A/N – Okies peoples! This is gonna be a full story and I hope you are gonna enjoy it! I'm sorry for not UD'ing sooner, and my next VA one is gonna be up soon. Review to tell me if you like it or not!

Damon POV

Katherine left me, standing in the parlour, trying not to let my emotions get out. I had been surprised to see Katherine so soon, I must admit, but shock soon wore enough. When I first caught sight of her, my eyes prickled in their sockets and I was overwhelmed, upset, glad and most of, I felt my love for her surge then never go down. I knew then, she was the woman I truly loved.

* Flashback

We talked for about a minute, and I threatened to kill her only because I was scared of my emotions. I had never had such intense emotions other than when I was with Elena.

When we kissed again, I was kissing Katherine and not Elena. Something, I noticed, was wrong. Very wrong. Then, it suddenly dawned on me that se had just reappeared and I knew then, I had to know her motives. I had to know why she came back. I needed to know if it was me, or my brother.

I walked away from her, needing just a second to think, and turned to face her again. Through my heartfelt words, I felt the tears build up again and I knew I would lose it soon, if I had to go on, but I still relented – taking down all my walls. Every single last one of them. I let her see the real Damon again, not some random tough guy act. I gave myself up to her, making myself more vulnerable than I ever had before.

She stopped me when I gently held her face, trying to get the sincerity of my words across, and she gave me my answer. Just, not the one I wanted. I could tell she was trying to be as gentle as she could, but that didn't come natural to her. She was cruel and manipulative, not in touch with her humanity, but I could tell she was trying, and I applauded her for that.

She gently took my hands from her face, after telling me she was back for Stefan, not me, and I felt my heart break all over again, the 145 years of holding back my emotions came to me and wouldn't go away. This time, I couldn't see myself healing at all, I couldn't see myself turning of my feelings, I couldn't see any future for me at all. All I could see was pain, and plenty of it.

*Flashback ends

I waited until she was out of earshot before I broke down. I could no longer hold it in, I cried, for the first time since 1864, I cried for my love.

When I was young,
I took a chance on life,
When I was young,
I stayed up most nights,
Nobody knows, and nobody cares
You took my heart, you took my heart

Moving down the empty, cobbled stairway
Looking out for a friendly face to see me, oh
'Cause nobody knows and nobody cares
You took my heart, you took my heart

Katherine POV

I knew that I had broken his heart, and stopped just a little outside of the Boarding House so I could see how Damon really was. When I heard his first strangled sob, I took off; running as fast as I possibly could, away from everything.

I knew I couldn't go through with my evil plan anymore, I had hurt plenty of people in my time, but I had never ever felt as bad as I did when I said that to Damon. I knew I had one more thing to do. One more thing left to do, my final thing I ever did. These people deserve that at least…

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending

But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask
Where will you hide?
I can't find yourself
Lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
And somehow now you're everybody's fool

Stefan POV

I left Elena to get showered and ran over to the park to just absorb all of what had happened. I lay down on the ground and stared at the stars. Suddenly, I felt a presence next to me. I knew who it was, nobody could move as stealthily as her. It was Katherine, but I was too exhausted to even bother trying to attack her.

"You know, I'm surprised. I would have thought you'd attack me by now, but please don't, because I've come here to say goodbye. I'm leaving. For good. I promise you Stefan, you won't ever see me again. I'm doing something that you won't understand, but it's for the best. I'm tired of doing this – hurting people. I came back to Mystic Falls for you, Stefan, but I can't do this, I honestly can't. You're happy now, and I love you so much but I know you're better off without me. I just know it, you're happy for the first time in a long time. I know that now. So, I promise, I'm gone. For good."

I honestly didn't expect something like that, but I knew she was telling the truth. As I turned to glance at her, she raced away, but not before I saw a glimpse of her face, red and blotchy from crying. There was a weakness, and I had the privileged of seeing it.

As I got up, I saw a note lying where Katherine had previously occupied. All it said was,

Where it all began, you're old house ruins. Tomorrow midday. I love you with all my heart, K.

Well, that was a first; I lay back down and continued to think about Katherine and out strange meeting where I didn't get a chance to say one single thing to her. It wasn't normal for her. And what if I did go tomorrow? What would happen?

What if?
What if I'm the one for you?
And you're the one for me?
What If...

If you are the one
then us meeting here is fate
Future with a dog named Ben
Buy a house with a fireplace
This is the first I've seen your face
but there a chance we are soul mates
I know that this might sound crazy,
'Cos you don't know my name

Chorus
But we cant,
we cant tell,
the future no
the first kiss, the beauty of the world we know
So imma say du du duduu duduu
Baby, what if
We could all say du du duduu duduu
Baby what if

What if (x6)

Picture me on one knee
with the perfect diamond ring
we just met, but if you say yes
wed have our wedding on the beach
it could happen, raise three kids
and we grow old oh so happily.
I know this might sound crazy, 'cos I don't know your name

Chorus
but we cant,
we cant tell,
the future no
but that's just, the beauty of the world we know
So imma say du du duduu duduu
Baby, what if
We could all say du du duduu duduu
Baby what if

What if (x6)

Bridge
Don't know what tomorrow brings
but I'm still hoping,
that you are the one for me
Oh and what if I had you and what you had me and baby what's the reason, we cant fall in love?
What if..?
What if..?
What if..?

Chorus
but we cant,
we cant tell,
the future no
but that's just, the beauty of the world we know
So imma say du du duduu duduu
Baby, what if
We could all say du du duduu duduu
Baby what if

Elena POV

I finished in the bathroom, and made my way to my bedroom, jumping back in shock when I saw Damon sitting placidly on my bed.

"God! You scared me!" I said and he glanced over at me, raising an eyebrow.

He replied, yet seemed strangely distant and quiet. Less sarcastic yet more at the same time, as if he was trying to hard.

I spoke again, trying to catch his attention yet he still stared straight ahead and seemingly ignored me. It was then I realised something was completely wrong with him. It could only be one thing – Katherine. When he finally looked up at me, I noticed he had a strange glazed look to his eyes and figured that he's been drinking. He was upset and drunk – what a wonderful mixture.

When I pointed this out, he told me he wasn't upset because he didn't feel, but just looking at him, I could tell that he really did care and just wanted someone to care about him for once. He wanted to be loved, in any way possible. He wanted someone to be there for him, someone he could reveal his true self to. I guessed that he thought that person was Katherine, but the bitch left him. As I looked closer, I noticed he had red rims around his eyes and they still looked slightly watery. He'd been crying, and no one had been there for him. He'd been by himself, alone, isolated. I knew how that felt, and I knew he couldn't be alone anymore. I knew what I had to do.

Suddenly he said, "You're surprised that I thought that you would kiss me back?" He asked, referring to our earlier argument. I knew that I had hurt him, but obviously added to all of this, I saw just how deeply he felt and just how broken he was.

He continued on, "You can't imagine that I'd belieive that you'd want to. That what we've been doing here means something? You're the lyre here Elena, there is something going on between us, and you know it," he got up and advanced on me. "And you're lying to me, and you're lying to Stefan and most of all, you're lying to yourself. I can prove it."

Suddenly, he grabbed my face and brought his lips to mine. I shook my head and tried to get him off.

"No Damon! I can't do this… Katherine just broke your heart and I'm with your brother Damon, your brother!" My words must have got through to him because, as quickly as he had grabbed me, he let me go.

He moved away but I grabbed his hand, "I'm not going to do this with you Damon. I want to help you learn to love me as a friend and I want you to fall in love with someone good for you. I don't want you to hurt, Damon! I want you to be happy; I love you, but only as a friend right now. Maybe things will change in the future, but I honestly don't know. I just… I just want to help you!"

With my words, he broke down and sobbed into my shoulder. Jer passed but saw Damon and moved on rather quickly. I just held Damon all night and we soon fell asleep, curled into each other.

Living on the edge out of control
And the world just wont let me slow down
But in my biggest picture
was a photo of you and
me
Girl you know I tired

I work hard to provide
All the material things I
Thought that would make
You happy
I'm confused can you make me understand
'Cause I tried to give you the best of me
I thought we were cool
maybe I was blind
But never took time to see!
