Elena wakes up first. She feels Damon's arms around her and she feels safe. She turns around and watches him sleep. She remembers last night and the thought of losing him made her feel anxious. After a few moments Damon opened his eyes. They stared at each other without saying a word. For a minute Elena allowed herself to get lost in Damon's silver-blue eyes. The spell got broken as soon as they realized that they were no longer alone in the room.
Stefan was standing right in front of them with a confused look on his face.
Elena stands up and jumps into Stefan's arms, telling him how much she missed him. As she pulls back, Stefan notices the scar where Damon bit her last night.
- What happened to your arm? Stefan asks.
Elena looks at Damon before answering him. Stefan looks at his brother with a threat in his eyes.
- You son of a bitch! You just couldn't restrain yourself for 3 days!
- No, Stefan wait, he didn't hurt me! Elena stopped Stefan before he could jump in his brother's throat.
- He didn't bite you? Then who did?
- I didn't say he didn't bite me, I'm just saying that is not what you think.
Stefan returned his attention to his brother:
- You stay away from her!
- Oh, come on little brother. Is this really the reason you act like a jealous boyfriend, or is it the fact that you came home and find your girlfriend, in bed, with me?
- Damon, please! Elena said as she gives him the "if you don't shut up I'll kill you" look.
Elena tells Stefan to sit down as her and Damon explains what happened last night.
- So, Elena starts. Last night, I was bored out of my mind, because Damon wouldn't let me out of the house.
- She was bugging me, so I took her to The Grill.
Elena looked at Damon before she continued:
- After a few minutes a man came to me and called me Katherine. I didn't have time to think and he ran away. Then…
- Then I ran after him, but little miss sunshine here just couldn't stay away. She came after me and got lost in the woods.
- Damon, let her speak! Stefan said.
- Do you think her story is different than mine?
- Damon, please, you are not helping! Elena complained.
- I'm not trying to help Elena, I'm trying to explain what happened last night, so that St. Stefan here can understand why I bit you and still we slept in the same bed…
Elena looked at Damon having an entire conversation without neither one of them saying a word. Damon made a gesture with his hand to make her continue.
- Like Damon said, I got lost in the woods. Damon found me a few minutes before the man at the bar did. He tried to shoot me. Damon protected me and got shot, what seemed like a hundred times. Because he thought I was a vampire, the bullets were made of wood and vervain.
- As you can guess, brother, he got me pretty bad. Damon interrupted.
-So you thought why not bite Elena to make you feel better? Stefan said sarcastically.
- Actually Stefan, I offered. And I had to insist a couple of times because he wouldn't do it! Elena explained looking at Damon. Stefan looked at his brother then at Elena, and there it was… one of those moments between them, when they were having a mutual understanding that he would never be part of.
Elena took a step back, as a defiance mechanism against Damon's blue lasers.
- He looked really bad Stefan, I panicked. I had to do something.
- Come one Stefan lets skip the drama! I would've been dead if wasn't for her. Now, I know you would've liked that, but it didn't happen, so, drop it!
- Damon, he is just trying to understand what happened.
- Yea, I'm sure! Damon replied.
Elena chose to ignore him by getting on with the story.
- Anyway, he recovered, but I passed out. He had to bring me home. When he put me on the bed, I regained consciousness and I told him to stay. I was scared and I just didn't want to be alone!
After Stefan got his explanation he kissed Elena, and him and Damon left, leaving her alone. She immediately jumped into the shower.
