Authors note: New to this so, constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated. There isn't much Elena in this, I like her character she just doesn't fit into this story plan. This is a continuation from'' Fool Me Once'' episode Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading my fanfics as much as I do writing them. Well, here goes nothin'.

Damon's POV

I sit on the couch watching TV. You know I really hate that Sham Wow guy. If there's anyone I would like to feed on, it would be him, and then I would clean up the mess with the Sham Wow. As much as I would like to laugh at my own hillarity, I can't. I don't know where Katherine is ,she was supposed to be in the tomb.

Anger floods though my veins, I'm mad, at whom I don't know. But I'm just so pissed I have to fly off the handle at someone. And so I do what I always do, go for the closest person to me, and I'm not just talking about close in proximity.

''You know Stefan, this is all your fault.''

''What are you talking about Damon?''

'' This is exactly what you wanted isn't it. Your glad she wasn't there, your happy I'm miserable.''

''Damon, I couldn't have known that she wasn't there.''

''Thats how you always were, you always cared about your own life and never about me. Well I've got some news for you little brother, I hate you. You've ruined my life. And I can honestly say, I hope you die.'' The words leave my mouth before I'm able to realize what I'm saying.

I see the hurt flash across his face and he holds back his tears.

''I...I..'' He stutters, and swallows before he nods and continues, '' I'm sorry.''

He turns his back and walks out the door. I sigh, as I realized that I've just pushed away the only family I had left.

I sit back on the couch and sulk.

''Note to self, try to make it up to Stefan when he comes back.''

Stefan's POV

I turn my back and walk out the door. I can't believe what Damon, just said. Tears roll down my face. Who am I kidding, I'm a horrible brother. I made a deal with him so that he would leave town, and I would never see him again. How could I have done that. I was just so selfish, only caring about my own happiness, never thinking about his.

He's my brother, and I llike him, no I love him, I'm just not very good at showing him I guess. I can undertstand if he hated me I probably deserve it, but he said that he hopes I die. Does he really hate me THAT much. Tears continue to fall freely from my eyes, at this realization.

A branch breaks in the distance. '' Hello?'' I ask. There's suddenly a rush of wind, and I feel someone behind me. Before I have the chance to turn around, I feel something crash into my skull. Pain flashes in my eyes. Darkness clouds my senses and the last thought that goes through my mind is of Damon.
