A/N – Hey guys. Keep the reviews going, as I'm dying to know what you all think. I'm really enjoying writing this story!

Damon's POV

I could of went after him, I could of jumped in front of him to stop him going, but I didn't. He made it clear that I was a monster and he was right. I found the whole conversation amusing until he showed me that picture of the young girl. The look in his eyes shattered me into a million pieces. I caused all that pain and hurt on him, something I never wanted to do, not to Jeremy. If I knew him before I took her life away, would it made any difference? It's in my nature to kill, its my instinct to feed. This was the last thing I wanted to happen, I didn't want Jeremy to know that part of me, which wasn't like me. Normally I wouldn't care. Didn't bother me when Elena found out. I threw my whisky glass out of my hands and watched it bounce of the wall and shatter on the floor. I was so angry, angry at Jeremy and myself. Why did this bother me so much? When did I start caring what people thought of me? I couldn't get the image of Jeremy being so scared of me out of my head. The look in his eyes when I staring into them, normally I the smell of fear off the humans, it makes the hunt more fun. But this, was different, my stomach was in knots and I felt large lump in my throat. Do I have feelings for this boy? No! I can't! I don't have feelings! I thought to myself. But I knew deep down that I did. I cared for him in so many ways. I have to see him! I have to make sure he's ok! I grabbed my coat and disappeared into the night.

I found myself in his bedroom. He was asleep. He looked so peaceful. I'm not normally this creepy, but I just had to see if he was alright. I heard footsteps outside his door, which was my cue to leave.

As I arrived back to the boarding house, Stefan and Elena were in the lounge, my caring brother picking up the broken glass from the floor.

"What happened here?" Stefan asked confused.

"Looks like broken glass to me" I smiled, hiding the pain that I felt.

My brother ignored my remark and continued picking the glass from the floor. I pour myself a drink and sit down.

"By the way, your brother knows" I turn to face the Gilbert girl.

"Knows about what?" her face was now alarmed.

"About us?" I looked at her like she was stupid.

"Oh my god!" Elena started to panic. "what we going to do? I need to talk to him!"

"what did you do Damon?" My brother now at my side with his hand gripped onto my throat.

I push him off me. "why does everyone think the worst of me? He came in here, told me he knew I was a vampire and he left"

"and that's all that happened?" Elena asked.

"Yes" I lied. I didn't want to go into the details, I was sure Jeremy would of filled her in anyways.

Elena said her goodbyes to Stefan and rushed home. Stefan stared at me for awhile, trying to read me. He was terrible at it. I went up to my room with my glass of whisky, I wanted to speak to Jeremy, explain my side of things, but is it too late? Will he ever forgive me?

Jeremy's POV

I woke up about 9pm. God! How long was I out? I got out of bed and headed in for a shower. Once I got out, I noticed my sister sitting on my bed. She was looking at me with this sad look on her face, I knew right away she knew that I knew. I sat at my computer desk, drying my wet longish black hair with my towel. Elena started crying, saying she was sorry for keeping this from me, all she wanted to do was to protect me. She was angry at the fact I read her diary, but understood why I did it. She began to tell me all about them, she told me how to kill them and that vervain stops them from compelling you. She told me about the Salvatore brothers and that they were turned in 1864. all this information was making my head spin, I was happy that she was finally being honest with me. She told me that Stefan eats animal blood and doesn't kill people. I couldn't help myself and asked about Damon, even though I already knew the answer. She told that Damon was reckless and showed no remorse whatsoever, even though it was true, I found myself not believing it. The times I have spent with me, he wasn't like that. He was kind, funny and caring. Maybe he didn't want me to see that side of him? After our talk, my sister went downstairs to order a pizza, she wanted us to have a family night, like we use to. I wasn't in the mood for it, but I liked seeing my sister happy. I went back into the bathroom to put the wet towel in the hamper, when I got back to my room, there was Damon.

"did you just come in from the window?" I was quite impressed to be honest.

"we need to talk" Damon walked past me and shut my room door.

"Elena is downstairs, what is it Damon?" I found myself not scared of him.

"I'm sorry about today, I didn't want you knowing"

"that you're a vampire?"

the Salvatore nodded. "I wanted to keep that part of me from you"

"Why?"

"Because I didn't want you to think that I'm a monster!" he spat out. I could tell he found it hard talking about how he felt.

"What are you saying?" I was confused to what was happening. Did Damon Salvatore like me?

Damon walked closer to me, until I was up against my door. His blue eyes burning into mines. This can't be happening! I thought to myself. I could feel his hot breath on me, my heart was now racing. He placed his hand on my cheek, stroking it, while still looking into my eyes. He gently placed his soft lips onto mine. The kiss was gentle but passionate at the same time. As the kiss got more heated, I took of his jacket and removed his shirt, as he put me down on the bed, I looked into those blue eyes of his and for the first time I could see it, happiness.
