"Elena, I think you're all done!" Jenna squealed. In Jenna's honor, I let her do my hair and make up. It was the least I could do for her, since she's been feeling negative about herself because she doesn't think she's a good guardian. "Thank you so much, Aunt Jenna." I smiled, and hugged her. "You're the best aunt ever!" I laughed, looking at myself in my mirror that was on my dresser. "Well, anything for the best niece in the world." She smiled, and hugged me tightly. I heard a knocking on my front door, and the butterflies came swarming into my stomach. I walked downstairs and noticed tree people standing by my front door, obviously waiting for me. "Elena," Caroline's mouth dropped as she saw me coming downstairs. "You're gorgeous, who did this? A personal specialist?!" Caroline finished as she walked over to me. "Um, if you want to call Jenna that, then yes." I laughed, then noticed that he was right beside me, Damon Salvatore. I looked over to Damon and smiled. "You look beautifully brilliant." Damon whispered into my ear, giving me shivers down my spine. "Why thank you, Mr. Salvatore. You don't look bad yourself." I whispered back to him, blushing. "So, shall we?" Damon smiled at me. "We shall." I giggled, my cute giggle. We walked out of the house and to Damons Chevrolet. "And I thought chivalry was dead." I joked as Damon opened the passenger door for me. "Not when you're with me." Damon laughed. We started driving to the school, since we moved from the old 'Gilbert' house, it's hard to get to the school faster. I moved a little far away from school, kind of close to the Salvatore Boarding School. Which is a good thing sometimes because whenever I was in trouble I'd have Damon.  

 I turned to look at Damon. His face was focused onto the road ahead, and he had both hands on the steering-wheel. I kind of just wanted to grab one of his hands, and just hold it on the way there. I needed him right beside me. I've never felt this way, about anyone. Not even Stefan, and I loved Stefan. Damon looked at me with such desire. I looked away, blushing for some odd reason, and started thinking about who's all going to the dance. I didn't want to see Stefan there, because this past week, whenever someone who talk about him, say his name, or when I see him, my stomach twists and I feel like puking. I still couldn't believe what Stefan did to his father. And I've talked to him about it, and he doesn't answer or talk to me. So I haven't talked to him since and I'm glad I haven't. We arrived at the school and I could hear the music that was roaring from inside of it. All of a sudden my door opened and it was Damon. "I guess you're right, Damon." I smiled at him. He looked at me with confusion written all over his face, until he finally figured out what I was talking about. "I told you, Elena. Chivalry is never going to be dead when you're around me. My parents raised me better than all of the other boys in this ungrateful world." He smiled back, then it faded once he saw someone. I followed his gaze and saw who he was now frowning at. It was Stefan, the devil himself. He was making out with Bonnie and that made me want to puke my eye balls out. I started gagging and Damon, I guess, couldn't hold in his laughter. I started laughing too, uncontrollably. We passed by Bonnie and Stefan and I gagged right by them ad walked into the school. "You know, you're becoming like me every second of every day." He smirked his famous smirk that always melted my heart every time I saw it. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I smirked, which broke out a laugh. "There it is again. I'm rubbing off on you Elena, and you know it for a fact." He laughed. He then grabbed my hand and our fingers intertwined with each other. I looked down at our hands and smiled, he did the same and smiled back at me. We walked into the gym that was colorful and bright. As I took in my surroundings, I heard Damon clear his throat. Soft music started playing and I knew what he was up to. But I stood there, like an idiot, waiting for him to ask. "Excuse me, Elena?" Damon asked. I faced him and tried to hide my nervousness. "Yes Damon?" I replied. He smiled and held out his hand. "Can I have this dance with you?" He smiled a genuine smile that also made my heart race. ''Of course." I smiled and took his hand.

  He lead me to the dance floor and we started dancing with the beat of the slow song. The song playing was All Of Me by John Legend. I loved this song to the fullest and I started whispering the words as John Legend's voice trailed through my ears and into my brain. This song reminded me of my mother. She would sing this song to me as a little girl when she was trying to make me go to sleep. She once recorded her voice singing to me, so if anything ever happens I'll have her voice with me. Ever since she died, along with my brilliant father, I played the recorded song to help me sleep. Believe it or not, but it actually did help me sleep. It gave me dreams about my mother and father, and that our whole entire family wasn't fucked up anymore. But then, as usual, reality sets in and my life is fucked up. I pushed the painful thoughts and memories of my parents away and noticed that fresh tears were streaming down my face. "This song brings so many painful and 'to die for' memories of my parents." I whispered and let a small smile slip acrossed my face. "This song brings me memories, too. This was the song my mother always sang to me and Stefan when we were sad or angry with each other." He also let a small smile slip onto his gorgeous face. "Wow, let's not make this a painful trip to memoryland night. Let's make it a 'to die for' memory night." I smiled, but it faded as I was Stefan walk in. Stefan walked up to me and Damon and frowned. "Wow Elena, moving on with my brother? That's the least I would ever expect from you." Stefan glared at me and his older brother, Damon. "Back off, baby bro. Don't want to start another fight that you won't finish. And that's a promise," Damon death glared Stefan down. "What? You're just going to stand there and death glare me to death?" What was Stefan's problem? Ever since I ended things with him, he's been a total dick! "Stefan I think it's best if you leave, and if you stay, which you'd be really stupid to do so, go stay with Bonnie. We don't need your dick head of an ass disturbing our night. Good bye, Stefan." I tried so hard not to yell. He just stood there, shocked. His mouth flew opened then all of a sudden I was pinned against the wall.
