Hey, so here's a new story for you guys. Hope you like it. Did you guys see the new episode of Vampire Diaries, did you love the ending scene with Damon and Elena? I don't want to say anything about it, I don't want to spoil it for people who don't want to know. If you guys have suggestions for stories for me to write just PM me, anyway I'm going to quit the babbling now and let you read. :)

Elena POV

I kissed Damon goodbye and immediately the guilt ran through my body. I wanted to stay with Damon desperately and be with him for the rest of eternity but how could I destroy Stefan in such a away? After everything me and Stefan had been through I owed Stefan more than that, but didn't I owe him more than to deceive him like this? Honestly, I had never felt so confused.

"Stay." Damon whispered against my lips.

"You know I can't, Damon." I tried to hide the pain in my voice but it was still there.

I had once promised myself that I wouldn't do this to the both of them, that I wouldn't string both Damon and Stefan along but I was doing exactly that despite my promise to myself. I did love Damon more than anything in the world but my loyalty to Stefan and everything that we had been through made me think twice about my decision

Finally I left the Salvatore Boarding House and drove to the Grill, my hands clenched tightly on the steering wheel in disgust of who I had become. I drove slowly, I just couldn't face Stefan, not yet. I needed five more minutes to myself, I needed to be alone.

I had been feeling filthy and dirty lately, I had never been this person and I had never wanted to be this person that I now was. What made it worse for me was that I had told Damon to keep our affair secret from his brother, I had made Damon lie to his own brother. It wasn't like Damon hadn't lied to Stefan before but it made me feel terrible because I had be the cause of the lies.

I reached the Grill and parked my car in the only empty space available. To my surprise Caroline's car was there too. I hesitated before I opened the entrance door, I didn't want it to be like this. I didn't want all the lies and games. I then made another promise to myself, I had to make up my mind. I would put a stop to this before she went crazy. Damon or Stefan? The question rung in my head.

Walking into the Grill I saw Stefan playing darts with Tyler and Matt, all of them were laughing and smiling. Bonnie and Caroline were sat on bar stools watching the boys intently with huge grins on their faces. There was a spare stool next to Caroline and I realised that the stool was meant for me. I glanced at my watch to see how late I was.

"Ten minutes. Great." I whispered before putting a fake smile on my face and walking over to my friends.

Stefan POV

I heard her heartbeat and footsteps come closer towards us and I smiled slightly to myself. I turned to face her and for a second I thought Elena was Katherine, she had a glint in her eye that Katherine had had during 1864 when she had been sleeping with me and Damon.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late." Elena said as she kissed my cheek before walking over to the spare stool next to Caroline.

"Hey, Elena." Everyone mumbled, all of them smiling cheerfully.

Tyler took his three shots and had a bull's eye much to Matt's displeasure as he was already losing by a considerable amount. Tyler smirked at Matt who just shrugged pretending not to be bothered by it all, when clearly he was.

"Don't worry about it, Matt." Bonnie said with a playful smile on her face, that made me wonder if anything was going on between Matt and Bonnie. Matt winked back at Bonnie before he took his three shot at the Dart Board. Maybe there was something going on there.

"Anyone want some drinks? I'm sure I could get the bar man to give us some alcohol." Caroline said with a knowing grin on her face.

"Go for it." Tyler spoke like it was dare, like he didn't think Caroline would really do it but to the rest of us it was pretty obvious that she would.

Elena POV

Two hours later after the triple date had officially end. Stefan and Caroline had drove Matt and Bonnie home because they had gotten way to drunk to even walk home. When Stefan and Caroline had come back to the Grill, they joined me and Tyler at a table and we begun to chat away wildly about the latest gossip in Mystic Falls. I would join in occasionally, but my thoughts kept drifting back to how much I had turned into Katherine, playing with both Salvatore brothers.

I glanced over at Stefan who surprisingly hadn't noticed my absence in the conversation at all, he was laughing with Tyler about something Caroline had just said. Stefan's smile made me smile and the guilt spread through my veins once more. I hated what I had become but yet I still didn't want to give it up what I had, the conflict of my thoughts were only making me even more confused and angry with myself.

"Elena?" Caroline stared at me and waved a hand in front of my face.

"You with us?"

Caroline peered down at me, her blue eyes sparkling brightly reminding me of the blue eyes that had held so much love for me when I had last seen them a few hours earlier. Tyler stared at me too, his brow furrowed on his head whilst Stefan just smiled sweetly at me, which only made everything more heartbreaking for me. If only he knew.

"Sorry guys, I have an headache. I guess the drink got to me." I laughed half-heartedly.

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Stefan asked me, expressing genuine concern for me.

I shook my head and stood up.

"No, I'll just get Da-Jeremy….I'll get Jeremy to pick me up! He won't mind, he's just sat at home watching TV either alone or with Alaric." I spoke faster towards the end, hoping that Stefan, Caroline and Tyler hadn't heard me say the first syllable of Damon's name.

"Okay, if you're sure." Stefan nodded.

I hugged Caroline goodbye, waved goodbye to Tyler and kissed Stefan quickly before I left. But it felt as though, Stefan wasn't really into the kiss like he used to be or maybe I was just hoping that he didn't feel the same about me anymore.

I text Jeremy to come and pick me up and while I waited for him, I glanced over at Stefan who was chatting to Tyler about something. Caroline was nowhere to be seen. Where was she?

"What the hell is up with you, Elena?"

Found her, I mentally told myself.

"Nothing, Caroline. I've got a headache."

I walked out of the doors before she could say anything else to me. I just wanted to go home. Jeremy had just pulled up when I stepped outside into the cold night air. I ran to the car trying to escape as fast as I could. Jeremy didn't ask me any questions or he didn't even talk to me, he just drove us home in silence.

When we were home, I thanked him and I run upstairs to my room. I jumped on my bed, not bothering to turn on the lights. I wanted the darkness to cover the mess, the disaster that I had become.

"Elena?" A voice whispered, at first I thought it was Stefan coming to check on me but no the soft ragged whisper was Damon's.

"Damon?" I slowly stood up off the bed and made my towards him the dark. My hands found his chest, I run my hands up from his chest to his face. I was so glad that he was here, if he hadn't been I would probably be crying into my pillow right now.

"Elena, please. I need to tell you something."

What did he have to tell me? Did Stefan know about us? Did Damon not want to be with me anymore? Had everything I had risked been for nothing? The questions burned in my head, Damon couldn't be leaving me. He wouldn't be leaving me. Damon kissed my lips gently before pulling away, he pulled my hands away from his face. Only making me panic more, I just needed him to tell me what he wanted to say. My heart was beating faster than was healthy in anticipation, I run my fingers through my hair but he still didn't say anything causing me to say something.

"Are you leaving me?" I whispered, my voice broke and I couldn't stop the tears that fell. "Because if you are -"

Damon cut me off abruptly.

"Elena, I would never leave you. Wherever you are, I am…Elena, please don't cry." He kissed my face where the tears were falling in hope that he would make them stop, but they tears carried on falling down my face.

"Then what do you need to say?"

Damon pulled away and his hand reached my face, gently caressing my cheeks. I wish I could see his face but the darkness of my room cloaked us from each other, both of us not really sure of what the other was thinking.

"I love you, Elena but I can't live like this anymore. I can't share you with my brother, I just can't. I want to take you out on dates, I want to go on double dates with blondie and the dog. I want to be able to show the world that I'm with you. What I want is for you to decide. You need to decide Elena. Me or Stefan. I can't live like this anymore."

You need to decide, Elena. To my horror I realised that Judgement Day had come.
