Elena's POV

"Damon!" I yelled. Damon and I are best friends. But ever since Damon started going out with Katherine he was always in the middle of his daydreams. He always kept zoning out and sometimes he didn't even listen to me.

And that isn't all, I'm in love with him. But he doesn't love me.

"Oh, yeah, what were you saying?" He said. He finally snapped out of his day dream. I sighed quietly.

"I was saying that you don't have nothing to worry about. Katherine loves you." I said. I was surprised at how strong my voice sounded.

"Yeah, I hope so." He said. Ever since they started going out, Katherine is the only person that Damon talks about. Katherine this, Katherine, that.. I sighed loudly this time, and this got Damon's attention.

"You okay, Lena?" He asked.

"How nice that you finally noticed." I grumbled. I quickly put a hand over my mouth when I realized what I just said.

"Umm, what are you talking about?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing." I said. Chuckling nervously. Damon didn't suspect anything so he brushed it off.

"So when do you think, I should ask her out again?" He asked me.

"I don't know, whenever you want." I said. Damon was looking for a shirt to wear. He kept looking at the mirror. Sometimes I just want to jump up to him and tell him that he shouldn't worry about anything because he's already beautiful.

But I can't.

"Are you guys going out today or something?" I asked out of curiosity.

"No, why?" He said.

"I don't know, i mean, you keep on looking at the mirror." I said.

"Oh." He said laughing. I love it when he laughs. It's really rare for him to laugh, so when he does laugh, it sends butterflies to my stomach and it also makes me smile.

I looked at the clock and noticed that it was getting late.

"Damon, I should get home, my dad's going to worry about me." I said getting up and gathering my stuff.

"Do you want me to walk you home?" He asked while getting up.

"No, it's okay." I said quickly.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then." He said.

"Yeah," I said quietly. When I finally got downstairs I saw Stefan and Mrs. Salvatore.

"Hello, Elena honey." She greeted.

"Hey, Mrs. Salvatore." I said as I gave her a small hug.

"Hey, Lena." Stefan said as he stared at me. I always found it awkward when he did that.

"Hey, Steffi." I said. He rolled his eyes. He hates it when I call him that. I hugged him quickly and started making my way towards the door.

"Do you wanna stay over for dinner?" Mrs. Salvatore asked.

"No, I have to get home. But thank you." I said. She smiled at me and went back doing what she was working on.

Stefan was still staring at me. I smiled at him and made my way towards the door. When I got to the living room, I saw Damon and Katherine sitting on the couch talking.

WHEN DID SHE GET HERE?

Ugh, whatever. Not wanting to cause drama, I quietly sneaked up to their front door and made my way out without making a noise.

That was close. I don't know why, but Katherine always hated me. Damon and I have been friends ever since kindergarten. Our parents were best friends too.

It was chilly outside so I hugged myself while walking home. When I got home, it was dark. Jeremy was probably out and my parents were probably shopping. I sighed and went upstairs.

I looked at my clock and saw that it was only 9:00 . It was late, but it wasn't too late. I sat down on my bed and saw my book that I got from the library. 'exit here' was the books name.

'I love books. I like that the moment you open one and sink into it you can escape from the world, into a story that's way more interesting then yours will ever be.' (A/N: This part is from Tumblr, you guise. I don't know who wrote this but, this is from tumblr.)

I fell asleep with my book in my hand.

Damon's POV

After Katherine left I went up to my room and found my brother waiting for me.

"What?" I asked. He stood up and walked towards me.

"Are you dating Elena?" He asked.

"What? No. We're like best friends." I said. For some reason, that didn't seem right. What if we were a couple? No, I can't think like that, Elena would be disgusted. Plus, I have Katherine.

"Good, because I wanna ask her out." He said. I growled all of a sudden. Even though we were best friends, the thought of someone else stealing Elena, I mean dating Elena sends shivers up my spine.

"Oh." Was the only thing that came out of my mouth.

"Look, I'm pretty tired, can we talk about this Tomorrow?" I asked through clenched teeth. I want him to leave before I cause a scene.

"Okay." He said. He left my room silently. When he was out of my room, I took off everything and went to bed wearing my boxers.

For some reason, instead of dreaming about Katherine that night, Elena was being replayed in my mind.

Ever since I started dating Katherine, we seemed to get distant. And if she starts to date Stefan, I'm afraid that I may lose her.

I hope she doesn't forget about me.
