Chapter 1

As I woke up everything from the night before hit me. How I looked like her, it was like looking in a mirror me but a different time, the same long brown hair as mine, the same brown eyes as mine everything between us was the same apart from two things, first she was long gone, dead, Secondly she broke both of the Salvatore brothers hearts.

"Morning" I heard a husky voice say as I opened my eyes to reveal I was sat in a car with the oldest Salvatore brother, Damon.

"Where are we?" I asked moments later

"Georgia" he answered with the ' Damon smirk' on his face which always made me think why I picked the other brother, even thought I would never admit it. All of a sudden panic over whelmed me.

"Georgia, no, no where not, seriously Damon where are we?"

"Seriously where in Georgia his smirk gone how you feeling?"

"I feel my-"

"Well there's no broken bones, I checked" suddenly I remembered the man and my car.

"My car, there was a man, I hit a man but then he got up who was that?"

"That's what I would like to know" he answered with that smirk. Another thought shot through my head . This was getting annoying now.

"Where's my phone? Ok, we really need to go back no one knows where I am pull over, I mean it Damon pull over stop the car" I shouted having a break down.

"You where so much more fun when you where asleep" he answered stopping the car.

"Thank you" I said as I tried to get out the car it was a sunny day very hot all I wanted to know was what I wanted. I knew as much as I had just begged Damon to take me home I didn't want to go as HE was there Stefan. HE was the reason I was in my car upside down the night before the reason I was in Georgia with his brother. HE had to find a replacement for the bitch and by the looks of it I did the job very well. I wanted to keep on driving anywhere as long as I wasn't near HIM my family Jenna and Jeremy was back in mystic falls but I knew HE wouldn't hurt them or at least hoped.

"Do you like me because I look like her?" I suddenly asked finally standing up then falling over again caught by Damon and his vamp speed.

"Do you like being up close and personal with the floor Elena?" He asked sarcastically "no I don't you may look like her on the out side but on the inside your" he paused thinking of the right word "your, you, if my brothers only reason for courting you is because you look like her then he is even more stupid than I thought, you Elena" he said making me face towards him "you are the most beautiful, caring person I have met if my brother lets go of you he is going to be the most stupid none living, living person I have ever met. If I had you I would never let you go." He said the last bit in a whisper then kissed my forehead. I didn't know what to say did he tell me he loved me in fewer words was he saying I should take Stefan back even thought he only thought of me as Katherine. My thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing.

"Pick it up" I said knowing he had it in his pocket. He reached in his pocket keeping one arm firmly around my waist.

"Hello Elena's phone" he finally answered "well I don't think she wants to talk to you" he replied back into the phone "it's Stefan he wants to talk to you" he said switching his attention on to me

"Pass it here" I told him dully "hello" I said into the phone

"Elena is that you? where are you? I'll come for you" the family voice of Stefan answered

"Who do you think it is Katherine?" I said bitterly

"It's not what you think"

"What is it then because by the looks of it it's not Damon who has been trying to save her for the last 100 odd year , it's been you, you made me love you so you could be with her but I was never and will never be her sorry to disappoint you" I shouted then waited a few seconds for him to say something

"I never saw you as Katherine" he replied moments later "I knew from the second I saw you in the car the night your parents died that you weren't her I knew you couldn't be you father told me to take care of you now come home for heavens sake"

"That's low even for your standards Stefan a old sad story about how you saved me from drounding the night of my parents death well sorry to tell you this Lexi beat you to it" I shouted nearly crying I could feel damons arm tighten I took a big gulp to try and hold the tears back thinking about my parents death "it's over what ever it was what ever YOU made it out to be it is over!" I screamed then finally give the phone back to Damon as he twisted me around and hugged me.

"Now you have got Elena upset is they anything else you want or did you just want to make her life a living hell" Damon said in to the phone "no I have not compelled her, my love is real not fake just so I can feel like I'm with some one else" he said in to the phone "yes I do know what love is I felt it once long before Katherine but obviously the bitch killed her when she knew I wouldn't love her if she was still in the picture" he added moments later "I'm already dead" he said moments later "ok you have a good day now" he suddenly added on then ended the phone call. I was still crying a bit when he had both hands free again.

"What did you mean by that?" I asked lifting my head up from his chest to look into his bright blue eyes

"By what?" He said looking down at me

"Your love is real" I quoted

"My love is real you really don't know the meaning of that Elena?" He said sarcastically

"No love for who"

"Now that would be telling"

"Please tell me"

"Only if you tell me why your still here and not ran for the hills yet"

"Ok deal you first though"

"Ok no fair though"

"It is fair" I interrupted

"Do you want me to tell you or not"

"Yes tell me" I said with puppy dog eyes

"I love ….. You, Elena" he said lifting a strand of hair out of my face. I stood there in shock then everything went black.
