Dear Diary,

I just did the most stupid thing possible. Damon showed up and I got drunk, let's just leave it at that…

Earlier that day….

Everyone had gotten their keys to their rooms, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena would share as would Matt and Jeremy. "So what do you want to do first Elena?" Caroline asked, now dressed in a bikini top and jean shorts. "Why should I decide?" Elena asked as she pulled on a pair of shorts. Bonnie spoke up then, "Because this vacation is for you." Elena sighed, "Let's go on the beach where there's a bar nearby." "That's my girl!" Caroline shouted as she pulled her clutch up off of the table, "Thought we lost you for a minute to that broody girl."

Elena grinned, "Let's go." They headed out into the hallway and met up with the guys down the hall. They all walked down to the parking garage and pulled down the hood of Caroline's cherry red convertible, then speeded off towards the beach.

Damon pulled up beside Blondie's convertible and looked around him, it was nearly 6pm and there were people already drunk. Damon shook his head as he pulled his shirt over his head to leave himself in shorts, why not fit in right? He then headed off in the direction of her voice.

Elena was leaving the changing rooms and was headed back to their spot in the sand when she caught notice of piercing blue eyes. "Damon." She whispered. "Why hello Elena, fancy meeting you here." His eyes roamed over her bikini clothed body, making her feel completely naked. "Damon can I ask why exactly you're here?" "Well Elena, you're not the only one celebrating Spring Break you know. I just thought I could you know find a cute little brunette running around already half-drunk but then there's you, Elena why are you here?" Elena crossed her arms over her chest, "To get away from you." "Oh is that right? Well, I'm sorry to ruin your vacation. You have a good night Elena." Damon then walked away, knowing that he had gotten under her skin for the night.

Elena huffed as she changed directions heading for the bar. She sat down on a stool, "Two shots of tequila please." She said to the cute bartender. "There you are." Matt sat down beside her. "Where's everyone else?" Elena asked as she mouthed thank-you to the bartender as he set down the two shot glasses. Elena slid one over to Matt. "Well Bonnie and Jeremy just disappeared and Caroline had met another boy toy." Elena nodded as she slammed back the shot and then placing it back down on the makeshift bar. Matt followed her demonstration as they both received a second shot.

After a couple more shots they were both buzzed as Matt stood up reaching out to help her stand, "Wanna go for a walk?" by now it was way past eleven as Elena nodded her head. The number of people on the beach was beginning to dwindle as they walked along the water's edge. Matt's hands were in his pockets as Elena had slipped her shorts back on. "It's been awhile since you and I got to really talk." Matt started the conversation off. Elena's mind was fuzzy and her vision blurred as she noticed Damon making out in the sand with some college girl as she felt her blood boil. She stumbled a bit as Matt steadied her. Elena looked over at Damon once more to see him deliberately staring at her as he kissed the girl. Elena turned back to Matt and in an act of drunkenness and jealousy; she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him long and hard.

Matt was shocked at first from the abrupt contact, but soon his hands were on her hips and Elena's tongue was in his mouth. Never did Damon ever consider that to happen.

The next morning…

Elena woke up with a huge migraine as she whimpered in pain. She sat up to notice that she was naked and was in someone else's bed. She quickly looked beside her to see Matt lying asleep, his naked chest showing. Elena gasped as she covered her mouth and quickly stood up and get dressed, sneaking out the door quietly. Last night was just a blur, all she knew was that she had about six shots and woke up in Matt's bed asleep.

She started to walk down the hall to her room when she bumped into Damon. He raised a finger to his lips, "Damon what are you doing here?" Elena whispered. "I'm staying her Elena. Don't worry; I'll keep this little sex scandal between the two of us, if, and only if you let me take you on a real vacation." Elena bunched her eyebrows together, "What? No." Damon shrugged, "Fine, but I'll be sure to tell Caroline first, you and I both know how she loves to gossip." "Fine, I'll go with you. Where and when?" Damon grinned, "Tonight and where, that is a secret." Elena grumbled as Damon turned and walked away.
