Damon: Because you pag-ibig Stefan?
Elena: Yeah I um.. i pag-ibig him. Right. I should probably go...
Damon: Wait we still haven't.... should I be leaving?
(Elena sagot while shuffling out the door)
Elena: No, definitely not.
Later you see Elena with Stefan who’s back in the Salvatore House)

Damon: Look’s like the famous couple’s back... in my house…. great.

(Elena, embarrassed with memories flooding back to her of earlier that day, turns away)

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

Stefan: Elena, we have pagkain here. Don’t let him bully you into leaving. You can stay as long as you’d like. Don’t Worry. (Stefan turns to Damon) Do you 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?

Elena: I mean that um, uh I uh need to talk to you, in private.

Stefan: Elena, what is this about? Why do you need me to leave?

Damon: Yeah, Elena. Anything you say to me can be sinabi in front of your DEAREST Stefan, right Elena?

Elena: I um have to go… Stefan, tomorrow please tell me what happened at Harvard. We never really got around to discussing it… I pag-ibig you.

Stefan: I pag-ibig you too. But you don’t really need to go. Surely you can stay here!

Elena: I’m sorry Stefan… um Aunt Jenna wanted to do some “family bonding activity” thing tonight and I totally spaced. I’ll call you later tonight kay?

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 unan when suddenly, Damon enters)

Elena: Damon…

Damon: Elena.

Elena: What are you doing here?

Damon: I wanted to make sure you were alright.

Elena: I’m fine. Now can you 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. You 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 susunod 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 you mean what you said?

Elena: About what?

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

Elena: I most definitely do not want that.

Damon: But why not?

Elena: What do you 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 you please stop that?

Damon: Stop what?

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

Damon: DO what Elena?

Elena: I won’t admit that I pag-ibig you. I can’t.

Damon: Well I can’t stay. I won’t.

Elena: Well I don’t want you to go.’

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

Elena: DO WHAT?

Damon: halik 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 you do that for me Elena? Can you just feel?

Elena: I cant.. not with you 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 you 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 sinabi about the kiss.

Damon: The halik didn’t count.

Elena: Why not?

Damon: The halik 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 kama 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: You 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 you were.
Damon: But Bampira 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 sinabi 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 sinabi that she sinabi she'll go on a killing spree if she doesn't see me in the susunod hour. (Damon falls back a little, and grabs the mesa for support)
Elena: Well, we'll go together.
Damon: What will we tell Stefan?
Elena: We'll tell Stefan that you went right to me when you got the text. You wanted me to be the first to know. You 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.
