AN: For everyone, who is reading Lil' Sis, I'm having a little trouble with writing this next chapter. It's not that I'm stuck it's just I have too many ideas. Plus, I have a project I have to do at school.
Summary: What if instead of getting in the car with Katherine at the end of Homecoming, Stefan goes to the Grill, where Elena is waiting.
Flashback
Elena saw Stefan leave the party, knowing he was probably leaving for good, she ran after him.
"Stefan, wait. Don't go." Elena yelled, she sees Stefan stop, and turn.
"Elena, please just let me go." Stefan says meaning something else entirely.
"I won't, Stefan. I can't." She says with tears in her eyes, "Can we please just talk?"
"Ok, meet me at the Grill in 1 hour." He said.

Elena's POV
As I walk in the Grill, I see Stefan sitting at the table, in the corner. When I finally sit down, Stefan looks up, and I feel my heart fill with joy, in his eyes I see a little bit of love. He is letting his emotion back in I think that's good. "Hi." I say.
"Hi, Elena. How long will this take? I have things to do." He said with an edge to his voice, that if I had known better, I've been afraid.
"Can you just drop the act Stefan?" I ask desperately while sitting down.
"What act?" He says innocently.
"The one, where you act like a jack ass, just to hurt me. I'm tired of it because Stefan every time you act like it does hurt, it breaks my heart." I say trying not to cry.
"Then, why not move on?" He asks, I swear I can see just the faintest look of sadness cross his face.
"Because, try as I might I can't stop loving you. I don't have switch inside where I can turn my emotions of." I say looking into Stefan's eyes. "I. Love. You."
"You shouldn't." He says while looking down.
"I know, Stefan but I do, and nothing is going to change that. Please, just let it back in. Feel again. If not for me, Damon. He cares about you and you him."
"I don't know, Elena. I need a fresh start." He says looking anywhere at me.
"Stefan if you, truly feel the need to start somewhere away, from me. Prove it." I say daring him with my eyes.
"How?" Stefan asks.
"Kiss me." I say and seeing him about to object, "Stefan, if you kiss me and walk away. I promise, I'll move on."
"Ok." He says, and I'm surprised. I thought it was going to take a lot more than that to convince him. Slowly, I lean into him and close my eyes when our lips meet and let out a small moan. It feels like it's been years since we've kissed. I feel is tongue begging for entrance, and I open my mouth to allow it in, like so many times before. After a couple minutes, I pull away for a breath and Stefan rests his forehead against mine. And I ask him
"What's your decision?" In reply, he just leads me to his car, where he makes love to me.
Half an hour later
"So, I guess this means you're staying." I say and he just chuckles, bringing my lips back down to his.
