(On the way, Elena risks a small glance at Damon. Damon has a confused look on his face and she quickly looks away when she makes eye contact)

Elena: *whispers* Good bye Damon

(Later, Elena is the covers of her bed, sitting up with her back against the oreiller when suddenly, Damon enters)

Elena: Damon…

Damon: Elena.

Elena: What are toi doing here?

Damon: I wanted to make sure toi were alright.

Elena: I’m fine. Now can toi please leave? Someone might hear you.

(Damon pauses, and intently listens to what appears to be nothing)

Damon: Aunt Jenna and Jeremy are both asleep. It’s just us.

Elena: Doesn’t matter. toi still have to leave.

Damon: Why?

Elena: Because I don’t want you… because I need to think.

Damon: About what, darling?

(Elena gets out of the covers to stand suivant to Damon, eye to eye)

Elena: About you, Stefan, about the kiss, about… everything.

Damon: (smirking) Everything?

Elena: Yes, Damon, everything.

Damon: But.. uh.. did toi mean what toi said?

Elena: About what?

Damon: About me, not leaving. I mean, I’m yours. If toi want me to leave… so toi can be with… well, I won’t object.

Elena: I most definitely do not want that.

Damon: But why not?

Elena: What do toi mean?

Damon: I mean won’t it be so much easier if I left? I’d be making the choice for you… if there even is a choice in the first place…

Elena: Can toi please stop that?

Damon: Stop what?

Elena: It’s like you’re fishing for me to say it… to tell toi my choice. To tell toi to leave ou stay. To admit a l’amour I wouldn’t care to admit. I won’t do it Damon.

Damon: DO what Elena?

Elena: I won’t admit that I l’amour you. I can’t.

Damon: Well I can’t stay. I won’t.

Elena: Well I don’t want toi to go.’

Damon: Well if toi can’t admit your love, admit this: toi want to do it again.

Elena: DO WHAT?

Damon: Kiss me of course.

Elena: No.

(Damon slowly keeps walking towards her and she walks backwards until her back is against the wall)

Elena: We can’t keep doing this… Stefan is… He’s my… I..

Damon: Just stop lying to yourself Elena, for one second. Just feel. Can toi do that for me Elena? Can toi just feel?

Elena: I cant.. not with toi Damon.

Damon: Why not precious? Tell me why. (Damon strokes her cheek while she shivers)

Elena: Because if I just feel, I’m afraid of what I’ll do.

Damon: I am too. But don’t we owe it to each other? Don’t toi think?

Elena: Owe what?

Damon: To feel. Just this once. We owe it to each other to feel something. TO be satisfied once… just once.

Elena: But that’s what we a dit about the kiss.

Damon: The Kiss didn’t count.

Elena: Why not?

Damon: The Kiss was just the beginning. This can be the end can’t it? We deserve an ending, don’t we?
Elena: Yes, we do.
Damon: That's why we need this right?
Elena: Right.
(Elena goes into her lit again, leaving a spot there for Damon)
(Damon goes in and Elena curls on his chest, sighing)
Elena: Is this enough for now?
Damon: Yes. Anything would be. (Damon kisses her forehead)
Damon: toi have to stop doing this to me... (Elena turns around to look him in the eye)
Elena: What??
Damon: Making me human... I'm not. I never was.
Elena: Damon.. of course toi were.
Damon: But vampires aren' t supposed to want to be human. We have that switch for a reason, Elena. It's the only way we can deal with what we are.
Elena: You're beautiful...
Damon: No, we're not. I have to go. (Damon gets up to leave but Elena grabs his hand)
Elena: Stay...
(Damon looks like he's about to say something but gets text and checks what it is)
Elena: Who is it?
Damon: It's Stefan...
Elena: What'd he say?
Damon: He a dit he's with Katherine... She wants to speak with me he said.
Elena: KATHERINE? THE Katherine?
Damon: Yeah. THE Katherine.
Elena: Well, don't go.
Damon: He a dit that she a dit she'll go on a killing spree if she doesn't see me in the suivant hour. (Damon falls back a little, and grabs the bureau for support)
Elena: Well, we'll go together.
Damon: What will we tell Stefan?
Elena: We'll tell Stefan that toi went right to me when toi got the text. toi wanted me to be the first to know. toi wanted me to know so that I'd be properly protected. Then... when I insisted on going alone, instead of you, we compromised that we'd go together.
Damon: That's quite a story...
Elena: I know (Elena grabs his arm) Let's go.
