A/N: I watched the comic-con trailer and I'm freaking out! But seriously? It was hardly five seconds of new clips and they're going to make us wait a whole two and a half months more. *Goes to the closet and sobs* Ok now I'm back.

So I know that what happens in the story is probably never going to happen in the show but this is pretty much what I thought of what might happen. In the show Damon's probably going to leave without telling. The scene where Damon gets pissed at Stefan for not saving her takes place while they're gone back to the mansion at night. I'm going to leave that for you to watch in the show. This is getting too long so I'm going to stop now.

Short chapter but I'll get the next one up really soon!

P.S: Read the dialogues the way they talk, its more fun that way.

CHAPTER 3

She hadn't bothered changing her clothes; she had just put on a coat and was driving to the Salvatore mansion. Stefan had said he would be at her house, waiting. She knew he was giving her alone time to convince Damon. The sun was slowly coming up and she had been tempted to take off her necklace and see what it would feel like to burn under the sun. She knew it would hurt but she was fascinated by her new body.

Upon reaching the mansion she got out of the car and walked into the house. She didn't bother knocking; she knew it was never locked. She stepped inside and looked around for Damon.

Well he wasn't in the living room.

'Damon!'

No reply. Shit.

'Damon!' she tried again but still his smirking face didn't appear before her and panic started bubbling inside her.

She rushed from room to room but no one was in the kitchen or patio or anywhere downstairs. She went to his room but he wasn't there either. Tears started forming in her eyes and she took out her phone to dial Stefan's number but she heard a woosh and turned around to see Damon standing there,way close to her. The buttons of his shirt were open and it was doing a great deal to distract her.

He smirked, watching her watching him. She stepped back two feet in order to think straight. She hadn't realized exactly what Caroline had meant about being way hornier after turning, until now.

She noticed he was holding a bottle of bourbon which was more than three quarters downed. So he was drunk, that was either really good for her or really bad.

'So what brings you here?' he said, looking at her bare legs. 'And where's my dear brother?'

She went straight to the point and couldn't help that her voice had gone stiff. 'He told me, about you leaving.'

Damon raised his eyebrows 'Did he now? I shouldn't trust him with information, especially when he always goes and spills to you.' His words were slurred, Elena noticed, along with the fact that he had been inching closer and closer to her and she was now worried about being backed into a wall.

'Well you can't leave,' Elena said determinedly.

Damon suddenly looked angry. 'Why?' he demanded. 'You made your choice, and it wasn't me.'

'What, so you're just leaving!' Elena shouted.

'Yes I'm leaving.' His voice softened. 'But it's to make you happy.'

'And what makes you think I can't be happy when you're here?'

She turned to face the wall and crossed her arms, hoping to get the message across that she was angry. It was also to hide her pain.

He came to stand behind her and started tracing patterns on her legs 'Do you know how much it hurts to not be able to hold you?'

She wanted so bad to forget everything and tell him to screw her senseless but she had to focused. 'You still can't leave.'

'And what makes you think that?' His head was buried in her neck and it made her shiver. She was sure if he kept this up she wouldn't be able to refuse but just then Damon's phone rang. It was the most ridiculous ringtone she had ever heard and it completely ruined the delicate mood. Now she just wanted to laugh at the annoying sounds coming from the phone.

Damon sighed, exasperated. 'Why is blondie calling now?'

Elena stifled laughter. 'That's the ringtone you set for her?'

'Well it's only as annoying as her,' he said and went over to pick it up. He usually would never do it but he had been receiving calls from her for the past half hour.

'What?' he growled into the phone.

'Is Elena there? I've been trying to call her for ages.' Caroline sounded like she was having difficulty breathing. 'I need to talk to her.'

'Whoa there, you didn't get bitten by a werewolf too did you?' Damon frowned while taking the phone to Elena.

'No…' she paused. 'It's Tyler- he's alive.'

'He's what!' Damon yelled.

'Just give it to Elena,' Caroline pleaded and he obliged.

'Why can[t people stay dead in this town?' he muttered as Elena talked on the phone. Five minutes later she put it down.

'Apparently Tyler's alive,' she declared.

'Yeah I got that much. But how? He was definitely sired by Klaus. But then we thought we were too…' he trailed off.

'You know things usually never make sense in our lives,' she sighed and sat on his bed and he came to sit beside her.

'But we always figure it out.'

He studied her. Her eyebrows were furrowed in worry. He thought she worried way too much for everyone. But that's what drew him to her. She had cared for him when no one else could ever have. Even when he was a monster she was his friend, she kept urging him that he could be better, that she cared for him. And that's what made him fall in love with her. God, she was so beautiful. He wanted to reach out and stroke her cheek. He wanted to hold her and make all her worries go away.

But he couldn't. Not now, probably not ever.

She looked at him with pleading eyes. 'Please stay Damon. Just for a little while, I need you. All of us need you.'

He almost scoffed then; why would anyone need him? But she looked like she would cry if his answer was no. Maybe he'd stay, maybe just for a little while. Then he'd leave, just like he'd promised his brother. Just like his brother had promised him if Elena chose him. Too bad things never went the way he wanted them to. Now it was Stefan who got to spend all of eternity with her.

She was still looking at him expectantly.

He got up. 'Only for a little while.'

She breathed in relief and got up too. 'Thanks.'

He nodded. 'I mean you sure could still use me as a bodyguard.' She laughed at that and it made him feel warm inside. Or probably not. He was a vampire, he reminded himself- cold, hard, unforgiving. He couldn't possibly feel.

'I should get going. Jeremy's going to worry.' She reached out and pulled him in a hug, her slim arms around his neck.

She pulled back and he rolled his eyes to lighten the moment. 'You humans and your worrying. Oh, wait, but you're not human anymore… and still you worry.'

She stuck her tongue out at him and left.

Now, on to the detective work.

Review! And thanks to everyone who follows the story =)
