A/N I wrote this when the show was still on about season two or three and I decided to work on it a lot and this is as far as I've gotten on it so far. Believe it or not, I used to suck a lot more than I used to. Enjoy!

"Okay let's stop talking about Bonnie and me," Jeremy sits next to me, our backs against our living room couch, talking while he plays a bloody video game just like we used to do when we were closer.

"Okay..." I reply, texting Caroline back, telling her to tell Stefan (her new BFF) I'm spending the day with Jer' and am not going to the grill for lunch today.

"Let's talk about you and Stefan. You guys have be fighting lately." He raises his eye brows.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I saw you two arguing in town square yesterday. In fact, I think the whole town saw it." He pauses the game and turns to look at my embarrassed face as I remember last monday after school where I indeed got into an argument with Stefan:

I walk hand in hand with stefan past the statue in the middle of town, sharing our similar respect for Shakespears plays as I slowly die from boredom.

"So Caroline told me you're going out tonight." He said with a little playful jealousy.

"Yeah, Caroline, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler are going to follow Alaric to the grill and I opted to join them. Why?" We stop and he looks me in the eye like he wants to say something.

"I... Never mind." He continues to walk.

"Okay..." I try to ignore that. "Do you wanna... Hang out at my place till I go or should I just skip it all together." I try not to sound snooty.

"Elena..." He tries.

"No. I'm sorry. I'm just pissed off at Jeremy for something..."

"That's a lie. What's really wrong?" He broods, as usual.

"It's just... We never have any fun anymore. We haven't had a lazy weekend in a month." We've stopped again.

"Well I'm sorry I've been too busy with your safety." He spits back.

"That's the thing. Stop worrying about me and let loose for once." I coax.

"You're starting to sound like Damon." He scowls.

" How is this now about him!" I attempt to keep calm.

"If you want to be around someone who doesn't care about anything, go to him." He tries to turn but I grab his forearm and force him to face me.

"Don't say things like that. He's your brother and you know he cares." I defend.

"Why do you always take his side with things?" He raises his voice.

"You know I don't always-" He cuts me off.

"Yes you do!"

"Well maybe it's because he needs somebody to be there for him!" I look around to see a few people staring but others try to ignore our display.

"Can we not do this here." He clearly notices too.

"Fine." I turn and stomp in the direction we came, hoping to get to my car before people start whispering.

"Yeah... I guess we've been having problems." I look at him.

"Since when do you fight about Damon?" He mumbles.

"It's either about Damon or some supernatural danger." I shrug. "But I love him so I guess I have to persist, you know..."

"I know you love him but... Are you still in love with him?" He asks with complete seriousness.

"I don't know..."
