Elena: Damon…
Damon: Elena.
Elena: What are wewe doing here?
Damon: I wanted to make sure wewe were alright.
Elena: I’m fine. Now can wewe 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. wewe 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 inayofuata 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 wewe mean what wewe said?
Elena: About what?
Damon: About me, not leaving. I mean, I’m yours. If wewe want me to leave… so wewe can be with… well, I won’t object.
Elena: I most definitely do not want that.
Damon: But why not?
Elena: What do wewe 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 wewe please stop that?
Damon: Stop what?
Elena: It’s like you’re fishing for me to say it… to tell wewe my choice. To tell wewe to leave au stay. To admit a upendo I wouldn’t care to admit. I won’t do it Damon.
Damon: DO what Elena?
Elena: I won’t admit that I upendo you. I can’t.
Damon: Well I can’t stay. I won’t.
Elena: Well I don’t want wewe to go.’
Damon: Well if wewe can’t admit your love, admit this: wewe 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 wewe do that for me Elena? Can wewe just feel?
Elena: I cant.. not with wewe 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 wewe 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 alisema 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 kitanda 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: wewe 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 wewe were.
Damon: But Wanyonya damu 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 alisema 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 alisema that she alisema she'll go on a killing spree if she doesn't see me in the inayofuata hour. (Damon falls back a little, and grabs the dawati for support)
Elena: Well, we'll go together.
Damon: What will we tell Stefan?
Elena: We'll tell Stefan that wewe went right to me when wewe got the text. wewe wanted me to be the first to know. wewe 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.
Damon: Right.
Elena: Because why?
Damon: Because wewe upendo Stefan?
