"Shot through the heart , and you're to blame, darling. You give love a bad name"

Bon Jovi, You Give Love a Bad Name, blasted throughout the Salvatore Boarding House. In the lounge, Stefan lounged on the couch with Bourbon in hand, banging his head along to the beat. Behind, Lexi stood in the doorway dancing, a bottle of Bourbon in one hand. Amelia, stood on the coffee table slightly tipsy, dancing along to the music with a grin.

Damon walks in, and stands staring at them from the doorway for a moment, earning grins from Stefan when he spots him "Damon ! Help me celebrate my 17th High School gradation"

Rolling his eyes, Damon turns off the music, narrowing his eyes at his brother and Amelia. Drunkenly, Amelia trips as she tries to jump off the table, luckily falling into Damon's arms "Whoopsie" She giggles, patting Damon on the cheek "My hero"

Rolling his eyes, he places her on the couch beside Stefan "Hey, you remember my friend, Lexi, or course ?" Stefan then says, not bothered when Amelia rests her head in his lap, and takes the bottle of Bourbon from his hand.

"Lexi" Damon says, spotting the blonde stood behind the couch "Back from the dead. Goody"

Lexi speeds over, and grabs Damon by the throat, pinning him against the nearest wall "What's up, buzzkill ?"

Straining his neck slightly, Damon glances over at Stefan and Amelia for help "Guys, you're just gonna sit there and let her enact her ghostly revenge ?"

Stefan shrugs, not looking at all concerned "You reap what you sow, buddy"

"Meh" Amelia says, knocking back another drink of Bourbon.

Lexi, grabs Damon's chin, forcing him to look at her "Let's be very clear: whatever time I have left here, I sure as hell don't plan on wasting on you. You got me ?"

Damon nods, choking as he tries to speak "Yeah. Got ya"

Lexi glares, before releasing him from her grip, and going to sit on the arm of the couch. As soon as she sits down, Amelia rests her legs on the girl, who just chuckles and leaves her to it.

"So if you and Ric and Little Gilbert are all flesh like and real seeming, that means something went horribly wrong when Bonnie tried to put the veil up. And here you three are, having dance party USA" Damon states, crossing his arms over his chest, and looking at them all in disbelief.

"Uh oh, someone's grumpy" Amelia smirks.

Stefan bites back, before giving his brother a patronizing look "You're right. How selfish of me to be indulging in these precious moment with my formerly dead best friend. I should be sacrificing my own happiness for the good of others, right ? I should be upstairs grooming my hero hair"

Damon looks at him skeptically, also glancing at Amelia "Are you two drunk ?"

"Not enough" The Evans girl replies.

"I don't know, Mom, am I ?" Stefan fires back.

Lexi grabs the bottle from Amelia, laughing at the pairs antics, until Damon snatches the bottle from her harshly "Okay" She mutters, smiling slightly.

"Well, I guess that's one way to celebrate our Supernatural apocalypse" Damon shrugs, a 'If you can't beat them, join them' attitude in his voice, taking a swig from the bottle before continuing "Now, care to hazard any guesses on what the hell went wrong ?"

*******

After attempting to sober up, Amelia gets out of shower feeling fresh, before getting dressed and drying her hair. She slips on a Cream, long sleeved blouse, and a maroon skater skirt. She then laces up some Knee High white Converse, before pulling her hair into a messy side braid. Placing on some light makeup, she head back downstairs, planning not to drink anymore for a little while.

As she approaches the stairs, she stops outside of Damon's room, hearing the voices of him and Elena inside. Leaning back against the wall, she listens quietly.

"Hey" Elena smiles weakly, as Damon pulls a shirt over his head.

"Hey" He replies, giving her the same smile, ignoring the pain in his shoulder.

"So, I think there's some stuff you and I need to talk about" The Doppelganger admits, lightly folding her arms across her chest.

"Yes, we do. But first -" Damon agrees, then walks over to his dresser and pulls out a small box, then opens it to reveal the cure to Elena "Consider it a Graduation present"

Elena stares at it a long moment, before shaking her head sadly, and looking back up at the Salvatore Brother "Damon, I can't take that"

"Sure you can. Looks like it might be Cherry flavored"

Elena laughs lightly, but still shakes her head "I'm not saying I don't want it - obviously I want it. But... that's the only one. There's only one name. And the Hunters have made it pretty clear that they're willing to kill everyone in Mystic Falls until they get it"

"Elena" Damon says frustrated, handing it to her directly "Take the damn thing. I want you to take it"

Elena holds it for a moment, looking own at the vial hesitantly, before placing back into Damon's hand "I can't"

"Well, I guess that answers the sire bond question" He mutters, before looking over at the doorway when the floor creaks "You gonna help a brother out, or are you just gonna lurk ?"

Amelia thinks she is caught for a moment, before she sees Jeremy walk inside, looking directly at his sister "Look, Elena. You're my sister and I love you, no matter what you choose"

The Salvatore throws his head back with a groan "How is it even when you're dead, you're the bane of my existence ?" He then groans once again, clearly in pain, panicking Amelia and Elena.

Amelia walks inside upon hearing, while Elena eyes Damon suspiciously "What was that ?"

"Nothing" He tries shrug off, but ends up wincing again.

"Take off your shirt" Both girls order together, making Jeremy look at them weirdly.

"Elena, Amelia, there are children present" He tries to joke, and Amelia just rolls her eyes at him.

Stepping forward before Elena can, Amelia grabs the collar of his shirt and pulls it down revealing a unhealed bullet wound in his shoulder. Amelia narrows her eyes at him,getting slightly angry he hasn't mentioned this sooner "Damon, why hasn't this healed ?" She demands.

"Because the bullet was laced with Werewolf venom , okay ?" He admits begrudgingly "The Hunters are dicks"

With that, the Doppelganger begins to pace in panic mode "We need Klaus. We need his blood"

"Klaus would rather see me die" Damon scoffs "Plus, Klaus is a thousand miles away sipping Hurricanes on Bourbon Street"

"Pfft, he wishes he was doing that" Amelia dismisses knowingly "I'll call him or Caroline will. I won't let you die"

"She's right. This wound will kill you" Elena states, when a idea pops into Jeremy's mind.

"What about the cure ?" He asks, making all three look at him blankly, before they realize why he said it.

If Damon's human, the Werewolf venom wouldn't effect him, he would live if they couldn't find Klaus in time. A glimpse of hope appears in the girls eyes, whereas Damon looks annoyed by the idea.

"Jeremy's right. If you're human, the werewolf venom won't hurt you"

Damon simply looks at Elena void of any expression "And here I was, so moved by your speech to save mankind" Before listening to what;s happening downstairs "Sounds like Vaughn's awake"

With that, he walks past them with the cure in hand, leaving them in disbelief. Realizing what he is gonna do, Amelia chases after him, getting downstairs just as he and Hunter leave. Grabbing her leather jacket from the side, she runs out after them.

She wasn't letting him die. Not today.

*********

Having drove to the Cemetery, Amelia picks up Alaric, since he was hiding out there to avoid being seen by people. Knowing Damon was heading, the pair drive to the Quarry, while Amelia explains the situation to Ric. Against an Hunter of the Five, having a Original Vampires help is a good idea.

When they arrive, they hear Damon and Vaughn talking as they approach "What's wrong, Laddie ? Can't swim ? Damon mocks stupidly.

Vaughn looks over at him with a glare, until he notices Damon's wound creeping up his neck, getting worse due to the Werewolf venom "The hell happened to you ?"

Glancing at the wound, Damon looks back at Vaughn paled "Oh. Well, would you look at that. That is nasty"

Vaughn chuckles dryly "Connor..." Is all he says, glancing down at the gun in his hand "He must've laced these bullets with Werewolf venom"

"Ding, Ding, Ding. Not as dumb as you sound" Damon smirks, making Vaughn frown then shot him in leg, making him fall back and clutch his leg in pain.

"This was all a lie, eh ?" Vaughn figures out, nodding to the Quarry surrounding them "You knew you were a dead man" He then clutches the cure, which he has tied around his neck "Well, you don't get this back. Where did you put Silas ?"

The Eldest Salvatore just laughs, making Vaughn shoot him square int he chest, causing him to fall to his knees weakly "One more jolt of Werewolf toxin, and you'll be dead within minuets" Then the Hunter begins to shout "Where's Silas ?"

Damon keeps his lips sealed, so Vaughn aims the gun directly at his head, finger lingering on the trigger. Alaric quickly rushes forward, stopping behind Vaughn and snapping his neck, just before he can pull the trigger. He then throws the body into the Quarry, as Amelia rushes to Damon's side.

"Oops" Ric smirks, getting the weakest smile back off Damon, who Amelia has pulled into her arms.

"One slight problem" But Ric holds up the cure, making relief rush through the Salvatore.

"You mean this ?" He asks, and lets out a airy laugh.

"Yes. Yes that"

Amelia quickly grabs the cure of Ric, then holds it to Damon "Open wide. It's Cherry flavored" She mocks lightly, but Damon pushes her hand holding it away, shaking his head.

"Elena" He mutters out, his head buried into her side, growing more pale and weak by the second "Its... It's for...for.... Elena"

"Now is not the time to worry about her. She can live with being a Vampire, you however, won't last much longer if you don't take it" Amelia argues with him, While Alaric phones Stefan and the others, trying to figure out what they should do.

But he continues to shake his head, making tears roll down her cheeks, not able to hide her emotions any longer "Damon, please" She begs  "I can't lose you, not again. Not ever"

In that moment, it wasn't the werewolf venom that was paining Damon, it was seeing the look on her face. Using all his strength, Damon lifted his hand to her cheek, wiping away the tears. He couldn't bare to see her cry, he couldn't stand it when they were human, and he still can't now.

"Stefan, we are passed the point of hail Mary phone calls" Alaric snaps into the phone, catching Amelia's attention, as she glances away from Damon for a moment "What do you want us to do ? Stand here and watch him die, or force feed him the cure ?"

"Stefan" Amelia growls, growing impatient when they don't receive an answer.

After a few moments, a voice comes down the phone, only it isn't Stefan "Tell me where you are, love, I'll heal the idiot" And Amelia couldn't help but grin, happy tears now leaving her eyes.

"Klaus"

************

"So... are you here for me or Caroline ?" Amelia questions, as her and Klaus stand together a while later, leaned against Amelia's car outside the Boarding House.

Klaus chuckles, looking down before back up at her "I received Caroline's graduation announcement, so I was already on the way. Your phone calls just made me speed up"

"Ah, so your here for Caroline ? She states, noticing a blush creep up his cheeks, and laughs lightly "It's okay, Nik, you can say it. I do ship the pair of you together"

"It's just after what happened... I didn't want to hurt you" He admits slightly embarrassed, and she smiles at him.

"Nik, I'm okay with what happened, trust me. I used to wonder what kissing you would be like, if I'm being honest. But, we're both in love with other people, and are better as friends. Besides, I'm more like your sister at times, it'd just be bloody weird" She tells him bluntly, and he rolls his eyes at her, laughing himself.

"A very good point, love" He chuckles "Well, if you don;t mind, there is a blonde I need to go see"

She nods, giving him a hug, before pushing him forward "Go get the girl, Nik"

She watches him go, then heads inside the house, leaning back against the front door  when she closes it. There was one of many problems solved. Pushing off the door, Amelia makes her way into the library, where Lexi and Alaric are both sat drinking.

Lexi grins when she spots her "There you are. You're missing out on all the fun. Elena just slapped Damon, and is now talking to Stefan. It's all getting interesting"

"It usually does" Alaric and Amelia answer together, giving each other weird looks when they realize they did it.

Amelia sits down in Lexi lap, not caring to take one of the empty chairs, but the girl doesn't complain "So, the Other Side... Not exactly a party, is it ?" Lexi comments, glancing at Alaric.\

"I lived... better" He admits.

Lexi looks at him thoughtful "You know there's something else out there, right ? There has to be. Silas' whole agenda was to find peace with his one true love, and whatever 'Peace' is... it's out there. I figure once we've served or time for all the bad things we've done, then it's just about letting go, moving on"

"And how are we supposed to do that when the knuckleheads we care about can't seem to keep their lives straight ?" Ric reminds, and Lexi sighs, knowing he's right.

"Yeah..." She trials off, before glancing at Amelia "Knucklehead"

"Rude" The Evans girl pouts.

Then Stefan and Elena walk back in, and Elena looks at Amelia "Amelia, can I talk to you for a sec ?"

She narrows her eyes at the Doppelganger, before nodding and getting to her feet. As she follows Elena out, she glances over at Lexi "It's about to get a lot more interesting"

Standing in the hallway, Amelia leans against the wall and looks at Elena "Well ?"

"I wanted to apologize" Elena begins, scratching the back of her neck awkwardly "Even before my humanity was off, I treated you horribly, even when you tried to help me. I've said some things, that looking back on, I do regret now. I've also caused problems for you, Stefan and Damon, that I shouldn't have"

"Yeah.." Amelia trials off, not sure what to say.

"And I want to make that right. I know you hate me, and we'll never be true friends, but I know how to try and fix this"

"And exactly how is that ?"

"I know you're in love with Damon" She says, making Amelia tense slightly "And I know he's in love with you, even if you can't see it. I've known that for a while now, and I've tried to ignore, because of how I feel. But, I won't keep Damon from being happy, nor shall I stop you either"

"He loves you, Elena..."

"No, he doesn't, not anymore. You've heard him admit that, and you've told me that yourself. Damon's feelings about me... they faded away the minuet you came back into his life. I know that, and I'm fine with it. Maybe it's time I took a break from both Salvatore brothers for a while"

"What are you trying to say ?" Amelia finally asks bluntly.

"Go, tell him how you feel, be happy. You deserve that, Amelia"

Before anything else can be said, Elena gives her a small smile, before walking away back toward the Library. Amelia stays against the wall, everything she just said spinning around her head.

*********

"I wanted to apologize" Damon begins, as Amelia walks into the lounge, spotting him by the fire with a glass of Bourbon in hand.

She spots and looks at him, folding her arms over her chest "Good" She nods, pursing her lips.

"Let me finish" He snaps slightly, making her anger slightly, but try and hold it back "I said I wanted to. And then I realized, I'm not sorry"

The Evans girl takes a deep breath, clenching her fists slightly "You would rather die, then be human, and you expect me to be okay with that ?"

"I didn't say you were supposed to be okay with it, I just said I'm not sorry" He tells her, glancing into the flames before back at her "But you know what I really am ? Selfish, because I make bad choices that hurt you. Yes, I would rather die then be human. I'd rather die right now than spend a handful of years with you, only to lose you when I'm too old and sick and miserable and you're still you"

"I'd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was, because that's who I am, Amelia, and I'm not gonna change. And there's no apology in the world that encompasses all the reasons that I'm wrong for you. As a friend and..." But he stops himself, quickly looking away from her line of sight.

"And, what ?" She asks, but he stays quiet "And, what, Damon ?"

"And as a boyfriend" He finally spits out, shocking her "Because I'm in love with you, Amelia Evans, deeply and madly in love with you.I have been for a while, but I keep screwing whatever is between us up"

Amelia just stares at him, taking in everything that he said "Yeah, you do, because you're a idiot. But, guess what ? You're my idiot. And, I'm not sorry either" This makes the Salvatore stare at her, not sure where she is going with this.

"I'm not sorry, I met you in 1864 and you became my best friend. I'm not sorry, that since you came back into my life, you've completely flipped it upside down. You act like a terrible person, but I'm not gonna judge, as so do I at times. And, yeah, you've made wrong choices. At times I've wanted to strangle you for them. But, I'm about to make one myself, and I don't care either. But, I'm not sorry I'm in love with you" She speeches, and when she says the final part, his jaw lowers slightly.

"I love you, Damon Salvatore. I love -" Suddenly, his lips collide with hers, stopping anymore words leaving her mouth.

His arms snake around her neck, while she places her hands on his cheek softly, never wanting to let go or pull apart. Passion, Romance, even a little adventure happened all at once. Over a hundred years worth of built up emotions, all coming out at once. Everything they've been through recently, just forgotten in the moment.

This was their time, their moment, and they were gonna make the most of it.

IT FUCKING HAPPENED ! DAMELIA HAS FUCKING SAILED, I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH MYSELF ! I worked hard on this chapter, and I hope it shows. So, Elena did a selfless thing and let Damon go, letting Amelia be happy. Then, they admitted their feelings, and I think it was cute AF.

So, they're officially together, after a long wait. Now, we move onto season 5, and see what else is in store for them. If you have a question about anything, drop it in the comments, and  I'll post a small Q&A answering them.

Comment what you think below, and I'll see you all with another update soon :)

P.S - The gif of Elena and Damon at the top kissing, for the sake of this chapter, pretend it is Amelia and Damon.
