I had always been there, always watched from the side lines but never once told him how I felt. How could I when I was the friend, the one who he always turned to when he had girl troubles. How could I ruin that?

So here I stood in the shadows, him completely oblivious to my ever growing affections.

Then he did the unthinkable and dated my best friend.

She knew, she knew how I felt about him yet she still said yes.

So I dated his friend.

Matt Donovan, the last man in the world I would want to be with but I had to make him pay.

Yet still he was blind.

Even Matt knew, heck everyone did, all but him-the one that mattered.

When Caroline slept with him, I couldn't take it anymore.

The pain was becoming unbearable.

When I found out he was a part of the mythical world that I had been forcefully drug into, I held hope.

I had long since broken up with Matt in favor of a vampire, hoping to gain his attention but he was once again ever oblivious or too wrapped up in Caroline.

Then he was forced to become something, unheard of by vampires-a hybrid, and he would die without my help.

The hope returned like a freshly sprung well, if I could save him maybe he would see that it was only him for me.

When he jumped back into her arms, I almost gave up.

If only I was brave, brave enough to confess how I really felt then maybe he would see me.

But he will never see me.

Me-Elena Gilbert.

He will never see that I love him with everything I am.

He will never see that I want him- Tyler Lockwood- as he is.

A/N. Ok this is a little odd, I know. It was something that came to me while listening to A Perfect Circle-3 Libras. And yes I know the events in this tidbit are out of chronological order.
