Episode (Chapter)5: Romeo and Juliet
After a long evening of first elimination from everyone. They all decided to stick around for a bit and chat in the main common room. There were friendly talking among everyone and a lot coming from the couples in the room. After what seem like an hour everyone decide to call it a night and go to bed. Stefan decides though he rather stay behind for more drinks as he is once again seeing Damon not going to bed, but at the bar all alone. Although, surprise this time that Damon hardly touch his glass since he got there after the rose ceremony. He was even not at all drunk where in fact he never look now almost his normal Damon self since he arrive on the island. Once everyone left to the quarters we see Stefan going to sit at the bar with Damon.
"That was some speech Damon." Stefan say to him making Damon turn to give him an uninteresting look.
"Yet you don't seem like your impressed by it." Damon say to him seeing this is not going to be your average heart to heart talk, but more like a lecture coming.
"Just saying!" Stefan put his hands up trying to act innocent. "Why Elena!? Out of all the girls why do you have to chase after her when she is a nice girl that deserves a man that won't treat her crap? It's funny that you had feelings for Katherine then all of sudden you're saying you starting to have feelings for Elena now."
"And you are saying that my feelings for Elena are not real?" Damon bad boy attitude showing so much towards Stefan.
"Well you have been spending your time here mostly drinking. Plus, not to mention going out with sexy girls when it looks like you are just here to get laid with them instead." Stefan accused.
"You're the one to talk. You try to steal Katherine away from me. Also, let not pretend to see that Caroline had feelings for you too even though you are too blind to see it." Damon accused back.
"I have no idea what you are taking about. Caroline can't have feelings for me. She with Klaus." Stefan say.
"Oops! Well I guess that is my bad that I say it too, but it is true. Ever since Caroline arrive here she has been drooling all over you, but you are too busy with that backstabbing bitch of women." Damon now angry at his brother.
"Watch it Brother." Stefan in his warning voice. "You made think that way, but I will never have you talk about or to Katherine that way."
Damon looks so hurt to see that his own brother really is choosing a girl over him.
"Stefan….Kat has you wrap up in her own little finger and you don't know it. You need to be careful and trust me on this. I... don't think she really loves you." Damon trying not to hurt his feelings.
"Like I said if that what you think, but you are wrong to question it. You need to stop these feelings of resentment that Katherine choose me over you." Stefan not believing any word what Damon had said.
"If you really do love Katherine then... you need to tell Caroline before she gets hurt. Trust me. If you don't talk to her. Then this will escalate in a drama too. I'm actually starting to see maybe it is not just her. It could be you too." Damon now concerned.
Stefan concerned face. "Fine I will. But promise me this Damon that you will try not to hurt Elena ok? As I say before Elena is a great girl and does not deserve to be use. I hope you will hear my warning too and not pursue her."
Damon gets off the stool. "Well I keep it in mine little brother."
Then he leaves out the common room while Stefan sit at the bar drinking in his thoughts.
The Main Beach…...
We see Damon now on the beach thinking as he watches the waves in front of him.
"I never felt this way for a women before since my last girlfriend die." Damon in thoughts as he could not help but watches the waves in front of him.
Damon could not help flashing back to the memories of meeting Elena for the first time as she comes down the steps where it was love at first sight, to seeing her on the beach far away, from the glances at each other, to seeing her at the rose ceremony, and now.
"It should have been me on that first date. But then again what if Stefan is right? That Elena deserve a better man. Maybe I can try to become one and that she will bring that light into my darkness of what I suffer so much in life." Damon suddenly had a light bulb in his head.
"You know. I don't need a date card to get Elena alone with me. There is another way." Damon then goes to the guy's quarters as we don't know what his up to.
Girls Quarters….
Katherine is asleep in bed knock out. While Bonnie and Caroline was still up talking in their bed room. Elena was on the balcony day dreaming.
As Bonnie looks at Elena with a sad, but day dreaming look. She goes to Caroline again as she talks about how excited she is with her relationship with Klaus, but is worry that they might be moving way too fast. However, it was interrupted by a loud snoring in the next room coming from Katherine.
"UGH! Look at that Queen Bee Bitch! Sleeping like a baby. She probably all smug like knowing she use Stefan just to be safe." Caroline say all judgy like.
"Caroline!" Bonnie say with a shame on you approach. "Anyways what matter is you should be happy for Stefan."
"I guess. I still…. I don't know. Don't get me wrong I happy for Stefan and that I am in a great relationship with Klaus, but I still do worry for him." Caroline said.
Bonnie look at Caroline with concern on her face. "Stefan is lucky to have a friend like you."
"True. However, I feel like me and him have not hang out a lot lately." Caroline with an agreement, but a disappointed face.
"How about now? I'm sure Stefan is sitting alone at the bar in the main hut when we left. Now your chance to go talk to him for a bit." Bonnie now encouraging her.
"I wish I could Bonnie, but I promise Jeremy that I will watch out for Elena and make sure she does not get into any trouble." Caroline say with still disappointment.
"Just go. I stay here and keep Elena company making sure she won't get into any trouble." Bonnie so sincere.
"I ….I don't know…. You sure…" Caroline hesitated.
"You go see Stefan and I will look out for our friend Elena." Bonnie say.
Caroline finally smiles. "OK! But just for a bit. Please Bonnie I am counting on you not to try anything and screw this up. Or else I will take you down with me for not doing my job."
"Good night Caroline see you in the morning." Bonnie smiles while batting her eyelashes as she tease her friend knowing Caroline probably going to be having a conversation with Stefan all night.
Caroline gives one last smile at Bonnie as she gets up and leaves to go see Stefan.
Elena walks in as Bonnie turns to her.
"Hey! You seem upset. What wrong Elena?" Bonnie ask as she patting the sit next to her.
"Do you ever feel…. confuse about your feelings for anyone Bonnie." Elena ask as she sits down.
"Actually…. I have a hard time at keeping a guy. Guys don't notice me well. Plus, when I was in grade school to college they will always choose the next girl and put me second instead of first." Bonnie look up at the night sky from the balcony and back to Elena.
"I hate that you never had a boyfriend before. You definitely deserve more than that Bonnie." Elena say to her.
"Thanks. But I think I will be ok. Plus, I got a good feeling me and Jeremy are going to work out well. But enough about me. Quick avoiding the subject." Bonnie say. "I know somewhere deep down inside those confuse feelings you have Elena you are start to feel something for Damon." Elena try to interrupt with denial, but Bonnie held a hand up to stop her. "Come on Elena. I think that you should not listen to your brother and follow your heart at giving Damon a chance. By chance you can start with this."
Bonnie pulls out from the pillow a paper that was a note from Damon.
Elena takes it and reads the letter:
Letter:
Elena,
I know I been a real asshole to everyone since you came on the island. But let me prove it to you that I can be that better man. For I have never stop thinking about how weak you have become of me. I have a special surprise for you tonight. Please meet me on beach by following the rose path.
Till then my Juliet,
Damon
Elena looks up with so much as to a wow look. Meanwhile Bonnie had an encouraging smile on her face. See while the girls was upstairs talking and taking showers. Bonnie step outside of the girl's quarter for some air and turns out Damon was there. She found out what Damon plan is and wanted to take this chance at helping her best friends now. Even if it means going behind the others backs she will do anything for them. Also, she wanted them to find love and happiness. Her flashback of the thought brought her back to Elena as she spoke.
"I don't know about this Bonnie. It might be dangerous to go see Damon. Not to mention Caroline and Jeremy might catch me." Elena so fearful of the consequences.
"Don't worry Jeremy is a sleep in bed with everyone else. I will cover for you here since Katherine is dead asleep anyways. As for Caroline…. You can kind say she is preoccupied at the moment." Bonnie finishes while shrugging with a smile.
Elena could not believe her luck. This was her chance to talk to Damon now. The only thing that is stopping her was her self-esteem.
"Go ON! Take the leap" Bonnie with a smile of encouragement.
Elena took a deep breath. "OK. Let me get ready."
The Main Beach (Secret Date)…..
We see many of the big and small pillow on the beach including some beds and chairs too. We see the small hut and bar outside is close. However, we see the main hunt in distance lights are still on as always. Everyone has gone to bed except for Stefan and Caroline who were in the main hunt as it seem. We see that also the raven man with ocean blue eyes was still up too. As he pick the white bed for it was the perfect spot for his secret date that was going to take place. The white bed was indeed perfect as it was just a good distance from the main hut and the sleeping quarters so that they can get that private time.
A brunette women dress in a short yet flowing dress from the distance of the beach found the rose path that was leading to where the raven hair men dress in light blue button shirt matching his eyes and black shorts stood as though he was waiting there only for her. She see that by the white canopy bed it look almost like a fluffy cloud with many of the white pillows on top and the flowing drapes on the side. Also, there is a chandler over the bed that really brightens it up and making it look elegant. When Elena got there she see that there was more roses and petals on top of the bed and ground. Also, there was strawberries and champagne there as well. Damon could not help but smile as he see the wow look on her face.
"I take it this must be a great surprise for you." Damon say with a smirk.
"It just… no one would go through this much trouble for me before. Damon…. It's wonderful!" Elena said with the huge smile as she felt so touch and amazed by this.
"I figure since I was not going to get another date card in while this was my way of saying what the heck. It's time I step up and make up our own date." Damon now not smirking but turn into a genius kind smile. "I… I hope you would like it."
"It's perfect" Elena said with a kind smile. "With all this romance and sneaky around Damon I feel like I am in Romeo and Juliet who had that forbidden love."
"Well then… But soft what like through on the window breaks. It is the east and… Elena is my sun." Damon ends acting all dramatic.
Elena smile giggling and does the same thing back. "Oh Damon… My Damon… Where for out thou Damon."
They both laugh for a bit that ended with hmm sound. Then Damon looks at her with a loving look as he takes her arms and hands leading her to sit down with him on the white canopy bed with her. They both hesitated to say something first, but one would look down or look out at the dark ocean in front of them. Damon finally breaks the awkward silence between them.
"Elena…. Are you happy here on the island so far?" Damon spoke gentle and nervous than he ever had before.
"Yes of course." Elena said while smiling back at him. "It's just I don't know if I will ever have feelings for anyone else. Not since …." Elena stop and then turn away from Damon by staring out into the dark ocean and starry night sky. So far it was another silence between them with nothing, but the water as the sound in the background as it splash to shore.
"But what?" Damon leaning in trying to be as support as ever.
"Sorry. It is kind of a long story that happen to me in the past." Elena say looking back at him and then down at her knees.
Damon take her chin and stroke her right side cheek. "Please tell me? I would love to hear it."
Elena did not know why, but she feel trustworthy to tell him what happen.
"A while back while I was in college. Me and a college friend name Aaron decide to go to a frat party. Where we was hoping to finally cut loose and have fun. I was so excited. This was going to be my first one. However, little did I know what I was getting myself into that night. I met this guy at the party his name was Liam. He was in charge of the pledge for guys. We was getting closer that night. He seem like the best guy on campus. Liam was on the honor roll 3 times, and he was studying to become a surgery." Elena wince in upset the more she goes on.
"He seem like your type of guy." Damon trying to sound polite, but could see the hurt in those chocolate brown eyes.
"He did. We went out for a year and it turn out he was not happy with our relationship, because I wanted to wait till I get married to have sex with a guy since my sister Katherine was rape from our father at so young. I wanted to see that when I do it. It will be with the person I love. Liam was not too happy about it of course. But he try to stick with it. Then when it was the annual Halloween party night at frat house as his girlfriend I went with him. Turn out he told his frat buddies about our relationship that they spill something into my drink, because after a couple hours in I started to feel dizzy and faint. So I headed to one of the bedrooms in the house for quiet and I almost pass out on the bed. The doors opens and out of my blurry eyes I see 5 of the frat guys walking in including Liam. I could not move as it was part of the drug. But I felt them ripping at clothes laughing and hearing one of them saying, "This is it Liam! You are finally getting what you want." In the meantime, I started screaming and saying no, but unfortunately nobody could hear me due to the music playing so loud and they was so drunk. One by one they all just…. Just …They just.."
Elena try to continue, however Damon understood. He now see why Elena is so nervous around men and why she lack confidence in herself. He also knows now that this women had just be a victim of gang raping. It did not stop Damon from showing his angrier at what happen to her as he ball a fist hand and had a look on his feature face.
"You should have report them to the university after what had happen to you." Damon say in a quiet and angry tone.
"I did of course. But it cost me a lot of hate from everyone in the University for getting them expelled. Aaron was the only true friend I had." Elena say quietly now looking down again.
"Elena I…" Damon did not what to say, but as she look up at Damon again he could feel the hurt and see the single tear threating to fall. He gently touch her cheek again wipe it away from her.
"It's ok. You don't have to feel sorry for me. You can see I never been this close to a man before ever since the incident that happen to me in the past life. I am so happy to get this courage to be able to date again." Elena now feeling better getting everything off her chest to Damon.
"Just know though I will never pressure you like that asshole did. You should be treat like a queen." Damon with determination.
Elena now lean in closer staring back into his ocean eyes. She could see that there was no hidden bad boy feature face. Plus, no fire of hate and that they were not cold anymore in his eyes. This was a look of kind, soft, and love in them.
"I do admit it is going to take baby step, but for some reason I am starting to feel safe around you." Elena spoken. "Damon you been so kind to me the most here. Why do you not show that goodness to everyone?"
Damon was caught off guard. "I guess in a way I was scary of getting hurt again. I do admit that I thought I was ready to find love, but I keep letting my past taunt me. Like how my mom died and my father never really love me, however, he love my brother Stefan more. Then there was Rose…" Damon goes on, but Elena interrupts him.
"Sorry but who she? Please tell me?" Elena say with concern.
"Rose and I had met at my job party. I thought she was going to be the women that I was going to stay with forever. She was kind and great to talk to almost like my mother. However, when it was our wedding day she collapse on the way walking down the aisle. The doctor gave a terrible news saying she dying with stage 3 of cancer and all we could do was to make her comfort. So I spend the last weeks with her and after she die I thought I could never love again. Most of the women I met was after my money. Then when I met Katherine here I thought it would be different but…." Damon say trailing off.
Elena grabs his hands and Damon gently rubs the back of her hands.
"I understand. I am so sorry to judge you." Elena say as it is true she did feel sorry for him as her heart ache with the pain he went through.
"It's not your fault. Even though I made not get along with your family right now I will never have you abandon them over me. I should be more consider to that like how you guys respect me and Stefan." Damon say. "Beside we can always start over."
"Like we are doing right now?" Elena say with a smile.
"Yep. Just like this." Damon in agreement.
They both start laughing again. Also, they are still holding hands as Damon rubs the back of her hands back and forth gently in his. Elena stares out at the ocean and starry night sky. As Damon does too.
"It's amazing though that we come so far from our past to now as we grow." Elena in wonder.
Damon could not agree more. "Yes. Life is a journey, but yet we travel down that journey as life is too short and we should live it to the..."
"Fullest!" Elena finishing Damon sentence as she slowly turn back to him. "Just like how no matter what happens we should find that love in our hearts and follow it."
They now stare deeply into each other eyes. As ocean blue eyes meets chocolate brown eyes each of them can feel the burning passion of love that was happening. Also, how their hearts was beating so fast. They were so close to each other face now.
"I really like you Damon and I hope that people will see you are a great man that I see." Elena blushing a little as she looks down again, but Damon lift her chin.
As they stare back. Damon then snoops in very close until he felt her lips that brush lightly into his. The kiss then slowly melts as Elena put her hands on his shoulders. They finally broke apart for what seem like 5 minutes. Staring back now in love more than ever. For they never saw love and beauty till this night.
"I... I'm…" Elena spoken so breathlessly as it seem he took her breath away.
"Was we moving too fast?" Damon spoke softly and nervous.
"No it was amazing." Elena looking at him in love. For it is true. She now slowly starting to see she does have feelings for him.
"Damon I want to explore what we have, but in a way I feel like I am betraying my brother too." Elena now starting to feel guilt as to what has happen.
"Elena you should not let your brother stop you from what we are having…" Damon upset by this.
"Don't… It's true I should not have our brother stop us from this. But I do love him and you have to respect it. Also, Katherine would be upset too." Elena trying to explain this.
Damon sigh in frustration as to what she is saying is true. Elena take one of his hands again.
"Don't worry Damon. I will figure out a way to get Jeremy blessing. As I do see this greatness of a men tonight!" Elena with love and determination matching Damon.
"No…" Damon say. Elena looks surprise by his answer. "You don't have to do it alone. I am making a deal with you right now. I will take Jeremy advice for now to back off from you temporary."
Elena was about to object. "Damon NO! I..."
But Damon put one finger up to those lovely pink lips of hers. "Don't worry Elena my love. You have to trust me. Understand that a men pride is more of that right now and protecting of siblings is also important too. I want him to see how I can be that men for you and earn his trust. In meantime just know I will be waiting for you and hoping someday that we can make this official to not just everyone. But for us to exploring that feelings we have for each other." Damon finishes.
"You sure about this? You can't do this just for me." Elena ask worried.
"You're wrong. I am doing this for me and for us more importantly." Damon say to her with a smile of sincere.
Elena looks so awe by Damon determination of seeing how much he cares and wants to be a better man for not just her but for him.
"Damon…. just know we might go through rough patches, drama, and one of us might want to date other people here. But no matter what happens I don't want to hurt you." Elena say.
Damon see that this is a person that is not like Katherine. This is a women who cares about his feelings.
"I understand that. I care for you too Elena and this time I feel like I am doing it right by taking it slowly." Damon spoken.
Then Elena was the one this time that leans in and kiss Damon. It turns more passionately as it was their second kiss of the night. They kiss for 10 minutes until they broke apart and stare deeply into their eyes with so much in love and smiling. The two then take each other as Damon holds Elena in his arms for a while and slide back on the bed to lay down. They talk more about how life is with them at home and their past while caressing each other and kissing between their talk. For them this could not get any romantic seeing the beauty in front of them from the ocean, the stars, and full moon in the sky. Plus, the person cuddling next to them on the bed that is full of their beating hearts of love that will explore any second on this special night. Damon realize it was getting late and they could get caught at any second.
"A thousand times good night my secret prince. As I hope this is more like our see you later." Elena speak to him as they stand there on the beach both holding each other hands.
"Don't worry I have a feeling this is not the end and that we will be together soon. I hopefully promise you that." Damon spoken with a smile.
"I hope so too. Till then I hope you are finding love even without me as I do keep my word I want you to be happy Damon." Elena say to him stepping closer.
"Don't worry I will keep my promise that this is real Elena." Damon said. "Till then I hope you remember this night as part of our deal too."
Damon swoops in stealing one last kiss and Elena knew it was coming as she leans up on her tip toes to kiss him. They stay there feeling the love and passion towards each other. Pulling away now.
"Good night!" Damon smile in love and staring back at her.
"Good night!" Elena spoken softly from the kiss and in love back.
As they both turn heading back to the sleeping quarters. Damon continues to walk back. Elena could not help, but turn and stare back him. Then she looks up at the starry night sky and back to Damon again.
"Thanks mom. So far it seem I am making the right choice of coming here to find love. That with everything that has been happening I will give Damon this chance. Although, I know parting is such sweet sorrow for now with him I will say good night to him till it is time to be together again I hope." Elena now never felt so happy then what she felt since coming onto the island.
We see the camera panning up as we see Elena continue to watch Damon as he goes to the guys' quarters leaving footprints on the sand as it wash away from the water.
