Chapter 5

Damon's POV

I felt my eyes drooping and suddenly I heard a loud noise of something being shattered... Was someone trying to break in? I jumped out of bed to investigate... I was still in my boxers, I looked at Katherine who was still asleep, god she was such a deep sleeper. I walked around the hallways downstairs and searched for any signs of breaking in, there was none... I'm pretty sure I heard glass shattering or was I going mad? I climbed back up the stairs and noticed Elijah in front of Elena's door knocking and shouting Elena's name, he turned towards me and sighed in relief,

"Damon, do you have spare keys to the room? I heard glass shattering coming from Elena's room then I heard Elena crying I'm worried if anything happened to her." Elijah said panicking.

"Urrmm yeah let me go get it." I went into my room and got the spare keys that were in my drawer and came back, I hurried a little wondering whether or not Elena was okay. I turned the key and opened the door, Elijah came in and started calling for Elena but there was no answer. My heart started beating loudly, what if something happened to her? Was she kidnapped? I noticed the bathroom door slightly ajar, I made my way towards it and opened the door completely; I let out a gasp to what I saw before me...

I stood frozen in place trying to speak but nothing come out of my mouth; I basically looked like a fish.

Elijah came behind me and tried lightening up the mood by saying,

"I believe the term you're looking for is OMG."

This earned him a smack on the head from me. Elena was on the floor, was she unconscious? The scarlet red substance was pouring out of her injured hand. The shattered mirror was all over the countertop covered in Elena's blood. Did she punch the mirror? What the hell happened? Was this my fault? I rushed towards her with Elijah hot on my trail; I checked her pulse, I let out a big sigh of relieve when I found out she had a normal heart rate and was just sleeping.

I picked her up bridal style and placed her on the bed; even though we're enemies, I would never leave her Injured, especially when there's a big possibility that it's my fault.

"Looks like Damon Salvatore does care about Elena Gilbert..." sing songed Elijah

"Elijah, get the fuck out." I snapped pointing at the door.

"But-"he started saying but got interrupted

"I got it from here." I said starting to lose my temper

Elijah put his hands up in surrender, looked at Elena and walked out looking pissed. I'm 99.9% sure he likes Elena, an image of Elena and Elijah together appeared in my head. They would not suite; it should be Elena and I. DAMON! You fucking prick, don't go there. I shook my head trying to take the image of Elena and me out of my head. This is so wrong.

I was ripped away from my thoughts by Elena's snappy voice "You didn't have to do that."

"Do what?" trying to not sound angry

"Kick Elijah out, he was only trying to help." She retorted

"Yeah, well he was pissing me off; you stay here while I get the first aid kit." I said trying to change the subject, before she could protest I started walking out of the room.

Elena's POV

Why the hell is he helping me? Last time I checked, Damon Salvatore had no caring bone in his body especially when it came to Elena Gilbert. Maybe he felt regret? I don't know; he is so bi-polar. I started feeling the effects of punching my hand in the mirror; my hand was stinging not to mention blood was trickling down on to my stomach. I let out a groan; I should've changed before I punched the mirror, god, I am so stupid!

I watched Damon walk back in to the room holding the first aid kit and a wet face towel; it only came to me now of how Damon was only wearing his boxers. He had perfect abs. It made me want to...Elena don't go there, he's getting married to your sister. I looked Damon's face, he was smirking. Oh, that's just great, he caught me staring. I felt myself blush.

"Looking at how perfect my body is, Elena?" he said cockily

"Shut up. Look you don't have to help me, just give me the first aid kit and I'll do it myself." I said trying to change the subject mostly because I didn't want to accept the fact that he was right.

"Elena, I've changed throughout the years," he started saying,

I snorted, yeah right.

He glared at me before carrying on, "I'm not that heartless, and plus your sister would probably kill me knowing that I didn't help you especially since you're the maid of honour."

He was right yet again...about my sister part, I hardly believed he wasn't a heartless man. I let out a second groan thinking about my sister.

"Katherine's going to kill me." I said talking mostly to myself forgetting that Damon was in front of me.

"That she will, and why the hell did you punch a mirror?" Damon asked curiously

"I got lost in the moment." I answered

I watched Damon's face scrunch up in confusion, "You, Elena Gilbert are a weird one."

"I'd rather be called that than a whore." I said letting some of the truth slip, I pressed my lips together making sure I didn't tell the rest of the truth.

I saw Damon's eyes cloud with guilt; he gulped before taking my injured hand and examining it, I felt a shock of electricity and we both jumped back. We both looked at each other and I knew he felt it as well; He cleared his throat and carried on examining my hand. He started wiping my hand with the wet face towel gently trying his hardest to not cause any more pain. I guess he did change over the years... I looked at his facial expression when he noticed that there was deep cut on my knuckles and he also noticed the bruise he created on my wrist; his jaws locked instantly, his eyes turned a shade lighter probably because of the guilt. He took the bandage and started wrapping it around my hand gently.

"You need to go to a hospital; your cut is pretty deep, I'll take you there since it was my fault." He muttered

"Can I get changed first?" I asked starting to feel a little guilty

"Yeah, let me just change as well and we'll be on our way." He said standing up, gathering the stuff and walked out of the room closing the door behind him quite loudly.

Maybe I should at least try not hating him that much...I guess he wasn't heartless. It was his walls coming back up.

Damon's POV

I walked back into my room; completely confused about the moment we had, at least now I knew the reason why she hates me but why does it look like she's hiding something more? I saw Katherine starting to wake up, she smiled at me lovingly, and I returned the smile and lied down next to her.

"Morning." She sighed before pecking my cheek.

"Morning, I have to take Elena to the hospital because she hurt her knuckles." I said quickly kissing her on the lips and walking towards my wardrobe but not before seeing Katherine's eyes widen.

"What happened?" Katherine said in a worried tone

"She punched a mirror..." I put on a John Varvatos shirt and my jeans as quickly as I can, then made my way to the bathroom

"She what?!" she screeched as I started brushing my teeth

Elena was going to kill me. I finished brushing my teeth and I explained what happened excluding the bit where I tried forcing the truth out of Elena.

"Wait, you went into her room only in your boxers?" She asked suspiciously

"Does it sound like I was able to get change while your sister was injured?" I asked trying to prove my point that Elena and I did not do anything.

"No, I'm sorry. "She said quietly

"Do you want to come with us?" I asked hoping she would say yes so that the car ride wouldn't be so awkward.

"We have guests remember?" she said smiling

"Oh yeah" I said trying not to sound disappointed.

"Remember our plans today." She raised her eye brows

"Who would forget booking caterers for our wedding? and plus we get to eat free food." I replied loving the way her eyes shone of excitement

"I love you." She said being serious

"Everyone loves me." I said joking around

Katherine grumbled "you're a dick"

"You love my dick." I shot back and stuck out my tongue

I put on my combat boots and gave my fiancé a passionate kiss, and leaving the room to go drop Elena off.

I knocked on Elena's door and heard her say "Come in". I strolled into her room and saw her gathering her stuff to put in her bag. She was wearing burgundy coloured skinny jeans, grey lace front sweat shirt and grey vans. I practically had to bite my tongue for commenting how hot she looked. I noticed the bathroom door was completely open and I saw that everything was tidied up. I decided not to comment on it otherwise she might snap at me again about all those years ago.

"By the way, I kind of had to tell Katherine what happened..." I said waiting for her to unleash her inner beast

"Well then, I think we should go quickly before she starts questioning huh?" She said playfully walking quickly towards the front door.

Wait, was she starting to be nice to me? I shook my head in disbelieve and walked after her with a smile on my face.

Once we were in the car, I started telling Elena what happened so far. I noticed that Elena was uncomfortable; it's probably because we didn't really talk. But was this one step into being acquaintances? Should I say sorry about earlier? Wait what if she's not ready to talk about it. Would this ruin the mood? Maybe I could ask why she hates me...nicely this time. What if she storms out of the car? This is so frustrating. Fuck it, I'm going in...

Elena's POV

We sat in a comfortable silence, from the corner of my eye I noticed that Damon's face was scrunched up in confusion; it looked like he was having an argument with his inner self. It was quite funny; I looked out of the window and noticed everything was the same in mystic falls except for the fact that everything just looked older.

"Look Elena, I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have forced you to answer me." Damon said breaking the silence

"Its fine, I'm over it." I spoke abruptly

"No it's not Elena; you punched a mirror, who knows what injuries you may have because of that!" his voice implying that he was genuinely worried.

"It's just that it brought back memories from the past... you wouldn't understand." I said trying my hardest not to say the whole truth.

"You know, I heard you say that when we were picking you up from the airport, what do you actually mean?" he said being persistent

"Can we just drop it? Please?" I said nearly begging him.

"Fine." Damon said giving up

We drove the rest of the journey in silence.

When we arrived at the hospital, I went up to the receptionist and told her that I needed to see a doctor quickly. She gave me forms to sign and I filled it all out as quickly as possible hoping waiting didn't take too long. I gave it to her and sat down next to a seat where Damon was sitting down; he looked tired, I decided to be nice to him just for today since he did help with my hand.

"Damon you can go home if you want, this is probably going to take long and your fiancé is probably going to start with some wedding plans today." I asked in my nicest possible voice

"No it's fine, I'd rather drop you home knowing that you're safe than with some random stranger in a taxi. And Katherine booked some caterers we have to visit; Katherine wants the Mikaelson siblings, you and my brother to come along with us." He responded

"Ohh... okay, thanks for your concern I guess..." This was really awkward; Damon and I didn't do NICE. I don't know what I'm supposed to do... Was I supposed to give him a hug? No, that's just freaky.

For like the hundredth time today we fell into silence which I'm thankful for, I thought about in the car how he was really worried about me. Should I tell him about Tyler? But what would he say? Urrrgghhh! This was so frustrating.

The only person who I've ever told about Tyler was Bonnie; she was the person who I knew would keep the secret safe. I remember telling her over the phone what happened, she was completely livid, she swore that she would never ever forgive Damon. Bonnie was the person who supported me, even though Katherine was my sister she had a big mouth along with Caroline who practically was the one letting out the big secrets of everyone, I couldn't tell them, it was too risky. I remembered when Damon got kicked in his groin 3 times by the girls and got punched in his face 4 times by the boys. I knew if I told the boys, they would probably beat Damon and Tyler to death. Even though I hated them so much, they didn't deserve death.

I got interrupted from my thoughts by the voice of the person who I never wanted to come across ever again in my life.

"Hello Elena..."
