Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries, nor the characters. But, if I did, I would make Daroline happen!

A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for not updating this story in like forever! But, I promise to update as soon as I can for all my stories! (Changes, and Alternate Reality!) Some were wondering, why Damon 'loves Elena', when this occurred in the first Season. I'm not exactly following the storyline of the actual show. A bit is similar, but a lot has changed. Oh, and Elena knows about them being vampire's, and she's still happily with Stefan. That was pretty much it…

Thanks for all the reviews on the previous chapter! It made my day! You guys are amazing! =)

Please do continue! ;)

In the mean while, enjoy this new chappie!


Caroline watched silently, speechless, as her arms shacked furiously under the dining table, her knees giving in.

She watched as Elena soothed a pained Donavan, This is all my fault!

Caroline got up from the chair she was recently sitting on, "I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!"

With that, she left, leaving a confusion and concerned Matt behind. And just a curious Elena, behind.

Caroline ran out of Elena's house. She couldn't take it anymore! Watching Matt cry for something she put him through… even if she had never meant to hurt him…

If she had never helped Damon in the first place… Vicky would have been alive and safe right now! If only! It was all her fault! All of it! Ever loving him… ever thinking he might, just maybe care for her the same way…

Getting in the car, Caroline drove home.

All my fault.


Stefan heard a knock at the door, he smiled slightly, as he opened the door, "Elena-"

"Stefan, I need to tell you something…" Elena stated, hurriedly, interrupting Stefan.

Stefan's brow furrowed, as he moved aside, allowing Elena to walk into the boarding house, "What is it, Elena?"

"Stefan, it's Ca-" Elena was interrupted by a voice.

She looked to her side, to notice a grinning Damon make his way, at her side, "Hello, Elena."

Elena huffed, before putting her attention back to Stefan who had closed the door, and was now a few feet away from her.

"It's Caroline… I think she knows something about Vicky Donavan's death, she's been acting weird and I'm worried about her…" Elena stated slowly, causing Damon and Stefan to look towards each other.

Elena noticed the exchanged looks, her eyes narrowed, "What's wrong?"

Stefan looked towards Elena, "Nothing."

Elena was about to speak but was beat by Damon, "I killed Vicky… it was all me…"

Elena's eyes widened, as she stared at Damon, bewildered, "You what?"

Damon sighed, "Blondie let me escape from the basement and I fed off Vicky and the rest of the high teenagers…"

"And you didn't think twice?" Elena asked, looking at Damon in disgust.

Damon flinched slightly, "No. I'm a vampire… it's what I do…"

Elena glanced towards Stefan who stood silent, watching the two, before she looked back at Damon, "No, Damon… you being a vampire… it doesn't change the fact that you're just a heartless monster, that doesn't give a crap about what others feel!"

Damon looked at Elena, smiling slightly, even though it didn't reach his eyes, "Well, I guess you've got the big picture then…"

And with that, he turned the other way, only to be stopped by Elena's voice, "After everything… after hurting Caroline… killing Vicky… don't you feel even a bit guilty?"

Damon looked over his shoulder, "No. I don't."

Elena gapped at him, while Stefan just looked at his brother in disbelief, "You've got to fix this Damon."

Damon turned around, looking at his brother, eyes widening slightly, "What do you mean?"

Stefan looked at his brother, nodding his head in disbelief, "With Caroline… she's hurting, she's probably taking Vicky's death as her fault… she was the one who saved you… so fix it…"

Damon didn't even notice Stefan and Elena leave the hallway, as he was deep in thought.

"Damon…" he heard her mumble, in her sleep.

"I love you…"

He sighed, Elena just said it… he was a heartless monster… how could she- how? And after everything… after treating her so badly… after yesterday?

"Leave, Caroline!"

"What's your problem Damon! I try so hard! So hard to just help you, be there for you! But all you do is push me away! Why?"

"Because your not Elena!"

Damon could just remember her pained expression. Damon's hands formed into fists, as he banged his arm into the nearest wall, creating pieces to fall to the ground. She loved him… after everything… and he just kept making it worse… why? Why put her through pain… why?


Caroline cradled herself on her bed, endless tears forming and escaping her eyes, as she mumbled to herself, It's all me… all my fault…

Her head shot up when she heard her window open, she got off her bed immediately, brows furrowing, "What are you doing here?"

Damon's eyes softened as he saw Caroline wipe the few tears that escaped her eyes, he took a step closer, only to have her take a step back. He sighed.

"Please don't hurt me… I-I didn't do an-ything! I d-idn't tell anyone! I swear!" Caroline exclaimed, backing up more, as a few more tears escaped her eyes.

Damon looked at the blonde with concern, as he took a step closer, "I'm not going to hurt you, Caroline…"

Caroline's brows furrowed, as she looked at him in confusion, Damon tried to ignore the sudden feeling he had in his stomach, "Caroline… I'm not going to hurt you…"

Damon neared Caroline slowly, watching her carefully, as she tensed.

"Why are you here?" Caroline asked a little too harshly, causing Damon to flinch.

"I love you…"

Damon looked Caroline straight in the eye, walking towards her, until they were only inches apart. Caroline looked up at Damon, speechless. First off, he was making it hard to think, having him so close to her.

"Dam-"

Caroline was interrupted by Damon's finger finding her lips, shushing her softly. She looked up at him in confusion, "I'm sorry, Caroline… for everything…"

Caroline's eyes widened slightly, as she could feel her heart racing, "What?"

"I'm sorry, Caroline… which is why I have to do this…" Damon replied softly, trying to force the pain that came from his voice.

Caroline looked up at him in confusion, "Do what?"

Damon looked Caroline in the eyes, causing her to stare back at him dazed, "You will not feel guilty about Vicky's death. With everything I did, after treating you, I didn't apologize. You hate me… you don't love me…"

"I don't love you…" Caroline repeated back, dazed.

Damon stepped away from Caroline, disappearing just as quickly.

He watched from his window, noticing a confused Caroline make her way to bed, falling asleep.

His heart aching, he watched as everything happened before him.

I had to do it.

She deserves better.

This is what had to happen.

It's wrong to love a heartless monster like me.

And with that, he walked away, away from something… someone that could've changed his life forever. Some one who could have showed him that he wasn't a heatless monster, but someone that had feelings… someone who was human…

What Damon didn't notice was a certain brunette watching everything happen. The woman smirked, "Aw, poor Damon."

She laughed, Your not going to get out of this easily Damon. Afraid of facing your feelings? Afraid of facing Blondie? Well… we will see about that…

The woman glanced towards Caroline's window, and then at a walking Damon, she grinned, Many may think it's the end. Oh, no. The party's just started. It's just the beginning…


HMMMMM?
