Damon felt like he'd been punch, out of all the questions he thought she might ask him, that was not one of them.
"What do you mean who am i, don't you know? He asked quietly.
"No, I don't and more to the point who am i?" She shocked him again by asking.
"You don't know? He asked her.
"No, and when I try to remember it's just a blank and my head hurts" She whispered.
"It's OK, it'll all come back in time" He told her hoping he was right.
"And you didn't answer my question. Who are you?" She asked again.
"I'm Damon, you're boyfriend Stefan's brother and friend" He told her.

She didn't know what to think, she didn't know this guy and she didn't know his brother. But she did admit that she got such an intense feeling of overwhelming attraction to the guy that was sitting across from her. Was she more to this guy than just a friend? And if so where did that leave his brother? She was so confused.
Just then the door opened and a guy about her age with sandy blond hair and green eyes came in.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Damon snarled.
"I want to talk to Elena" The blonde said.
"Stay away from her" Damon said angrily.
The blonde ignored him and walked towards her.
"Elena, I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I never meant to hurt you, I love you" He told her.
She didn't recognize him, but she guessed this was Stefan. She found she didn't get the same pull of attraction from him as she got from Damon. When she looked at this guy all she got was a sense of danger, she didn't feel safe near him at all.
"Damon?" She whispered, knowing without a doubt that he would keep her safe.
In a flash he was beside her standing between her and his brother.
"She's lost her memory; she doesn't know who you are or what happened." Damon said quietly.
Stefan stepped around Damon and took her hand.
"I'm Stefan, you're boyfriend" He told her.
She couldn't help herself but she snatched her hand back, while Stefan said her name and moved forward. She didn't think she just reacted and grabbed Damon's hand instead.
"Damon" She whispered again.
"Stefan stop it you're scaring her" Damon snapped.
Stefan took a few steps back and stared at her.

Damon couldn't describe the feeling he got when she whispered his name when she was scared. He knew she was scared because he could feel her hand shaking, when she took his hand after not letting Stefan take it…well he just loved her more.
"Stefan, why don't you come back later?" He said.
"But Damon, she's my girlfriend maybe it should be you who comes back later" Stefan snapped.
"No! Don't leave me" Elena cried tightening her grip on his hand.
Damon sat on the bed next to her and put his arm around her.
"It's OK, I'm not going to leave you" He whispered.
"What's going on here?" Jenna asked as she walked into the room.
"Damon, shouldn't Stefan be the one sitting there?" She asked.
Damon felt Elena grab his arm, he could feel her violently shaking.
"Jenna, Elena's lost her memory, she doesn't remember who we are, or even who she is" he told her.
"What!" She yelped.
"Elena, this is your aunt Jenna. She's been taking care of you and your brother Jeremy since your parents died" He told her.
"I have a brother?" She whispered.
She sounded so scared and lost that his protective instincts went into overdrive, he would do whatever he had too, to make sure she felt safe.
"Yeah, his name is Jeremy and he's 15"He told her.
"I think both of you should go, she needs to rest" Jenna said.
Stefan said his goodbyes and said he'd be back later. Damon turned to look at Elena she looked worried and was biting her bottom lip.
"I'll come back later" He told her and was surprised when she again grabbed his hand.
"Please don't leave me" she whispered again.
He look at Jenna to see what she wanted him to do, she frowned but nodded her head to let him know he could stay.
"Shh it's OK I won't leave you" He told her.
"I'm tired" She said.
"Lie down and get some rest, I'll just be outside talking with Jenna" He told her.
She lay down and closed her eyes, while he went into the hallway with Jenna.
"What the hell was that all about?" Jenna asked when the door had closed.
"I honestly don't know Jenna, when she woke up she asked me who i was. Well you can imagine i was a little more than shocked, So I told her I was her boyfriend Stefan's brother "He told her truthfully.
"It's a little strange don't you think, that she didn't want you to leave when her boyfriend was right there?" she asked him.
"I don't know what to tell you Jenna, I'll leave if you want me too." He told her.
"I should say yes, but she's scared and she seems to want you there, and i don't want to make it any harder on her. So I guess you'd better stay" Jenna answered.
He just nodded and wondered what was going on in that mind of hers, why did she want him there instead of Stefan? Not that he minded, he'd go through hell and back to make her happy. But he had to be fair to her, cause if she didn't remember anyone it was a good guess that she didn't remember about vampire's and what went on.
"I'll go and call everyone and let them know about Elena and her memory loss. You stay with Elena" She told him.
He watched Jenna walk down the corridor, he knew that she didn't like him much. And realized that she must have been really worried about Elena to let him stay with her.
He was about to go back to Elena when he heard her scream, he ripped open the door and bound into the room ready to pounce on whoever was threatening her. She let out a moan, which was when he realized she was having a nightmare. He made his way to the bed and softly touched her cheek.
"Shh it's OK I'm here" He whispered and was surprised when she settled. He got a jolt of excitement when she whispered his name in her sleep. He smiled realizing that even without her memories she was pulled to him to keep her safe.
