One month later.
Damon was making breakfast when Elena came into the kitchen.
“Morning” she mumbled. Ever since Rebekah had forced her to drink blood she had been very distant towards Damon. This was his fault. If he hadn’t been so damn stubborn she wouldn’t have had to go help Stefan and she wouldn’t have been in that position. What if Rebekah had killed her? Then Elena would be a vampire now, all because of Damon’s brother issues.
“So, eh, what are your plans today?” Damon asked, trying to be casual. He knew he had a lot to make up for.
Elena shrugged. “Going to school, obviously. Hanging out at the Grill”
Damon nodded. “Yeah, of course” he said.
“Maybe you should make an appointment with Bonnie’s shrink” Elena said snarky. “At least she admits she needs help. You, on the other hand, you blame everyone around you, because it’s easier that way. But that’s not going to make the problem go away”
“I know” Damon said soft and remorseful. “But I’m really trying, Elena”
She finally looked at him. “Not hard enough”
And without having eaten anything she took her schoolbag and left the Boarding House.

From Shadow Souls. Enjoy.
Like two flames that join and merge into one.
Headstrong, each wanting their own way, passionate, impatient... She and Damon were alike.
To all appearances, he was perfectly in control, icy and precise, distant and disinterested. The truth was that he was going out of his mind. - Damon, thinking about being around Elena
I don't belong anywhere, Damon pointed out, suddenly sounding sad. You know I'll always be with you.
Go to bed. Go to hell. Go anywhere, but stay away from me. - Damon's feelings for Elena are overwhelming
Damon whirled, caught her precisely, held her locked in an unbreakable grip. Then, with a swoop of his head like a falcon on a mouse, he kissed her.
As soon as their minds connected there were something like fireworks. Explosions. Rockets. Stars going nova. - The kiss!
Was that what you've been thinking about while you've been refusing to talk to me? - Elena asking Damon about the kiss
