Damon walked into the boarding house to see Elena seated on the couch, clearly having heard what happened with Ric.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWTMck7hCK
She looked at him, as he sat down beside her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOtlMCTFwf
"How is he?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6k0jWZtd4
"He'll live," he answered her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHXO2E0A6I
His reply relieved her, though she didn't know what she felt about Ric being human again.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjXrs8i46w
Suddenly images began to come to her; memories. Pain began in her head, as they surfaced.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84NTTiJOfa
She put fingers to her temple.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSSVdBVYDj
"Elena?" he called, worried.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPFeOljrH
"I'm starting to remember."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGwhFpqKla
Her reply relieved him. He wouldn't have to explain a memory to her that he remembered, but she didn't.

Damon and Elena stood in the living room of the boarding house, having a fight.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehtYPC88st
"There's nothing in this world that consecrates all the reasons that I am wrong for you. I am bad. I am bad for you, Elena. I don't know why you wouldn't run away from me as humanly possible."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVJI4Zb55B
"Because I love you. I chose you," she replied.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38W8ayalwv
"Now I'm choosing. And I'm choosing to let you go."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ObZpCuuoN
"So, that's it. You're just going to push me away."

It was a beautiful day in the boarding house. Summer was over, so she was going off to college to Whitmore. He didn't understand why since he had never liked school; even as a human. She was happy though, which made him happy for her. They were so happy that they began to make out. At one point, they ended up on the couch, as they did so.

It was a dark night, as Damon and Elena stood in the living room at the boarding house in front of the fireplace.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegfncGs0PC
"I'm not apologizing, because I am not sorry! I am not sorry that I would rather die than be human! I am not sorry that I would rather die right now than to spend the rest of my life with you, until I'm old and wrinkly and you're still you! I am not sorry, Elena!" he yelled.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXYmOgAr9I
"Then I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything! And I am not sorry that I am in love with you! I love you, Damon," she replied.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZ1ry4b0r
They were silent, as they looked at each other.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnladcwPh4
A moment later, they kissed.

It was a beautiful day, as she stood on the Whickery bridge, her skin being burned by the sun, her Daylight ring off, hallucinations gone.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o3zg7H6IQ
When Damon appeared, she looked at him.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPV4EOzooi
"Damon?"652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTyvFbAKy3
At vamp speed, he grabbed her and jumped into the water with her, which saved her.

Damon and Elena were having a fight in a house. He was irritated that she thought he could be the good guy, but he wasn't. She was wrong.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uGnPze4aa
"That doesn't mean you have to act like a..."652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkfWhTjrmU
"What? A vampire? Well, guess what, Elena? I am a vampire! I'm not Stefan, so why don't you stop trying to turn me into him!" he yelled at her.

Damon lay in bed, barely awake, dying, Elena beside him, keeping him company and listening to everything he had to say. Knowing he was close to death and that he loved her, she kissed him once on the lips and then pulled away.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPUBeaTebo
"Thank...you," he whispered.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77x4fsgvJl
A moment later, his sire, Katherine, walked in to cure him before it was too late.

It was a dark night as Elena tried to get the door open. The car was on fire and the door wasn't budging for her. She coughed, as smoke filled her lungs. And just as she thought she wouldn't make it, Damon was outside the door and forced it open, saving her life, yet again.

Damon was on his knees in pain as the male vampire stood over him, who had drenched Damon in gasoline and stood with a lit match, ready to end Damon by setting him on fire.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvassBt1L
Elena went to stand a distance behind the vampire.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGfJnujdFL

The male vampire looked at her.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZee1UbQ7

After looking between them, the vamp fled at vamp speed.

Damon stood in front of Elena, making sure she was okay, checking her over. She had just been in a car crash, which he assumed was due to a vampire.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DwPht6CCi
She looked at him, as he looked her over.652Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFkvxqMVKr
