Ehh, maybe no, maybe yes, why you suddenly care?"

"Ugh, you underestimate me, brother, I always care.."

"Good to know that.."

"C'mon, spill your guts.. What is it that makes you brood again?"

"You care for Elena?"

"That's understatement, we all do.." he said as he offered Stefan a glass of bourbon.

"Yeah, we all do. As a matter of fact, she's even happier now, considering that no vampires that threat the town but I'm the only person that can see Elena like an open book and I see her uncomfortableness to have you in this town, I mean you're my brother, Damon, and she's my girlfriend and as much as you won't admit it, you care too much for her and that makes us stuck in this complicated situation"

Damon put the glass on the table and he was in disbelieve hearing all of this. As far as he knew, Elena didn't have a problem with him being around.

"I care for her, Stefan, why you sound like a jealous boyfriend?" he smirked, thinking about his brother's stupid action. "You're afraid if history repeats itself, don't worry.. Elena is not Katherine, she knows how to deal with it.." he got up and ready to leave him. "She's strong woman, Stefan, and you worry too much.."

Damon grabbed his jacket and put it on.

"I know you love her too, Damon, and I want you leave this town if you want to see her happy.."

"..and why would I do that..?"

"Because you already knew that your presence will only be bump between me and Elena and I don't want Elena to be in this situation.. So if you care, you will leave us as soon as possible.." with the last words, Stefan was gone, leaving his brother alone in the living room.


"Ask him? I begged him, Elena" he sat up and walked toward me, I was afraid at how he raised his tone in every word that escaped from his lips, but I can't even move. "I was begging him not to bother your life anymore! I know you feel uncomfortable by having him around us and that's why I begged him to leave!"

"No, Stefan! You were wrong, I'm fine having him around us, I mean it's okay for him to stay here, I know what I'm doing, Stefan, I put my faith in you, I believed in you and so did you. You know that I wouldn't do anything to break your trust. It's you that I worry, looking back at your past, finding out about Katherine who successfully torn you apart.."

I can't hold this anymore and I was practically choking but I'd to finish it, hoping that he would understand.

"That moment I realized that I can't be, I won't be anything like Katherine and I had to choose but you take this wrong" I held my head with both of my hand, trying to get the right words without hurting him but there was a life that he put on the gambling table.

The clock was ticking, I had to save Damon before Stefan end it himself.

"Stefan, please, please.. put the mask on"

"Ohh, don't worry, I will.. It's just a game, 'Lena, it'll be over, but before we reach that part, I have an offering for you.." now he was smirking and there was nothing funny about it.

wait, Stefan wasn't trying to kill him? then why would he do this?

Before I could continue he was standing next to Damon and was ready to put the mask back but he didn't.

"I thought I could give him my blood, you know, I've been here for days and I was kind of in pain watching you with him for 24/7, so this might can help my dear brother.." he said as he slid his wrist open, letting the blood oozed from it.

I was shocked! I mean why would he do that after what he'd said earlier about his brother and our relationship.

"Stefan, what are you doing?"

"Relax, 'Lena.. You want him back, very badly, don't you.."

"Just put the mask on, Stefan.." I was begging him now but he seemed wouldn't care.

"Well, I changed my mind.. I think I can let him die like this, you know, never cross in my mind that my brother would die this way.."

Damon started coughing, I knew if I didn't make a choice, I'd lost him for good.

"Stefan-"

"or you can think about our future, that way, you can save him"

I gave him look 'care to elaborate?'

"Here's the deal, I can give him my blood but you'll be mine, only mine, no Damon around, call it sacrife or you can let him die where you'll feel more comfortable around me. How is it? Which one do you choose.."

how could Stefan do this to me? to make me choose as if I was the god who can decide who can die or not? but I had no choice, I can't see him die, it hurt already to watch him like this, moreover imagine the world without Damon in it, I just...can't.

"Just save him, please.."

I can feel my tears running freely through my cheek, at this moment, I didn't care what would happen, I only know that I had to save him.

As crazy as it sounds, Damon became a major part of my life because of his stupid smirk, annoying attitude, his selfless and if he died, I know there's part of me that died with him. I just can't bare to lose him.

Stefan held his wrist to Damon's lips and pushed it to Damon, but Damon didn't take it too well as he coughed when he got the blood.

After a moment of hesitation, Damon was finally drank from his brother's blood. Soon as Stefan felt it was enough, he pulled his wrist away and looked at me.

"I will make sure no harm will come to him for the next 24 hours.." he dragged himself and stand in front of me.

He leaned his body over me and I can feel his breath on my neck but this time he was like a predators who smell their preys, it made me afraid of him.

but I was shocked for the next thing he did to me. His hand reached the back of my neck and his lips finally met mine. He was practically forcing me to welcome him but I tried so hard not to give in, but he won.

"Considering that was a sign to seal the deal.. Now you're free.." he said as he released the compulsion and in a second he was gone.

I was relieved that he was finally away from here, how could I not? he almost killed his own brother and I can't let him do that.
