Damon and Elena stood in the living room of the boarding house, having a fight.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDe1e6v53G
"There's nothing in this world that consecrates all the reasons that I am wrong for you. I am bad. I am bad for you, Elena. I don't know why you wouldn't run away from me as humanly possible."895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT5u7n7a2D

It was a beautiful day in the boarding house. Summer was over, so she was going off to college to Whitmore. He didn't understand why since he had never liked school; even as a human. She was happy though, which made him happy for her. They were so happy that they began to make out. At one point, they ended up on the couch, as they did so.

It was a dark night, as Damon and Elena stood in the living room at the boarding house in front of the fireplace.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxjsGE4wvm
"I'm not apologizing, because I am not sorry! I am not sorry that I would rather die than be human! I am not sorry that I would rather die right now than to spend the rest of my life with you, until I'm old and wrinkly and you're still you! I am not sorry, Elena!" he yelled.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkPhFUk6Vg
"Then I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question everything! And I am not sorry that I am in love with you! I love you, Damon," she replied.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUw8qU4V7t
They were silent, as they looked at each other.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLdwrxNFmJ
A moment later, they kissed.

Damon lay in bed, barely awake, dying, Elena beside him, keeping him company and listening to everything he had to say. Knowing he was close to death and that he loved her, she kissed him once on the lips and then pulled away.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLkIQbPcg
"Thank...you," he whispered.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6I7v7YzdA

It was a dark night as Elena tried to get the door open. The car was on fire and the door wasn't budging for her. She coughed, as smoke filled her lungs. And just as she thought she wouldn't make it, Damon was outside the door and forced it open, saving her life, yet again.

Damon was on his knees in pain as the male vampire stood over him, who had drenched Damon in gasoline and stood with a lit match, ready to end Damon by setting him on fire.895Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIaOAglX5E
