Hey guys I'm happy but not as much as the last time. Anyways I would specifically like to thank niadk and lina89 who have been reviewing each and every chapter of mine; you guys have no idea how happy you make me every time I see a review from you, so please keep on reviewing! And thanks to all the rest who reviewed my last chapter. The number of Reviews is not what makes me happy; it's the reactions I generate from you guys, that's what makes me bounce off of my chair!

Okay now onto the story….

"I think it's high time your father looks for another bodyguard to protect his daughter." As soon as those words came out of Damon's mouth, Elena's world came crashing down. She couldn't believe it, that he had actually said that. 'How could he say that? He was supposed to stay with her forever, to protect her. Wasn't that the contract he signed!'

Nothing was making sense to Elena; all she could think about was him leaving her. 'How was she supposed to live without him? Wasn't it clear enough that she was in love with him?' Her eyes blurred with tears but she could make out the movement in front of her, it snapped her out of her thoughts.

She whipped her tears quickly with the back of her hand; now she could clearly see Damon moving away. She hurriedly crossed the distance between them and grabbed his hand, causing him to stop in his tracks. "Let go of my hand Miss Gilbert." Damon said firmly.

"No Damon I wont, you can't just leave like this, leave me like this!" Damon turned to face her and stared at her. "No Miss Gilbert you have to let go, because I cant take this any longer, I can't cope with you anymore."

"Damon, please." Elena stuttered.

"Please what! Please what, Miss Gilbert? Tell me!" Damon yelled, he was getting more annoyed by the minute because he didn't know how to handle the situation he was in right now. He meant what he said, his threat wasn't empty; he was going to leave.

"Damon I'm sorry for making you angry and I'm sorry for annoying you every single time I say something, but please understand I never mean to do it. I would never want you to be angry with me." It was a hopeless attempt and she knew it.

"You don't want to, you don't mean to, but you still do and I can't endure this any more." He responded seriously.

"No Damon you don't get it, I cant control my emotions around you. Every time I look at you I feel like making you happy, I want you to smile for me, I want you to like me," as she said that her voice broke, but she continued nonetheless, "but it always turns out to be the opposite, Its always unintentional whatever happens!"

Damon stared at her with an empty expression. She took a deep breath; then she continued, "I'm just asking for another chance Damon, just don't leave me. I'll try to be better for you, I'll try to do whatever you ask me to, I promise I will, but please don't leave me- "

"Miss Gilbert–" Damon tried to speak but she cut him off. "No Damon, first listen to me, one way or another everyone I care for; leaves me. I don't want to add another name to that list, why is it always me Damon? I m asking you why am I so unlikeable? Maybe you can stay to help me redeem myself, if not for anything else." By this point Elena's face was flooded with tears. Damon on the other hand was staring straight at her; she looked so broken the usual spark in her eyes brought by her innocence was gone now, he did this to her, he knew it. He didn't feel any hurt for her though, no, not in the least but he did feel something and it was strong, it was pity.

"Damon I know that you want to leave because you can't stand me anymore and you would easily get another job. And I also know that I give the impression of a girl who has everything, but I don't have everything! I'm well aware that my feelings for you mean nothing to you, but please you have to believe it when I say this," she paused and took another deep breath then said," The feelings I have for you is all I have, it's the only thing real in my life… so I'm begging you, don't leave me."

It was then that Damon's last resolve broke. The kid only annoyed him normally, even he didn't want her to stoop this low to beg from him. He was insensitive as it was proven time and time again; the insensitive person that he was, was how his former life had formulated him. But even he wasn't so cruel at heart that he would let a girl weep in front of him if he could prevent it somehow. He stared at the floor for a second than glanced at Elena. She was covering her face; probably to hide her tears and humiliation.

Damon moved closer to her and reached in his inner jacket pocket and took out a clean napkin. He cleared his throat and said in a low, firm voice, "Miss Gilbert, you better take this." Her sobbing stopped instantly as she realized he was standing right in front of her, she slowly peeked over her fingers and stared at him with her bloodshot but still beautiful eyes. He raised the napkin higher, so that it would be in her line of vision. Elena extended her hand slowly in fear, as if any quick movement would make him runaway. She took the napkin and their fingers barely grazed each others. She hurriedly moved her hand from there so that he wouldn't interpret the move as intentional.

Elena cleaned her face and muttered a thank you. Damon only nodded and she tried to avoid eye contact with him. In the last few moments a lot of things had been said and done, which shouldn't have been thrown out there like they were. After a minute, that actually felt like an hour; Damon checked his watch and said, "Let's go home Miss Gilbert, it's probably too late to head back to cheer practice-"

"You're not leaving!" Elena asked in astonishment.

Damon simply stared at her and said, "No, I'm not leaving Miss Gilbert" he sighed and continued "let's go home."
