Chapter 6

Elena's POV

"Hello Elena, it's nice to see you again after 7 years... oh my, don't you look great?" my spine shivered at the last bit of what he said.

I froze in my spot, paralysed by the sight of the one and only; Tyler Lockwood. He was in his doctor uniform holding my forms, smiling his ass off. Would it be okay if I slapped him right there and now? I was not ready for this; I was not ready to face the devil in disguise. Why did I punch a mirror? I guess, the superstition of breaking a mirror and getting 7 years of bad luck is true and it started from today. I needed to be strong otherwise Tyler might use this advantage of me being weak as a way to break me.

"Follow me," Tyler said giving me his smirk.

That smirk did not suite him, the only person who actually looked good with a smirk was surprisingly Damon. I forced out a smile and walked behind him with Damon walking next to me. I guess with Damon here, I actually felt safe. I stole a glance at Damon and noticed he was staring intently at me; I sent him a smile and saw him returning it.

Tyler decided to break up the moment unknowingly and turned towards Damon and smirked at him before speaking,

"Damon, I never pegged you for the man who'd go after both twins..." Tyler sneered,

I saw Damon's jaw lock "I never pegged you for the man to end up being a doctor when your brain is clearly fucked up, and I'm not going after Elena, I wouldn't cheat on Katherine unlike some people." Damon quipped.

"Well, I've had a taste of both twins and let me tell you. Elena was better, so you're wasting your time with Katherine." He whispered very loudly, sending me a wink.

My mouth dropped open; I can't believe he just said that. I opened my mouth to deny it but I couldn't answer him. Damon also had a shocked expression; he turned his head towards me and I immediately looked at the ground ashamed of myself, I felt his mouth near my ears and it started being filled with his velvety voice.

"You have some explaining to do." He said seriously

I gulped, my heart stopped beating for a second, and I could still feel my ear tingling after 10 seconds. Why was I feeling like this towards Damon? We walked into Tyler's office and I sat down across from his seat and Damon sat next to me, I started wondering whether Tyler was going to try something, anything at all. I heard someone's phone ringing, it was Damon's. He took it out and answered it, the person he was talking to was Katherine so he excused himself and told he was coming right back, then he left the room.

Tyler sat down and grabbed my injured hand, I let out a gasp because of how much pain that made me feel, he started unwrapping the bandage roughly, causing more shocks of pain shooting through me. What the hell is wrong with him, this is not how you treat a patient. Is he insane?

I had to say something; the pain was just too much "Tyler, that fucking hurts." I spat

"Well, you should have been more careful then, shouldn't you? You'll need some stitches; I'll call the nurse to numb your hand." He said not giving a fuck if I felt any pain; he walked out the door closing the door loudly.

I looked at my hand, it looked worse than before, around the wrist it had turn a purple colour and it was swollen, and the cut went through my knuckles and made the skin split. I guess I hated Tyler more than Damon, was I hating on the wrong guy all these years? But when you come to think of it Damon told everyone which led to Tyler nearly raping me; it is kind of Damon's fault...

Damon's words kept repeating in my head 'You have some explaining to do' what am I supposed to say to him? I didn't want to make anything worse than it is already; I mean he already feels bad... I am so confused. I shouldn't have gotten on that plane; I would've told Katherine to stick it up her ass and have a good life.

The door opened and the nurse and Tyler came in; the nurse told me that they're dissolvable so that's a good thing; at least I don't have to see Tyler for a long time, after they numbed my hand Tyler started putting in the stitches. I was thanking the gods that my hand was numb because it looked as if Tyler was just sticking it in a forcing it together with the thread. Where the hell is Damon? I started looking around; Tyler noticed me and started talking.

"If you're looking for Damon, he's outside talking to his fiancé; it looks as if they're having an argument so he's going to be outside for a long time." Tyler said looking at my lips then looking back into my eyes

"Tyler, stay the fuck away from me." I snarled knowing what he's going to do; he was going to repeat what happened all those years ago.

"Come on Elena, I haven't finished with you yet." He said standing up and walking towards me

"Didn't you get the message when I bit your tongue?" I asked incredulously, I stood up from my chair and took steps backwards when he took steps forward.

He let out a moan, "Man, you're a feisty one aren't you? I bet you're a little minx in bed."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled

Just like 7 years ago, he took me from my neck and started kissing me forcefully, he stuck his tongue down my throat, I kept kicking and thrashing but he tightened the grip around my neck; I couldn't breathe. Next I felt his filthy hands make his way under my shirt and started cupping my bra. I felt the tears falling down my cheek; this was happening all over again. The one thing that was on my mind was; I need Damon.

Damon's POV

Sometimes Katherine could take it too over the top, I scratched my head in frustration.

"Katherine, we're only booking caterer's I don't think our parents need to be there with us." I said not liking the idea.

"But the food is important for the wedding, what if they don't like it?" Katherine explained

"Katherine it's our wedding. Not theirs." I grounded out

"Well, I've already invited them to come with us, along with the rest of the gang." She stated

"WHAT!" I yelled

"I'm sorry; it's just that they would all feel left out." She murmured

"Look, we've argued for 10 minutes already and a certain Tyler Lockwood is the doctor doing Elena's stitches, I just saw the nurse come out of the room." I said trying to change the subject, there was no point arguing.

"WHAT? Damon why the hell are you still talking to me? Check if Elena's okay, he's mentally disabled!" Katherine screeched and ended the call.

I put my phone in my jean pocket and opened the door. There I saw Elena in her bra, her top was thrown across the room and she was being held by the neck by Tyler who was busy sticking his tongue down her throat and trying to take her trousers off. My vision turned red; I ran and pushed Tyler off of her, I punched him in the face until it started bleeding and I started kicking his stomach. Tyler started coughing out loads of blood and was groaning in pain on the floor. I picked him up the throat and pushed him against the wall.

"If I hear from Elena that you go anywhere near her again, so help me God, I will fucking kill you. You got that?" I seethed

I heard him grunt out a "yes" and I dropped him on the ground, he stood up and made his way out of the room. I turned towards Elena, she was slumped against the wall crying her eyes out, and I picked up her shirt from the floor and gave it to her. She put her shirt on without looking at me, she kept her head down. I crouched down in front of her and lifted her chin gently so that she looked into my eyes.

"I will never let him touch you again, I promise." I said honestly

"Don't make promises that you can't keep." She replied

"Elena, don't say that. We may argue a lot but I would never let you get raped." I said wiping the tears that fell down her brown eyes

Elena nodded her head but she still looked broken, worn-out, and vulnerable; there was no sign of the feisty Elena who fought back, there was no sign of the Elena I knew and this made my heart-break a little. She still looked beautiful. I wrapped my arms around her wanting her to feel safe and protected, I felt the electricity flowing between us; somehow this felt right, we stayed there for a couple of minutes, I inhaled her scent it smelled so nice. We walked out of the hospital making our way towards the car hoping Tyler learnt his lesson.

We were driving our way back to the Salvatore boarding house; I kept looking at Elena from the corner of my eyes she was staring at me. If I didn't pick up to Katherine's call, this wouldn't have happened. I would've stopped all of this. Somehow I felt partly to blame.

"You won't tell Katherine about this will you?" she asked breaking the silence

"Elena, you can't keep something like this from your family." I said shaking my head

"But-"she started

"What are you afraid of?" I interrupted, knowing she was going to make up some stupid excuse

"That they would think differently of me, they'll think I'm weak!" she murmured

"They won't, they'll think you're strong that you went through all that." I tried reasoning with her

"Yeah, and what would your friends say?" she shot back

She had a point; they would mock her and use it as a way to get to her.

"You're Elena Gilbert, you don't care what people think, you're the strong, you're feisty, and you love to challenge people." I said encouragingly

She snorted "You know, ever since you told everyone that I was a whore and that I slept with you, I pretended I was okay with it but on the inside I was breaking apart to every single word they said to me! You don't know how it felt like all those years ago, every class I went to, people would send me notes saying I was a whore; they would whisper it in my ear, they would say it in the hallways. Why did you do it?" she said her voice breaking at the end, she had tears pouring out of her eyes.

I was feeling it again; guilt.

"You will probably hate me more after hearing this but I was a stupid 18-year-old. Kol asked me to do a favor for him, he wanted me to gather up a crowd and tell everyone that you were a whore and that you slept with me. He told me that he would pay me and I thought it made a good revenge for you for taking that picture of me and Vicki at that party, I knew you deleted that picture but I wanted to see your reaction. I'm stupid. And I know you probably hate me now… But I felt guilty; I didn't feel any better when he gave that money to me. I'm sorry." I said wanting to see her reaction.

Luck was on my side today as Elena sent me a broken smile while wiping her tears.

"I didn't hate you because of what you did; I hate you because of what happened later that day… Thank you for apologizing, I appreciate it." She let out a sigh and before I could ask what happened we've already arrived at the house.

We both made our way indoors, and stopped when we saw who was here. Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Matt, Jeremy, Kol, Klaus, Rebekah, Katherine, My parents and Katherine's parents was there sitting in the parlor, talking and laughing; I felt Elena tense and quickly walked off saying she needed to take a quick shower.

I greeted everyone and sat down; everyone was looking at me in a weird way, they had their eyebrows up waiting for to say something; then I got the message. Oh shit. Do I say what happened between Tyler and Elena?

I cleared my throat, "Elena's fine she just had to get stitches..."

"We clearly see that since she's alive and walking but Katherine told me that Tyler fucking Lockwood was the doctor!" Caroline screamed

"There may have been an incident…" I said letting it out

"WHAT INCIDENT?" everyone shouted together.

"Elena nearly got raped by Tyler, after talking to Katherine on the phone I found Tyler holding her by the neck and sticking his tongue in Elena's mouth." I said not wanting to say the bit where her top was off.

I looked at everyone, it was complete silence until Bonnie jumped up and screamed "How dare that prick do that to Elena for the second time!" she was completely livid, her face was red. Everybody including me looked at Bonnie, our mouths were gaped open and we screamed simultaneously "WHAT?"

Next thing I saw was Elena running out the front door and slamming it behind her. Bonnie noticed her slip up and said "Shit."

That was exactly what I was thinking.
