C4.
Jenna Sommers sighed. Then winced. Elena had, yet again, for the umpteenth stormed up the stairs and slammed the bedroom door. She had heard all about this Damon Salvatore vampire from Elena and Jeremy. Sure, Jeremy was missing the vamp, but not as much as Elena.
Elena sobbed quietly into her pillow. She didn't mean to be this way, but she just missed Damon so much. She had been trying to call Damon the past few hours but his phone had been cut off. She felt his pain, and rubbed at her heart again. Damon was missing her too, she could feel it.
Elena's phone rung, and she snatched it up, answering it after the third ring. "Hello?"She sighed, already feeling her body relaxing.
"Lena,"Damon murmured, rubbing his temples. He had found the vervain, had made bought two ridiculously expensive silver bracelets, and intertwined vervain in it. He had bought a gold watch and laced that with vervain too. He had dropped his phone during a fight with two baby vamps, so was using one of his now dead attackers cell phones.
Elena flopped backwards onto her bed. "You're an idiot! You didn't answer your phone, and I could feel your panic, and pain!"Elena grumbled, fiddling with the wolf teddy Damon bought her a few weeks ago.
"I'm sorry, Lennie. I bought those vervain bracelets and watch I was telling you about. For you, Jeremy and Jenna. I ran into some trouble along the way, and two baby vamps broke my phone."Damon consoled the teenager.
Elena giggled at his wording. "Baby vamps?"She asked, desperately trying to distract herself from worrying over Damon's wellbeing.
"New Vamps, Len."Damon chuckled, rubbing his forehead. He could feel her badly disguised worry. "Just ask the question, Elena."
Elena sighed, "Are you OK? You're not hurt are you? You didn't break any bones, you're OK, right!?"She threw at him, her hands fluttered about in the air, as though she wanted to touch his body to make sure he wasn't harmed.
"I'm fine Lena. But you're not."He frowned. "Jeremy called the house phone before I called you. You're acting all moody and depressing. Cheer up."Damon demanded.
Elena sighed, face-palming herself. "Shut up. You know I miss you, its like I can't breathe properly."Damon sighed.
"I know, honey. I want you to do something for me." Damon soothed her as she started to cry again.
Elena sniffled. "What?"
"Go to the front door, you and Jeremy and Jenna."He told her.
"OK."She sighed, I'll call you back, baby."She told her best friend. she had been calling him baby for a while now. She doesn't know how it happened, it just did.
Damon mumbled his consent, already smirking. "Jenna! Jeremy, front door, now."Elena yelled, waiting for her brother and aunt to reach her before she opened up the front door.
"Damon!"Jeremy smiled, jumping forward to hug the smirking vamp. The two men pulled each other into a guy hug.
Jenna smiled at the vampire. "Hi, I'm Jenna."She said, taking Damon's hand in hers, shaking it slightly as he introduced himself.
Elena had yet to move. She was standing there looking perplexed at her best friend. "Come here, Elena."Her throat closed up as she heard his voice talking to her.
Elena jumped forward into his arms, sobbing. "I missed you, I missed you, I missed you."Elena cried into his shoulders her body melting into his.
"I know, shh."Damon soothed her, running his fingers through her hair. "I missed you too."
Jenna watched in amazement as Elena's whole being lit up just being around Damon. "D, Elena used the shared account to buy me a new xbox."Damon informed the vampire hugging his sister.
"Uh.."Elena smiled sheepishly at the now sombre and injured vampire. "I didn't mean to promise. It was to stop him bugging me until I got to see you."
Damon chuckled, wincing slightly. "I'm not mad..just annoyed you didn't wait for me so I could beat baby brothers ass."Damon laughed, but suddenly stopped.
"You lied to me, I can feel it."Elena screeched, kicking the door shut and dragging her best friend to the living room. "Were does it hurt?"She asked, her hands smoothing over his body.
Damon lifted her chin up, oblivious of the stares he was receiving from Jenna, and spoke to her. "Honey, they only clipped my chest with a vervain dart. It's already healing."He said, stroking the sides of her face affectionately.
"But, you're hurt."she whimpered, looking into his eyes.
Damon shook his head. "I'm fine, I promise Lennie. C'mere."He told her, pulling her gently down on top of him so she would lay with him.
"Am I hurting you?"She whispered into his chest as she nuzzled into his body. Damon kissed her forehead.
"No, Lena."He sighed, rubbing his hands up and down her sides.
Jeremy pulled Jenna away, and explained the situation. "Ever since Damon rescued us, those two have become inseparable. They're best friends, Damon's like the older brother I wanted but never got."He informed the perplexed woman who nodded her consent.
"Damon, Xbox?"Jeremy spoke from behind the couch he and Elena were resting on.
Damon looked down at the now sleeping girl in his arms, and smiled. "Sure, I'm just gonna go put Elena to bed. Where's her room, Jenna?"Damon asked the silent woman.
"Uh, I'll show you."Jenna smiled at him, leading him up the stairs as Jeremy fixed up the Xbox.
As the pair walked up the stairs quietly, Jenna spoke quietly to Damon trying to avoid waking her niece up. "She really did miss you..thank you, Damon. For coming I mean. And for saving them."
"I would do it all over again, but I would try and save Miranda and Grayson too. I'm sorry that I couldn't get all of them."He replied as he entered Elena's bedroom.
He quickly placed her on the bed and gave her the brown wolf teddy, which she clutched in her iron grasp instantly. "Damon."She muttered as she turned over.
"Shh, I'm here."He soothed, tucking some hair behind her ear. Jenna looked on, smiling at the tenderness this man expressed when dealing with her nephew and niece.
Damon sighed as he hauled himself to his feet. He motioned for Jenna to leave the room first before he shut the bedroom door.
He headed downstairs and into the small sitting room where Jeremy had set up a zombie game on the Xbox. "Lets do this." Jenna smiled adoringly at her nephew as he laughed and smiled for the first time in the four/five days he'd been here.
The two men managed to play for 2 hours before Damon's breath shallowed. "DAMON!"Elena screamed hysterically. Damon's face quickly turned pained before he shot up the stairs too her room in vampire speed.
"Damon!"Elena cried, the tears flowing down her face as she thrashed in bed. Jenna and Jeremy had followed Damon up the stairs and watched as Damon reacted instantly.
Damon lowered himself gently on the opposite side of her bed, and smiled gently as Elena bundled her body into his. "Damon."She sobbed as she sat up.
Elena straddled him, her thighs on each side of his waist and her arms around his neck. Elena didn't care for the other people in the room, her attention only on her vampire.
"I was so scared. They killed you, and you weren't coming back. It was the same nightmare as before. My mom and dad were with you. You saved them, but you died. You died because you saved them."Elena cried into his chest. "Don't try and save anybody if it gets you killed. Promise me. You can't die on me, you can't leave me."
Damon soothed the crying girl, rubbing loving circles on her back. "I'll never leave you, Lena. But, it's like you wait for me to turn up before you have a nightmare."
"No, It's because I always sleep in one of your shirts. But because you put me to bed, Alone, I didn't have anything that smelled like you."She said, growling at the last sentence, poking his chest.
Damon chuckled. He looked around the room for one of his shirts, silently noting that Jenna and Jeremy had left the room. "Here."Damon laughed as he chucked her one of his black shirts.
He watched as she shamelessly pulled her shirt off, showing Damon her red lacy bra, before slipping his shirt on her body. She then pulled down her jeans, flashing Damon her red lacy panties.
Damon crawled into the bed with her after he kicked his shoes off.
"Elena?"
Elena buried her face in his neck. "Yeah?"She replied, nuzzling his neck, loving the way her heart sped up.
"I think I'm falling in love with you."Damon whispered, his almost non-existent heart speeding up.
"I know."Elena smiled, kissing her chest. "I think I'm falling in love with you too."
Damon smiled adoringly as he lifted her face too his. "I know."He replied, before he crushed his lips to hers.
The passion was curling around their bodies, intertwining their souls even more. The kiss was slow, soft and passionate.
They pulled away, both breathing heavily. "Goodnight, Elena Gilbert."
"Goodnight, Damon Salvatore."Elena smiled, kissing him one last time before she settled in his arms for the night. "Good night."She mumbled to herself before she followed Damon into the land of dreams.
