"HELLS NO!" Damon yelled, as he walked out the door of his room.

"Damon SALVATORE! WE ARE GOING TO THAT BEACH PARTY THAT REBEKAH HAS THROWN! AND THAT'S WHERE WE WILL START PHASE THREE!" Katherine yelled, as she followed behind Him.

"Oh, dammit. Fine. I'll go get my shorts, you get whatever you need." Damon answered, huffing.

Katherine smiled, smugly.

"Great. Don't tell, but I really don't wanna go. I mean just because Rebekah and matt are going around the world, big whoop." She replied, after a while, and walked off.

Damon shook his head. It was going to be a really long freaking day.

x-x-x

Damon had been dragged by Katherine off to the beach, where Rebekah was basically floating on cloud nine, and clutching matt as if he was her $400 Prada purse.

Klaus and Tyler were not even noticing anybody because of their continuous wooing for Caroline.

I mean, they were following her around asking if she wanted chocolate ice-cream, or a new dress, or shade. It was completely, and utterly disgusting, as Katherine put it.

When kol arrived with bonnie and Jeremy, everyone looked at them.

"Sorry, I'm late people, but these two idiots would just not stop sucking face. I had to drive here, with these two in the backseat of my car. MY BRAND NEW CAR, might I add, with bonnie acting, like a bitch in heat and Jeremy acting like a horny teenager! I need a drink." he said, picking up the bottle of tequila at the side of the bar, before walking off to god knows where.

Everyone stared at bonnie and Jeremy, who simply blushed and started small conversation.

Damon rolled his eyes.

"I cannot believe I let you drag me here." He whispered, to Katherine, who dismissed him with a slight shake of her head.

"Stay here. I'll tell you when we have to initiate launch sequence." She replied, walking off, towards the bar.

Damon rolled his eyes and turned and saw something that made every raw painful moment come alive again.

Elena was telling Stefan she loved him.

It's always going to be Stefan!

Stefan smiling and kissing her.

I can't give up on him, Damon.

Damon was already regretting coming here.

So he did what he always did. He sat down at the bar and drank. It was his move.

Somewhere else, Katherine looked at the happy couples hugging each other.

She felt…empty. And when she looked at Damon, a little twang of sadness crawled its way into her heart and all she wanted to do, was kiss him until he was okay. Not that she'd admit that. Ever.

So, she did something that could be classified as one of the nicest things she had done in her existence.

She knew he wasn't going to feel anything for her ever again. But she decided to shove that away.

She decided to cut short her plan of mooning around until the time came to initiate phase three, she decided to cheer up Damon.

She walked up to him, and took his drink and put it away, and dragged him from one arm, before he could even think about anything.

"What the hell?" he said.

*flashback with Katherine. (Human)*

"Uncle, what do you mean?" she asked her uncle.

"Look, katerina, I want you to enjoy life. Don't think about it. Because let me tell you something." He said, holding his foster-daughter's hand, as she clutched it back.

"Because, katerina, the things we do without thinking, are the best things in life. I'm not going to along a lot. So you should do whatever you want, that makes you happy. Take risks, without thinking, because those are some of the best times you'll ever have." He said.

Katherine hugged her uncle, who was caring for her, even though he had cancer. She could never repay him and his wife for taking care of her after she had given birth.

He hugged back, and Katherine engraved this advice in her mind.

*back to present.*

X-x-x

Elena felt uncomfortable. She was uncomfortable.

She was fuming, and she was going to end this with Katherine when the time came.

She would.

But right now, she would smile.

And laugh, for her friend, as if they were all normal.

As if everything was okay.

As if her heart didn't feel heavy like a weight was hanging on it, when Damon left with Katherine.

As if everything was okay.

x-x-x

*PLEASE READ THIS*

I WANT YOU GUYS TO LISTEN TO "heat of the moment" by "Asia" while reading this scene, okay?

PLEASE? It'll make it better. THANK YOU!

*CONTINUE, PLEASE.*

"Earth to katherine? What the hell?" Damon asked, staring at her as if she was crazy.

She dragged him to the car, and shoved him in, before driving.

"Um, Katherine, I don't know if you got your, 'I'm-going-crazy' settings, but, it's getting me worried." Damon asked, looking as if he was going to jump out of the car any minute.

"Shhhh. Just trust me on this." Katherine answered.

"Um, yeah, not going to happen." Damon replied, but still stopped freaking out.

The ten minutes passed with Damon still worried if Katherine had gone stark-raving-mad. He was worried about her.

And then something hit him.

Why was he worried about her?

Because he cared for her.

No, he didn't. He cared for Elena. He loved Elena.

But, again the epiphany hit him hard, like a 10x15 brick wall, against the face.

He cared about Katherine. More than he would like to.

And that was enough to keep him shut up for ten minutes.

When they pulled up at the boarding house, he got out, as she did and silently followed her up.

When they entered his room, he simply stood there, but he wasn't really there.

She came towards him, her curly hair loose on her shoulders.

And she kissed him.

This was all it took for Damon's thoughts to clear.

He pushed her back, looking in her eyes for some kind of mischief, but all he found was a resolve.

"Katherine, what are we doin-" he started, but she interrupted him.

"Let's not think about it." She answered, before kissing him again, this time with more force.

And he kissed back.

It was the heat of the moment.

Telling me what my heart wants.

And that's why he kept kissing.

And for once, he felt as if no one was trying to change him.

As if no one was trying to stop him.

He felt like he belonged.

X-x-x
