A/N: This is officially a TWO-SHOT now. I don't really like how it turned out to be, but I kept editing it, so I decided to get it over with. Actually, since I don't have a beta reader yet, I had a friend of mine read it. Thanks Georgy! Anyway, enjoy!

Elena Gilbert woke up early next morning with a strange and unfamiliar feeling in her stomach. As it was too early to start getting ready for school, she picked up her journal. She had a very strange dream the previous night and wanted to write it down as if it would put her thoughts in order.

"Dear Diary,

First of all, I'm in love with Stefan. I don't even know what I wrote that for. Of course I love Stefan, one dream can't change that. However, it was really strange.

I watched my own body lying on my bed, not being able to sleep. When I finally did, I heard the window open and then I saw the last person I was prepared to see. Damon. What was he doing here? God, he was looking so good. I took just a glimpse of his perfectly sculpted body, for I was so mesmerized by his face that I couldn't look away. When I looked into his ice blue eyes, I didn't see sarcasm, or even lust. I saw pure love, an excruciating need, and it was something that left me speechless. I saw him crawl into my bed, careful not to wake me up. Then I saw my very own sleeping form getting closer and hugging him so tight like my whole life depended on it. He smiled. Why was I doing that in my sleep? That is a question I've failed to answer. Suddenly, everything got dark and I heard Damon whisper:"Goodnight princess. I love you. You will never know of course". Then, the words came out of my mouth spontaneously, without me even realizing it. "Damon…I love you, too", and I drifted back to sleep.

Why would I say such a thing to Damon? He's my boyfriend's brother, my friend. My best friend. I love him as a friend. He's nothing more.

I have to go to school now."

Elena spent the entire day at school in Stefan's embrace, laughing. She seemed really happy. However, she couldn't stop thinking about the other Salvatore brother.

When she arrived back home, she went to her room, lied on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She had a strange feeling of something(or somebody) missing. As she couldn't stop thinking about Damon, she realized something she kept denying, so she grabbed her journal and begun writing:

"Dear Diary,

It's pointless to deny it anymore. I'm in love with Damon. I mean, Stefan is always so nice to me and I will always love him; but things with Damon are different. I think he is the one. I can't believe I didn't realize it. But now I know.

I love everything about him. It's not because of his absolutely flawless body, not even because of his stunning face. It's the way he says my name, the way I feel when I see him, how there's always something missing when he's away. It's also his smirk and that little thing he does with his eyes. It makes me melt every time. But what I love the most about Damon, is that I can be myself around him, that he lets his walls down when we're together. He allows me to see who he really is and takes off the mask he has for everyone else. I'm so lucky I get to see the real him.

He's the only one that never compares me to Catherine. I know he doesn't and that makes me feel so special.

Isobel said that Damon is in love with me and maybe he is. But it doesn't matter. Not now. I'm with Stefan. I will not let history repeat itself. I will not be like Katherine. As much as it hurts me, I can't hurt them. I will stay with Stefan. I will get Damon out of my heart."

The last words Elena had written became blurry before she even realized she was crying. She knew that was the only way. She cried herself to sleep. She knew that from now on, she could only see him in her dreams.
