he wasn’t sure why he felt guilty, but when he saw the look on your face that only briefly appeared when caroline told you about his night with rebecca mikaelson he wasn’t sure how to feel.

you told yourself you didn’t care. why would you? you have no business with who damon sleeps with. but there was still that part of you that used to adore everything he did- the part of you that died when he confessed his love for your sister, Elena, instead of you. but Elena chose Stefan…

now, you kept a wall up. when he’d stay at your house to make sure elena didn’t do anything stupid, you barely left your room, unlike how you used to want to be around and hang out with him. you stopped having late night conversations with him, stopped making sure he was okay after a bad fight, stopped hanging off his every word and you didn’t think he noticed- he was hopelessly in love with elena. but he did.
