Damon walked into the boarding house to see Elena seated on the couch, clearly having heard what happened with Ric.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeZZUJZcGF
She looked at him, as he sat down beside her.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrloXtNWR56
"How is he?"708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HgE677OLJ
"He'll live," he answered her.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO1TYcwMaK
His reply relieved her, though she didn't know what she felt about Ric being human again.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOf3RGOWuu
Suddenly images began to come to her; memories. Pain began in her head, as they surfaced.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbl7hQyRB0
She put fingers to her temple.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjDkh0UhuF
"Elena?" he called, worried.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZxtBiDj7
"I'm starting to remember."708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjcGuMeRD
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bdczCs7tT
"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."708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ9SENWClz
"Because I love you. I chose you," she replied.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP9dHPYe1A
"Now I'm choosing. And I'm choosing to let you go."708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ2F6WFkWC
"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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXF5mfZdup
"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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC8sKdfkY0
"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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdUmd4owI
They were silent, as they looked at each other.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU4IyjQjbH
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBgevvKa6Y
When Damon appeared, she looked at him.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiUJS6Da2
"Damon?"708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVt3gm6rqn
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs0miZndcl
"That doesn't mean you have to act like a..."708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU5NCopL7V
"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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLxrgYkg1b
"Thank...you," he whispered.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkFyTsjcB
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpzrD5XKQM
Elena went to stand a distance behind the vampire.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrLQsIGnB1

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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKQiGov9Ph
