"I love you, Elena. And because I love you I can't be selfish with you. I don't deserve you, but my brother does." Then he, Damon, compels her, Elena.

It was a long night for the both of them because Elena pretended she was compelled. She cheated. There was vervain on her bra strap, she intended to put it there because she heard footsteps, and she thought it was Katherine.

She can't fall asleep, so she sat there looking at her diary, but wasn't writing anything. She was re-reading her old entries. She missed the times when her problems were just how Caroline was annoying her. And, that was nothing compared to her problems now.

How she would stay alive for tomorrow to protect her loved ones. She is a doppelganger anyway.

"Don't stress yourself too much." Damon came in through Elena's window. Elena eyed him suspiciously. He acted cool; his façade was there, like he wasn't here few moments ago.

"Hey." She said uncomfortably.

"Since when, my dear Elena did you became uncomfortable with my beloved presence?" Damon acted like he was hurt; he placed his right arm straight to his heart.

"I am not uncomfortable with your presence. I'm just clouded because of what actually happened to me tonight." She sighed.

But then, strong arms embraced her into a tight hug. She hugged Damon back.

"We'll be celebrating tomorrow." He assured her, letting her go.

"You're taking me somewhere?" Elena exclaimed. He chuckled.

"I'm so sorry, no." Elena was disappointed now. She lay back on her bed, ignoring Damon. He stood up and lay beside her.

"Do you wanna go somewhere?" Damon smirked.

"Yeah, away from here. Away from Stefan for awhile." Damon snigger.

Elena watched him with fascination.

"Away from my goody good, baby brother St. old Stefan?" Elena rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, but don't tell him." She giggled.

"Rose and Lexi are coming over tomorrow for that little feast." Damon then told her.

"Oh, I thought we'll be in Egypt, Norway, Greece or Poland tomorrow." Elena yawned and curled into a ball and fell asleep. Damon smirked, touched her cheeks, kissed her forehead and whispered I love you Elena before he disappeared.

Elena woke up. She remembered last night and she was searching the last man she saw before she goes to sleep. Damon.

She took a bath and ate breakfast, Stefan knocked and Elena welcomed him.

"So, what's up?" Stefan asked.

"I'm fine." That's all she answered him. She doesn't wanna see him now; every part of her was craving for someone's attention instead of his.

"Come over today, Rose and Lexi came over last night for a little feast that we made it through." Elena agreed, she fixed herself.

When she was already applying makeup, Stefan spun her around and kissed her gently, she felt something in the pit of the stomach. She didn't want it to be this way anymore. She ended the kiss and they headed for the boarding house.

When they arrived, they found Rose and Lexi preparing the dining room.

"Rose, Lexi." She called out. With vampire speed they went to her and hugged her with human energy.

"We're glad you made it." Rose told her.

"Yes, thanks to the Salvatore brothers."

Damon entered the dining room and wore his famous smirk.

"Let's eat!" Lexi announced.

Elena noticed how Rose fully accommodates Damon with everything. She's eyeing them suspiciously, Stefan seems to notice.

"Rose loves Damon." Stefan stated.

"I see." That was all she was able to answer.

She made it through without breaking down with the view in front of her. Elena went straight into the kitchen to clean the dishes, when she suddenly drops a plate, she was expecting for the banging sound it'll make.

"Boo." Damon whispered in her ear with her eyes closed she smiled and said.

"I forgot, this was Salvatore's boarding house, which means full of vampires." Damon smirked.

Rose entered and kissed him passionately, she wants to stop Rose from kissing him and she wants to sue Damon for kissing Rose in front of her.

She returns to her dishes in order to look for another way to avoid the scene and the unknown feeling she's having. After she finishes the dishes, she silently walks away to leave the two vampires alone.

"Going somewhere?" Rose asked.

"I'm done, giving both of you a privacy too." She smiled, Rose smiled back and she quickly left.

She finds Stefan and Lexi in the living area laughing, there he looked so happy, she just watch the two from afar.

"Elena, what are you doing there?" Lexi asked.

"I'm already leaving." She said. Stefan looked at her.

"Jenna needs me for the laundry, bye Lexi, bye Stefan." She approached Stefan and kissed him then left.

She drives home, trying to figure out what she was feeling. She felt this before when she asked Bonnie's and Caroline's help. She reached for her phone and dialed Bonnie first.

"This is Bonnie, I'm sorry I can't talk to you now. Say it." Elena rolled her eyes, answering machine again, she thought.

"Hey, Bonnie. Can you, uh, come over tonight with Caroline? I just need some advice. Thanks." She did the same with Caroline.

As soon as she gets home, Bonnie was there so as Caroline.

"Upstairs" she just simply said and they followed her.

"What is it, Elena?" Caroline's high-pitched voice surrounded her room.

"Please, don't hate me for this." She sighed.

"And why is that?" Bonnie asked.

"I'm inlove.." she breathes in "But not with Stefan anymore." She sighs, waiting for their reaction.

"To another vampire." Bonnie asked, more like stated.

"Yeah."

"I think I know who." Caroline said. "To the other Salvatore brother." Caroline confirmed.

"Elena!" Bonnie freaked out, Elena nodded.

"Wait, Bonnie. Let me explain, I don't know what I'm feeling right now because I saw Rose kiss him. I wanted to sue him and I wanted to stop her. He said he loves me, but he compelled me, and I cheated. There was a vervain in my strap. Do you get my point?" Bonnie sighs.

"I know what you feel." Bonnie looks at Caroline for confirmation, Caroline looks at her.

"You're jealous."

"No, I can't be." She denies.

"You feel the same way." Caroline stated

"You just deny it, because you don't wanna hurt Stefan. Bu if you don't love him the way you did before, allow him to let loose of you, then." Bonnie dared.

" Elena we need to go. We're arranging Tyler's party for tomorrow. And, you're oh so invited." They smiled and left.

"Yeah, sure."

Later that evening, she called Stefan to come over, in less than 30 seconds he was there.

"Let's go to Tyler's party tomorrow. Let loose Stefan. Party." Stefan eyes her suspiciously, she sounded drunk.

"Okay, alright Stefan. I don't wanna hurt you, but please I want you to be happy." She said.

"But, I am happy with you, Elena." Stefan countered back.

"I know you're confused right now, but trust me, for the last time. Lexi's the right vampire for you, not me a human." Stefan simply understood.

"My brother, right?" Stefan said coldly. "Don't worry I'll let loose, just stay with me."

"I will, Stefan." Elena assured. Then Stefan left.

Without her knowing, Stefan who had animal diet lost it; he attacked a couple that night and drained them to death.

Elena thought everything will still workout, she slept that night peacefully.

The next day, she went straight to the boarding house only to find Damon and Lexi in the house pacing back and forth.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Both the vampires stopped walking and looked at each other.

"Stefan."
