Elena is furious, but she has been left to stew in her anger long enough it dulls into something close to resigned frustration. She is not leaving the Tower, much as she may want to, and the first thing she did was write an entry to Jeremy to at least ensure he was okay and away from wherever this was happening, since she didn't know and it was another concern.
When Damon finds her in her room, Elena doesn't hit him.
She doesn't hit him, she doesn't yell at him, she doesn't demand that he never do it again. These are all things she would've done at some point without a second thought, except she doesn't have the energy to do them anymore. She can't go back to that back and forth with Damon that never seems to change.
Her levels of understanding have a limit, and he may have lost a friend, but it doesn't excuse what he did. She's done.
Once the compulsion has been lifted, she stalks past him and doesn't look back.
