The Tragic Love Story of Elijah and Elena

Chapter Six

Two weeks. That's how long it's been since he left. And since then, I've been throwing myself into my diary. I didn't realize it till now, but I miss writing in it. I forgot how much it helps to get my frustrations out.

Damon wants to talk. I told him okay, but if he loses it then that's it. I'm leaving. I'm supposed to go over there in thirty minutes, so I'm just wasting time writing in my diary.

I haven't talked to Caroline, but I think I should go and apologize, and finally tell her she was right. I'm just so tired of lying. It's exhausting.

I suddenly hear my phone go off. I walk over to it and see Damon calling me. I sigh and pick it up. "Hello?" I say into the phone. "Hey Elena, can you come over now?" Damon asks into the phone. I sigh and nod. "Sure. I'll be over soon." And I hang up.

I grab my keys and head downstairs, and out the door. I get in my car and drive off. Why does he want me to come over now? Whatever.

I get to their house and knock on the door. It open and I see Stefan standing there. "He's in his room." He sighs and steps aside. I nod and walk in. "How are you?" I ask him and cross my arms.

He shrugs and sighs loudly. "Uh... nothing really. Just the same old same old." He smile a bit and walks into the living room. I shrug it off and walk up the stairs, to his room.

"Damon?" I ask as I open his door. He stands by the window, his back facing me. "Hey." I say and close the door.

"Elena, look." He sighs and turns to me, walking to me. "I'm sorry about getting mad. I shouldn't have acted like that. You were right, you didn't need to tell me. I forgot that you have your humanity off." He explains and uses his hands as gestures the whole time.

"Its fine, Damon, really. Is that all you wanted me to come over for?" I ask and glance around. "Will you take me back?" he asks and smirks. I step back and uncross my arms. "No Damon. It didn't end well last time." I say carefully.

"That's because Elijah got in the way, but now he's gone." He smirks and steps forward.

"No Damon. My humanity is off and if you forgot it was off the first time then you're gonna forget a second time." I watch his face turn mad. "You're taking me back Elena." He says sternly with an intense look in his eyes.

I scoff and shale my head, "Uh no I'm not Damon. It's over." I say sternly. He grabs my arm tightly and squeezes it. "Yes, you are." He says more forcefully. I try to shake him off but he doesn't budge.

"Let me go Damon. Now. I mean it." I grit and try pulling away. "No. I refuse to let you go again." He says strongly and pulls me to him. "Let. Me. Go." I grit. "No." he says quietly.

Suddenly he's pushed against the wall by Stefan. "Get off of me brother." Damon scoffs and tries to push him back. "Even now it seems I still have to protect Elena from you. Human or vampire. Together or not. Back off Damon."

Damon pushes him off of him and throws Stefan into the wall. "I told you to get off of me, little brother." Damon smirks. He vamps over to him and leans over him. Stefan gets right back up and turns over so Damon is slammed into the desk. "And I told you to back off. Moe than once." Stefan grits picks him up, punching him and throwing him into the wall, pinning him. "Elena leave." He says smoothly.

I stand still, unable to move. "I said leave!" he says louder. I vamp out of there and drive away. That was weird. It was like the love triangle all over again.

I dive home and walk inside. I need a nap.

XX (Bonnie's POV)

"Caroline just listen." I say for the hundredth time. "No, Bonnie. Elena hurt me. I don't care if she has her humanity off, she shouldn't have said that." She says quiet loudly. "I know, but we're all best friends. We have been for so long. We can't lose it now." I whisper and sigh.

"She has to apologize to me. I'm not confronting her first. I won't." she argues. "Okay fine. But you will talk to her?" I ask. "Only if she confronts me first." She's so stubborn.

XX (Back to Elena's POV)

Hours later, I wake up to my phone buzzing. I pick it up, not bothering to look at the I.D.

"Hello?" I say into the phone. "Elena its Bonnie. I need you to go to Caroline and apologize. Please." Oh it's Bonnie. I sigh into the phone and nod. "Okay fine." I sigh and she thanks me before hanging up.

I get changed and drive over to Caroline's. I knock on the door once I get there. She opens the door and groans. "Bonnie sent you didn't she?" she asks and I sigh, nodding. "Yes. But, what I'm about to say is genuine. Okay?" I say and she nods, letting me in.

I sit on the couch and take a deep breath. "I really am sorry Caroline. And I'm not just saying this because Bonnie told me to, I've been thinking about doing this. I miss you Care. You were right. My humanity is on and Elijah turned it on." I whisper and bow my head in defeat.

She walks over and sits on the chair. "Elena you didn't have to cover it up from me. And you weren't fooling me when you acted like you were joking. That's why it hurt when you said I wasn't a friend." She looks down and picks at her nails.

"I know care, and I'm so sorry. I was just so scared of our friends finding out." I choke out and wipe my eyes. She stands up and walks over to me, sitting down and she starts rubbing my back. I hug her softly and sigh.

"Elijah's gone. He went back to New Orleans. He left me a note." I whisper and pull back. "You should go to him." She says softly. "What? Um, no way. No." I shake my head and stand up.

"I'm serious! You should go to him. Think about it Elena, these past few months you have been in pain, missing him. He came when I called him. He could've said no and went back to his life. But he dropped what he was doing and came here." Good point. Really good point.

"That's a good point, but I don't know Caroline. He's got a life. And he's probably either content with it or fighting with Klaus. I don't want to intrude." I sigh and turn to her. "Plus, how am I going to get out of here without suspicion from Stefan and Damon?"

I start to think it over and sigh. Don't go. You're fine. You don't need him. Go back to Damon. "I can't Care. I have a life here too. Just forget about it." I sigh and walk out, driving home.

As soon as I get home I scurry up to my room and start writing in my diary. Should I go? Care's right. I should go and tell him how I feel. For once in my life I should do something for me.

After that night I pack my big duffel bag and throw on black jeans, a black hoodie, and black converse. I tie my hair up in a ponytail and grab my phone. As I head down the stairs and out the door, I get in my car.

"Road trip!" I hear from the back and I jump. "Caroline?" I ask, totally stunned. "Duh. I knew you'd change your mind. And you're not going alone." She says as he climbs to the front. She's also dressed in black and has a duffel bag with her.

"Why are you coming? I ask and sigh as I start the car. "To help you Elena. And so I can see Klaus." She says quickly, putting on her seat belt. "You want to see Klaus?" I raise an eyebrow in surprise, pulling out of my driveway and driving down the street.

"Maybe." She says and gets out a blood bag. "Want one?" she asks. Oh shoot. I forgot to pack them. "Sure. I forgot to pack them." I sigh and take the offered one.

"I also brought snacks and music. My aux chord is in here somewhere." I sigh and glance over. "You really did know I was gonna change my mind, huh?" I nod in satisfaction. "Well thanks, Care."

"No problem. Alright lets rock. Let's go get you your man!" she smiles and giggles. "I can't believe I'm doing this." I mumble and turn onto the highway.

I just wanted to leave this little note here: I'm really glad I'm getting good feedback so far. These next few chapters are (Hopefully) going to be really good, so they will take a little longer. I hope this chapter makes up for the last one!
