The night had been horrible. From the moment Jeremy and Tyler got into a fight to thinking Stefan had been hurt, then Damon trying to kiss her... She hadn't thought it could get any worse until Mr. Tanner had been killed. She'd taken some comfort from Stefan's arms around her, and the words he'd murmured. Things would get better, they had to.

Changing into pajamas, her eye caught the necklace Stefan had given her. And her smile widened for a moment, finger trailing along the locket. It had been very sweet of him. But, not wanting the chain to get tangled while she slept, she placed it on her bedside table, tossing and turning for a bit before she drifted off, dreams luckily not filled with visions of that night. In fact they were peaceful, Elena still in bed, her bedside light still on as she snuggled under her duvet.

Damon didn't know why, but he felt drawn to Elena. She looked like Katherine, and then there was something.... sweet and kind about her. He had realised that the moment she had told him she was sorry, because he had lost Katherine too. Nobody had ever said that to him before. She had compassion that was rare to find.

He sneaked into her bedroom, looking down at her as she lay there, sleeping. He reached his head out and gently brushed a finger along the soft skin of her cheek.

	Head shifted, tilting against his hand, a soft smile spreading across her features, though her eyes remained closed for the moment. She was still asleep, though consciousness was returning. And the gentle touch felt nice. Full of caring. "Mmm," Elena hummed softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He noticed the smile on her face from his touch and it melted his.... not so humanity-less heart. He looked over at her night stand and noticed she wasn't wearing her necklace. That was..... interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her hand stretched up, resting over his. And then she seemed to realize that she wasn't actually alone. And her heartbeat sped up a bit, sleepy eyes sliding open. "...Damon?" What was he doing in her bedroom? Hand released his, eyes full of confusion and a tinge of fear. "Did something else happen?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She woke up and said his name and he lowered his head from her cheek "No, nothing happened. I should.... leave," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Wait...why are you here?" Elena questioned, pushing herself up. If nothing had happened...why would he find his way to her bedroom in the middle of the night? "Talk to me, Damon. Please." He obviously needed someone to talk to. It wouldn't be Stefan, she could tell. And Caroline could be oblivious at the worst of times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I shouldn't have come here. This was a mistake," he said. "There's nothing to talk about," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Damon..." Her hand stretched out again, catching his, gaze full of concern and compassion. "Talk to me," she repeated, voice soft. "You're here for a reason... Is it because of what happened tonight? In the parking lot?" Had he come to apologize? Or was there something else on his mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, I shouldn't let.... history repeat itself," he said. "This was a bad idea. A really.... bad idea." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"History isn't repeating itself," she shook her head. "I'm not Katherine." She'd told him that much earlier. "It may have been a bad idea, but you're here now. So tell me what this is about. Please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded his head at her words. "Of course, because it's all about Stefan," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2013-10-20 10:42 am UTC (link)
	"This is about you." He was worrying her. And she may have been concerned because he was Stefan's brother, but that still meant she was concerned. "Damon, please...you're going out with my best friend. Which makes you my friend, too. So talk to me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He shook his head at that and snorted. "Yes, because I'm so interested in Caroline that I'm in your room right now," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She supposed she should have seen that coming. After he tried to kiss her. After he'd been so charming and had kissed the back of her hand. "I can't be Katherine," she answered, eyes soft. "I can't be between you two. It's not fair to anyone." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Which is why I said I would leave, but you had to drag it out," he said, his tone sounding harsh because he was dealing with emotions for the first time in a very long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She recoiled slightly at the tone, letting his hand go. "What can I do?" She questioned. "Tell me what I can do, Damon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There's nothing you can do," he said, loudly. "Not a damn thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Frown deepened, eyes helpless and unsure of how to proceed. "I'm sorry," she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's not your fault you're in love with my brother," he said, flopping down on the end of her bed and running his hands through his hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She'd met him first. "You're a nice person, Damon," she advised. "And yeah...you might have issues with Stefan but..." There was someone for him out there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh don't," he said. "I don't need your pity," he snapped at her. "Poor Damon fell for his brothers girl again. Just stop, I don't need it, and I don't want it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2013-10-22 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	"It's not pity," she shook her head. Because that wasn't it at all. It was compassion. Feeling for him because she wanted good for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just stop," he said. "Stop doing this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2013-10-23 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Stop what?" Elena questioned. "This is who I am." She'd apologized for him losing Katherine, as well. It was just her nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
