'Today is the big day', I thought as I saw myself in the mirror. I'm going to marry the man I love. At least the man I think I love.

'Of course you love him Elena!', I told myself, 'Damon would do anything for you and he will never hurt you.'

But wouldn't he do the same? I'm absolutely sure he would have done that. Until that summer I was absolutely sure that he would do that.

'Elena you can't think about him on your wedding day!', I ordered myself. But I couldn't help it. My thoughts drifted over to him. Stefan. My first and big love and now I'm going to marry his brother. Something is totally wrong with that.

But always, when I think about Stefan that summer comes back to my mind. He had given himself over to Klaus only to save Damon's life. He sacrificed our wonderful relationship. Then he left Mystic Falls and my life became a living hell. I missed him so fucking much; I thought I wouldn't survive it. I missed lying in his arms, I missed his embraces, I missed his kisses, and I missed his scent… I missed him.

As we had found Stefan in Chicago I thought Damon and I could bring him back home. Back to me. How naïve I was. The only thing we got was Stefan breaking up with me. He didn't want to be with me, he even said he doesn't love me. I thought it couldn't get worse but I was wrong. The night in the gym was one of the worst nights in my life. He was compelled by Klaus to kill Dana and her friend, he also was compelled to kill me when the clock runs down. He fought against killing me, because he loved me, I was the one who kept him from giving up. Stefan told me to run when the clock runs down, so did I but Klaus caught me. As we went to the cafeteria Stefan was there trying to stake himself. He wanted to kill himself so he wouldn't have to kill me. But then Klaus compelled him to turn his emotions off and the next thing I know is that Stefan bit me. I had hope that he would come back, that he would get his emotions back. As Lexi returned, she showed me how I could get his emotions back but I had never been able seeing Stefan getting hurt. Damon got Stefan out of the cellar and a few weeks later we tried to kill Klaus and Stefan wanted to help but in the end he was the one who saved Klaus. That was the point I lost hope for him coming back but I was so wrong. Stefan did only do that to save Damon's life because Klaus' hybrids would have killed Damon if he killed their creator. And what did I do?

I kissed Damon. Actually he kissed me but I didn't stop him. I welcomed the kiss. I told that to Stefan at the night we were at Abby's. I told him I kissed the Damon but that wasn't the point. But then I saw them. Emotions. In his eyes were pain, hurt and disappointment, just everything. He thought he had lost everything. That I don't love him anymore, that I love his brother, that he turned his emotions off just so Damon and I could come together without feeling guilty. That the only thing he has left is destroying Klaus.

'Enough Elena! You really can't think about him and then cry on your wedding day!'

Just the Caroline and Bonnie came in.

"Are you ready Elena? The people are waiting for you." Caroline said.

"Yes, I'm ready. We can go now." I answered.

"Wow, you look adorable. Damon's jaw will drop." Bonnie said.

I giggled. "Thank you Bonnie."

We all hugged and then Alaric came to lead me to the altar.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm ready to get married."

He chuckled.

"Then let's go!"

We walked into Mystic Falls' church and straight to the altar.

I saw Damon standing there in his beautiful black suit and his jaw literally dropped as he saw me in my wonderful white wedding dress. Bonnie was right, I looked adorable. But somehow I really wished the man standing there at the altar would be Stefan.

'Don't think about him! Not now!' I told myself.

Alaric gave my hand to Damon and the priest started to speak.

I looked at Damon and forced a smile. He looked at me with so much love in his eyes.

"You look beautiful" he whispered. Only I could hear it.

"Thank you" I whispered back.

He smiled and turned to the priest and then back to me.

I looked around and saw Jeremy sitting there hand in hand with Bonnie. Since when are they back together? Bonnie didn't tell me. But that's not a problem. They look so happy just like always before.

At least two of us.

The priest started to define love.

"The person you love is the one who is your best friend. Who understands you without words. Who you have the most fun with. Who respects your choices, no matter if they are stupid or good. Who always supports you in everything you do. Who you love more and more every day you spend together."

'Is this person Damon?' I asked myself. In the time before the sacrifice Stefan was the one who supported my choices. Who was okay with them. Who didn't force me to drink his blood so I can be a vampire, because I didn't want to be one.

Damon didn't support my choices. He didn't trust Elijah but Stefan did because I did. Damon didn't believe in my choices. He forced me to drink his blood so I would turn into a vampire and come back. So I wouldn't be gone. He didn't care that I didn't want to be a vampire. He acted selfish. Something Stefan never did.

Just then I heard footsteps. Someone was coming into the church. I looked around, wondering who it would be.

It got me in shock.

There at the entrance I saw him.

Stefan.
