Chapter 2- Damon
My mother always told me that to love somebody, to truly love someone was the most important thing that you could do in the world and that if that person loved you back then all the heartache, all the pain would have been worth it because it meant that you finally were getting your happily ever after. Then my mother died and all thoughts of happily ever after and love died with her.
I met Elena Gilbert when I was fifteen and she was thirteen and honestly I didn't think much about her except that she was the annoying little girl that moved in two doors down with her crazy ass aunt. That all changed when Giuseppe was drunk and decided that I looked like a good punching bag. Elena stepped in front of me that day, all four foot nine of her, her hands on her hips and her eyes blazing as she dared to do something that nobody had ever done- she challenged Giuseppe.
"You will not touch him!" She demanded, stomping her foot.
"Get out of my way, female." Giuseppe had growled and from the tic in his jaw I could tell that he was angry. Elena was a stubborn girl though, she merely cocked an eyebrow at him and folded her arms across her chest.
"Over my dead body." She spat stepping closer to Giuseppe until I was sure that she could smell the whiskey on his breath, "You will not touch him." And to this day he did something that shocked me to the core, he backed off, like Elena managed to have some kind of sway over him or something. After that moment Elena became a bit of a hero to me and a best friend, we were inseparable. I never really saw her as anything more than a friend and a little sister though until a few years down the road. Elena was seventeen, a little awkward and still growing into herself and I was nineteen and a manwhore to boot, doing anything and everything that I could to avoid having to go home each night. It was a Wednesday night and Elena and I were scheduled for out biweekly movie night while my girlfriend Katherine was at cheerleading practice. Jenna, Elena's aunt, waved at me as I passed her on the way up the stairs to Elena's room, having long gotten past the fact that her nieces' best friend was male and there was nothing going on between us.
Elena's bedroom door was closed, the soft rattling of the base through the door the only indication that she was even home. Pausing briefly to listen for any noises I pushed open Elena's bedroom door. The music was some old rock music that Elena tended to listen too, and Elena was jumping around on her bed as she sang out at the top of her lungs, completely off key, words that I was sure weren't the correct lyrics.
"Hey you, don't be afraid, you were made to, go out and get her- the minute you let her under your skin then you begin to make it better." I chuckled softly as she spun around, her key getting more and more off the more into the songs she got. Bending down she snatched her remote off of her nightstand and flipped songs before resuming her little show for me- not that she knew I was watching. "Saying I love you, is not the words I want to hear from you it's not that I want to, not to say but if you only knew, how easy it- it would be to show me how you feel, more than words- is all you have to do to make it real- then you wouldn't have to say that you love me, cause id already know." Her hips were swaying as she sang along with the ballad. She reached down to pick up the teddy bear that I had given her for her sixteenth birthday, holding it tightly to her chest as she swayed. Laughing softly I went to bang my hand against the door but her next words made me pause- "And Damon, my darling you'll never really know how much I truly love you." Giggling softly she pressed a kiss to the bear's nose before flopping down on the bed, curling the bear closer to herself. "And it's something that I'll never tell." She singsonged. Completely dumbfounded I stood there watching as she smiled coyly, her arms wrapping around her waist, the teddy clutched tightly to her chest. Stepping back into the hallway, I quietly closed the door behind me and leaned back against the wall. Elena was in love with me and from the sounds of it had been for a while. Pushing my fingers back through my hair I tried not to let the news startle me, tried to act like nothing had changed when in all honesty it had changed everything. Sliding down to sit against the way I took a moment to truly think about Elena. She was my best friend, family to me when nobody else really had been. Swearing softly I pushed my fingers back through my hair once more and let my eyes fall shut. What the hell was I going to do?
"What are you doing out here." Jerking myself forward, my eyes snapped open, coming face to face with Elena who was crouched down in front of me, her face the perfect picture of concern. "Are you okay?" nodding a forced a smile to my lips.
"Yeah come on, we have a movie night don't we?" Elena flashed me one of her brilliant smiles, the meaning behind that look hitting me hard. Walking into her room, we each took our respective places on her bed, her leaning against the headboard, me resting back against the baseboard.
"Anything new?" she asked, her customary question like she hadn't seen me in weeks when the truth was we had seen each other earlier at school. Crossing my legs and stretching, resting my hands behind me I thought about everything that I had witnessed, what she felt for me…and every instinct in my body was telling me that she deserved better, my feelings for her be damned. Licking my lips I tried to come up with the quickest thing that I could do to push her away from me.
"Nothing much, just spending time with Katherine. You don't get it Lena, she's unlike any other girl that I've ever met." Forcing a smile to my lips again I tired as hard as I could to keep the lies going, even though I was hurting Elena it was better that she didn't feel that way about me anymore, I could only bring her pain and misery. Elena looked like I had punched her, the hurt clearly written across the features that I knew so well. "And the thing that she does with her tongue on the tip of my co-"
"Damon!" She squealed, her skin flushing this brilliant pink shade that had all sorts of non-brotherly thoughts going through my head. Laughing softly I flashed her another smile.
"Just seeing if you were paying attention there Lena. I wouldn't dream of telling you what goes on between Katherine and me behind closed doors. You're too much like a little sister, it'd be wrong on so many different levels that I don't think I could ever do that." Elena looked like she wanted to vomit, her face taking on this ashen color as she watched me, her eyes wide and brimming with tears. Okay maybe I hadn't really thought this through completely, but it wasn't exactly like I could change my mind, I had already done the damage. When it looked like she was going to break completely, I reached for her. "Are you okay?" Elena was shoving me away from her, her throat catching on what I could only assume was a sob.
"'m fine." Her voice cracked as she lied to me, jumping off of the bed and barreling out of her bedroom and down the hallway to where the bathroom was located, the door slamming in front of my face as I followed after her, needing to know that she would be okay.
"Elena?" I questioned softly, pressing my ear against the door and hating myself all the more when I heard her stuttered breathing and the soft whimpers that told me she was crying. I was the worst kind of person for doing it to her, there were places in hell reserved for people like me, but she deserved so much better than me, I would only cause her pain and misery. Swallowing down all the feeling that were bubbling to the surface I knocked softly on the door, praying that she would answer me. "Do you need me to get your aunt." The last thing that I wanted to do was get Jenna. Sure she liked me and all but the second she say Elena and the state that she was in she would start demanding answers and when Elena's feelings all came out Jenna would go into momma bear mode and probably castrate me.
"I'm fine." She managed to get out in a horse voice a few minutes later when she opened the door to the bathroom, her eyes bloodshot, a clear indication that she had been crying more then I thought that she was. "There's no need to get Jenna, it was probably just something that I ate." I wanted to be sick as she lied to me again. We never lied to each other, we never had any secrets and yet there I was, forcing her to, all so she could protect her heart from me.
"Are you sure love?" I questioned, reaching up to touch the strand of hair that was hanging down in front of her face back behind her ear- allowing myself that small touch before I started to pull myself away from her.
"yeah im sure." She gave me this lopsided smile that looked completely forced before taking a deep breath like she was trying to steel herself to say something that she didn't want to say. "you were saying something about Katherine before I rudely interrupted you." I wanted to call her out on her lie I wanted to stop everything that I had put into motion but there was nothing that I could do, I had made my bed and it was time to lay in it, besides, I reminded myself fervently, Elena deserved better then me.
"its nothing important," I murmured as I followed her back towards her room. Taking up our usual places on her bed once more I licked at my lips, wondering how I could seal the deal with her- all it would take is one more well placed shove and hopefully Elena would decide that I was a jerk and that she needed to move on. "Elena." She looked up at me so hopefully in that moment that part of me wanted to call the whole thing off, but then the words were tumbling out of my mouth and I was helpless to stop it, "I think Katherine is the one…I'm gonna tell her that I love her." Once again Elena looked like I had slapped her, her eyes brimming with tears as she struggled to find something, from the looks of it, anything that she could say to me. I knew that I had sealed my fate and as she looked at me like I had just killed her I couldn't help but wonder again if I was doing the right thing. "Well say something?" Foot meet mouth. Elena sighed an audible sigh of relief when her phone started vibrating from the vanity behind me. Looking behind me, I scowled when I noticed my brothers name blinking across the screen a moment before she answered it. Leaning back I tried to show my concern, tried to show my interest in what she was talking about with my brother but the honest truth was I could care less- that is until her last words passed from her lips and then it was my turn to feel like I had been punched in the stomach.
"Okay Stefan. The answer is yes, I'll go on a date with you." Swearing softly to myself I closed my eyes, my heart racing, knowing that I had done the wrong thing but pushing her away, knowing that any second the jealousy was going to flare up, and I had nobody to blame but myself. I had managed to push her away like I planned, and right into the arms of my waiting brother- only for me to realize that as much as Elena loved me, I love her too…and now there wasn't much that I could do about it.
