Elena arrived at school and went into the girl's bathroom to make sure her make up was ok. She walked outside and bumped into Damon. She looked up at him, happy to know that he was there. She went to hug him but he turned her down.

"Have you seen Stefan?"

Elena looked confused and started to frown "no I haven't why?"

"I need to make amends with him"

Elena still looked at him confused "why?"

"I don't know maybe because I slept with his girl-"

"Im NOT his girl Damon. Im yours, all yours"

Damon looked at her trying not to smile and walked away and turned around and said "go to class"

Elena rolled her eyes and went to class.

Damon was walking around the school, whenever someone tried to make him leave he compelled them to shut up and forget he was there. He finally found Stefan at his locker.

"Stef" Stefan turned around and saw Damon running towards him. He slammed his locker shut and walked away from Damon. Damon vamp sped in front of him "Please let me explain"

"Go ahead explain to me how you slept with my girlfriend"

"Stefan, I didn't know she was sired to me when I did, she came onto me." Stefan rolled his eyes and tried to walk around Damon but Damon put his hand on Stefan's chest and stopped him.

"Look I get it, your pissed, but I set her free because I promised you Stefan"

Stefan looked up confused "what?"

"Yes, I set her free. She is heartbroken but I only did it because of you"

Stefan's anger towards Damon weakened but he was still mad "you slept with her Damon. I have every right to be mad" and Stefan walked away to class.

Damon just stood there frowning. He was upset, he lost his brother and he couldn't have the girl he fell in love with. He was hurting like always.

Damon went to turn around to go back to his car when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked down to see a stake in his stomach and looked up to see a man with a crossbow. Damon fell to the ground. He couldn't move he was in so much pain. He pulled the stake out but the man shot another one and it hit him in his chest, about an inch away from his heart. Damon coughed as he tried to pull the stake out but he got weak that he just laid on the ground with his eyes shut.

Elena was in her class when she heard a noise outside the classroom. She heard someone trying to speak. She grabbed her bag and she went to walk outside the classroom when her teacher told her to sit down. Elena compelled her and her teacher let her go.

Elena walked outside and followed the strange noise. She turned a corner and saw a man lying on his back and another man with his right arm up in the air holding a stake. She narrowed her eyes and realized the man was trying to stake Damon.

Her eyes got wide and she vamp sped and knocked the man off Damon. The man went flying into the lockers and landed on his stomach. Elena bent down and went to pull the stake out Damon's chest but she screamed because the stake burnt her.

"Damon theres vervain on the stake". Damon looked up at her but wasn't responding when she was calling out his name. "No! Damon please, wake up" She started panicking and took a napkin out of her bag and wrapped it around the stake. She pulled the stake out of Damon's chest and threw it across the hallway.

Damon groaned in pain and then when Elena tried shaking him Damon shut his eyes again and wouldn't respond to her. Elena turned around when she heard the man get up and put another stake in his crossbow. Elena grabbed Damon and vamp sped out of the school.

She took Damon to her house and plopped him on her bed. Elena was screaming Damon's name and was shaking him to get him to respond. He opened his eyes and looked up at her.

They stared at each other for the longest time. Elena went to kiss Damon but Damon rejected the kiss. He got up off her bed and left Elena on her bed. He walked over to her window sill, sat down and pulled out his phone. He dialed Stefan not caring if he was in class.

When Stefan answered, Damon said

D: "we have a problem"

S: "Like what"

D: "Some guy was in your school and tried to kill me. I got away but...barely"

S: "Well, where...where are you?"

D: "I-Im at Elena's house. She rescued me"

Elena perked up and smiled at him. He ignored it.

S: "Fine Im on my way"

They hung up and Damon just sat there staring out the window. Elena walked over to him and went to touch him. He pushed her away. "Didn't I tell you that we can't do this Elena?"

"Then why did you kiss me in the shower"

"because you were asking for it. You hoped in my shower with me and I had no choice because you seduced me!"

Elena looked at him and was starting to get annoyed "well, why don't you believe me when I tell you that my feelings for you are real?!"

"I can't be with you like this Elena. This isn't right. Everything I ask you to do, you do it. I can't take advantage of you like this"

"Damon, I don't care about this damn sire bond. If your asking me what I want, I want you"

Damon looked at her and gave a smile. She thought he was giving her permission to kiss him so she went in for a kiss but he rejected it just in time because he heard Stefan walk into her house.
