Elena's Pov.

I ran to the only place I knew where to run. Home. Well, admittedly it was not my home anymore but it was all I had at the minute. I walked up the drive way of my childhood house and peered in the door to find all the lights off. Jenna and Alaric were out. I walked over to the plant pot to the side and slid a key out from under it, realizing I had left my keys at the boarding house. I let myself in and wondered on up to my old room.

It appeared that nothing had changed. It seemed the same as it was the day I moved out. Frozen in time. I curled up on the bed and let the tears fall freely as sobs broke through me. The next thing I knew I was laying in someone's arms as they stroked at my hair and mumbled words of comfort. Damon.

After what felt like days I sat myself upright as the tears stopped. I looked up into Damon's face and saw the deep concern in his features. This man, This Beautiful, sexy, funny, caring and dangerous man, Loves me. I opened my heart and accepted that he now took pride of place at its center, as I loved him too. Getting caught up in my thoughts I instinctively leaned forward and kissed him with passion. A passion that I felt returned immediately. His strong muscular arms wound round my waist and pulled me closer to his broad chest.

His lips drifted down my jaw line and moved swiftly to neck, finding my pulse point and sucked, causing me to moan deeply and unexpectedly. Damon turned us around slightly so that instead of being draped across his lap I was laid out on my bed with him above me. I felt his hands drift from my waist, higher to my chest and begin to fondle the mounds, through the lace of my bra, having snuck his hands under my blouse. I moved my hands to the bottom of his shirt and worked my way up, undoing the buttons as I went along, before reaching the neckline and snaking my hands under the fabric to get a feel of his defined chest.

As I allowed my hands to wonder down to the prominent bulge of Damon's jeans, he let out a feral growl and before I knew it he had removed every single item of clothing off himself and I.

As he leaned down and kissed me gently maintaining eye contact, and palming my chest he spoke softly 'I love you' as he entered me with a slow thrust that made my eyes roll to the back of my head. He pulled out and thrust forward before continuing the motion repeatedly. Getting faster and harder before I screamed out his name as he shuddered above me and collapsed down on top of me. Whilst we climbed down from our high, calming our heavy breathing, I thought about how oddly comforting his weight on me was. I smiled feeling utter devotion as Damon cuddled up to me.

After a comfortable silence for quite some time, I turned and kissed his check before standing up to retrieve my underwear and get dressed. Damon sat up and allowed his eyes to follow my every movement. He sighed and spoke up, probably the first words to be said since leaving the boarding house, other than words of encouragement during our love making.

'What do you want to do about John, baby?' I stilled for all of a second before moving around to tidy the place up. 'I Don't know Damon. I don't know anything right now. I just wish things were simple. Isobel showed up when I needed her most and had always been near by me, protecting me. John has made no appearance other than the pain in the ass uncle john Ive known my whole life. Now out of now where he shows up and pulls the protective dad bullshit? Its exhausting.' I sighed and after pulling my clothes into place turned to face Damon.

'You know that whatever you choose to do I'm going to stand by you and support you right? I love you Elena. I don't want any harm to come to you, be it in the form of a Vampire, or fucked up dads. I will always protect you.' His eyes were locked on mine the entire time he spoke. 'Of course I know that baby. Your about the only thing I'm certain about right now.' I smiled at him as he dressed himself at lightning speed and stopped directly in front of me.

'Good. Now let me take you home Angel. I'll clear the place out and we can deal with it tomorrow. Trust me, the shit will still be there.' He draped his arm around my shoulder and walked me out to the hall. I dreaded the walk home as my knees were still very much weak from being in bed with Damon. The second i stepped outside the house, Damon lifted me bridal style and walked me home, as I rest against him.

When we arrived home things seemed eerily quiet. I unlocked the door with Damon close behind me and looking into the house. I gasped. 'Guys what the hell do you think your doing?' Frozen like dear caught in a head light the room went still. Sat in a chair center of the room was John his wrists being held down by Isobel and Caroline, as Alaric and Jeremy struggled to stop giggling at they held a large contraption up together and a bag of potatoes to the left of them.

'Elena! Erm…Its not what it looks like…its so much more satisfying.' Jeremy Grinned. I shook my head in silent awe at how childish they could be. 'Jeremy, correct me if im wrong but isn't that a potato launcher you made weeks ago. You know its here for a reason! You and Alaric couldn't be trusted with it, as the repeatedly broken windows and fences proved. Where the hell is Jenna? Isn't she suppose to stop you guys from this sort of thing?'

'I'm here!' Jenna called coming in from the kitchen holding a class of what looked like hot chocolate. 'I would have stopped them Elena but, well John's an ass' Jenna spoke whilst trying to hide her joy. The silence that followed was tangible.

'Elena? Are you mad?' Alaric piped up looking rather timid. I sighed and resigned myself to situation. 'Well…Reload I guess?' I said a small grin forming on my face. The shocked faces filled the room whilst John struggled to find words to get him out of this situation. 'Are you serious?' Caroline couldn't seem to believe that I had agreed. 'Yes im serious. Lets just say this is for Glen.' Everyone in the house soon had a grin plastered on their faces. All except John of course, who appeared to have accepted his fate and sat back, his eyes glazed.

I walked to the corner of the room with Damon holding me close. I watched as Jeremy loaded up the Launcher and walked to relieve Caroline of her restraining duties. We all knew that the Launcher could do no real damage, a loud noise and sure it would hurt a fair amount but John didn't know that and that added to the joy in the room. I sighed and leaned into Damon. Children. They are so easily Entertained. Damon leaned down to whisper 'I'll get us some hot chocolate' before kissing me quickly and leaving for the kitchen as Caroline walked up to stand beside me and watch the rounds of potato launched at John. I had to admit. It was fun.

I sighed and smiled at my Family around me and leaned against the wall, content. Caroline stood next to me and mimicked my stance and the joy on my face as she too watched on. She looked round and spoke 'You ok buddy? You know I worry' She smiled and all the time we didn't look at each other, Just watched with smiles at the fun. 'Yeah, I'm fine Care. I just felt a little overwhelmed. It will be Okay.' I sighed.

'Of course it will be ok. You have us.' She smiled and looked at me. 'Elena…You got some didn't you? Your glowing.' She smirked a little. I smiled but never looking at her. She took the hint and mumbled 'wow'. I reached my hand to the side and squeezed her hand before launching across the room into Damon's arms. I kissed him as he balance the mugs on the nearest table. Hearing the laughter in the room and the talking, Having Damon hold me. I felt happy. Loved.

AN.
