Elena: No, definitely not.
Later 당신 see Elena with Stefan who’s back in the Salvatore House)

Elena: Can we go to the Mystic Grill? I’m… starving.

Stefan: Elena, we have 음식 here. Don’t let him bully 당신 into leaving. 당신 can stay as long as you’d like. Don’t Worry. (Stefan turns to Damon) Do 당신 really have to do this now, Damon?

Damon: Don’t worry, brother. I’m leaving. I don’t think I’m up for your melodramatic couple drama today.

Elena: Wait, Damon. Don’t go.

Damon: Excuse me?

Stefan: Okay Elena but…

Elena: I really have to go… (Kisses Stefan on the cheek) I’ll call you. I promise.

(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 베개 when suddenly, Damon enters)

Elena: Damon…

Damon: Elena.

Elena: What are 당신 doing here?

Damon: I wanted to make sure 당신 were alright.

Elena: I’m fine. Now can 당신 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. 당신 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 다음 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 당신 mean what 당신 said?

Elena: About what?

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

Elena: I most definitely do not want that.

Damon: But why not?

Elena: What do 당신 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 당신 please stop that?

Damon: Stop what?

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

Damon: DO what Elena?

Elena: I won’t admit that I 사랑 you. I can’t.

Damon: Well I can’t stay. I won’t.

Elena: Well I don’t want 당신 to go.’

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

Elena: DO WHAT?

Damon: 키스 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 당신 do that for me Elena? Can 당신 just feel?

Elena: I cant.. not with 당신 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 당신 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 said about the kiss.

Damon: The 키스 didn’t count.

Elena: Why not?

Damon: The 키스 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 침대 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: 당신 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 당신 were.
Damon: But 뱀파이어 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 said 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 said that she said she'll go on a killing spree if she doesn't see me in the 다음 hour. (Damon falls back a little, and grabs the 책상, 데스크 for support)
Elena: Well, we'll go together.
Damon: What will we tell Stefan?
Elena: We'll tell Stefan that 당신 went right to me when 당신 got the text. 당신 wanted me to be the first to know. 당신 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.
