"Jenna, the brides maid dresses should not be yellow." Elena groaned as she ate a bite of the noodles.

"Walking Bananas." Jeremy laughed.

"Ok no yellow." Jenna mentally crossed off of her list. "Pink?" Jenna asked looking at her niece and nephew for their reactions.

"Ick." Elena rejected.

"Who's wedding is this?" Jenna asked putting her hands on her hips, but she was smiling which was a good thing.

"Sorry I just...Pink is so girly." Elena complained about the color. She wasn't a pink person and really hoped her aunt picked a different color.

"Well we still have time." Jenna sighed, shutting the bridal magazine.

"Don't worry Aunt Jenna your maid of honor has it all under control." Elena smiled. Elena was beyond happy that she was her aunt's maid of honor. Everyone was so glad that Rick finally had the guts to ask Jenna and was going to become part of their family. Even though Ric was her history teacher he was the closest thing to a father figure she had left and she wanted her aunt to be happy and she was with Ric. Elena walked up the stairs after dinner to call it night and got ready for bed.

Lying in bed she was lost in thoughts about her talk with the dean, when her cell phone started vibrate next to her on her bedside table.

"Hello?" She answered with a sigh.

"Hey Elena," Damon said on the other line after getting no response he asked, "Are you alright?"

"What? Yeah I'm fine." She lied.

"Alright you just didn't come over after school so I just wanted to check." Damon said. She the concern was clear in his voice.

"No I'm fi–" She started but as she walked across the room, her foot got caught on the metal bed frame leg, she felt a little scream escape her lips and her phone flew out of her hands. Landing on her elbow she quickly rolled onto her back removing the pressure from her side. The pain shot up to her shoulder and down into her hand tingling. She quickly caught her breath and wiped away her forming tears.

"ELENA! Elena, answer me. Damn it!" She heard Damon yell. Looking across the room she saw her phone laying on the floor by her dresser.

Worriedly he ran to her house at vampire speed and was able to be there with in seconds. Climbing in her window he found her laying on the floor working to get up.

"Elena what happened?" He asked getting in front of her helping her stand.

"I just tripped." She said rubbing her elbow, he watched her wince and then frowned at her.

"What happened to your arm?" Damon asked reaching out to touch it but wasn't able to as she pulled away from him.

"I landed on it wrong, no big deal." Elena said shrugging him off.

"Let me see."

"Damon its really–OW!" She was cut off when he poked her elbow sending a sharp pain up and down her arm.

"Mhm," He said cheekily before returning to his solemn expression as he said "Elena, its fractured."

"It ah– what are you doing?" She exclaimed wide eyed when she saw him bite his wrist and moved towards her.

"Damon no, come on its fine." She said taking a step away from him, only to knock into her dresser.

"Elena please let me do this," Damon asked. In her mind she thought 'If I let him do this I can get him to leave faster."

"Ok fine." She sighed her worries about school quickly catching up to her. 'Drink his blood he leaves me to think and he won't see me breakdown, he won't see me cry. He won't ask me what's wrong.' She took his wrist and drank just enough so she could feel her elbow heal the fracture. Not wanting to drink it till the bruise on the bone was gone she let go of his wrist.

"Drink more, It will heal fully." Damon said looking down at the bruises.

"Damon the fractures healed. It's fine." She said. He took a look at her, her eyes were guarded she knew him too well; she knew he was going to look to see how she really was feeling.

"Damon, I'm really tired." Elena lied hoping her would leave her.

"Ok I get it. I'll be out of your hair." Damon said walking towards her window. He saw in her eyes that something was troubling her but he didn't want to push her. He just hoped she would come to him and talk to him about it. He would leave her to her thoughts and allow her to make the first step.

"Damon, thanks for the blood." She said as he turned around. He nodded and then he was gone. She laid back on her bed and was pulled back into the memory of the morning during 3rd period.

'Ric was standing in front of the class teaching about the History of the government. There was a knock on the door interrupting Ric's speech on the constitution.

"Elena?" He called as he read the little yellow note. Elena looked up and Ric said "They need you in the office."

She slowly got up and grabbed her things. She could feel the stares of the students behind her.

"Thanks." She said talking the note from Ric walking down the hallway the direction of the Dean's office she could feel her heart start to beat faster, pounding in her chest. Walking into the room she saw the Dean, Mr. Franklin, standing at the secretary's desk waiting for her. She didn't know what he wanted but by the look on his face it wasn't good.

"Ms. Gilbert, please come in." He said waving her into his spacious office. She slowly took a seat across from his desk. She could feel her palms get sweaty as he pulled out a folder and got onto his computer.

"How's your day so far?" Mr. Franklin asked.

"Fine, I suppose." Elena said shrugging her shoulders.

"Ms Gilbert are you aware that this is Senior year and its going to end in a few months?"

"Yes sir." Elena said tucking her brown hair behind her ear. She didn't like the way things were going so far.

"I'm afraid if you don't get these four F's up were not going to be able to pass you this year with your class." He said looking at her with a sad expression

"So your saying I'm not going to graduate?" Elena asked barely able to get the words out.

"I didn't say that. I said if you don't change your ways then you will have to take summer school, if you do not get these grades up before the years over."

"What are the classes?" Elena tensed and ran her fingers threw her hair.

"The fact that you don't know worries me greatly. The classes are PE, Calculus, Honors English, and Chemistry. I'm sure if you talk to your teachers they will help you. You may have to work harder after school and have more homework than everyone else but after maybe a month or so you'll be up to date. I will be meeting with them tomorrow to make them aware of the situation but it also might help to start attending the classes."

"I will, I will start working harder. Thank you." She said trying to hold back the tears.

" I will be calling Miss. Summers to let her know the situation."

"No please don't. She's very stressed already trying to work two jobs, I can do this by myself. She doesn't need to stress over this too, it wouldn't be healthy to have us both stressing."

"Elena you know I cant do that." Mr. Franklin said eyebrows raised..

"Please she doesn't need to know. She's already been having trouble lately. She doesn't need more to worry about."

"Fine but if I don't see improvement in two weeks I will be telling her."Mr. franklin said with a sigh Elena was just glad they liked her enough to give her a chance.

"That understandable thank you, so much."

Elena broke out of the flash back and fell back onto her bed and cried.

At the Grill, Damon sat alone at the bar drinking a bourbon. Something was up with Elena but she wasn't sure what it could be. He couldn't help but think it was him. But the only thing he did was that night a couple nights ago, when she got beyond wasted and took her to bed. Maybe she didn't believe him when he told her nothing happened. Did she really think that he would take advantage of her? He wouldn't do that to her not now, maybe when he first got to Mystic Falls. Or she could be mad when he took her towels and clothes when she got in the shower. No she couldn't, she knew he was just messing around, didn't she?

"Is anybody sitting here?" A girly voice asked. He looked over to see a easy looking red head.

"Only if you sit there." He smirked.

"Don't mind if I do." She smiled tossing her red hair over her left shoulder, making her throat visible. 'She makes it too easy.' Damon took in her pink skin tight skimpy shirt with her black bra poking out of the top, her black super short tight shorts and her black heels. She looked easy enough all he could think about was biting her and taking her home. He hasn't had a good one night feed in a while. Just as he thought of taking her home and all the things he could do with her, a pair of brown doe eyes popped into his head. He groaned inwardly and sighed. He wouldn't do that. But one bite wouldn't hurt.

"Can I get a round of shots over here." Damon asked the bartender.

"Coming right up." He said and within a minute the bartender returned with 10 shots, Damon and the girl, Lisa started at them. By the 6th she was already getting tipsy and all Damon could think was 'My Elena could do better- wait did I just call her mine? No that's not right she not mine, not yet anyway..." He smiled at his other thoughts and drank another shot before compelling Lisa and headed towards the door with an arm around her waist supporting her up.

"You're not going to scream, you will not be afraid." Damon compelled before sinking his teeth into her pulsing neck.
