Chapter 22

Elena's pov

He just walked away… How dare he… I was trying to make him believe me, but, .away! But I was not going to give up this easily.

"DAMON!" I yelled after him so he would hear me. I'm sure he did but he fully ignored me.

"DAMON IF YOU WALK AWAY I AM GOING TO GO AND…. HURT MYSELF" yes lame I know but I know Damon can't stand seeing me hurt. He still didn't turn back. I was furious now. He needed some sense slapped into him.

"fine, you asked for it" with that I picked up the sharpest thing I could find on the ground and made a deep cut on my forearm. I screamed in pain, I didn't think it would hurt this much… but Damon still was nowhere in sight.

"FINE! I'll just bleed till death!" and I stabbed the object into my stomach. I screamed once more, hoping he would come. But for the second time that day, I fainted.

After what seemed like hours, I woke up. The floor smelt really bad and it was getting dark outside… wait… outside…? I quickly got up and found myself still laying somewhere in the middle of the forest.

Damon doesn't care… he is completely done and over me. A wave of sadness, anger and desperation ran over me, making me fall on my knees feeling completely weak and more than ready to give up. My eyes suddenly went to my arms, and all the wounds from the cut I made were gone! My hands instantly went to my stomach and the wound there was gone as well… only one person would have done this. Damon. While I was out, he must have come, healed me and then left. UGH he makes me so mad! I didn't want to go searching in a forest so late at night, so I made my way back to the boarding house. To my luck Damon was standing inside by the fireplace. My heart started to ache as soon as my eyes lay upon him. I knew that I had lost him… my eyes roamed the room and infront of the couch were a couple of suitcases… did he pack my clothes?

"are you kicking me out?" I sadly asked.

"no. you can stay. Im leaving" WHAT!

"Damon" I choked on my words and tears fell out of my eyes.

"god Elena stop being such a crier! Every time I'm near you all you do is CRY!" I went up to him and grabbed his arm so tight that im sure it must have hurt him. I only held it that tight so he wouldn't run away or try to escape my hold (even though I knew within a second my arm would be the one broken)

"look at me" I said strictly "Damon look at me" he didn't budge so I grabbed his chin and jerked it so he was looking at me.

I took my vervain filled necklace off and threw it across the room.

"Now compel me. Ask me if I am a part of this letter or have anything to do with it" I wanted him to go to any extent to believe me. But all Damon did was just stare at me. I think I saw a hint of blue in those gorgeous eyes but they were instantly replaced with black.

"PLEASE!" I begged him now. I fell on my knees and held onto his leg,

"please Damon please! I NEED you to believe me and I can't find a better way to do it than this!" he put his arms on my arms and lifted me up.

"you seem… like you honestly don't know anything about the letter…"

"Damon, that's because I don't." was he believing me?

"but how can I make sure. I mean for all I know you could be lying!"

"Damon the most honest answer is that I am not toying with your feelings. I've done whatever I can to make you believe me… now... it's up to you." I intertwined my fingers with his; hesitating, but he didn't reject me.

"Damon, listen to this and listen to it good. I love you. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you! You are my everything! I would never ever do this to you and you know that! You know what Stefan did to me. You know because you witnessed it and why would I EVER stab you in the back?"

Damon's eyes were fixed on my face. He looked lost.

"are you telling me the truth?" he said ever so quietly

"yes Damon" I said squeezing his hand tightly and holding it against my heart. "Yes. I 'am"

"then.. why did he write the letter?"

"Damon. I don't know why. He must have done it to make you hate me and make you want to kill mme an-" Damon cut me off by placing a finger on my mouth.

"I would never hurt you. No matter what." Damon was hesitating to say something but he wouldn't.

"Damon what's on your mind?"

"Elena… I want to believe you and I do…kind of.. but you do know that…" he didn't need to finish the sentence. I already knew what was coming.

"I do know what..?" I said trying to pretend I didn't know

"we..um we can't be together until I don't know until it's a little less painful for me." Damon said

I nodded in agreement my eyes turning red. I tried unsuccessfully to hold the tears in and wouldn't make myself cry again but I couldn't. Damon let go of my hand and I told him I was going back to my house. He drove me there and I sat in my room crying my head off. 5 words kept going through my mind the whole time. Me and Damon are over.

AWwn Damon : '( whyyyy! Well hopefully they will get back together..? depends… REVIEW PLEASE : D
