Chapter 1

Elena didn't know what to do; she slid down the railing on Wickery Bridge holding onto it as she cried. Stefan had tried to turn her into a vampire by taking her off the same bridge that her parents and she had gone off. It was the same bridge he had saved her from death at and tonight he had tried to take her life here. She watched the car leave after she had refused to get back in it with him. She refused to even look at him after she had slapped him. It hadn't made her feel any better, slapping him. It had made her heart break even more.

Elena was sitting in the exact same place when Damon found her twenty minutes later. She refused to move even though it had started raining. "Elena, I promise you I won't let him near you again," Damon said trying to pry her fingers from the railing. He had just thought it was going to be a party for Caroline, no where in any of that had anybody mentioned that his now insane brother was going to try and kill the girl he had fallen in love with.

"He was going to turn me, he told Klaus he was going to make sure he could never make another hybrid," she said between chocked sobs, "I don't want to die," she had seen how hard it was for Caroline tonight and now she was at risk of becoming a vampire if she died before tomorrow night. "I just want everybody to be happy, but why can't I be happy?" she asked, "Why can't Caroline have her cake and eat it too? Why does Bonnie have to loose Jeremy, Why does Matt have to be alone, Why do I keep pushing you away when all I want is for you to hold me?" she asked tears mixing with rain as she finally let go of the railing.

"I can't answer most of those, but I can try to answer one," Damon said lifting her up off the soaking wet bridge. "You are always going to fight what your heart wants," he didn't care about the fact they were both wet or that they'd get his car wet, it could dry. What wouldn't be okay was if she got sick out in this weather. He had to get her back to her house and out of the wet clothes.

"I don't want to fight any more, I'm tired of getting the short end of everything," Elena said leaning against him as he drove. She didn't think it was possible to fall asleep, but she did but not before she said one last thing, "I want you, I pick you, Damon, I have to let him go," there was nothing left of the guy she fell in love with. Stefan was different and not even like when he'd been drinking behind their backs.

He really hoped that she wasn't saying that now and pretend like she didn't later. Damon didn't think his heart could take another sword through it. He parked his car on the street before carrying her inside and up to her bedroom. He wasn't caring right now about the other ideas he had in his mind hours earlier. Right now he had to get her into warm dry clothes before she got sick. Pneumonia would not be a good thing for her to catch.

Damon was watching her all night making sure she didn't get sick. He'd put two layers of blankets on her plus one of Jeremy's hoodies. He wanted to kick his brother's ass; first it was biting Elena, now feeding her his blood to turn her. He couldn't worry about that right now he had to make sure she didn't get sick. It was almost four now and she hadn't moved besides once to turn over all night. He got up from the chair going to her window looking out.

Why was it that the girl he loved so much still could love Stefan? He had to know, but then again she did say something about letting him go. Was she really going to let his brother go and pick him? He wasn't going to force the issue; she was the one that needed him right now. His need to know the truth could wait.

Elena opened her eyes not moving, but looking around the room. She felt okay a little hotter than usual, but the cover was probably the reason. She tried to kick it off, but it was impossible, somebody had her so wrapped into the covers she couldn't budge except to roll over. She didn't know why but she was calling out for Damon. Something just told her he would come, no matter what he would come for her.

She wasn't wrong either, he was beside her before she even blinked, "I have to use the bathroom," she said before he could even ask why she was struggling with the covers.

He gave her a smile, one that he reserved only for her before pulling the covers away and helping her up. She was up and in the bathroom practically running not even let him finish the question about her needing help. She didn't need help besides getting out of the covers and she sat on the toilet thinking about everything.

She hadn't been completely insane from the cold and rain earlier that night. She knew she had told him she wanted him, she had picked him over Stefan. She couldn't keep putting her heart out there to have it broken again and again. Damon never broke it, not once since they had known each other, sure he'd shocked her, scared her a little, made her want to kick his vampire ass, but not once had he ripped her heart out from the inside out.

She knew who Damon was, he was always hiding the good inside of him, and he didn't want others to know that he had it. She could see it though, the light behind his eyes, he had never made her think he was somebody else. He had hurt her feelings and a few other shocking things, but not once had he lied to her about anything. Even the night he killed Jeremy, she'd said she'd hated him so much, but it was Katherine she hated for what she had done to Damon.

Katherine had destroyed almost everything in him by telling him it would always be Stefan. Well Katherine could have Stefan because she was done with him. She finished up in the bathroom before going back into her bedroom. Damon was standing by the window again and she wished she could know what he was thinking about.

"Thank you, for saving me again," She said leaning against the door frame of the bathroom. She really couldn't count how many times they had saved each other.

"I'm sorry I broke the promise, that he wouldn't hurt you, I just never thought he'd show up there, tonight," Damon said, he still couldn't believe what his brother had done. It was supposed to be Caroline's birthday party, but it had ended badly. He already felt bad for Caroline. The girl drove him nuts, but he knew how she felt because he wanted Elena. Caroline wanted Tyler back, but nothing went as it was supposed to go.

"You didn't break it, not unless you're going to tell me you want to turn me too," She said trying to make a joke out of it because she didn't want to fall apart again.

"I don't want you to be a vampire, Elena, I want you just the way you are," he said moving beside her, "I was stupid last spring trying to do what I did," he watched her as she looked up, "I just couldn't imagine loosing you."

"You're not going to loose me, Damon," She knew what he meant by it too, some vampires came back different, or rather turned their humanity off, but he wasn't going to loose her because she wasn't going to die unless she asked him to turn her. "I don't want to be one now, but one day because I don't want to loose you," she surprised him this time by saying that, "When that day comes, I want it to be you that turns me, not anybody else, because I love you," she finally let the words come out.

She loved him, Damon, not Stefan, not since that front porch kiss, not since Damon stayed and took care of her. He always took care of her, even tonight when she thought she'd fall asleep and wake up still on that bridge. She hadn't realized she'd been saying all of that out loud, but when she felt his lips against hers she knew it.

She moaned into the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck. It felt right to be kissing him again. She'd dreamed about this so many nights. Waking up it always felt like a million miles away, the dream at least. She wanted him to be there when she woke up; to kiss her like this, to be kissed again like that night on her porch.

"I am not your brother's girl any more," she stated pulling away for much needed air. She wondered what he was going to say, was he going to claim her as his? She silently hoped he would say that and not something about her thinking it over. "What are you going to do about it?" she asked moving her hands to his waist trying to get his shirt up.

He didn't have to be asked twice because he was backing her up against the wall kissing her again. He'd spent months trying to save her, keep her safe until Stefan came back to his senses, but she just declared that she wasn't his brother's any more. She was not up for grabs though because he didn't want to own her, he wanted to love her.

She'd never felt what having her blood taking at her request could feel like; she'd only had it drawn against her will. She'd never exchanged blood willingly either, he was going to show her that and more. She had only given her blood to his brother, she had never once tasted Stefan's blood.

"This," was his answer to her question. He kissed every inch of her skin that he could get to with the hoodie on. He could hear her heart beat racing, she wanted what he was giving to her. "And this," the hoodie was off and tossed somewhere on her floor leaving her in nothing but her boy shorts.

Elena whimpered his lips catching her nipple, her fingers lacing into his hair keeping him there, "Oh god, Damon," She wasn't sure if she could wait much longer, he was licking, sucking nipping at her nipples giving each one of them a turn. He wasn't going fast though; he was taking his time giving each one a long suck before nipping at the side of her breast. His tongue was swiping over where he had worried with his teeth. He gently pushed them together licking between them and kissing each.

She was going to cum from this alone; she'd never had that experience. She was still standing, the wall being her support otherwise she would fall. Her head went back arching her back giving his mouth even more of her nipple. Her entire body was starting to shake as he kept his mouth going from one to the other. His hands holding her hips now so she didn't fall.

The sounds that she was making were music to his ears and he could smell her release as her juices flooded out. He was still holding her up as he kissed her lips claiming them and he could actually do that now. He didn't have to feel guilty or wish he could do it again because he didn't and he could. "Damon," she whimpered her body still coming down from the clouds.
