Elena flicked her eyes opened to a brightly lit room. She shuffled in her bed and sat up to see a sleepy Damon resting by her side, his eyes half opened and yet half closed, his head was turned towards her, his hair rugged and he developed a stubble since Elena last saw him and his arms were wrapped around her as if was holding onto her for his life. She had to smile at his boyish way, around people he was a bad ass vampire and beside her he looked vulnerable and weak.

"Damon?" She whispered and his eyes automatically opened as if he was a robot and only worked when you said a magic word. He kneeled up and looked at her with adoring eyes. Elena sat down in her bed and faked a smile towards him as confusion as he hugged and kissed her.

"What are you doing here? And what time is it?" Elena wondered. If Klaus knew that Damon was in her bedroom, or even in the house he would kill him and wouldn't think twice about it. Klaus was like a father to her but only a few years older. Elena stared at her balcony doors as the draped curtains were not pulled and the sun was shining in on them and she quickly picked up with was just morning.

"You're awake, thank god. Its eight in the morning" he said in between kisses that he placed on her lips and cheeks, Elena gave little kisses back as if the two hasn't seen one another in months. Elena kneeled up towards Damon's level and the kisses grew deeper and eventually she had him shirtless and lying on the bed as she was on top of him. Damon started to stroke the back of her neck and his hand fell until it started to fiddle with the zipper on the back of her dress. She broke away from him and looked behind her shoulder where his hand was playing with her dress. She straddled him and then looked down at herself and saw the dress she wore to school only the other day and cocked her head to the side

"Why am I still wearing this?" she wondered. She never slept in her clothes unless it was her shorts and t-shirt as being a hybrid made her never feel coldness but warmth. Damon sat up and looked Elena in the eyes and gave a soft smile and she put her arms around his neck as they held one another. Damon sighed and started to stroke her arm in a comforting way and Elena understood something was going on

"You were too tired to change princess" he lied and Elena rolled her eyes before giving him a serious look. She could tell he was lying by the way he avoided eye contact with her and she grabbed his chin in her tiny hand and looked him in the eye as if she was going to compel him

"Damon. What's going on? Full honestly please" She said firmly and Damon kissed her on the lips and looked her in the eyes

"You were attacked by Stefan and afterwards you weren't well. So you've been a sleep for a few days" he said and Elena nodded her head, remembering that Stefan has attacked her and she couldn't push him away because she didn't have the strength. She smiled at Damon and nodded her head, he was being honest and that what she needed at the moment, honesty.

"What day is it?" She wondered. She had her week planned out and now it was scrapped. She had planned to lay new flowers at her parents and aunt's grave, she planned to help Jeremy with some shopping and she planned to ask Matt to move in with him as she worried for her younger brother, but now they were broken plans that she needed to make up for.

"It's Saturday sweetie" Damon said kissing her again and Elena nodded her head thinking that some of her plans could be made up for today and she smiled at Damon who softly nibbled at her neck.

"I've been two days asleep and already you're trying to drag sex out of me?" Elena teased and Damon pulled back shockingly, and Elena started to worry. She had been in school on the Thursday when the vicious attack had happened and now the weekend had welcomes her from her humble sleep, so why was did Damon look at her surprisingly

"Oh Elena" he said trailing of the end and leaning his head into her before kissing her on her forehead and she looked at him in worry, she knew at that point two weeks was an understatement

"Damon what's going on? Please tell me" She said in a worried voice and he looked her in the eyes once again in an apologetic way and Elena grabbed his head in both of her hands and she looked deeply into his eyes to seek out the answer that he blocked away from her.

"Damon please" she begged and before she could handle herself tears started to slip out of her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions attack her as fear, angry, sadness and confusion swirled around her mind as Damon removed the tears on her face with his thumb and she gave a weak smile as she grabbed his hand as it rest at her cheek.

"Oh sweetie, you've been asleep for more than two days. It's July second" Damon said as Elena gasped. She had missed half of the year. She missed Christmas, Jeremy's birthday, her parent's anniversary mass and even her own birthday. Elena shook her head, this couldn't be true but yet he had no reason to lie. She missed a whole year in school and shook her head once again at the thought of repeating senior year.

"What happened within a year?" Elena said nervously as the thoughts of something terrifying had happened to the ones she loved but that was swiped away when Damon smiled at her and sat firmly on her bed, entwining his fingers with hers.

"Nothing much. The hunters dead, Stefan is off the plot, Caroline is still vampire Barbie, Bonnie has got some of her powers back. Klaus has an army of witches on his side, Tyler is hooking up with that mongrel Haley and Jeremy's a hunter" Damon said and Elena nodded her head taking in the news. The hunter is gone and they're all safe, Stefan has re-entered his ripper ways, Caroline is still Caroline while Bonnie had regained some magic. Klaus on the other hand was up to no good in getting witches on his side while Tyler was getting with Haley who was still in town and then Elena's eyes widened by the last information of Jeremy and she gasped

"Jeremy is a what?!" she screamed

** So Elena got a nice nap of 6 months. What's Klaus doing with his army of witches? Will Elena repeat senior year? Has Bonnie got her good or bad power back and will it be put to good use? Who killed the hunter and why? Have Tyler and Haley have become more than friends Or are they just friends with benefits? Caroline still herself and what has Haley done to piss Damon off?

Basically this was a Delena chapter and showed us what had happened within the six months.
