In 2x20 Damon proved one more time that he’s the only hero surrounded by the idiots counting on the elixir which doesn’t have any guarantee to work! He’s so desperate to save Elena because his life means nothing without her. I’m touched and heartbroken. Poor Damon! You dererve to be loved more than Stefan who only took her to watch the waterfall while you were saving the day. WTF Stefan, you said Klaus took her but it was you who gave Elena to him! Damon would never do that. He would die for her, he would risk anything, he would sacrifice anyone, he would gladly be there for her during the sacrifice and be sacrificed with her, he thought in that case he might help her, support her. He would agree to be hated by her the whole eternity, he would watch her being with his brother this eternity if she was alive and free. The world has never seen such selfless love. I’m proud of Damon, The HERO, The MAN.
I used here some quotes from the Midnight book as they describe perfectly
