I woke up the next morning feeling like crap. I could hear my own heart beat in my head. I knew nothing good would come out of drinking Damon's bourbon, but of course, I had drank it anyway. I got up making sure I wouldn't wake anyone up. I stood in front of the mirror wondering, could I look worst? My hair was a tangled mess, my make up was a complete disaster, and I still had my jeans and shirt on. Though I wasn't surprised I didn't even remember taking my shoes off. I did remember one thing though.

I had told Damon I loved him.

I heard a groan coming from the sheets on the floor.

"Why did I do that?" Caroline whined as she got up.

"Why did you drag me into it?" I said.

"Well what are friends for" she said with a smile.

"Can you close the window, I can't stand light right now" she nodded as she headed towards it. She suddenly stopped and looked into it.

"Elena!"

"Oww, please don't scream my head is about to explode!"

"Sorry" she said lowering her tone. "I'm just so excited that we can finally get out of here. The snow is gone!"

"Really?" she nodded.

"Damon! Wake up! Now! Stop being lazy!" Caroline yelled as she jumped on the bed. Damon grabbed the closest thing he had (in this case the phone) and threw it at Caroline.

"Shut up!" he yelled, as he laid face down on his pillow.

"Open your eyes! Now!" Caroline said poking his head.

"Stop it!"

"Fine you leave me no choice" Caroline said. She moved to the other side of the bed and started pushing Damon off the bed.

"No! Caroline sto….." Damon's sentence was interrupted by him falling onto the floor. He looked at Caroline then at his pillow on the floor. He once again laid down, covering his ears with his pillow.

"Okay, you asked for it Salvatore" Caroline jumped from the bed, and let herself fall right on Damon, knocking the air out of him. Damon sat up quickly holding his chest as his gasped for air.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Damon screamed.

"I needed you to wake up" Caroline said in defense.

"Caroline it's…." Damon looked at the clock. "5 in the morning what is so damn important that you couldn't wait to tell me?"

"Look!" Caroline signaled towards the window.

"What?"

"The sun!"

"Um, well the sun has been around for a long time now Caroline"

"Idiot. I mean, the snow is gone!"

"Wait. We can go home? Finally!"

"Let's go!" Caroline said.

"Okay, just let me get dressed. Start taking our bags to the car" Caroline…. for once…. agreed. As soon as she left I turned to Damon.

"Uh, Damon…. I think we should talk about, um last night" I said.

"Yeah, definitely"

"Last night, I was really drunk, and really out of it…. I'm sorry I didn't know what I was saying…."

"Elena, I've been drunk more times than I can count. If there's one thing that alcohol does to you is force you to tell the truth. I'm not asking you to go out with me or anything. I just want you to be honest, that's all I want. Nothing more" I looked down. I wanted to tell him so bad, I wanted to love him, but if I did, what kind of person does that make me?

"I'm sorry Damon, like I said I was drunk I…."

"It's okay, I get it. I'm a horrible person, my bad for thinking that just for a second, maybe you loved me back, but of course I was wrong" he said as he turned around to leave.

"Damon. wait." I said grabbing his arm.

"Let go of me" he said in an annoyed tone.

"Wait, Damon just please wait!"

"I said let go!" he pulled his arm out of my grip and left.

As soon as he did Caroline came in. She had been spying on our conversation. And to my surprise, she looked annoyed, even a little mad. Just great.

"We need to talk"
