Stop Listening to Your Head & Start Listening to Your Heart
Elena, Tatia, Katherine and Damon had all arrived back at the boarding house and Elena took Damon up to his room so that he would clean himself up. Tatia and Katherine were in the parlour and started talking about Elena and Damon, "Elena and Damon are starting to get really close." said Tatia and Katherine scoffed.
"She won't even admit that she has strong feelings for Damon. She's been lying to everyone including herself that she doesn't feel anything for him but clearly she does." replied Katherine.
Tatia eyed Katherine for a few minutes, "And you Katerina? Who have you chosen?"
Katherine stopped in her tracks and stared down at Tatia, "I will always choose Stefan. I have since I first met him. Damon was just a distraction."
Tatia nodded in understanding, "I see. So he's always second best but clearly he has to be first choice now. It's not fair on him of being someone's pet or chew toy. Katerina, I have watched all of you for centuries. If you care about Stefan then try and swoop in and be nice for a change and stop being a heartless bitch. You weren't like that when you were still human. Believe me, I did. I chose Elijah over Niklaus. It was the right decision."
Katherine hesitated and sghed, "It's hard, you know? Loving two brothers who are obviously in love with your doppleganger. But I don't get why Stefan's been lying to Elena and Damon's always truthful."
"To protect the woman that they love. Love is a vampire's most greatest weakness, Katerina. You know that beause you were in love with the both of them but you love the youngest Salvatore more. It's the same with Elena except she's more in love with the older Salvatore. I know how she feels." explained Tatia and Katherine sat next to her. They both stopped talking when Elena came downstairs.
"Hey." said Elena.
"Hey." replied Tatia and Katherine in unison.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Tatia and Katherine both exchanged a quick glance at each other and back at Elena, "We were just talking about you and the Salvatores, and about me and the Mikaelson brothers. I was just saying to Katerina about how I've chosen Elijah over Niklaus and her chosen Stefan over Damon and then we were talking about you choosing Damon over Stefan." explained Tatia.
Elena looked at both of them with wide eyes filled with curiosity, shock and disbelief, "What? I chose Stefan. Not Damon. Why would you say that?"
"Oh for the love of God, Elena! Because it's true. You feel so much more towards Damon than you do to Stefan. Stefan has lied to you for the past couple of years whilst Damon has told you the truth. He's saved you more than Stefan has. When are you gonna stop listening to your head and start listening to your heart for a change? Your head is screaming for Stefan but your heart is doing the same but it's screaming for Damon. You have a choice to make, Elena but I have a feeling that you're gonna follow your heart. If your head is screaming for Stefan, tell it to shut the hell up and let your heart guide you to Damon. Okay?" said Katherine and both Tatia and Elena stood frozen and stared at Katherine. Like since when has Katherine gave positive advise? No-one knows.
"Katerina's right, Elena. I would follow your heart instead of your head. You're gonna have to speak to the both of them individually. Give each other time to readjust." agreed Tatia.
Elena nodded and went to look for Stefan. Stefan was in his room writing in his journal and he's been tapping his fingers on the desk out of irritation. He's been avoiding everyone for the past couple of days because he wanted to come up with a plan to kill Klaus and the other of the Originals. He hadn't notice Elena at the door, "Stefan we need to talk."
Stefan looked up, "Oh? What about?"
Elena walked a little closer, "It's about us. I haven't realised that we've been falling apart until now."
Stefan looked down and sighed, "I know we have been falling apart. I lost you from the moment I left with Klaus. Damon was the one who stayed behind and protect you and now you and Damon have been getting a lot closer."
"Yeah we have been getting a lot closer but that's just friendship nothing more." Elena said as she took a couple of steps closer.
"It's my fault. This is my fault. It's all my fault." rambled Stefan as he turned his back towards Elena.
"What do you mean it's your fault?" asked Elena with curiosity and confusion.
"I mean that you are also in love with Damon." Stefan turned back around and faced her.
Elena furrowed her eyebrows, "What? No Stefan..."
"No it's okay but I want you to look me straight in the eyes and tell me...that you don't feel something for him." he whispered to her as he stroked her cheek lightly.
Elena hesitated for a few minutes and then she answered, "I don't know what I feel. I love both of you but differently."
Stefan looked down and looked back up at her. He then walked out of the room leaving Elena standing there. She sighed and walked out of Stefan's room and went to look for Damon. She had some unshed tears in her eyes and she fought back of letting the tears fall. She was near Damon's room now and she peeked inside and saw Damon lying on his bed sound asleep. She smiled and went in and shut the door behind her. She then quietly walked over to the bed and hopped up and layed beside him whilst laying her head on his bare chest. She felt him move a little and felt his arm wrapped around her waist and she fell asleep with a small smile on her face.
