Damon walked into the boarding house to see Elena seated on the couch, clearly having heard what happened with Ric.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw7KbMXdfu
She looked at him, as he sat down beside her.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJP8eSllz0
"How is he?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ290qDhcEfQ
"He'll live," he answered her.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvumBjrhJ9M
His reply relieved her, though she didn't know what she felt about Ric being human again.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEqkYpiqF
Suddenly images began to come to her; memories. Pain began in her head, as they surfaced.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7eiHRaQsm
She put fingers to her temple.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4tD2G5MUU
"Elena?" he called, worried.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsNde7mDOh
"I'm starting to remember."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hZKmySGdS
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANg2t8sXIX
"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."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmU0dA5Mhu
"Because I love you. I chose you," she replied.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUP7F4SMHW
"Now I'm choosing. And I'm choosing to let you go."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac1ED8Sd9q
"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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2nxfOxprd
"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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjrRuBHDeJ
"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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRojXcyQHb
They were silent, as they looked at each other.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQZrPaCkI
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nifMxhDkz
When Damon appeared, she looked at him.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw1S7OkJkT
"Damon?"738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY4SXCG3c5
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLORxKH1UR2
"That doesn't mean you have to act like a..."738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJdKKsDdkA
"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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6lzE3HJk
"Thank...you," he whispered.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxHAJE7tY1
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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUK6MPYcrQ
Elena went to stand a distance behind the vampire.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwBRPzK3F

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.738Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxeLe3YTYj
