'"Damon, I love you. More than anything. And it's not brotherly love either. It's the kind of love you'd have for a soul mate...and I think that's what you are. My soul mate" I say, then get up and walk out, leaving Damon sit there, stunned and speechless.'
2 Days Later
Stefan's POV
For two days I have been avoiding Damon. Ever since I confessed my love for him I have been avoiding him. So far, it has been working. Elena doesn't hate me because of what I said while drunk. She blames my attitude on the alcohol I consumed that night. She has no clue I meant every word I said. But, I go along with it because I'm trying to avoid Damon and pretending as if I care about the bitch might do me some good...might.
At the moment I am at the Grill with Elena and we are talking...or rather she is talking. I'm not listening to a damn word she is saying and I am thinking about what I said to Damon. Just then, Damon walks in. He looks around and when he see's Elena, he smiles and walks over, sitting down beside her and across from me. He completely ignores me and focus' on Elena...almost completely. I catch him looking at me sometimes and when he does look at me, I see a glint in his eyes. But each time I catch him, he looks back at Elena before I can decipher what's in his eyes. After about ten minutes, Damon and Elena get into an argument.
"Come on, Elena! I'm just trying to protect you! And so is he!" Damon says, nearly yelling at Elena.
"Trying to protect me? By telling Jeremy he can help?! That's not trying to protect me, Damon. That's trying to get my brother killed" Elena nearly yells right back at Damon. Damon scoffs and rolls his eyes. Just then, the topic of discussion walks in. Jeremy see's Elena, me and Damon and walks over. Elena turns her anger on him.
"You're not helping Jeremy. You're going to get yourself hurt" Elena says to him sternly. Jeremy's eyes widen at the sudden outburst, then he rolls them.
"I'm helping Elena. I'm not going to just sit here and watch you get yourself killed. I'm not letting Klaus do that!" Jeremy says. Elena stands up, about to say something else when Damon says something.
"I agree with Jeremy because I'm not letting that happen either. Klaus will die, one way or the other and you will be safe" says Damon, his expression saying that it's the end of discussion. Elena glares at Damon.
"No. Absolutely not! Neither one of you are going to get yourself killed over me. Jeremy, you're not helping and Damon just stop already! Stop trying to save me and stop trying to get everyone against me that way you can save me. Just stop!" Elena shouts. She can't talk to him like that! I think, anger starting in me.
"Elena! Don't talk to them like that! They're just trying to help you!" I shout at her. She is just as surprised by my outburst as Damon and Jeremy. She is so surprised that she instantly calms down and sits back down. I take a deep breath and calm myself down. Damon grins at me. Again, I see something in his eyes but this time it disappears before I can tell what it is.
"Thank you Stefan. I think we are all in agreement" Damon says, looking back at Elena who huffs and glares at him. I bite back a laugh at the way she is acting. Elena stands up, still glaring at Damon.
"Come on Stefan. Let's go home" says Elena, motioning for me to follow her. I don't want to come with her but I would rather go with her than stay here with Damon. With that in mind, I stand up and reluctantly follow Elena out the door and to her car, getting in.
We drive to her house and the drive takes about five to ten minutes and it's killing me. It's killing me because Elena won't shut up and it's getting hard not to just yell at her to shut up. When we pull up, she shuts her car off and we get out. She laces our fingers together as she opens her front door. We walk inside and I tell her to go on up and that I will be there soon. She nods, kisses my cheek and goes up the stairs. I wait till her door is closed to turn around. I want to just walk out of the house but I stop dead in my tracks. Damon stands there, smirking, that glint in his eyes.
"Going somewhere brother?" he asks. I shake my head.
"No. I was just...going to the kitchen to get Elena a drink of water" I say, walking into the kitchen. I grab a glass and fill it up with water from the sink. I feel Damon's eyes on me and I know he is standing in the door of the kitchen. But when I turn around, he is right in front of me. I jump slightly and thankfully, I don't drop the glass in my hand. Damon nods.
"Sure you were...Stefan?" Damon says, my name being a question.
"What?" I say, slightly afraid of what he will say or do to me. He smiles, probably seeing the fear in my eyes.
"You wouldn't be...avoiding me, would you?" Damon asks. My eyes widen slightly and I pray he doesn't see it.
"What? No! Why would I be avoiding you? I have no reason to. I mean, it's not like I actually meant what I said at the grill" I say, stalling nervously. Damon notices and grins.
"Oh really?" he says, stepping closer to whisper in my ear. "I think you are" I can't think of a thing to say so I just duck out under him and rush up the stairs. I hear him chuckle lowly before I hear the whoosh that means he is gone. I open Elena's bedroom door and walk in, handing her the glass of water. She smiles at me and I sit down on her bed beside her. For the next hour or two, we talk about everything, including the upcoming dance.
