Elena was yelling at him, and Damon was ignoring her. This is such a common scene between the two of them that it could have been any day at all. It wasn't any day though. It was the end of the world, and the reason she was yelling at him to stop is because Martha and Wes hadn't arrived yet. His driving through that Rift without listening (so she could live, so they could live) was going to cost her more people, more loss. They drove through all together the four of them, and somehow he ended up in the next world all by himself, all alone. He probably deserved it. No, he definitely deserved it.

But he lost it just the same (lost it), because-- because. This is Damon and that is Elena, and he loves her in a consuming way, because he never would have left her side unless it was to save her life. The Rifts had other ideas though, and whatever has happened in that other world (and is still happening and for how ever long that he has been there) (he doesn't like to think about either so chances are the answers aren't good ones), Damon isn't opening up about it here and now.

All he knows is... suddenly, suddenly he is on a ship and not where he had been before.

"...what the hell."

His voice is less questioning, more drawn out and flat. He is not completely against being somewhere else for once.
