Hey everyone! Sorry I have been M.I.A. these past few days but my school life has been getting in the way. What they say is true, junior year is the hardest year. It's only the 3rd week of school and the work is already piling on. Anywho I know I bore you with these author notes so lets get back to where we left Damon and Elena!

By the time the song was over their faces were mere inches apart, and both of their eyes were starting to have lust in them. This is exactly what Damon wanted to happen but now that it was about to he was a tiny bit nervous. All he had to do was just close the distance and…

Just as their lips were about to touch Elena's cell phone went off from her pocket in a loud and annoying manor. Elena disentangled herself from Damon and answered her phone.

"Uh…hello?" Elena said in her best attempt not to slur her words. Because of the fact that Damon has excellent hearing he was able to pick up the conversation.

"Hey Elena, its Jenna. I just thought I would let you know that I'm coming home tonight cause Ric was starting to get sick. So I'll be there in about 20 minutes.

"Ok J-j-enna. I'll see y-you then. Bye." When she hung up she gave Damon a very awkward look.

"Um…I gotta get home and try not to let Jenna see me like this. So I'll see you Damon." As she was rushing to get by him he stepped right in front of her.

"Woah slow down there tiger, you miss Elena are drunk and in no condition to drive. So let me take you home and sneak you in through your window."

"Mhm…just get me home. I'm sweepy." Elena said as she let the alcohol take over. She would have fallen over if Damon hadn't caught her. He picked he up and carried her to her car; it was an odd sense of déjà vu for him carrying her this way. It was just like he did when she had the car accident. After he got her situated in the car he sped over to her house and parked in the driveway. He noticed that Jenna wasn't home yet so this would be pretty easy. He looked up at her bedroom window and noticed that it was open, which would be very convenient. Damon walked to the other side of the car and picked Elena up and she gave a little moan of protest,

"Shh, shh. You will be in you room in a second. Just hold on to me."

He looked around just to make sure nobody was looking and then jumped so that he was standing on a tree branch. He walked smoothly across it and went through the window. Damon walked to her bed and laid her down on it. Not wanting to just leave her like this he took off her jacket then her shoes and socks. The perverted side of his mind wanted him to take off her jeans and shirt just to see her in her underwear but he just rolled his eyes at his childish ways. Just as he was about to leave Elena reached out and grabbed his arm,

"Damon…"

"I was just about to leave. You need to get some sleep Elena."

"Please d-don't le-le-leave me. I don't wanna be al-alone. I feel safer with y-you around." Elena struggled to say.

"Alright, I'm not going anywhere."

"You have to promise me that you won't."

"I promise I'll be here when you wake up." Damon said sincerely.

"N-n-not what I ma-meant. You have to promise that you won't abandon me like everyone else has. You are all that I ha-have leffft. I c-can't lose you." What she just said made Damon really regret getting her drunk. She was in no condition to be drinking what so ever. She needed a friend, not a drinking buddy.

"You got nothing to worry about Elena. I'm not going anywhere."

"Th-thank you. Night." With that Elena fell asleep.

When Elena woke up the next day she felt like she was run over by a truck, beaten with a baseball bat, then thrown across the room. And to make matters worse, she couldn't remember how she got home last night. She tried to remember but everything was a blur, she took a wild guess that she had been drinking yesterday. She glanced next to her she saw a note.

Elena,

I know I said that I would be there when you woke up but I decided to let you have the morning to yourself. And besides, everyone needs to have a break from yours truly sometimes. If you're up to it call me a little later and I'll take you out to lunch or something. Or maybe even give you a good remedy for that massive hangover you probably have.

-Damon

Then flashbacks from yesterday came crashing to her like a ton of bricks: her drinking, her wild dancing, and then almost kissing Damon. What the hell was she thinking? Obviously not much when she thought that kissing him would be an ok thing to do. But as much as she wanted to deny it she knew exactly what she was doing as she was leaning in to kiss him. The attraction was so great she thought that she was going to explode from all of the tension, and the drinking just amplified it. She didn't understand what was wrong with her; she, under no circumstances could have anything other then friendship feelings for Damon Salvatore. It would just be a disaster waiting to happen. What she needed was a cold shower and a couple of Tylenol and she would be fine. She walked to her bathroom and but then ran into Jeremy.

"Oh sorry Jer, didn't see you there."

"Its alright. Where were you last night, I didn't hear you come in."

"Apparently I was over at Damon's getting drunk. But please don't tell Jenna."

"Apparently? I think someone got a little to smashed last night." He said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Yeah yeah laugh it up. Are you done in here cause I gotta take a shower."

"Yup go right ahead. Oh and another thing, just be careful around Damon."

"And why should I besides the obvious reasons?" She said curiously.

"Well you know he's gunna try to put the moves on you since Stefan is gone and you two are on speaking terms again."

"Don't worry. I won't let him. Now out!" As Elena closed the door she couldn't help but think of what Jeremy was saying, she knows that he was just looking out for her. It was actually a nice gesture, the only really good thing about her life the past eight months was that her and Jeremy were almost back to normal. But what he said was now bugging her. She knew that Damon felt something towards her but she always thought it was just a small crush because she looked like Katherine. He couldn't possibly be in love with her, could he?

One of the many feelings that Damon felt with being in love with Elena was unfortunately frustration. To say that he was a little frustrated right now would be the understatement of the year. That girl was seriously going to be the death of him, he kept thinking what would have happened if they weren't interrupted last night. He knew it wouldn't lead to anything good, but what he wouldn't give to have Elena underneath him begging him to give her what she needed and then her screaming his name. Damon was pulled from his x-rated thoughts by a knock on his door. He knew it wasn't Elena because she would have just walked in. Instead of just ignoring it he answered the door and a look of a surprise was washed across his face when he saw the youngest Gilbert at his doorstep. Damon just smirked and said,

"And now what would Jeremy Gilbert be doing at the door of Damon Salvatore's house when he can barely tolerate him?"

"Look I just wanna talk for a second and then I'll go away."

"You have 20 seconds."

"All I wanted to say was please don't hurt my sister, she has been though enough." That was probably one of the last things Damon was expecting to hear.

"And why would I do that?"

"Look I'm not stupid Damon, I know that you're in love with Elena and in some twisted way she really cares for you too. So all I'm saying is just treat her right and don't pull the usual BS that you normally do to hurt her."

"Well look at you jumping to conclusions like a big boy, hate to break it to you but me and Elena are just friends. There's nothing romantic there." Damon said with all of the lying methods he had learned.

"Oh really now? Cause when I was going to the bathroom in the middle of the night I overheard you in Elena's room. I believe it went something like 'If only you had met me first then things would be different. Then you would of fallen in love with me instead of Stefan …'"

"Ok I get it." Damon snapped, "Yes it is true that I…love your sister, but it doesn't give you the right to mock me about it."

"Who said I was mocking? I think its sweet, you two are perfect for each other. Believe me."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"It means that apparently you don't listen to Elena when she goes to sleep. But I gotta go, so just remember what I said." With that Jeremy left leaving Damon standing there dumbfounded. That was not how he pictured this conversation going. Then he felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket, he saw that it was Elena calling.

"Suffering from your hangover I assume?"

"Can you come over? We need to talk."

'Oh this should be fun…" Damon thought.

Yeah I know that wasn't the best chapter in the world but I wanted to put something out there so it wouldn't be to long in between updates. And yeah I threw Jeremy in the mix. Thought it would be nice to have his input with the whole situation going on. So I hoped you liked it, please review!
