A/n-Since it was asked of me what the songs behind each chapter is:

Ch 1- I'm with you (Avril Lavigne) /

Ch 2- Kiss With a Fist (Florence and the machine)

Ch 3- Good Enough (Evanescence) / Disenchanted (My Chemical Romance)

Ch 4- Here's To Us (Halestorm) / Familiar Taste of Poison (Halestorm)

Ch 5- Gone with the Sin (HIM) / Betrayed (Avenged Sevenfold)

The other thing is- if given the choice would you guys prefer me to keep the story length at 10 chapters or go beyond that because I can if you guys would like me too. As always thank you to everyone that read, reviewed, followed and favorited, they keep me writing and as I've said many many times before I am a review whore and they get you guys quicker chapters (though considering that I've been pretty much posting a chapter per night I'm not sure how much quicker I can put them out). You guys should definitely check out the songs that go with the chapters, I feel each one fits very very well with the story. That being said I'm done talking and are already working on the next chapter so until next time, happy reading.

Chapter 5- Gone with the Sin

Elena gasped softly, her hands reaching up to grasp at his hair, drawing him in closer and for a moment Damon let her, the kiss that had started off roughly turning slowly gentle. Eventually he pulled back though, much to her protests and pressed another soft kiss to her forehead.

"Do you understand now?" He questioned softly, letting his hands slip down until they were resting on her waist, and even though she didn't Elena nodded. Letting out a slow breath she didn't bother trying to resist as he pulled her against his chest and just held her there, his hands stroking along her side.

Chewing softly on her bottom lip she released his hair and leaned into him, her ear pressed against where his heart was, the steady thumping of his heart calming down the frantic beating of her own. Where the hell this had come from was beyond her, the last thing that she had expected when Damon came to her room that night was for her fight with him to end with his lips on hers. She felt more then heard him sigh, his hands tightening slightly around her before he pulled back completely, leaving Elena feeling strangely cold.

"That shouldn't have happened..."He finally muttered and Elena had blanched, "It'll just make things even more complicated." Blinking back furious tears Elena shoved him even further away from her, the feeling of being dirty settling down over her skin.

"You've got to be kidding me." She snarled, her arms curling around her own waist as she tried to protect herself from the feelings that were welling up in her.

"You misunderstand me." He quickly corrected, reaching for her again. "It can just make things complicated is all and I don't want to make you any more stressed out then you already are." Elena let out a rough breath feeling like she had over reacted but the feeling that was starting to settle down deep in her gut was telling her that something was off. Damon smiled and nudged her back into her room, following after her and leaning down to press another kiss to her lips. "I could never regret what I just did; it will just cause waves with us being in the middle of a tour and everything." Elena shrugged and reached up to curl her arms back around his neck, drawing him back down to her.

"To hell with them," She murmured and sealed her lips back over his. He slept in her room that night, his arms holding her to him, her head resting on his chest. Nothing had happened between the two of them, Damon, of all people, stating that it was too soon, too fast and that he didn't want to treat it like a one night stand. Elena was happy for that; happy to not feel pressured to put out for the rock god image that he carried. When it came time to return to the tour bus he pressed a soft kiss to her lips before he left, stating that it would probably be best if he talked to his bandmates before they walked in together and foolishly Elena said okay, deciding that he was probably right- if Jeremy found out before she could tell him he was likely to kill Damon. For the rest of that day they kept their distance, even when it came to rehearsal before the show they didn't really say anything to each other, though Damon did manage to sneak a kiss right before she went onto stage that night, her heart pounding at the thought that finally he would stick around and see her perform.

She sang her heart out that night, feeling the music more than ever and when she walked off of the stage, Damon was there waiting with the rest of Kompulsion. Smiling she resisted the urge to throw her arms around his neck and kiss him like she wanted too. Instead as they started onto the stage she found herself wondering, not for the first time, if falling as quickly and as hard for him as she was, was such a good idea but then she thought about how happy she was for the first time in what felt like forever and she decided that she didn't care.

Returning the gesture, while they performed Elena stood in the wings, watching Damon do what he had done best for years. The show lasted for another hour and a half after Kompulsion took the stage and Elena was completely engrossed in the whole thing, so distracted that she never saw the woman that was lead into the wings behind her. When all was said and done and Kompulsion was exiting the stage Elena waited patiently for Damon to walk towards her and for a moment, a smile curling over his lips until suddenly he wasn't smiling anymore and Elena felt her stomach drop.

"Baby!" Elena didn't even have a chance to look behind her before she was being shoved to the side by a petite blond. She watched in horror as the blond threw herself into Damon's arms and pressed a rough kiss to his lips, her legs curling around his waist. Damon grunted on impact, his hands going to her waist as he stared at Elena with wide eyes. Elena swallowed and looked down at her feet, feeling like her heart was breaking before the anger started to boil over. Pushing back her shoulders she cleared her throat once to gain their attention and then again when nobody looked her way.

"What?!" The blond finally snarled, her eyes narrowing into a glare as she pulled away from him long enough o shoot Elena a few death looks.

"Who's your friend Damon?" She finally questioned after she had swallowed a few time to keep the tears at bay and to keep from saying something that she would regret later on down the line. Damon visably swallowed himself, looking from the blond to Elena and back again.

"This is-" But whatever he had been about to say was covered by the other woman sliding down his body to her feet and turning to Elena, the smuggest little look that she could possibly manage plaster over her lips as she held out her hand.

"I'm Caroline...Damon's fiancé." Her heart hit the bottom of her stomach and it felt like she was going to be sick but somehow she managed to force herself to smile and take Caroline's hand.

"Nice to meet you." She squeaked out before faking a yawn, "I'd love to stay and chat but I'm exhausted...long day and all you know." Turning around she once more squared her shoulders to keep them from knowing about the tears that were falling down her cheeks.

"El-"

"I'm fine Da-" She couldn't even bring herself to say his name, the pain already starting to bubble up in her chest and she briefly wondered if she was going to be able to make it back to the bus before she broke down completely, "Have fun with your fi-" She couldn't bring herself to say that word either and instead walked towards the back doors. She knew that it was rude the way that she was ignoring him as he called her named but she didn't give a rats ass, the tears streaking down her cheeks a reminder of what he had done and why she never trusted people- when you trusted people you got hurt and eventually they left, like they always did, like her parents did, like everyone did and she was done. She thanked whatever gods were out there when she made it back to the bus without incident and without running into anyone who could post pictures of her crying on the internet. Stumbling towards her bunk she reached for her cell phone blindly before pressing down and holding the second key until it started to ring.

"Jesus Christ Elena do you know what time it is?" Meredith bitched the second that she answered the phone, and while Elena knew that it was close to 3 in the morning back home she really didn't care.

"I don't care." She murmured, barely registering that she was interrupting Meredith mid-sentence. "I'm done. I quit, get me the hell outta here."
