Elena POV

I rolled over. How long had i been asleep for? It was dark outside. I grabbed my phone. 10 missed calls from Caroline, And one text.

WHERE ARE YOU! WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET FOR BREAKFAST AT THE GRILL HOURS AGO! CALL ME BACK!!

"Shoot." I scolded myself. It was 6 pm. I slept the entire day. I got up and remembered that i had been in Damon's bed. For a few minuets. Just a few. I had forgotten all about the loneliness that plagued my life. I dialed Caroline's number to explain. After only two rings she answered.

"What the hell Elena? Where are you and why haven't you been answering my calls.?"

" I'm Sorry Caroline, I fell asleep and slept the entire day. I just woke up."

"But I went by your house and you weren't there. Alaric said you left."

"I know. I was at," i hesitated before saying the next word. " I was at the Salvatore's" The line went silent. After a few seconds, a soft "oh" escaped caroline.

"Well we can just meet for dinner then." Caroline said , breaking the tension.

" Sure. Sound fun. Meet you at the grill in an hour?"

"See you then." she replied, and I heard the click of her hanging up.

I sat my phone down and walked to Damon's bathroom. I took one look at myself in the mirror and was horrified. My hair was tangled and I had tear stains going down my face. I wasn't even going to mention the drool. I needed a shower and a change of clothes. Luckily, I always kept some things at Damon's for when i stayed over. I hopped into his shower. The hot water was soothing. I got out, put on a fresh pot of clothes and headed for the door. As I opened it, i saw a familiar face. He smiled at me.

"Hello Elena"

" Elijah," I gasped.
