okay so back to Stefan...this is Elena and Stefan to be exact...Stefan tells Elena the truth...
CHAPTER 4
Elena watched as Stefan came down the stairs. He looked as though he were sad, even more so than usual. She began to approach him, but Stefan shook his head.
" Elena, there's something I need to tell you."
Elena nodded, but didn't reply. Stefan swallowed hard, then began to speak.
" I never loved Katherine and neither did Damon."
Elena looked at Stefan in confusion.
" But he wanted to get Katherine out of the tomb."
Stefan nodded.
" To throw me off."
Elena's eyes narrowed at him.
" What are you trying to tell me Stefan?"
Stefan took a deep breath.
" Damon is love with me and I'm in love with him."
Elena's jaw dropped open. She didn't know what to say. She could get upset, she could even go upstairs and take the cure from Damon, but none of that would help.
" Then why did you pretend to love me?"
Stefan let out a breath.
" I didn't pretend. I do love you, but not the same way I love Damon."
Elena didn't speak for a moment, attempting to let her brain process this new information. Stefan took a step forward.
" Elena..."
Elena shook her head.
" Don't Stefan. It's okay."
Stefan's eyes widened.
" It is?"
Elena nodded, then laughed.
" I always knew I'd lose you to Damon, but never like this."
