Sooo I haven't written on here for a long time, but I miss TVD so much and I wanted to write about what COULD happen in Season 4 (I can't believe we've already been through 3 seasons!) I'm team Stefan, and this is a team Stephen story. Also Klaroline and Damon/Bonnie-but those will come later:) I don't know if I'm going to keep writing this, but I might:) I really appreciate everyone that reviews! Okay now I'm babbling...Onward!

Stefan stood and watched as Elena's body was set on a gurney and pulled away. Someone had covered her in a white blanket so he couldn't see her face, but just because he couldn't Elena under the blanket didn't mean she wasn't dead. Elena was dead.

Elena was dead.

Stefan knew it was entirely his fault. If only he had not listened to her request and just taken her first. If they had not spent all that time silently arguing underwater he would probably have had time to go back and get Matt before too much damage was done. Maybe if she hadn't been so stubborn he could've tried to take both of them at once, he had vampire strength after all.

He could of done so many things differently, and in every other situation Elena would be alive. He had traded Matt's life for Elena's. What a horrible choice. Stefan felt so guilty for even thinking that.

Because of Elena, selfless Elena, Matt was alive and was going to live out a long healthy life. He wanted to blame Elena for this, but as always Elena had done the right thing.

But what was going to happen now? Stefan's heart had been sliced into pieces, and there was no way he could live without Elena. And what about Jeremy? Oh god, Jeremy. Did he even know what had happened? Elena was the only person Jeremy had left, and now she was gone too.

Then there was Damon. Damon would be beyond angry at Stefan. And he should be, it was Stefan's fault. Damon would probably kill him, and he deserved it. If Damon had been the one saving Elena and Matt, he would've taken Elena first despite her protests. Damon should've been with Elena.

And then Stefan realized Elena had never made a choice between the two of them, and now she never would.

Stefan sat down on the side of the bridge and was starting to cry, but then his phone rang.

Damon answered a call from a number he didn't know and right away recognized Meredith's voice. She was out of breath and obviously freaked out. She had told Damon to get to the hospital right now, it was about Elena. Why would Elena be at the hospital? What the hell was going on? When he tried to ask her what the problem was, she said she had other people she needed to call and hung up the phone.

Damon didn't even take his keys on the way out. Running was way faster than one of his cars, and he needed to get to the hospital right away.

Stefan picked up his phone and read the number. He didn't know who it was and was comtemplating throwing it in the water before he went to get Jeremy, but he answered it thinking it might be something important.

"Hello?" his voice went up at the end as he tried to supress tears.

"Stefan? Stefan! This is Meredith, you need to get down here right now. It's Elena. Hurry." She hung up the phone before Stefan had even gotten another word out.

Stefan put his phone back in his pocket and started running.

When he got to the hospital he went to the floor where Meredith usually was and was about to approach her when he saw her talking to Damon.

"Damon! When Elena came in earlier today, her injuries were more fatal than I let on. She had an anuerysm, and I gave her vampire blood."

The information hit Stefan like a speeding train and stunned him completely. He couldn't even process it. All he knew was that Elena was alive.

Elena was alive.

He rushed over to where Meredith and Damon were standing.

"Okay, so what's the big deal? Why did you have to interupt my nightly drink just to tell me that?" Stefan realized Damon hadn't been told the whole story.

"The big deal," Stefan said, "Is that Elena died." Damon was confused as to why Stefan was saying this with such a huge smile on his face. His brother was so contorted sometimes.

Stefan's expression threw him for a loop for a bit, but then he felt something rip through his heart. "Elena died? What, how? Where is she? Meredith, what's going on?"

Meredith and Stefan both started to speak at the same time, each trying to explain to Damon what had happened, but then Jeremy came running in the room.

"Where's Elena? I saw Alaric, the real Alaric, and then I got this phone call…and I don't know what's going on! Where is Elena?" He stopped for a second. "Is Elena dead?"

"No, Elena's not dead." Said Stefan.

"What's going on?"said Damon.

"Rebekah crashed Matt's truck off on Wickery Bridge. I tried to save her, but she insisted I get Matt out first. When I finally got her out, she was already gone." Stefan shuddered when he replayed the night's events in his head.

"But I gave her vampire blood earlier today, when she came in."

` "Wait..so now Elena's a vampire?"

Everyone fell quiet when Jeremy asked the question. Stefan had thought Elena was gone, completely gone. He had been prepared to let Damon put a stake throught his heart for it. But now, was Elena a vampire? That was Elena's worst nightmare.

"Stefan, how could you?" A mix of emotions was on Damon's face, and Stefan couldn't tell what he was thinking in the least.

Meredith interupted them, "I pulled her body out of the emergency room when no one was paying attention-they all thought she was dead anyways-and put in the last room in this hall. No one ever uses it. If she had enough blood still left in her she should wake up soon."

"Thank you." Was all Stefan said before hurrying into the room where Elena was.

Damon was already standing over Elena's body when Stefan walked through the door.

"I plan on keeping my promise-our agreement- I'll leave town soon. I just need to see her alive once before I go. I won't come back, I can't."

"What? Why would you leave? She hasn't made her choice yet." Stefan didn't even care if she ever chose, he was just happy she was going to wake up.

Jeremy was in the room sitting on one of the uncomfortable chairs, but the Salvatore's conversation was the last thing he was paying attention to.

"She didn't tell you?" asked Damon.

"Tell me what? Damon, what's going on?"

Damon frowned and looked down at Elena, "Just wait for her to wake up."

Stefan had never seen Damon so sad, and had no idea what to do. Damon started walking out of the room as he turned to Stefan, "Just tell her I said goodbye."

Stefan walked out of the room and followed him, "Damon! You don't have to leave. Stay." Damon smiled as he walked toward the elevator.

Stefan walked back into the room with Jeremy and the sleeping Elena. He went over to the bed and picked up her hand. She still had no heartbeat.

"I'm so sorry, Elena." He whispered. He had been overjoyed when he first realized that Elena wasn't completely dead, but then he remembered the conversation they had once about Elena becoming a vampire. This was the last thing Elena ever wanted. Once she woke up and realized what had happened, she would hate Stefan. Elena never wanted this, and chances are she wouldn't want to complete the transition. The gaping hole in Stefan's heart grew bigger.

"What are we going to do?" asked Jeremy.

"I don't know." He replied.

They sat there for a few hours, waiting for Elena to wake up, or Damon to come back, or something to happen. Stefan could tell how tired Jeremy was getting and how hard he was trying to fight off sleep.

"Go to sleep, it's okay. I'll wake you up if anything happens."

Jeremy was going to respond, but he was asleep before he could even think of words to say.

A couple hours passed and still nothing happened. Meredith came in a few times to check in, but she had to leave after a few minutes to tend to other patients and to start trying to think of a cover story about how Elena was going to wake up perfectly healthly. Stefan thought about sleeping a few times, but Elena was only a few feet away from him, and she could wake up anytime, so he never did.

Then, at about 3:00 in the morning, Elena's eyes shot open. She looked around the room and gathered her surroundings, then looked over at Stefan.

"Stefan."

Stefan's head shot up, "Elena!" he stood up and walked over to her side.

Elena sat up and put her hand on Stefan's shoulder. "Stefan? What's going on? Where are we? Is Matt okay? What happened? Stefan tell me!"

Stefan turned to face Elena. "We're at the hospital. When you came here earlier today, you had an anuerysm and Meredith gave you Damon's blood. When you and Matt crashed I saved him, but you were already dead by the time I got you out."

Elena's heart stopped. "Wait, I died?"

"I'm so sorry Elena, if there was anything I could do to change what happened, I would."

Elena didn't say anything. She had to much running through her mind. She had died. That means Alaric had died. She was a vampire. Wait, no, she was only in transition.

"I'm in transition?" She asked.

"Yes."

Elena didn't know what to think. Matt was safe, but she had died. She wondered where Damon was, and they felt stupid for even thinking about him. She didn't have any right to. She had told him her choice, so why would he even be here? She had chosen Stefan, she was in love with Stefan and always would be.

Stefan. He was right here. He had tried to save her, but she wouldn't let him. She discarded all thoughts about what she was becoming and just thought about Stefan. She was in love with the boy sitting in front of her, she was going to spend her whole life with him, no matter what kind of life that was. Stefan was hers and she was Stefans.

She leaned over and kissed him the hardest she had ever kissed him. All she wanted was him. As long as he was near her, she could make it through anything. Their lips moved in synchronization. This was something Elena had never experienced before. All her senses were heightened and she was with Stefan like never before. She could hear him breathing and his heart beating. She could feel him in her arms and she never wanted to let go.

She pulled away, "Stefan. I love you."

Stefan smiled, but he knew this would probably be coming to an end very quickly. But if this was one of the last times he was going to spend with her, he was going to enjoy every second of it.

"I love you."

Then Jeremy smirked from his seat in the corner. "You guys want a little privacy?"

Yeah, I'm good at READING fluff, not writing it, so sorry if it's a bit all over the place. I'll try to write and post a new chapter soon! Tell me if you like it?

Thanks /Brittany
