A/n: I do not own TVD. I only own my character. I hope you guys like it! I've recently started watching this and I'm in love with it now! I have no idea why it took me so long to watch it. I thought I'd try something that came to mind while I watched it.

"Elena."

Stefan whispered as he sat on a couch. The couch was in a home in New Orleans, Louisiana. He left Mystic falls the day he saw Elena and Damon together. It wasn't just hanging out or trying to figure anything out, they were like a couple, Kissing, holding hands, smiling. He was stupid to believe that this wouldn't happen. He should have learned from the first time, Damon would always do this. He looked up, a glass of human blood in his hands, and smiled at the girl who sat across from him.

He hadn't seen Leigh in years; it was a shock to him that he remembered she even lived in New Orleans, and a shock that she hadn't moved yet. He took her in, remembering when he and Damon were around her before. Her dyed fiery red hair was short and straight now, it framed her face perfectly. Her dark grey eyes watched him, he never realized how well they fit her, or how they shined when she looked at him. Her pale skin was marked with a few tattoos', only one of which was visible all the time.

"Stefan, you're going to have to stop this," She looked at him, a glass of bourbon in her hands.

Stefan set the glass down and ran a hand through his short brown hair," I Just.. I can't.. I can't believe this happened.. Again."

"You should have known. Damon will never change, he hasn't changed yet. Well he did briefly, but it obviously didn't last long. Otherwise he'd probably be here with me or I'd be somewhere else."

"I know. I was stupid to think he ever would. At first it seemed like he was. I'm just stupid. I won't be going back there again."

"Does she really mean this much to you?" Leigh looked at him, her eyes full of warmth.

Stefan looked up at her, she could see the hurt in her eyes. A frown started to form on her face as she thought. "What if I go back with you?"

"What?"

"Well… Damon hasn't seen me in years. I'm sure I still have an effect on him, maybe not one like Elena. You can go back to school. I can enroll if I need to and be there with you and her. I'm sure we could get between her and Damon."

He watched Leigh, studying her. He would have never thought about it. He actually wouldn't have ever asked her to go back to Mystic Falls. "I can't ask that of you."

She looked at him; her expression went from a warm comfort one to a serious one. "I can manage to be there again. It's been a long time, and I'm sure the people who were there aren't now. There's many new generations since then."

He looked at her, "Really? You'd be okay going?"

She nodded, " I would.. Now are you okay pretending to be in a relationship with me? We can't just be friends, that won't come between them."

Stefan looked at her for a long moment, taking a drink from his glass. "I would. You know Damon's really going to hate me."

She smiled, "I'm sure he will, but if Elena comes to her senses then you won't have to worry about him while you live life with her."

After talking the two had gone to bed, They planned to leave early in the morning to drive to Mystic Falls. While laying down Leigh closed her eyes, as she thought on everything memories came flooding back to her.

"Lee," A messy brown haired boy looked at her.

She looked into his cobalt blue eyes, they were full of worry, she knew this wasn't going to be good. "What Dae?"

He looked at her, not moving an inch, "I.. I want to spend eternity with you."

"What?"

"I want to spend eternity with you," He pulled out a small black box from his coat pocket.

She looked at him, tears filling her eyes. "Eternity is an awfully long time."

"I know. That's why I said that. I love you.. I love you more than I ever did her."

She looked at him, he was referring to Katharine. He had told her everything about him and Stefan, and her. He never really told anyone about it, unless they were important. As she stood there staring off, he reached with his free hand and grabbed hers. She let him take it, a few minutes later realizing what she did.

"I can't Damon. I just can't." She sighed, everything was still so new to her.

"Please?" He pleaded, "Why not?"

"I can't Damon. Maybe in the future."

Leigh opened her eyes and shot up. She looked around, noticing Stefan on her bed. He was watching her, she must have been crying, he looked like he was concerned.

"Are you okay?"

"Uhh.. Yea.. I'm fine, ready to go?" She looked outside noticing the sky getting a bit lighter.

"You know if you can't do this, it's okay with me."

"No, no, I'm fine. Let's just get on the road, it's quite a drive."

"Was it Damon?" he watched her, looking for any signs.

She nodded as she grabbed her bags. She walked out of the house and to her Cadillac CTS-V sedan. She opened the trunk and threw her bags in it, then getting inside the car. Once Stefan got to the car he tossed his bags with hers and got in the passenger's side. The beginning of the ride was pretty quiet. As they entered Mystic Falls, it was night. Stefan told her how to get to the boarding house. Once at the house she parked and they both got out, grabbing their bags and going inside.

Damon was sitting on the couch with a book, Elena was next to him. As the front door opened they looked at each other, then waiting to see who was coming inside. As Stefan and Leigh walked into the room, both Damon and Elena's eyes went wide. Elena grabbed Damon's arm and froze.

"Stefan," Damon stated.

"Hello Brother," Stefan smiled as he grabbed Leigh's hand.

R&R! I hope it was good, and I want to continue it, but I don't if no one is reading it.
