She could hear a soft knock, but she wasn't ready to wake up. "Go away! I wanna sleep!" She could feel the bed shift, opening one of her eyes she saw Klaus. Closing her eye again she burried her head in her pillow. "I wanna sleep."

"It's 2p.m." She sat up and looked at the clock, she was about to get out of bed when she remembered she doesn't have class. Looking over at Klaus she raised her eyebrow.

"And I should care why?"

"I just figured you would like to know something that's all." She eyed him suspiciously, if there was something she was suppose to know, why wasn't Caroline telling her? Or even Damon?

"Where are the others?"

"That's what I was going to tell you." She started getting worried. "Don't worry it's nothing bad. Caroline just wanted me to tell you that she went to go talk to your boss to ask for more time off, and Damon went out with Katherine somewhere." She didn't feel the tears falling until one hit her hand. Klaus looked like a little kid not sure what to do. "Did.. Did I do something?"

"Wh-what's so special about her?" She stood up and headed to the bathroom slamming the door, she slid and fell to the floor crying. She heard a soft knock and quickly locked the door. She could hear him sighing. "I'll... I'll be fine.." She knew she was lying but she didn't want anyone right now. She could hear him sitting against the door.

"We both know that's not true."

"How'd you know?"

"I know a broken heart." She cried even harder. "Elena, can I ask, well tell you something?"

"I guess so..."

"There was this girl. Tatiana. Beautiful, intellegent, nothing like I had ever seen. She stole my heart, and for a long time she had it. Then, on night about 3 years after we started dating, I was going to propose to her, I knew I loved her so I figured, why should I wait? I just picked up the ring, and was walking inside our apartment. What I saw wasn't what I was expecting." She waited as he took his time, she wiped the tears that kept coming. "She was sleeping with my younger brother Kol. I have never been more angry, heart broken, and sad at the same time. I vowed to never love again, never trust Kol again."

"Sounds resonable to me. You just get hurt in the end.."

"Reasonable, sure, livable? No. I didn't realize that until I saw Caroline. Now, she, she is more beautiful than Tatiana any day. Kind hearted. That stays between us."

She snorted. "So why are you telling me this? You got over your heart break, you don't have to live through it, again."

"True, but I know for a fact Damon doesn't love her."

"Then why does he let her here? Or go out with her?"

"That, you would have to ask him. But I can tell you one thing Elena. I've never seen him look at Katherine the way he looks at you." She only got confused.

"What do you mean?" He didn't answer, and she wanted to know what he meant, standing up she unlocked the door, opened it and he wasn't there. Looking around the room she couldn't find him. She sat on the bed, grabbed a pillow and hugged it. She sat there thinking. Trying to understand what he meant. After a couple hours, she stood up abruptly, he loves her. It was so clear, but she didn't understand if he did why was he with her?

"Go ask him." She looked over and saw Stefan and Jeremy standing there with soft smiles. They didn't have to tell her twice, she started walking around the house trying to find him. "Down Stairs." She bolted down the stairs looking around, not paying attention until she ran into someone. Looking up she saw Damon, confused, Katherine behind him. She looked back at Damon, and before he or Katherine could say anything she blurted it out.

"Do you love me?"

"Damon, did you pick... up.. the... beer..." Klaus stood there, uneasy. Looking at his feet, they all stood there in silence.

"Do you love me?" She asked again, from the way she was standing on the stairs, she was a little taller than Damon. She wanted to know, she didn't care about Katherine, Caroline, or Klaus, she just wanted to know. After a couple mintues he was about to speak when..

"Oh common' Damon, she's having one of her moments again." Damon turned to face her, shaking his head he looked at Klaus, who only nodded. He looked back at Elena who was waiting for an answer. He grabbed her hand and walked up the stairs, dragging her behind him. "Damon!" Katherine attempted to follow them but Klaus stepped in front of her.

"It's time for you to leave." He nudged her to the door. "Have a great night." He gave a sarcastic smile and shut the door.

"D-Damon!" He kept going, making his way to his room. "Damon! Wha-" He closed the door and turned around to face her, the look left her speechless. Before she could speak again, he was kissing her, and she kissed back, which surprised her. He broke the kiss after a few moments. Touching their forheads together. They stood there, not saying anything.

"I love you." She opened her eyes and looked at him. He was telling the truth. She kissed him again. He led her to the bed. He-

"ELENA!" She jolted up and looked around the room. She saw Caroline sitting beside her on the bed, with a sad look on her face. "You were crying in your sleep." She was confused.

"What time is it?"

"It's 12:43 a.m. Everybody else went to bed already.

She could only stare at Caroline, without a thought she started to cry, she grabbed onto Caroline who hugged her rocking her back and forth.

"It was only a dream..." Caroline was now confused.

"What was Elena?"

"Is... Is Katherine still here?"

"Yea, she was talking to Damon in the living room about 2 hours ago. What happened? Klaus said he came to wake you up early and you passed out in the bathroom." At least that was real. But she still cried, every time she heard Damon's name or Katherine's it only caused more pain.

"Caroline?"

"Yea?"

"Everyones asleep right?"

"Yea."

"Can you take me home?" She looked at Caroline who was puzzled. "I... I can't be around them... It hurts to much Care..." She cried harder again.

"Ok... Shhh. Ok... I'll go pack my things quietly. You gunna be ok?" She nodded. As Caroline left the room, she got her suitcase and started packing. She didn't want them to stop her, especially Damon.

"What if you're right." She didn't want to talk to Jeremy, so she just kept packing. After awhile Caroline came into the room with her bag.

"You ready?" She could only nod. They queitly walked through the house, making sure not to wake anyone. She grabbed the bags while Caroline silently shut the door. Once in the car they saw lights turn on, but Caroline didn't stop she just kept driving. She turned her head around and she saw a shirtless Damon standing at the doorway. She looked ahead, she didn't want to see him. Not now.

1:35 p.m.

"I wanted to leave because of the dream I had." Caroline placed her cup of coffee down and looked at Elena. "I... I thought it was real..."

"What was real?"

"Saying that he loves me.." She looked at Caroline and started to cry again. "I ha... hate this.." Caroline came over and hugged her. She whispered words, and rubbed her back, then they heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it." She wiped her tears away as she headed to the door. Taking a deep breath she opened the door. She stood there, staring. Before he could say anything, she shut, well, attempted to shut the door, but he stopped it, so she walked away and headed to her room.

"Elena." She didn't stop she just headed up the stairs. Silently letting her tears fall as she walked into her room. She shut the door and sat against it. She could hear Caroline and him talking.

"You should leave."

"Why? I wake up to see you guys leaving in the middle of the night, I wanted to know what was going on, now she's not talking to me."

"You should just leave."

"Which room is hers?" She could hear his footsteps coming up the stairs and she bolted for the bathroom in the room, closed and locked the door just in time to hear him come through.

"Damon! Just go!" He banged on the bathroom door.

"Elena! Let me in!" she silently cried. She couldn't talk to him, not now. She didn't say anything she just stood against the door and cried.

"Damon, just go."

"Why? What did I do?"

"Did you sleep with Katherine." She didn't think she said it out loud, but she could tell by the silence that she did. She covered her mouth and stared at the door, unsure of what was going to happen.

"Elena..." She ignored Stefan.

"Are you serious?"

"So you did." He could hear the angry chuckle he made.

"Elena, stop." She ignored Jeremy.

"Yea, when we were engaged."

"You know what I mean."

There was silence again, and she could only stare at the door. All of a sudden there was wood splinters flying and the door was opened, she stared wide eyed at him.

So, I know this is silly, but I'm not going to make this a long series. I might make side stories, or add on stories for future references but I only see this going one or two, max three more chapters. Hope you have enjoyed it thus far!
