I grabbed a glass of water and popped two Advil. I swallowed hard. I tried to think of all that happened last night. Jeremy was still not talking to me and the Katherine visions kept getting worse. I felt like I was losing control of my self. I didn't know if I should tell Stefan but there was someone I could tell that probably wouldn't say something.

I knocked on the door and waited anxiously.

"You don't have to knock you can just come in." he said.

"I know." I replied. "Are you sure he's not here?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes. "Yes he's hunting all day." Damon said.

I stepped inside and he closed the door behind me.

"So what is with the secrets?" Damon raised an eyebrow.

I rolled my eyes.

"Damon something is wrong." I said. He looked at me questioningly and I swallowed. "I can't tell Stefan."

"Aw but you can tell me?" he said with a smile.

I let out a sigh. "Yes."

He seemed to enjoy the fact that I could tell him something and not Stefan. It made me happy and uncomfortable at the same time.

"I, I need to know what really happen." I said.

"About?" he asked.

"With Katherine. I need to know the whole story. Beginning to end." I sat moving nervously in my seat.

He hesitated.

"Why?" he asked.

"Just because." I said.

I was planning to tell Damon but I needed to know the story first.

"Stephan and I were close. We didn't have the loving relationship we have now." He said sarcastically. "We were brothers. We usually never fought but I knew the moment Katherine walked into our lives, things would change." He said.

I looked at Damon with sympathy.

"I remember the day she first stepped into our lives, things changed forever. When she walked out of that chariot, I almost fainted. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, her brown eyes were just like yours, they were big and filled with this passion yet still held this intense factor. I knew I loved her the first time I saw her, but I also knew Stefan felt the same. I was hoping he wouldn't follow through with his liking of her but he did." He said looking down.

"He went after her and for a while I stood in the darkness watching them be happy together, but then one day Katherine came to me and told me how she felt about me and that she wanted to be together forever. " He said. "She told me all about the vampires and how she was one, at first I thought she was crazy but then she showed me what happens when they are hungry. Her eyes, they were so dark and creepy. She told me she wanted us to be together forever."

"Did Stefan know she was telling you this stuff?" I asked, shifting in my seat.

"Stefan didn't even know what Katherine was. He was unaware of the fact that she was in love with both of us, as was I at the time."

I nodded my head and then let him continue.

"She told me she loved me and wanted us to be together forever and that the only way that that could happen is if she changed me. She let me feed on her blood every day. But little did I know she was also compelling Stefan to drink it too." He said. "She wanted us to be together forever." He emphasized the word forever with a disgusted tone.

He took a sip of scotch and continued.

"When they captured Katherine that night, when we both tried to save her, we were both killed."

My mind came together and I finally realized what he was getting at.

"And when you were killed after drinking her blood, you were in transition." I added.

"Yes." He said.

"We thought Katherine was dead, but she managed to escape, leaving us to die unless we both drank human blood. Stefan was the first to drink, then he told me how it helped him get rid of the guilt." He said.

"You see Elena, I didn't want to be a monster I was going to let myself die so I wouldn't kill an innocent human but Stefan told me that you could get rid of the guilt when you were one of them. He brought some girl to me and I could resist her blood." He paused. "So I drank it. I guess Katherine got what she wanted, both of us turned and still in love with her." He had a pained look on his face.

"Elena I looked for her for years, you have no idea how hard it was. Then one day I realized after the tomb had been opened that I needed to stop. This woman was torturing my brother and me. She was pulling us apart. She had changed us and then didn't bother to stick around even though she was still alive. I thought I had lost everything then I opened my eyes for the first time and I realized that I had you."

A shocked expression came out of my mouth; did he really just say that?

"You were like my own little piece of her. Not only because you resembled her but because were nothing like her, you are the complete opposite of Katherine and that's what I liked."

I let out a sigh.

"What are you saying Damon?" I asked.

"Nothing I just wanted to tell you the whole story." He said.

"Oh." I replied.

"So now that I have told you everything I get to ask on thing."

"What?" I said.

"Why the sudden interest in this?" he asked.

I opened my mouth but then the sound of a door creaking open distracted me.

"It's Stefan." He told me.

"I can't let him know that I was here." I hissed.

Damon chuckled and pointed toward the staircase.

I ran as fast I could without being loud.

I reached the top and Damon pointed to a room. It was his.

"Is this a way to get out or get me in here." I whisper yelled.

He grinned. "Maybe."

I hit him as hard as I could. "Not funny now how do I get out?"

"Relax he's in the bathroom, probably brushing his teeth." Damon teased.

"Just get under the bed." He motioned towards it.

I looked at him suspiciously but then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and slid under cautiously.

"Ugh." I groaned as I slid next to a pair of his boxers.

I heard him laugh; he clearly knew they were there.

"Oh back from hunting so soon?" I heard Damon say.

"Humph." I heard Stefan huff.

I rolled my eyes Damon just couldn't leave him alone, but then I realized Damon had a right to be mad at Stefan, I mean he did kind of steal the girl and then the girl broke both of their hearts.

"So I was thinking of going over to Elena's later, you know to have our friendship conversations." Damon said.

Friendship conversations? What the hell was he talking about?

"Damon, just don't go there." Stefan warned.

"Well she must feel as though she can talk to me and not you." Damon said.

"And how is that?" Stefan asked.

"Because she jus-" Damon cut off mid sentence before he messed up everything. "It just is." He said saving us both.

"Damon I mean it, you stay the hell away from her, and we both know what this is about. I know you love her and it would be best it you just left her alone."

I gasped at what I had just heard, but then quickly covered my mouth before anything else escaped that could blow my cover.

Did Damon really love me?

It was silent for a while.

"We are friends Stefan, friends that can talk to each other about anything." Damon said.

I could hear it in his voice that he was trying to make things less awkward.

Stefan growled silently and walked away.

"You heard me Damon." He warned as his voice faded in the distance.

Suddenly something grabbed my arm and I jumped.

"Relax it's just me." Damon said. "Now get out before I leave you down there for good. He teased.

I was glad their conversation was over, I didn't want to hear anymore and I didn't have to tell Damon what I really came for, to tell him about the dreams and visions.

He helped me up and looked around. Suddenly he flung open his window and jumped out.

"What the hell Damon." I yelled quietly.

He smiled.

"Jump." He ordered.

Was he stupid, jump from a three-story building?

"Are you crazy?" I asked.

Even though I was three stories up I could still see his eyes roll.

"Common Elena I don't bite." He said. "Hard." He added on and winked.

I gave a disgusted face and climbed out the window without even thinking I jumped.

His arms were there in a second and they cradled me.

"See I told you, you could trust me." He said.

I had a feeling there was more meaning behind what he had just said than what it seemed.

He put me down on my feet and jogged to the doorstep, I turned to walk away.

"Thanks." I turned back to tell him.

"Don't forget, I still want to know why you came to me and what you wanted to know this for." He warned, and then he was gone.

I turned on my heel and started to walk away.

He would know why I came, because in some weird way I did trust him. I trusted Damon Salvatore with my life.

So what did you think. i figured i would put a twist on things :) anyways pleaz reveiw and share your thoughts!
