It was a quiet and beautiful day as Damon and Elena lounged in the Boarding House. For the past month, thing's had been easy, with Katherine gone Elena felt...safe. Everyone had been hangin out together, Her, Damon, Caroline, Tyler, Matt, Bonnie, and Jeremy. They came to a rough patch when Jenna and Matt found out about vampires, but thankfully they handled it well, with the help of having at least two human friends; Elena and Jeremy. Although Matt couldn't look at Caroline for weeks, and eventually broke up with her for good. Caroline found solace and love in Tyler. And Matt still hung out with them. Yep, life really was good. A doorbell broke Elena out of her reverie. Damon and Elena looked at each other, confusion clearly covering thier faces.
''Let me guess, blondie, wolf boy, witch, or mutt?'' Damon already guessed.
Elena gave him a look. ''Behave,'' She warned. Damon rolled his eyes then stood to open the door, that someone was now banging on.
''I'm coming!'' Damon yelled, irratiated. He opened the door and felt his eye's widen at the sighed before him.
''Stefan?'' He whispered in shock.
XxX
Stefan looked awful, his clothes were covered in dirt, and his face was paler than before. Before Damon knew it Elena had walked up beside him. He heard a small gasp.
''Elena, stay back.'' He said, as he pushed her behind him. He felt Elena's hand on his forearm.
''Elena!'' Stefan cheered. Elena peeked around Damon to look at her ex-boyfriend, who was dead, raping, and abusing her over a month ago.
Elena wasn't confused or mad. Upset was the word. She missed the old Stefan, and even though he had hurt her alot, she still loved him. But it wasn't enough to run into his arms, no matter what Stefan did, even if he turned back to his old self, Damon still has her heart.
''How are you back? You were dead a month ago.'' Damon said. Stefan's eyes glistened. Elena could have sworn she saw tears.
Stefan then broke down, tears were clear in his eyes and his face was shattered. ''I don't know, Damon. I don't. I don't want to be back after knowing what I did.'' Stefan sobbed. He fell on his knees on the porch.
Elena's face softened, while Damon's glare just hardened. ''You shouldn't be.'' Damon said. Elena put her hand on Damon's arm, and slid in front of him. He grabbed her arm.
''What are you doing?'' He questioned. Elena gently touched his face with her free hand.
''I'll be OK. He is not capable of hurting me, Damon. Just let me talk to him.'' Elena begged. This wasn't going to be easy, Damon was probably the most stubborn person, aside from herself.
Damon didn't release his hold. He looked back at the crumpled Stefan before him. ''He need's me, Damon,'' Elena eyes revealed that she knew that this wasn't the Stefan that hurt her, it was the Stefan she loved.
''Fine,'' He said, walking inside and slamming the door.
Elena hovered over Stefan, her arms folded over her chest.
''You and Damon, huh?'' Stefan questioned.
''I love him,'' She stated. Stefan nodded.
''He loves you, too. I can tell.'' He said, struggling to get to his feet.
''I'm not here to talk about my realtionship with Damon, Stefan. I need to know something.'' Elena stated.
''What?'' He asked, curiousty hitched to his voice.
''Why are you here?'' She asked.
He hesitated ''I honestly don't know.'' He answered.
XxX
Stefan stayed outside for a while, while Elena went inside with Damon. He was sitting on the couch, drinking.
She sighed. ''Your mad,'' She stated. He smiled a tight smile.
''You know me so well.'' He said.
''What is it?'' Elena asked.
''I should have known, that if Stefan ever came back to his old self, you would run back into his arm's again.'' Damon said. Now Elena understood, he wasn't mad, he was hurt.
Elena grabbed his hand. ''No, don't ever doubt my love for you.'' She said.
He violently ripped his hand from her's. ''How can't I, Elena!'' He said, throwing the cup against the wall, the glass shattered against the wall.
''All I've ever been is used. By Katherine, you.'' He said.
''That's not true. I've never used you.'' She said. Elena realized where all the drama was coming from, he was not only hurt but drunk, which with Damon is never a good combanation.

Elena let him yell and then cry over her all night, until he finally passed out. She pulled his shoes off. ''He is gonna have a massive hangover in the morning.''
