I was freaking out. It had been 24 hours and Damon hadn't even made a sound. Part of me wished it was because he had forgot or simply didn't care, but I knew that wasn't it at all. He was planning something.

I paced around the room impatiently until I was stopped by bumping onto a wall of flesh. I looked up to see Damon.

"D-Damon" I stuttered. His grin deepened as I kept struggling for words.

"You're scared of me" he said in a playful tone. I opened my mouth to say something, but I snapped it shut since that probably wasn't the best idea right now. He gave me a smile, but not his normal Damon smile, a warm smile, an assuring smile. "Elena, you do know that I would never do anything to hurt you"

"Of course" I said not even thinking about it. Because it didn't require thinking, Damon would trade his life for mine in the blink of an eye, because he loved me. And as much as I try to deny it I loved him back. I mean how couldn't I. He literally had it all, looks, brains, and most important of all, he knew how to love. The deal with Damon was he gave himself over to love, which wasn't something done often, because it was scary. Giving someone your whole heart isn't easy, because once you do its gone, it's not something you can take back, but Damon never cared about that. He did it anyway, and he believed that it made him weak, but it didn't it made him special, it made him unique, it made him Damon.

"…..Elena, Elena. Earth to Elena" Damon said as he waved his hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I said, I had been so caught up on my thoughts that I hadn't noticed Damon had been saying something.

"What were you thinking about. I've been trying to snap you out of it for like 10 minutes" he whined.

"Oh…um.. nothing"

"Riiiiight"

The phone rang for the first time since we've been here. There had been no cell service, as soon as the first ring was heard Damon sped to it as fast he could.

"Yes?" he said almost screaming of joy.

"Is that Stefan!" Caroline said all the way from the shower.

"Oh, well you see we ran into a bit of a problem" Damon said on the phone. "Yeah, yeah we're fine" he explained. "Yeah she is right here" he put his hand over the phone covering it from any sound being heard on the other end of the call. "It's Stefan, he wants to talk to you"

Me and Stefan had left things in a good place, at least that's how I saw it, but I still wasn't ready to talk to him, specially considering that I was in a motel sharing a bed with his brother, even if we were doing nothing more than sleeping on it.

I shook my head at Damon.

"Please"

"No I cant"

"Please for me" he gave me his best puppy eyes. Those words had as much effect on me as they had on him. I couldn't deny, not when it was for him.

I sighed, and extended my hand for the phone. I saw him smile widely as he handed me the phone, which just caused me to roll my eyes.

"Hey Stefan" I said trying to hide the annoyance in my voice.

"Elena! Are you okay?"

"Yeah, we are fine. We just have to stay here for a few days that's all"

"Good, um. How is Damon…. behaving?" I saw Damon's head drop, he could hear what Stefan was saying.

"What do you mean by that?" I said not even trying to hide my annoyance anymore.

"He is my brother and all, but I know he can be a pain in the ass at times" I saw Damon's head drop even more.

"For you maybe, but not for me. He changed, Stefan. He's not like that anymore"

"Damon I'm gonna kill you!" Caroline screamed as she got out of the shower.

"Talk about bad timing" Damon muttered under his breath.

"Oh my….. Stefan I have to go" I said as I hung up.

Right in front of me was a blue-haired Caroline. She really was gonna kill him.
