New Chapter! I love writing this story :) I hope you enjoy x

Damon's POV

The school day finished, finally. I always am waiting for the day to drag on.

Today has been really strange, somehow. Girls would look at me, like look at me. They would whisper as I walk past. Confused I would just blush and ignore them.

I walked down the hallway to the schools main doors. I looked around to see if my father was going to pick me up but saw no sign of his care. Sighing, I started going down the sidewalk.

Suddenly Tyler and the group , apart from Elena, caught up to me.

"Hey Salvatore," He laughed as he ran in front of me and pretended to throw a punch. I ducked and glared at me. Tyler then pushed me to the ground, unexpectedly, I fell and hit the concrete, hard. I winced as I felt blood seep on my forehead and hair. He started throwing punches in my stomach and back, he kicked me as well. All I could do was curl up into a ball and wait for it to be over.

"This is for punching me yesterday, I would try and rethink before you touch me again if I was you," He snarled between his teeth as he continued to kick me.

There was a crowd around us , which were giving Tyler cheers. I curled my head into my body as tear escaped.

"You are are one worthless piece of Shit!" Tyler yelled, "No wonder your mothers dying, she has had enough off you,"

Now I was crying, but I hid my face.

"STOP!", a voice yelled but I couldn't recognise it from the pounding my head was making, my whole body ached. I hear a shove and I feel hands on my shoulders, the person was trying to turn me round.

I refused to face the person, I was scared. I refused to even budge. I could fairly hear footsteps of the group fade away.

"Hey Damon, it's me," The voice said again, rubbing my arm, I faced the voice slowly to see Elena gasp.

Elena's POV (There won't be a awful lot of Elena's POV's in the story btw)

A saw a crowd around the pathway. Curious, I went to see what all the yelling was about. A I got closer I saw Tyler betting up a boy. He was curled up, shaking as Tyler punched and kicked him. I gasped when I realised who it was.

I pushed through the crowd, yelling at them to go away and I shoved Tyler out of the way,

"STOP!" I yelled as I shoved Tyler out of the way. Caroline rushed to Tyler's side to sort him out ad calm him.

I reached for Damon who was shivering and obviously crying. I tried to turn him round to face me but he wouldn't budge.

I rubbed his arm, "Hey Damon, it's me," I softly said as he slowly turned to me.

The crowd was now gone and back to normal. He faced me and I couldn't help but gasp again. He looked terrible. His lip was split, he had a cut on his forehead, a black eye and a swollen cheek. Tears were still falling. His lip trembled and I couldn't help but place a hand on his cheek to calm him.

His clothes had blood on them and my stomach turned at the smell.

Stay calm Elena, I told myself. Blood and I weren't a good match.

I had to get him cleaned up. I wrapped my hand under is arm and tried to pull him. He winced as he moved. His black T-shirt was soaked. He got up and clung to me, needing support which I gladly gave him.

"Thank you," He whispered just loud enough so I could hear it. We started to walk towards my car and I helped him into the passenger seat.

He sat down with his eyes closed, looking as if he was in a lot of pain. I shut the door and practically ran around the front of my car to my side. I started the car as soon as I hoped in. I drove out of the school car park, getting strange looks as I drove past people.

As we reached my house Damon looked around, confused.

"Where are we?" He crooked.

"At my house, I thought I could help clean you up," I answered, opening my door. I ran round to help Damon out of the car.

"You really don't have to do this, I could-"

"I want to help you ok, end of conversation," I insisted as I helped him out of the car. We walked to my house door, well Damon limped. I unlocked the door and gestured him to hop inside.

"We have to go upstairs because my parents are going to come home and they think I'm out at cheer practice," I awkward admitted .

"I can get up there," He smiled. His blue eyes weren't as blue as they usually were, instead they we more grey and sad looking.

"Good," I smiled back. We slowly headed up the stairs, I pointed to the door my room was. He was a little hesitant at first but continued to limp to the door. I went to the conjoined bathroom to grab the first aid. I told him to sit on my bed as I got the stuff ready. He looked around in awe, probably amazed he was in 'Elena Gilbert's Room'.

I brought first aid bag over to the bed. My heart skipped a beat ,wait what, as I placed myself between his legs. Kneeling down onto the ground, I unzipped the bag and pulled out an antiseptic wipe. I could feel his shaky breath on my hand which was leading to his forehead. He looked anywhere but my face. He winced as I dabbed the wipe on his forehead.

"Sorry," I quietly apologised. He briefly met my gaze then blushed. I pretty sure I did too. What this is Damon Salvatore…..

I wiped the blood away from his face with a wet flannel. My heart was beating as I got the antiseptic wipe and wiped is lip. His eyes watched me. He could of easily done this himself but I got carried away. Damon smiled as I blushed and found some cream for his bruises. I rubbed it on his cheek and forehead. Damon scrunched up his nose in a adorable way from the smell of the cream.

'What has gotten into you Elena, he's a geek not a cute boy,' I thought.

When I finished I asked him if he had any other sore places.

"Uhh yeah I do but I will fix them up myself," He replied, blushing.

"Where are they?" I asked, curious.

"Well um there on my lower back," He quietly said.

"You won't be able to fix that yourself, let me look," I insisted, seriously not knowing why I cared so much.

He looked down, embarrassed. He looked sad as he turned around, his back faced me. I lifted up his long sleeve shirt up to see a huge graze that traveled from the top of his jeans to the middle of his back. I noticed his back was seriously ripped, that was a total surprise.

Trying not to be distracted by his muscles, I also noticed long looking scars on his skin. I reached my hand up to touch it but as soon as my fingers touch his skin he flenched and practically jumped off the bed. I just stared at him, hand still in the air.

"I should Uh, go…" Damon blubbered. He started heading to the door.

"Wait," I blocked his path, "What were those scars about?" I asked, watching as his eyes saddened.

He cleared his throat ,"I rather not talk about that,"

I looked at him and rested a hand on his shoulder, causing him to stare at me. I watched as his cheeks reddened. I could feel his pulse rushing.

"Talk to me," I softly, "It seems like you don't have many people to talk to, so I'm here," I assured him.

He just looked at me, his mouth opening and closing like a fish. I held my gaze with his as I realised his eyes.

They were so beautiful ,WHAT?, and his perfect cheek bones and jawline were so perfect, Elena?, And his lips were a perfect shade of pink. I was startled from my thoughts as I saw a small tear form in the corner of eye.

My heart clenched with sadness .

"Oh Damon," I said as I couldn't help but reach on my tippy toes and hug him. He straightened, obviously not expecting my hug, but after awhile he wrapped his arms around my waist and cried into my shoulder.

All I did was hold him and gave him the love he needed most.

Poor Damon :( Do you think he will be able to open up to Elena even more? And do you think Elena's feeling more than just a friendship? Review :) x
