This idea just came into my head. So I sat down to write and just came up with a bunch of stuff. I know where I want to go with it. Let me know what you guys think of it! :)

~Prologue~

April 2014

She doesn't even have to turn around to know who followed her up here. All she wanted was five minutes to compose herself after their fight. She knew the minute the person who was staring daggers at her, she was positive of that, saw them that there would be a confrontation.

"What do you want Katherine?"

"I want what I have always wanted. You gone."

"Why?"

"It's simple really. I. Hate. You."

"Well Katherine, I hate you too. It's old news. I'd ask you why you hate me considering I never did anything to you but I don't need to ask something I already know."

"Enlighten me then darling. I'd love to hear it." The saccharine laced voice goes right through her. She wishes he could see how fake she was.

"I have what the others didn't. Sage wanted him to be just like her, Lexi wanted him to be some better version of what she thought he should be, Rose just wanted someone to replace the love she lost and Andie wanted to make her way to the top any way she could. I know him, all of him, all the bad and all of the good. I've seen it and I love him despite it all. I have never wanted him for any other reason that I just love him. I don't want to change him. I never have. You can say you loved him longer and I do believe you love him in some way but I can love him better. I do love him. Stefan is one of my best friends Katherine. He told me that you thought Damon loved me. You saw that I make him happy the way he deserves, even if he doesn't know how I love him. That's why you went after him. You knew Stefan would never choose me over you, but Damon was tired of waiting for you. That's when Sage and the others came into the picture. When he was tired of all of them he came home. To me. I am his home Katherine. You can be his slut, you can be his wife, but you will never be his home. So when you saw that you were losing him you had to pull him back in. Why won't you just let him go Katherine? We both know you are in love with Stefan."

"Not long ago you were in love with Stefan."

"If you were in love with the first person you would have never fell in love with the second."

"I did."

"No! You fell in love with Stefan first, you were never in love with Damon. Even he knows that deep down. He did everything he could to get you to give him a chance and you threw it back in his face by dating his brother. How he forgave you I will never know."

"If he knows that deep down then why is he with me Elena? Why is he not here with you?"

Her taunting is the worst because it has a purpose. That's what hurts Elena most of all. Katherine being right, when she's just so wrong.

"Because he so wants to believe that the first person he fell in love with loves him back. Because he wants to believe he is your first choice, not Stefan."

"Oh Elena, you were always the love sick one. Here's the thing Ms. do the right thing all the time, like you said he doesn't know you love him. You are his best friend and that's all your ever going to be. Even if he thought for a second he did love you I am the one he's going to marry him."

The word marry hits her like a ton of bricks. The breath is knocked right out of her. All she knows is he can't marry her. She has known marriage was a possibility but it never seemed real until she heard the confirmation from Katherine.

"Why?"

"Because I can."

"Can't you just give me a real answer? You know Damon loves you, you know Stefan is in love with you so why hurt both of them?"

"You know the answer to that. Damon is the head of Salvatore Enterprises. He is powerful, and strong. I like strong and powerful Elena. Stefan knows that. He also knows I love him, and that he will always be my first choice. Again dear, as per your words, I do love Damon, and I just as much love using your own words against you."

"You have both the Salvatore's wrapped around your finger and I just don't see how they don't see what a manipulative bitch you are. They will, one day and you will be so sorry."

"Is that a threat?"

"It's a promise."

"And what are you going to do? Tell Damon? Stefan loves Damon too much to come between his brother and the girl his brother has loved for so long. That's why he let me go. Not because I was a fling or he didn't love me. Damon knows a part of me always will love Stefan, but he thinks I'm in love with him. That's what matters. He will never believe what you say."

"I will though."

They both turn with a gasp to see the man in the door way. Elena can tell by his face he heard the whole conversation.

In that moment her heart breaks for both brothers. She knows there is a real possibility that Katherine's love will cause the brothers hate for one another that neither might be able to forgive.

So which brother do you think heard their conversation?
