When she opened her eyes, there was a boy about 15 sitting in the chair next to the bed. He was sound asleep, she realized this had to be her brother Jeremy.

"Jeremy" She called softly reaching out to touch his hand. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled.

"Morning Sis" He said with a smile.

"Morning Jer" She said smiling back.

"Do you remember me?" He asked with a frown.

"No, I'm sorry" She said, she wished she did.

"It's just that you called me Jer, you're the only one who calls me that" He told her.

"I don't know it just seemed right" She admitted with a shrug of her shoulders. They shared a smile.

"Jer, can i ask you something?" She asked.

"You can ask me anything sis" He answered unknowingly repeating the same words Damon said a few nights earlier.

"Do I like chocolate cake?" She asked. Her surprising question gained a laugh out of him.

"Yes Elena, you like chocolate cake, now ask me the question you were going to ask" He said.

"How did you know that wasn't the question I was going to ask?" she frowned.

"I know you, I saw you change questions at the last minute. Now ask" He said with a chuckle.

"I was wondering about Damon and Stefan" She said.

"What about them?" He asked.

"They're brothers, but they seem to hate each other" She said quietly.

"It's a long story, one I don't think you're ready for yet" He told her.

"OK, was I happy with Stefan?" She asked him.

"Well, Yea you were" He said.

"But?" She asked.

"It's nothing I can pinpoint really" he sighed.

"Try" She managed to utter.

"Well, you seemed like you had this sort of chemistry with Damon" He told her.

"You think I was in love with him?" She asked him.

"I don't know, what do you think?" He asked her.

"I don't know, but I feel safe with Damon. I don't like it when he's not here, I tingle when he touches me and he makes me smile" She told him honestly.

"And Stefan?" He asked. She frowned and thought for a moment.

"He scares me" She whispered.

"Well that might be your answer" He told her with a smile.

"I don't know it's all so confusing, I don't remember anything I don't remember them. But I'm supposed to be Stefan's girlfriend but I feel like I want to be Damon's" She admitted.

Jeremy didn't get a chance to answer because the door flew open and a pretty blonde came in."Elena" She squealed falling on the bed hugging her. "I'm so happy your awake" She babbled so fast Elena had trouble trying to keep up.

"Geez Caroline happy much?" Jeremy asked with a laugh.

"Can it Jeremy! Of course I'm happy my best friend is awake, I was worried" She told him.

"Well, she doesn't remember you, and we don't want to scare her with an overdose of bubbleline" Jeremy joked. Caroline stuck her tongue out at him before turning back to Elena.

"Well, then there's the fun of learning and becoming friends again" She told Elena with smile so infectious that Elena couldn't help but smile back.

"I like you already" She told Caroline with a smile. Just then the door opened and Damon walked in, Elena couldn't stop her heart from giving a little leap when she saw him.

"Hello Elena, How are you today?" He asked her so softly.

"I'm better now" She said with a smile.

"I have some good news for you" He said.

"What?" She asked.

"The doctor said you can go home tomorrow" He told her. Elena couldn't have been happier with that news; she hated being stuck in the hospital with nothing to do. She smiled at him, then her smiled disappeared when she realized that she wouldn't get to see him as often.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing, that's great news, I'll be glad to get out of here" She said putting a fake smile on her face.

"Well, we have to get to school, we'll see you later Elena" Caroline said kissing her cheek and hugging her.

"Yeah, see you later sis love you" Jeremy said.

"Love you too Jer" She said automatically.

"Now tell me why the long face before? Don't you want to leave?" He asked after they'd gone.

"Yes I do, I'm so bored in here" She moaned.

"So, why the long face?" He asked again.

"Nothing, oh nothing it's silly" She said.

"There's nothing silly about you Elena" He told her seriously.

"I was just thinking that I wouldn't get to see you as often after I went home" She could feel herself blushing.

"You want to see me?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes" She whispered.

She kept her eyes on her hands that were ripping a piece of paper into tiny shreds. She felt him sit on the bed next to her and her heart gave another leap. His hand reached under her chin and lifted her face to his, she looked into his eyes and was lost.

"I'll always be here if you need me Elena" He told her. She was surprised at how much relief she felt with him saying that.

"Thank you" She said sincerely. Looking into his eyes she felt the urge to kiss him as she leaned closer she could feel her heart hammering in her chest just before their lips met the door flew open. She jumped away from him like she'd been bitten, she didn't know what came over her. She'd been about to kiss him, Why? When she was supposed to be his brother's girlfriend she kept asking herself.

Damn Bonnie, He was sure Elena was about to kiss him, and Bonnie walks in at the wrong time. He could have cheerfully killed her. He knows it's probably not a good idea starting something with her while she didn't have her memories, and that he might be taking advantage of her while she's in this state. And he probably wasn't being fair to her, but he thought that fate had given him a chance to win her heart and he wasn't going to waste this chance. But mainly he didn't want to spend eternity regretting the fact that he hadn't taken the chance and given it all he had to make it work.
