I walked into the coffee shop. I looked around for Damon, but I didn't see him. Then something tapped my shoulder and I jumped. I turned around to see Damon standing with a smirk on his face. My heart was fluttering.

"You scared me." I accused him, trying to slow my heart rate down.

"Sorry." He said, coughing to cover a laugh. "Do you want to go get a table and I'll get the coffee?" He asked.

"Actually can I have a-"

"Tea?" Damon asked, still smirking. "Two sugar and lots of milk?" I nodded slowly and watched him walk over to the counter. Then I looked around for a table. I was amazed at how many people came for coffee. Most of the tables were taken except the booths in the back of the shop. I walked over to it and removed my jacket, throwing it on the seat, then sat down playing with the salt that was on the table. I poured some onto the able top and used my finger to put it in a small pile.

Damon came and sat down across from me. He handed me my tea and looked at my pile of salt then smiled. I poured more salt down and made a bigger pile. I made some weird shape and then looked around the shop. The silence was killing me.

"So." I asked Damon. Damon kept staring at me. I took a sip of my tea, feeling uncomfortable. But, I still needed to asked him about Chad .. somehow. "Uh, how long have you known Chad?" I asked him, feeling my stomach turn at the thought of him. Damon shrugged.

"Not too long." He said, looking away. "You've known him longer." I stopped breathing. I've known Chad for a long time and I never realized how much of a creep he is? Damon looked back to me. "When he was training to become a officer you two sent each other letters and stuff. But, there something about him that's .. off." He looked away again and so did I.

"You noticed that too, huh?" Then I looked at Damon, wide eyed. He was staring at me. What did I just do? What the hell did I just say? I grabbed my jacket and tried getting out of the booth but Damon pushed me over and sat beside me. "Excuse me." I said, trying to move him so I could leave. "Damon." I said when he didn't move. Damon turned and looked at me.

"What did he do to you?" He asked. He was glaring into my eyes and it was almost impossible not to shiver at his black dead eyes. I looked away quickly. "Elena." He said. I saw him reach out his hand, as if to touch mine and show me that he was going to protect me, but he stopped probably thinking it was going to scare me. "Just tell me what he did to you." I shook my head.

"I shouldn't have even told you anything." I said under my breath. Damon put his hand to my chin.

"I'm here to protect you, Elena, not hurt you more than you have already been hurt." He said, staring into my eyes. "Just tell me what happened between you two. Did he hit you or push you?" Damon asked. I shook my head. "Did he .. touch you?" Damon asked, closing his eyes almost scared of the answer. I pushed his hand from chin.

"No!" I said, angry that he would even think of something like that. "Nothing like that." Damon put his hands up, almost like he was surrendering or showing me he wasn't trying to hurt me.

"I'm just trying to figure out what he did, Elena, I'm not the bad guy." He said. I looked around then finally realized I was going to have to tell him sometime, he wasn't even going to let me leave to shop until I did. I took a deep breath and looked away from him.

"He's just creeping me out." I said, not looking at Damon.

"What's he doing to creep you out?" He asked, curious. I looked up at him, why would he even care?

"The message you sent me, to come here." I started. "He deleted it while I was in the washroom. I had to check my deleted folder just to listen to it. Then, when I called you I heard something at the door." I took another breath. "I looked through the crack at the bottom and saw him standing there. I practically ran from the house to meet you here."

I looked up to Damon. He rubbed his eyes then looked at me.

"Have you noticed anything else?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Not that I remem- oh yeah, he's always looking at me and smiling at me funny." I said. "Also, the other day, when he took me to this island, he was acting really .. weird. I never realized anything at the time though." I shrugged my shoulders. Damon stared into my eyes.

"Nothing else?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Not that I remember." Damon nodded slowly then got up from the booth. He started walking away. "Damon!" I called after him. I watched him walk into an employees only door and merged from it a minute later. He walked back over to me and grabbed his jacket.

"Let's go." He said. I grabbed my jacket and followed him out the door.

"What did you do back there?" I asked him. He walked up to a car and opened the door.

"Get in." He said. I jumped in and he started the engine. We were speeding before we were even out of the parking lot.

"Damon." I said, gripping the door. Damon didn't answer me. He was looking at the road, staring into space. "Damon, where are we going?" I asked him. But, I spoke too soon. We were in front of Chad's house. Damon was already walking up the porch steps. I undid my seat belt and ran after him. "Damon!" I said. He walked into the house and closed the door. I tried opening it, but, it was locked. I knocked and kicked at the door, but it still wouldn't open. I jumped off the porch and tried looking though a window, but the curtains were all closed. Then Damon walked out from the house.

"Elena?" He said. I ran up to him and tried pushing him, but he didn't even budge.

"Why did you lock the door on me!" I screamed at him. I stood in front of him, waiting for his answer. "Well?" I asked. Damon just shrugged. He walked back towards the car. "Hey!" I called after him. He stopped and faced me. He held out my cell phone.

"Here, I'm on speed dial, just in case." He said. "Chad shouldn't be a bother, either."

"What is that suppose to mean?" I asked him, he just shrugged and punched me playfully in my arm. He smirked then started walking towards his car.

"I'll talk to you later?" He said, turning to see me then getting into his car. He drove down the drive way and hit the gas, probably leaving black marks on the gravel. I stood in the drive way alone.

I finally decided I should go inside and face whatever was to come. My only problem was .. Chad. Despite my better judgment to run away and somehow find somewhere else to stay, I walked up the porch and opened the door slowly. I peeked inside, looking for Chad, but I couldn't find him. I closed the door silently behind myself and started walking towards the stairs.

But then something pulled on my hair. It felt like someone was trying to rip it could of my head. I screamed in pain. Then I was thrown onto the stairs. I got to my feet and started running up them as fast as I could but something caught my foot. I hit my chin on five steps while being pulled down them. I used my other foot to kick something in the face. I looked back and saw Chad fall onto his back at the bottom of the stairs. I ran up the stairs and went down the hall into my room. I slammed the door and pushed a chair under the door handle. I ran to the window and tried opening it. Then I realized there was a lock on it. I turned back to the door and saw a shadow under the door. Then there was a loud banging. I looked around for another exit.

There was a weird feeling in my jacket pocket. I fumbled around and found my cell phone. There was a new message from Damon. I exited the message and dialed 911. Then I saw a lamp on the nightstand. I unplugged it then smashed it through the window. I put the phone to my ear and started climbing from the window onto the roof. But then something grabbed my waist and my phone slipped from my hands, out the window. He through me onto the ground and stood over top of me.

"Why would you do that?" He screamed at me, throwing his hands in the air. I tried getting up but he used his foot to knock me back down. "Why would you go see him?" I shook my head, tears fighting to escape my eyes.

"Please." I pleaded. Chad looked down to me.

"Do you know how much I love you?" He screamed to me. I stared at him, horrified about what was going to happen next. Chad reached under his shirt.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, tears running down my cheeks. Chad pointed the gun to me. "I'm sorry." I said, again, looking straight into his eyes. Chad lowered the gun. His eyes looked wild. I slowly got to my knees then to my feet. Chad put the gun back under his shirt and he took two strides to stand in front of me.

His lips crashed down on mine and he pushed me against the wall. He wrapped his arms around my waist and crushed my body against his. I didn't dare to move. I stood still and didn't move my lips with his. Then he lifted me from the ground and threw me onto the bed. Tears flooded my vision and I held my breath, wishing I could just die already. I saw him remove his shirt, then he was pinned to the wall with Damon grabbing his neck. Chad's face was red.

"What the hell are you doing?" Damon growled at him. Chad shook his head. "Revain?" Damon said to himself. He squeezed Chad's neck harder then let go. He stared at Chad's unmoving body then turned to me. His eyes were black and something switched on his face. His eyes then returned to their original blue. I stared at Damon then to Chad's body.

"Are you okay?" Damon asked me. I nodded slowly.

"Yeah .." I said shaky. "I think so." I got to my feet. "But .. how did you .. ?" I asked unable to finished my sentence. It made no sense. Was Damon checking in on me or what? I never called him or even text him.

"I told you I was on speed dial." He said, taking a step towards me. "You called 911, didn't you?" He asked. I stared at him in disbelief. How did he even do that? Damon just shrugged his shoulders. "Come on, get your stuff and we'll go back home." I nodded slowly then grabbed my bag that was beside the nightstand. I looked back to Damon. "You go downstairs." He said, looking at Chad's limp body. "I have to take care of this."I nodded then almost ran down the stairs.

"You can sleep in here, if you want." Damon said, opening the door to a bedroom. I nodded slowly then walked into the room. I turned back to Damon.

"Thanks, again, for everything." I said. Damon nodded slowly. "I don't know what would have happened if .. " I trailed off. Damon nodded again.

"It's not that big of a deal." He said. He opened another door. "Here's the bathroom. I figured it might be awkward for you to share one." I sat on the bed. Something about this place seemed so .. homey. Almost as if this were where I was always suppose to be. Plus, with Damon here, it made my nightmare seem less scarier. "Also, if your hungry, there's some food in the kitchen. But I have to get some more so you can make a list or whatever." I nodded slowly.

"Alright." I said. Damon looked at me then smirked and walked out of the door. I put my bag down then laid on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I closed my eyes, feeling the sleep trying to take over.

"Hey, Elena, I forgo-" Damon said. I was too tired to open my eyes and sit up, so I just pretended to be sleeping. I heard his footsteps come towards my bed. He lifted the comforter from underneath me and pulled it up to my shoulders then I turned over to see him.

"Dam-" I started but was stopped when something warm touched my lips. I blinked my eyes in astonishment. That couldn't have been real. I sat up quickly, blinking again. I felt tears strumming down my face.

"Elena?" Damon said, sitting beside me. "Elena?" He said again, getting impatient. I smiled to Damon and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you." I said to him. I remembered everything. Damon getting on his knee, Damon and I fighting over me staying at Jenna's the night before our wedding, walking behind Bonnie and Caroline, seeing Damon see me the first time in my wedding dress, and the accident.

"Elena?" Damon said. "Are you alright?" I smiled again to Damon.

"I remember." I said. "I remember everything, our wedding, our accident .. everything!" I said, kissing him. I pulled away when Damon didn't even move. His face was in shock. "Damon?" I asked. Damon blinked then looked back to me. He pulled me close to him and kissed my lips.

"I love you so much, Elena Salvatore." He whispered on my lips. I smiled to him.
