Elena. Elena Gilbert was a normal 18 years old girl, beside the fact that she had a vampire as a boyfriend. She met Stefan, Stefan Salvatore, a few months later her parents death. Stefan had been fresh air, they helped each other a lot and got through a lot of things together. She couldn't be more grateful to him, because he made her feel alive again. And the same she did to him.

But Elena had a big guilt, that she had tried to deny for months, pointlessy. She was in love with Stefan's brother, Damon. She loved Stefan, really, but she totally fell for Damon and there wasn't a thing she could do about it. Yeah he was drop dead hot, an handsome cocky guy and a lot more things for you could fall for. But it wasn't just for that. She's seen the real Damon, the one he always tried to hide to everyone. And he was perfect. A strong, protective, smart man who would do anything for the ones he love, and he truly deserved a lot of happiness. The best things in this world.

But she ignored him, she treated him like shit because she just couldn't accept the fact of being in love with him. She pushed him away with her head, while her heart was tellina her to keep him close and never letting go. But it sounded so wrong and unfair for Stefan. Everything changed when a night he came in her room, and confessed crystal clear his love for her, then compelling her to forget, obviously not knowing that she had drunk a vervain tea so she remembered each thing that he said that night. It has been a few months, and now Damon was with a reporter girl name Andie. They seemed really happy. Yes, he moved on. Or at least, she thought so…

It was 5pm and Elena went to the Boarding House. Stefan and Damon have decided to change wallpapers in the living room and they wanted her advice for the colour.

"Hey? Guys? I'm here." she said softly.

Stefan arrived in front of her in a second and kissed her gently on the lips. "Hey. I missed you.. I can't wait for you to see those colors, I know that they seem all the same but it's not like that I promise. Damon obviously disagrees..", Stefan said rolling his eyes.. when she heard Damon's name, a little smile appeared on her face.

Stefan went to the living room, while Elena went to the chicken to take a glass of water. "Hi beautiful." she heard a voice, his voice, from behind and he put a kiss on her cheeck stroking her shoulder. Damn Damon. The only touch of him made her shiver.

"So? I heard the "big" news! Finally you two decided to change those walls, it was time don't you think?" Elena said with a smile on her face, crossing her arms.

"Oh, I don't know, for me it's the same. It's always St. Stefan who wants these type of changes. I couldn't give a fuck, but you know me, just the thought of teasing him and disagree with him making him mad makes me pass some qualità time." he said with a smirk.

"God, you never change, do you? You're so mean! Poor Stefan!" she said punching him in the shoulder to joke. He faked pain and Elena rolled her eyes.

Then.. there she was. Of corse she was, that bitch was always here. "Hey Elena! How are you?" Andie said with a big smile. "Hey. Fine. Thanks." Elena said with a so fake smile, that even Andie and Damon, who gave her a "WTF?" glance, noticed.

Oh God, she was being every day more obvious. But she just couldn't help herself, she couldn't watch Damon with another woman, knowing that that woman could have been her.

A little emarassed for the gaffe, she opted to join Stefan in the living room. "Elena, here you are. So… beige, or this other type?" she focused very well on the two colors on the book, and then said "Sorry Stefan, but to me they seem all the same. I don't have your vampire look or something like that! Sorry!". "Oh.." Stefan said a bit disappointed, "Maybe Damon was right."

"Told ya' little bro, they're all the same. And don't worry Elena, even with my vampire look, I can't tell the difference too." he said giving her a flirtarious smile, which she returned, almost enchanted. When Andie noticed the share of looks, she suddenly went near Damon kissing him. Which annoyed him a little, and made Elena unconfortable. And Andie knew that.

"Why don't we go to the Grill? I'm hungry, and Damon promised that tonight he would have take me out. But I don't mind if you two guys come with us." Andie said giving Elena a cocky and knowing smile. Damon just rolled his eyes at Andie's affirmation, like he really gave a crap about taking her out. Well, maybe not her, but the other her… with pleasure.

"Okay, why not." Elena affirmed smiling. Stefan nodded and they all exited the boarding house.
