Sidelines part 2

"Oh my god" winced Damon staring at Elena's blood stained body – She was covered in it – head to toe.

He lifted her head it flopped onto his arm she was cold – freezing in fact. Tears filled Damon's eyes and his lips wobbled as he brought his spare arm to his mouth and just as he was about to bite into his wrist to puncture a small vein, she blinked.

"Damon?" she whispered her eyes blurry "Oh, Elena, what happened, tell me everything"

Elena opened her mouth, fighting to keep her eyes open "Stefan…he" her eyes slowly closed, "Elena, Elena wake up!" Damon was now fighting to keep back tears as he called an ambulance.

Stefan staggered back to his car – drunk he was trying to forget everything that he had read in Elena's diary but the words just kept coming

Passionate, love, beautiful, safe, honest.

The ambulance arrived picking Elena up as they wheeled her into the back. Damon sat with an unconscious Elena holding her lifeless hand. He felt her pulse - it was still there but slow.

They were at the hospital now. Elena was awake her feelings for Damon flooded back to her as he sat there next to her smiling obviously happy that Elena was finally awake.

"Elena, I know that this isn't a good time but you need to tell me what happened, it's important"

Elena nodded feeling sympathy for a tearful Damon "It was Stefan, he read my diary and I was pissed at him so I ran upstairs he grabbed my arm and pulled me back and then I slipped"

"Wait, you're telling me Stefan did this to you?"

"It was an accident Damon he didn't mean to"

"That doesn't change the fact that you Elena are lying on a hospital bed fighting for your life because of my brother and believe me Elena he's gonna pay for it"
