A/N Hey this is my first Vampire Diaries Fic! There are more than one chapter per page sometimes-please excuse the sloppiness but I think it could be a great story Please R&R love- Jess

I dont own The Vampire Diaries, only my ideas...tear =(

Chapter 1

I just stared at the ground as I walked into the front door of the Salvatore Boarding House.

" Stefan," I greeted with a glare. I was still upset about him not telling me about Katharine.

Ignoring my bad mood, Stefan wrapped me into a hug. "Where have you been? I have been worried sick. I am so sorry! I will never hurt you again. "

I refused to hug him back so he let go and I could finally speak. "I was in Georgia, Stefan. How could you lie to me?" my voice started to shake, "I thought you loved me, but know I am not sure."

" Sweetie…" Stefan reached to comfort me, but I just swatted him away. "No Stefan!" I was now more angry than I was sad. "I will not be some doppelganger, replacement, of her. I am Elena, not Katherine, but apparently you don't know the difference!" I was shocked with the power in my voice, not volume, just pure power. "I do, I promise just please….." Stefan begged, "I'll do anything just calm down"

I wanted to believe Stefan loved me, but there was only one way I could be certain, "Fine, I want you to burn that picture of her, please" The request was supposed to reassure me, not torture him, but when I looked up that was all I could see in his eye. "I can't Elena. She still means a lot to me, that picture is all I have left." I could not believe this. "Apparently she means a little too much to you," and I ran off crying.

Instead of running out of the house, like Stefan expected her to; Elena ran upstairs to Damon's room

Chapter 2

Wow that is sooo not what I expected! She really just told Stefan off…WooHoo that's my girl!

I was laying on my bed listening to the fighting going on below me. Stefan is finally getting what he deserves, I thought. How dare he lie to her? I mean at first I thought it was fun bringing Katherine up to make Elena jealous, but now that I know her; I had to tell her the truth. I mean how could he keep this from her if he cared for her? She was just so pure and innocent looking when she passed out in my arms; that when she woke up the pain in her eyes just broke my heart. She shouldn't have to go through that pain. Wait what? Since when do I think all emotional and sappy thoughts? I so spent too long with my brother. I decided to listen in on the fight downstairs and noticed that it was over.

I now expected them both to kiss and make up but it didn't happen. Instead, I heard footsteps that ended at me door. Less than a second later Elena was running at me and I caught her in my arms without thinking.

"What has St. Stefan done this time, Kitten?" I asked trying to sound annoyed, but truthfully I was concerned, before I zoned out she was in full control of the situation downstairs.

"He…He still loves her…" Elena said sobbing. "Did he tell you that?" I asked, already getting mad at Stefan for being so stupid. "No," she started, "He refused to burn her picture because he "cared" about her." She was beginning to calm down now and I relaxed my hold on her so she could sit up. "Elena, darling," I said, "He can still care about Katherine and love you at the same time. Trust me, you can feel two different emotions toward doppelgangers; it's possible." I smirked when I thought about how I could fix this.

"No you can't." Elena said, "it just seems like he views us as the same person." She truly could not understand. "Okay I have a way to make you understand, but I will need Bonnie's help." She smiled a sad smile "Damon, I don't think there is any way I could accept your explanation." "You'll see" I smirked at her before standing us up to get ready to go.
