Damon walked into the boarding house to see Elena seated on the couch, clearly having heard what happened with Ric.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEah00qIz9Q
She looked at him, as he sat down beside her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtH8AgalY
"How is he?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKvhj3bYJE
"He'll live," he answered her.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyFNCYa6YH
His reply relieved her, though she didn't know what she felt about Ric being human again.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQBnNeoYdj
Suddenly images began to come to her; memories. Pain began in her head, as they surfaced.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcADe6OFXTN
She put fingers to her temple.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNEfQ8O4EW
"Elena?" he called, worried.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqM4upkbS6
"I'm starting to remember."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPI6RCY1L
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ifIQP97A
"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."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUPMeCW0D0
"Because I love you. I chose you," she replied.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WPoVZE70b
"Now I'm choosing. And I'm choosing to let you go."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jhDOtSmYd
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GihvJEXhU
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGpHrLaITL
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn6b1dzM60
They were silent, as they looked at each other.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeng7DqIYr0
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUYEpuzs2
When Damon appeared, she looked at him.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBPShGvyg4
"Damon?"739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PuedNhiFk
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQKPQsA6hQ
"That doesn't mean you have to act like a..."739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DSBQgkgcV
"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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNNV1EXvNY
"Thank...you," he whispered.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVATpd8L9ny
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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlAFavNM65
Elena went to stand a distance behind the vampire.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bXTfESsRy

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.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkEvjkopC1
She looked at him, as he looked her over.739Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S0GvpfCT1
