Elena, Bonnie and Caroline walked into the Mystic Falls Shopping Mall and decided where they wanted to go.

"I think I just want to go get a drink or something." Elena said. Caroline and Bonnie gave her a 'are you serious? We just got here' look. "I know, I'm just really thirsty. I'll meet you upstairs in twenty." They sighed and just walked off.

Elena didn't really want to go shopping at all. She didn't even want to go to the stupid reunion. She didn't want to see him there. Instead of getting a drink, she walked to the book store. Once she stepped inside, she went straight to the 'romance' section. She'd always been a sucker for romance. She picked up a book, which strangely, had no title. It just had an author, whose name she couldn't even pronounce. She decided that she'd get it, just for the sake of having a new book on her bookshelf. She had 94. Now, 95. She walked to the counter and froze in her footsteps. Outside of the book store was the man she hadn't seen since Prom (aside from the benches in her street).

"Can I help you?" The woman at the counter asked. Elena just shook her head, placed the book down and walked out of the shop. He didn't see her, so she saw that as a massive plus. She hid her face in her hair and walked off.

Still as gorgeous as ever. She thought. She mentally slapped herself in the face. She wasn't even allowed to think that after what he did to her.

Elena waited outside her house for Damon. She didn't really want him knocking on the door, and then her aunt Jenna answering the door and asking questions. She wore her hair down, not like she did at school. She'd always wear her hair up in a ponytail. She was wearing a navy blue shirt, that wasn't what she normally wore at all. It had cut outs and it flared out at the bottom. She was wearing black skinny jeans and mini wedged shoes. She had actually done her make-up and she actually felt normal. Not like the weird kid.

Damon had finally arrived at Elena's place and parked right in front of her. "Wow, Elena. You look beautiful." Damon charmed her. She blushed and mumbled a thank you before getting in his car.

Elena wanted to vomit. Damon Salvatore was a speed demon. He was the fasted driver she's ever met. He just laughed at her and kept driving.

They arrived at the movie cinema in less than 10 minutes. She got out of the car and held her hand over her mouth. She wasn't going to vomit, but she felt like it. She felt a pair of arms grabbing her shoulders. "You alright?" he asked. Elena slowly nodded and walked inside the movie theatre with him. They were seeing that some lame action film that she'd forgotten the name of. Damon had literally got down on his knees and begged her to see it. She of course, agreed. It's what Damon had wanted.

After the film, he decided to go and buy her ice-cream. "I had a really nice night, Elena." He admitted. Elena blushed and nodded in agreement. Damon looked into her eyes and lightly pressed a soft kiss on her untouched lips. Elena was mentally screaming. She had just kissed Damon Salvatore. The Damon Salvatore. She couldn't believe it.

"I should probably get back home." Elena said quickly. She mentally slapped herself for ruining the moment. Truth is, she didn't want to go home. She wanted to stay with Damon. Forever.

"Of course" he agreed and they left.

It was a silent car ride home. Elena was smiling the whole way, and Damon laughed at her. Once he dropped her home, he walked her up to her door and he kissed her again. Only this time, for longer than half a second. Elena had never done this, but she followed his movements. I mean, she'd always seen it on television and movies, so she sort of figured how to do it.

Damon cupped her face with both of his hands and pulled their bodies together. Elena's left hand found its way to Damon's hair and she pulled it slightly. Once they broke apart, she tried to catch her breath. But knowing what she just did made it hard.

"Good night, Elena." Elena gave him a small smile and turned around and entered her house.

Ugh, I hate him. Elena thought. She finally caught up with Bonnie and Caroline and they looked at some more shops together. Elena was having trouble looking for a dress because she was too busy concentrating on something else.

"Earth to Elena!" Caroline's loud voice caught her attention.

"Hm? What?" Caroline and Bonnie both rolled their eyes at her.

"What do you think?" They asked in sync, followed by a giggle.

"It looks good." Elena was the worst person to go shopping with. She just agreed to everything hoping that they'd get it over and done with.

"You're right. It makes my boobs look fabulous." Caroline said, checking herself out in the mirror. Elena rolled her eyes at her. "What? It does!" She whined.

"Look, Caroline. You pick out a dress for me. I'm not really feeling in the shopping mood. I'm sorry; I'm going to go home." She was telling the truth. She wasn't in the mood for shopping. She left out the minor detail that it had to do with the fact that she saw the man that ruined her life.

Caroline didn't mind her leaving if it meant that she could pick out the dress. She just waved her goodbye and went back in the changing rooms to get changed. Bonnie and Elena hugged goodbye and she left.

. . . .TVD.

Damon just saw her. Elena Gilbert. Shit, he thought. She is… sexy. He couldn't think of her like that. She was just the weird girl that he played a joke on. The truth was that Damon secretly fell for Elena. But he couldn't admit it, due to him being popular and Elena was the victim of bullying. It started on their first date. Their first kiss. The moment they shared on the porch when he dropped her home. It was… magical. He had kissed many girls, but they didn't mean anything compared to what he felt with Elena. And he knew that she felt it too. It was a weird connection that they shared. He didn't want to end the 'joke' but everyone was suspicious. Elena and Damon shared everything together. They'd often go to an empty park and sat there and spoke about everything. Every drama that went on in their life.

"So tell me, Elena. What's your mum and dad like? Do they know you're seeing the wonderful Mr Salvatore yet?" Damon asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Elena looked down and frowned. "Did I say something wrong?" Damon wondered aloud.

"My mother and father died in a car accident when I was fourteen." She admitted. Damon was taken aback.

"I'm so sorry Elena, I had no id-"

"It's fine. You didn't know." She cut him off. It was silent for a few moments before Elena started speaking again. "I was in the car, you know." She told him. He looked at her, confused. "They were picking me up from Caroline's house. My mother and I, we were fighting. My dad was driving, and when he tried to calm us down, he lost control of the car and we drove off Wickery Bridge.

"My parent's seatbelts were stuck, but mine wasn't. I was able to get free. But, I couldn't… I couldn't get them out of the car. I couldn't save them. And every single day, I think to myself that it's my fault. If I hadn't of argued with my mother then it would have been okay." Elena was crying. She couldn't even try to hold back her tears. Damon pulled her into a hug and wiped her tears away, although more just continued to fall out.

"My mother was murdered when I was twelve." He spoke up. Elena broke out of the hug and looked up at him with nothing but sorrow and sadness in her eyes. "And I watched it happen." He looked down as he said it. "It was a normal day at the Salvatore residence until we got a knock on the door asking for Mrs Salvatore. When my mother walked to the door, they shot her instantly. Said something about my father owing them money. So they wanted revenge on him not paying it in time." He was able to stop himself from crying, but as soon as Elena touched his face, a tear fell.

"I'm so sorry, Damon." She said apologetically. Damon let out a humourless laugh and stood up.

"We should probably get going. It's getting late." He said, looking at his watch. Elena stood up soon after, but no one made any other movements.

Elena stepped closer to Damon, pulling his face inches away from hers. She placed a kiss on his lips and suddenly, all their problems were forgotten. The kiss got deeper and their bodies were pressed together. They had gradually moved back onto the ground, and Damon was hovering over Elena. Damon's hands ran up Elena's shirt and back down again. Damon's mouth moved onto Elena's neck and he was placing kisses all over it, sucking gently leaving small love bites. Elena couldn't help but moan.

What was even happening? She thought. She had never experienced this, ever. She was pulled away from her thoughts when Damon had cupped her breasts through her shirt.

"Damon, stop." She breathed out. Damon had stopped, but he had a somewhat disappointed look on his face. "It's a bit soon…"She said. "Sorry." She said apologetically and hid her face in her hands.

"Don't apologise, Elena!" He said, pulling her hands away causing her to look at him. "It's okay." He said, smiling.

Damon thought about that memory all the way home. He couldn't get her face out of his mind. How did she get so beautiful? He thought. He shook his head and stepped inside.

"Guess who I met today." Were the first words that Damon heard from his brother's mouth.

"Elena Gilbert." Stefan replied.

"Who's Elena Gilbert?" Damon asked stupidly. Stefan rolled his eyes at him. Damon copied his movements. "Okay, fine. What'd she have to say?" He asked.

"That she was really excited to see you." Stefan said.

"Really?" Damon chirped up. Stefan nodded. "Wow… I mean, I didn't think she would after-"

"After you slept with her and made her a laughing stock. Yeah. I heard all about it." Stefan replied. Damon scoffed.

"So you heard the whole story, huh?" He asked.

"I heard enough." Stefan replied, crossing his arms.

"Oh, I doubt that." He smirked.

"She's a nice girl, Elena is." Stefan said, picking up a glass and pouring water into it. "Very pretty." He said before taking a sip of his drink.

"Don't go near her." Damon said defensively.

"Too late. She asked me to be her date to the reunion. See you there, brother." Stefan sculled the rest of his drink and placed the cup down and walked off. Damon felt anger all throughout his body. His brother cannot go to his reunion.

Dear Diary.
I met a guy today. His name is Stefan Salvatore. Yes, he is related to Damon Salvatore, AKA the man who I rant about every single day in this diary. But, he's different. He made me smile the second he introduced himself. I know not to get too close to him. But I just want to be his friend at least. I could set him up with Caroline… They'd be pretty cute together.
No…
I just thought of a bad idea. It's so bad, I can't even believe I thought of it.
I could of used him for revenge. But could I do that to Stefan? He was so kind to me. No, no. I can't. I have a better idea…
I'll play Damon at his own game.
