Hey guys :) Here is the final part of my fanfiction. I also might post a prologue sometime that takes place before the gang goes on the expedition. Well hope you enjoy this part.

Damon takes a deep breath, looks at her and says "I am doing all of this for you Elena! I already said that I wanted you to have a normal human life. After I heard what Rebekah did and Stefan picking the blond quarterback over you, I was furious! I know you are going to say that I should respect your decisions, but I love you Elena and when you chose to risk your own life, you knew there was a good chance you would become a vampire. Now there is a sire bond on top of it all and I don't know if your love is real or not".....

Damon stops there and Elena is left in shock. she never would have expected Damon to admit his true feelings out loud to anyone. She then takes his hand, lifts up his chin and says "Damon listen, I am happy that you are searching so hard to find this cure, but if your worried that I wouldn't complete the transition, of course I would. I mean, being a vampire makes me feel free and I could never leave Jeremy....or you. I knew what I was doing when I asked Stefan to save Matt and I knew that if I did end up being a vampire there would be struggles, but I would have you to help me every step of the way. I don't care about the sire bond since I still love you no matter what. Even if there isn't a cure, then I am ok with that since we have each other...forever. "

Damon interrupts, what about Stefan?" Elena just smiles "Damon I love Stefan, but I am not in love with him, not anymore. It's you I am in love with, your my choice." Damon is speechless from Elena's speech but doesn't say anything. Instead he whispers "we should probably get some rest" Elena nods and lies down on the blanket. Damon stares at her, knowing that the real reason he wants to find the cure is so he and Elena can be human and grow old together. He shakes his head and lies down on his own blanket next to her and whispers "Forever".
