Keep The Truth Out!

Three: Could There be a happy ending?

Damon clears his throat, and Elena smiles, "Can I come in?" She asks.

"Yeah, sure," Damon says; opening the door wide, she walks in and puts the bag on the bed.

She turns and looks at him, " Tell me, Damon. " She says, then crossing her arms. He nods, and they both sit on the bed.

Damon knew this confession would change everything, "It was after my mom's funeral."

After his mom Lilly's funeral, Damon walks into the house at twelve. 

Damon couldn't believe she was gone, and he loved his mom so much that she was the closest person in his life.

Damon walks into his house and sees Giuseppe drinking, and he sees the bottle is almost gone.

He walks into the living room and goes by his dad, who is concerned about him, "Dad, are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

Then Guseppe's eyes are like ice, he's angry, and he's glaring at him. He grabs the bottle and smashes it against the wall, and Damon finches.

Giuseppe walks up to him, but he gets closer and throws him against the wall, and Damon falls to the ground. Giuseppe walks up to him and starts kicking his stomach.

Damon groans, "Stop it, Dad!" Damon yells, and then he starts punching Damon. There is blood coming from his nose and mouth.

Giuseppe kneels and goes right at Damon's face, " I'm over being the nice father. Now I will be your worst nightmare, and you deserve everything you get until you die." He smirks, and then he walks out of the house.

After that night, Giuseppe kept abusing Damon because he wished Damon was never born, and he made him feel like no one wanted him, and his life had been a nightmare. Giuseppe made sure of that.

Damon looks at Elena, and he sees that she's in shock. She couldn't believe this was happening to her best friend and knew she didn't know.

Elena touches his arm, and he flinches, and she looks at him, "Take off your shirt." She says

Damon smirks, "You want a show?" He asks, wiggling his eyebrows.

Elena hides her smile, " Take off your shirt. "

Damon huffs and rolls his eyes, "Fine. " He says while taking off his black V-neck.

Damon turns towards Elena. Elena gasped because she saw all his bruises, scars, and scratches. You could tell he had cut himself.

Damon looks down, Elena runs a hand all over his scars, and he looks at her.
" Damon, why didn't you tell me? " She asks.

" I didn't tell you because I didn't want him to hurt you, and I was afraid about telling you. I kept pushing you; I never want to lose you." He says, putting his hand on her face.

Elena smiles at him, " You won't lose me, Damon; we're best friends. " She hugs him tightly, and he hugs her back.

Damon knows she is correct, but he wishes they were more. 

Damon and Elena pull away from the hug and look into each other's eyes.

Damon starts to lean in, and they hear a creek from the hallway. They see Stefan opening the door.

Damon and Elena stand there awkwardly, " Yes, Stefan?" Damon asks, and Elena looks at Damon. 

Damon looks away, " I was just telling you that I'm spending the night at Matt's.' Stefan says, and Damon nods his head.

Stefan went to Matt's house and wished Damon would tell Elena he was in love with her.

It's been seventeen years. When will Damon admit it when she dates Someone new?

Damon and Elena are lying in his bed, watching him say anything, they haven't talked since they almost kiss, but they keep looking at each other.

When Damon or Elena would catch other, they would look away. It's seven o'clock now, and Damon and Elena haven't talked since four o'clock.
Damon wants to know how Elena feels about him, but he's afraid to open up, and Elena doesn't want to ask him because she doesn't want to destroy their friendship.

Damon sighs, " Elena, are you okay? " He asks. 

Damon looks at Elena, and she smiles at him, " Yes, Damon is there anything you want to tell me?" She asks and waits to see if Damon has feelings for her.

" No, I'm glad I have my best friend." He says, and she hugs him, and he hugs her back.

Damon and Elena are both sad about them not telling the truth. They pull away from the hug, and Elena looks at him and smiles.

She sighs deeply " I should go. "She says as she gets off the bed.

"Okay, I'll walk you out." He says. She grabs her bag, and they go downstairs.

When they got to the front door, Damon held the door open, and she smiled.

"See you tomorrow when you pick me up in the morning?" She asks.

Damon looks at her, " Definitely," He says.

Elena walks out the door and sighs, wishing he had told her how he felt.
Damon runs outside and sees her car is gone. He grabs his car keys and goes to Elena's house.

When Elena gets home, she walks into the house and sees her mom, Miranda, her dad, Grayson, and her brother, Jeremy.

Miranda looked up and saw Elena, " Hey, how was Damon?" She asks, then tears start coming out of her eyes.

Miranda walks up to her and hugs her while she's sobbing, " Shh, it's okay, baby." She says, but she keeps crying.

Miranda and Elena hear an unexpected knock at the door.

Miranda pulls away from Elena. Miranda answers the door and sees Jake, Elena's ex-boyfriend.

Elena  is  surprised to see
him because they thought he had moved, but now he's back.

 
Jake sighs deeply " Can I come in?" He asks.

Elena nods as she opens the door wide open.

"Sure."  He walks in and smiles, and walks up to Elena. 

Elena is nervous because she broke up with him. After all, she starts getting close to Damon.

He grabs Elena's hand, "Elena, I still love and want to be with you. Will you give me another chance? " He looks deep into her eyes.

Elena felt like the world stopped When Damon walked into the room.

Elena looks up and sees Damon, and Elena realizes she has to choose between her best friend and her past.

" Jake, can I think about it?" She asks, and he nods and leaves.

Damon walks up to Elena, " Elena, I just wanted to tell you that I love you more than a friend, and I always will." He says.

Damon walks out of the house, leaving Elena speechless, and runs after him.

Elena walks out of the house, and it starts raining. Elena sees Damon towards his car.
And she yells, " Damon!!!"

Damon turns around and looks and sees her standing in the driveway.

Damon approaches her," Elena, I just wanted to tell you how I felt, and  I know you aren't over, Jake."

She gives him a dumb look. 

Damon looks confused, " Damon, we have been best friends for seventeen years. We've had our ups and downs. How can you not know when I feel something more than a friendship? Because I do. I'm in love with you, Damon Salvatore. " She finally confesses, and she feels the truth is finally out.

Damon smiles, grabs her face, and kisses her deeply; it depends on it. When they started kissing, it started pouring, and they pulled away and looked into each other eyes, and they kept kissing. They loved this moment, and it was their favorite.

Here's my new rewrite!
