Elena spent several hours just driving around. She needed to clear her head. When she got home again she heard someone doing something in the kitchen, she assumed it was Damon. But it wasn't. She went into the kitchen where she saw Stefan making coffee.
"Hey..." She said while looking down to her keys in her hands.
"Hey." He said while smiling slightly.
"Where's.."
"He left shortly after you.. Did you guys have an argument or something?"
Elena nodded. "I found out about the sirebond Stefan. I know that he knew all the time."
Stefan walked over to her. "Elena he .. he took his stuff and went out of the door without saying a word. I don't know if he's coming back.."
Elena's eyes filled with tears "Everything was a lie Stefan.. You came back and everything changed and I don't know how or why and Bonnie said you broke through the sire bond and I don't even know how that's possible and then there are these feelings that came back to me." Elena took a deep breath.
"Yeah that happens when you break through the sire bond it brings all the feelings back that have been repressed.. I.. I spent the last 3 years looking for an option to do it." He smiled slightly and stroke a strand of her hair.
"But why.. why now?" A single tear rolled down Eleana's face.
"Something always brings me back to you."
Elena cleared her throat. There it was again. All the feelings that the sire bond had held back, Elena could feel them again. She looked straight into Stefan's eyes and it seemed like she could actually look down into his soul.
"Stefan I-" She searched for her words.
"Shh I know, I know me too Elena but.. you're still married to Demon. Please don't make things even more complicated." He shook his head but Elena knew what she had to do.
"No Stefan let me say it.. I.. I love you Stefan. I'm sorry that I hurt you so much but I.. I'm so sorry." Her eyes filled with tears again.
Stefan sighed and hugged Elena tightly. "I know.. I love you too. I've always loved you." He lifted her chin up and looked deep into her eyes. "But we can't do this right now okay. You have to talk to Damon, Elena. You owe that to him."
"Stefan I owe nothing to him anymore, he knew Stefan all this time he knew. I.. Stefan please."
"Good night Elena." He gave her a very long kiss on the cheek and within less than a milli second he had gone upstairs.
Elena touched her cheek. She couldn't even tell why suddenly a slight smile appeared on her face.
