5.11.10

Elena: ‘I’m tired, Damon.’
Damon: ‘I brought you this.’
Elena: ‘I thought that was gone…thank you. Please give it back.’
Damon: ‘I just have to say something.’
Elena: ‘Why do you have to say it with my necklace?’
Damon: ‘Because what I’m about to say is…probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life.’
Elena: ‘Damon, don’t go there.’
Damon: ‘I just have to say it once, you just need to hear it. I love you, Elena. And it’s because I love you that…I can’t be selfish with you…why you can’t know this. I don’t deserve you, but my brother does. God, I wish you didn’t have to forget this…but you do.’
