Hi :) Im back with a new chapte and I really like how this one turned out so I hope you guys can enjoy it. Im still trying to get over the shock of last weeks kiss, wasn't it perfect? And Im really excited about this week episode, so happy that were finally gettin our Delena's moment.

Well I hope you let me know what you think about the chapter and a huge thank you to everyone who read, comments and send alerts on this. Also thanks to Delena's Differential Equation for being a great beta.

By the way, Im picturing Julian as 'Jackson Brundage' who plays 'Jamie Scott' on One Tree Hill and if you don't know him you can check pictures of him in my tumblr account : www(dot)cosmogirl3(dot)tumblr(dot)com

Some people change and some just won't
You can't take back the words you wish you'd never said
Promises break and lovers will lie
You hold up your hands and let out a sigh
So smile right before you fall
And lay beside this mess and call it consequence
Somebody said that life isn't fair

When somebody else was saying a prayer

If there's a hole in your heart you gotta pull it together
It takes the courage to start. But now is better than never
It takes a push and a shove. Somehow it's never enough
And it's alarming how quick you could forget that
Nothing's bigger than love

Bigger than love –My favorite highway-

August 4, 2002

Elena looked herself in the mirror and smiled widely, she would make sure to thank Caroline later for forcing her to take those Victoria's secrets outfits she buy undercover from her mother. She was wearing a pink baby doll, the fabric so transparent that you could see the matching panties she was wearing, contorts and straps were black and the outfit totally made her breast look fuller.

She applied some channel on her and brushed her long curls before applying some cherry gloss and wrapped herself in a fuchsia silk robe.

She opened the door carefully trying not to wake Stefan who was sleeping in the room next to hers all while thanking god that her parents and the Salvatore's had gone to dinner in the town so her only concern was Stefan waking up. She walked quietly until she found Damon's door and stepped in slowly.

His eyes were closed but she knew he wasn't sleeping, his body was resting on top of the covers and was wearing nothing but blue pajama bottoms, she stepped at the bottom of the bed and saw him open his eyes, he gave her a smirk and his breathing stopped as she undid the tie of the robe.

When the material touched the floor Damon's eyes nearly popped out of his head at the image of the girl in front of him.

"Elena what are you doing?" His voice was hoarse while his eyes roamed shamefully over her body, his cock making himself notice

"I just want to be with you" Elena said in a whisper and climbed into the bed straddling him

Damon's heart started beating furiously against his chest and he just couldn't understand why, during his young life he had been with countless women but with none of them felt what he was feeling right now, not even when he was a fifteen year old virgin.

His member was throbbing hardly in his pants at the feel of the heat meaning from her body did nothing but ignite his desire for her, he had never seen something so beautiful than her in this moment and all he wanted to do was to touch her, to feel her skin against his.

She started kissing his neck while her center rubbed dangerously against his erection earning a hiss from his part

"Elena, what-?" He found himself lost for words when she sucked his earlobe in her mouth

"Damon I just want to make you feel good" She whispered wetly against his ear

"Oh you're doing an awesome job at it" He purred while she kissed his jaw and felt her smile against his skin

He took hold of her hips and kissed her hardly, letting his tongue swept into her warm mouth, tasting everything about her, his hands cupped her bottom and she clanged to his biceps needing support, the things she was feeling were completely new for her and her head was already spinning.

He turned them around so she was now pressed against his mattress and he started attacking hungrily her neck making sure of not leaving a patch of skin without attention. His right hand started caressing her breasts and she couldn't help but moan at loud, and as his other hand touched her core trough her panties he felt her started trembling in his arms

"Elena wait" He said trough gritted teeth doing his best in focusing on the things he wanted to say

"I did something wrong?" Elena asked with her eyes full of shame

"Of course you didn't beautiful" He told her soothingly and caressed her cheek lightly "But I just want to make sure that you want this" He rolled of her and lay down beside her in the bed

"I do Damon" She said with security but he could hear the doubt in her voice

"You know we don't have to do anything Lena. Im not asking you anything" He positioned himself to rest on his side so he was able to look at her and pulled a dark curl out of her forehead

"You don't want me?" She said and her voice cracked, he could see the tears forming in her eyes and his heart broke at the sight

"Of course I want you" He took hold of her arm and drag her to lay in his chest "You have no idea of how much I want this. But I don't want you to rush into this or that you do it for the wrong reasons" He caressed her hair softly

"It's just-" She took a deep breath and lift her head to look at him "We only have two weeks here and when you go back to town-" The tears started slipping out of her eyes

"When I go back to town what?" He said in a serious voice and took hold of her chin forcing her took look at him

"You're going to realize that Im nothing for you and you're going to forget about me" She closed her eyes while tears keep falling

"You are really dumb if you think that" He said before kissing her forehead "Elena look at me" She opened her eyes slowly and felt mesmerize when she look into her deep blue ones

"You are so perfect for me…and I could never forget about you" He kissed her lips softly "I don't want to make love to you because you think you need to do that to keep me I want to do it because you it's the same thing you want and because you're ready for it"

Elena couldn't help the warm feeling that spread in her stomach at Damon's words, he was definitely the most amazing man he had ever met and in that moment she realized that what she felt for him was true love.

"Thank you" She said in a strained whisper

"You're welcome princess" He said before giving her a kiss in the top of her head and stroking his hair lightly, lulling her to sleep

"So may I see him?"

"I don't know sir, the other kids are going to start getting jealous because he gets so much attention" The woman in the desk said with annoyance in her voice

"Please" Damon said with an edge of exasperation on his voice

"I'll go for him" The elder got up from the chair and walked towards a big hallway

He took a seat and waited patiently until ten minutes later he saw the kid running towards him

"You're Lena's friend" Julian said looking at him cautiously

"Yes I am" He said getting up from the chair and smiling broadly

"And why are you here?"

"Well kiddo I came here to talk to you"

"Figure that much but why?" He said eying him suspiciously

"I still can't believe you're only eight" Damon said with disbelief in his voice "Ok here's the thing I need your help"

"For what?" Julian said and took a seat in one of the chairs in the office

"I need to get Elena back" He took a seat in the chair next to the one the kid occupied

"And you need me to help you for that?" The blonde boy asked a little too loud

"Well if I came here to see you is for that don't you think?" He shouted back and then felt stupid for arguing with an eight year old

"But I don't get it. How could I help you?"

Damn this was going to be hard and he wasn't even sure this was a good idea, using a little boy to get her back seemed low and he even felt bad about it. But he knew the kid was going to be able to melt Elena's heart and well he wasn't going to 'use him' completely, he just needed a little help.

"Well you're all cutie and Lena loves you" Damon stated "Im sure you can convince her to be with me, you know asking her to take you out and inviting me" He said while picturing it in his head, it was going to be great

"And why should I help you?" The kid said while swigging his legs on the chair

"Because I know you care about her and I no one loves her more than me, I promise you" He said suddenly getting to serious "She's my entire world and I know I made mistakes in the past but I can make it work now, I can make her happy and I have no idea why Im having this conversation with a kid but Im desperate" His voice showing the despair he was feeling and even when Julian was still to young he understood the situation and knew that what Damon was telling was the truth "I just can't let her marry my brother"

"I know that, she's not in love with him" The sympathetic eyes of the kid looked at him

"Her face doesn't lit up when she sees him. I like Stefan but he's just not the one for her" He said in a soft voice

"Do you think I am?" He asked with doubt in his voice

"I do. Even when she was fighting her eyes were lit up with you yesterday"

"Im not sure about anything anymore" He looked down and rubbed his sweaty hands in his jeans

"Well I've known her for three years already and I want her to be happy more than anything in the world" The blond boy said with determination on his voice "I would have like to have a mom like her" The kid said with sadness in his voice, the one thing he wanted in this world was a family and sometimes at nights he dreamed that Elena was his mom that way she could tuck him into the bed and sing songs to him every night

"I miss my mom too" Damon said in a croaked voice and looked at the little kid next to him

"What happened to her?"

"She died when I was ten years old" Tears were treating to fall from his eyes and he felt stupid for being about to cry with an eight year old boy

"Im sorry" Julian put his hand on top of Damon's and his blue eyes looked at him with compassion

Damon's felt his heart sank at the kid's words and squeezed his hand lightly, a little boy who had no one in the world, who never got know her parents was telling him he was sorry for him, who despite losing his mother still had people in the world who cared about him.

In that moment he made the decision that despite wanting to win Elena back he was going to take care of this kid, not because he pitted him but because he show him comfort without knowing him and because he had no one and he knew what it was to feel alone in the world.

"So what if we go for some ice cream on the weekend" He asked while ruffling the kid's hair "The lady over there say that if you can go out on weekends if a trustful and responsible person takes care of you" He saw the excitement grow in Julian's eyes "and I happen to be a responsible and trustful guy"

"Can Lena come?" He asked with a big smile "I decided that Im going to help you"

"She can come if you want to" He laughed quietly "So weekend then?"

"Sure" Julian said with a big smile that showed all of his teeth

Now he got why Elena was so captivated by the kid, there was something about him that made you want to protect him and Damon wasn't a children person he blamed for that at his father, his childhood had been awful because of him and when his mother died only turned worse, his biggest fear was to become like him so he always stayed away from kids. But there was something special about Julian, the kid probably had the whole orphanage eating out his palm. Damon was sure they were going to become great friends and yes he may get Elena back in the process

August 6, 2002

Elena walked in the garden just to find her parents drinking coffee in one of the benches the Salvatore's had next to a huge fountain.

"Good morning, have you guys talked to you Jeremy?" She said while she took a seat on the grass facing them

"Yes, he's pretty good you know having a blast with Jenna" Isobel said with annoyance in her voice, she never like Jenna maybe it had something to do with the fact that she was at some level involved with John, a relationship Elena never wanted to know about "I don't even know why your father let him stay with her, she's not even family"

"She's like family, her sister is married to my brother" John said a little exasperate, he hated his wife jealousy towards Jenna

"Ok since the moods are a little sour here I'll be better get going" Elena said and started to get up

"Elena wait, your mother and I want to talk to you about something" John said in a serious voice what forced Elena to remain in her exact same spot in the grass

"Your father and I feel like is not appropriate for you to spend so much time with Damon Salvatore" Her mother said looking straight into her eyes

"Well we are living in his house who Im suppose to be with?" Elena said with annoyance, suddenly getting angry for her parents stupid request.

"Well I don't know Stefan maybe" John said simply

"Stefan hardly leaves his bedroom" Elena answered with a roll of her eyes "Do you guys have something against Damon?"

"It's not that sweetheart, it's just well he doesn't have the best reputation in town" Isobel crossed her legs and gave an apologetic smile to Elena "Even his father knows it, he also thinks you should be more with Stefan"

"Well I don't like Stefan, I like spending time with Damon" She blurted out "And anyway what do I care about his reputation? Im not marrying him, he's just a friend" She said and stood up, that was a completely lie, Damon and her were more than friends and the idea of being away from him was unbearable but her parents weren't going to know that

"Because he may hurt you Elena" John answered in an angry tone "And he's older than you it's not proper for you to see him"

"But dad-"

"But nothing Elena, you are not allowed to be with the guy anymore at least you're surrounded by other people" The expression of his face was sober

"That's just stupid" She lifted her chin and gave his father a defiant look "You can't forbid me anything"

"Of course I can, Im your father and you're going to do what I say"

"Mom you know this is ridiculous" Elena tried to reason with her mother but she only gave her an remorseful look

"Im sorry but Im sticking with your father on this one Lena"

Her eyes were burning from the tears that wanted to slip out of her eyes but she wasn't going to let her father see that.

"Fine" She said trough gritted teeth and walked towards the house, knowing that was a deal she wasn't going to make. As long Damon wanted her next to him she wasn't going anywhere.

"I swear to god that I just can't visit one more store" Elena said to her best friend while she sipped her fresh lemonade

"Oh dear god you're so dramatic, we've only been to five stores" Caroline answered with a roll of her eyes

"Yes but I try like 10 dresses in each one" Elena said and flipped through the menu of the restaurant they were eating

"Well it's not my fault that you're so picky and don't like anything" Her friend said and stacked her tongue out at her

"It's just none of them felt right" Elena said laughing softly "Hey Caroline isn't that Tyler Lockwood" She said and fixed her gaze on the door of the place where the brunette man was entering

Caroline turned her head and looked at her now ex-boyfriend walking into the restaurant and quickly returned her head to were Elena was staring her with a confused expression

"What's wrong?" She asked with a frown "Aren't you two dating?"

"Not anymore" Caroline asked bluntly

"What? And you didn't tell me anything sweetie?" Elena asked a little hurt that her best friend hadn't tell her something that important

"Well it's just you have so much in your head right now, you know the wedding and Damon and all that I didn't mean to overwhelm you" Caroline answered apologetically and then the waiter approach them

Once the waiter was left Elena turned her attention back to her best friend and smile softly

"Caroline no matter what's in my head I'll always have time for you"

"Thanks Lena I know" Caroline said looking down. She felt like the worse friend in the entire world, she still kept thing for Elena because her secret was bigger than everything, she was in love with her friend fiancée and that was just wrong, Elena could never found out about it

"So why did you guys broke up?" The brunette girl asked

"Thing weren't like before…you know…I" Caroline blurted out not knowing what to say

"Caroline Forbes are you in love with someone else?" Elena asked suddenly excited

"No, of course not" The blond girl answered nervously and in that moment she hated the fact that Elena Gilbert could read her like a book

"Yes you are" She said with a huge smile on her face "Come on tell me who is it?" She chipped excitedly

"Is it nobody" She locked a strand of blond hair behind her ear "Seriously, is nothing" She said hopping that she would quiet with the subject already

"Ok then" Elena said softly dropping the subject. If Caroline didn't wanted to talk about it right now she was going to respect it, she would come around when she was ready.

Few minutes later the waiter came back with their order and they ate while chatting about the details of the wedding and Elena was completely oblivious to the fact that every word was hurting Caroline to her very core.

After they finished eating they left the restaurant and were walking through the halls of the mall when Elena spotted a nuptial store they hadn't visit yet and got close to the window where she saw the most amazing wedding dress she ever lay eyes on.

It had princess cut but it wasn't too flashy, the top part was cut in a heart shape and thing straps were holding it to the mannequin, and if you got close enough you could see little brilliant incrustations. It was a dress worth of a princess.

"You like it?" Caroline said with a bright smile while approaching her

She didn't like it, she loved it but for some reason it felt wrong to marry Stefan in that dress. Elena knew that Damon would have love that dress and that thought stopped her for buying it. She hated herself more than anything in that moment because she should be looking for something that made her look beautiful in Stefan's eyes but she wasn't going to buy it because she only wanted to be beautiful trough Damon's.

"No, it's just to cheesy" She lied the best she could "We'll keep looking" She walked past the store and Caroline just stood there admiring the dress and knowing exactly what was going through her friend's head. She really needed to do something to fix this mess.
