Soul Connection (Damon and Elena)

Chapter 2

Memories of Damon and I replay in my head. The allure I always feel towards him, as he does for me. The complete wrongness of this entire situation, the only reason he and I aren't together is because of Marcos. It's infuriating.

I sit up on my bed and bury my hands in my face, then I run my hands through my hair and sigh.

I remember how much he and I have been through. How we bonded so fast, like we've known each other for centuries. How we became friends and then slowly without knowing fell for each other.

I'm in such deep thought that I almost don't hear my cell phone ringing. Almost.

I dig through my purse until I can find my phone. Once I do, I check the caller ID and gasp a little. It's Stefan. "Hi.." I frown and sigh.

Stefan is kind but he's not what I need at the moment. God, how I wish Markos didn't cast that spell. "Hey Elena. I heard about you and Damon." I can almost see his sympathetic expression. I slide off my bed and start walking aimlessly around the room as I talk to him.

"What about him?" I ask, pretending to be clueless.

"Well...for starters... you told him you didn't want to be with him anymore. Any particular reason why..?"

I know that I'm just being snappy, but this is none of Stefan's business. In the past I used to tell him about these things, but right now I just need silence to think things through. "Damon and I.." I start, but pause as I realize I have no idea to finish the sentence. "We're just..."

"In love?" Stefan finishes for me. My heart leaps.

"Yeah." I say, though it comes out sounding like a sigh.

"I can see the way you look at him. A way you've never looked at me or anyone else. He gets through to you in all ways unimaginable. If I said that it didn't hurt me, I'd be lying. But I can see that you both really care for each other in a way you and I never could. And if I said I wasn't happy for you two, I'd be lying. Whatever happened between you guys, I think you should give it another go. Because I can sense the deep feelings you have for one another, and whenever a love like that gives you a chance, you should always go for it."

I can barely see my surroundings through my watery eyes. Stefan basically confirmed all of my strong feelings for Damon-- even if they don't make sense. But that's the thing about love ; It's not supposed to make sense. And in the rare occasions when it does make sense, then it's not real love. My "love" with Stefan made sense. It wasn't real.

I want Damon here so badly. I want to stare up into his eyes and tell him I've never felt this way before. I want him to tell me everything about himself. I want to find out more about the intriguing and dark Damon. And most of all : I want him.

"I'll see what I can do." I whisper to Stefan through the phone.

"Whatever you do, do it well." He says.

And with that, our phone call is over.
