I'm so sorry I haven't written lately, exams have taken up most of my time but I will post chapters as fast as I can. Thanks for reading :)

"You may be a vampire but I'm still human. I have needs." Lana said in the back seat of the car. Her groaning had made the road trip seem longer then the hour we thought it would be. It was also longer due to the fact that Silas didn't stop moving. I didn't know where he was taking them. We just had to find them. We had to find Stefan.
"We have catered to your needs every ten minutes. How many times do you need to go toilet?" Damon said exasperated. "Every time we stop, it means we are less closer to finding my brother."
"I have a weak bladder." She shrugged. "But you know I am curious. I thought you of all people would be the least excited to find him."
"He's my brother." Damon said simply. I had a small smile on my face. I love the bond that they had. Even through everything, they still had each other's backs.
"He's also the love of your life's true love." She said, "I mean if I was you I would say good riddance." Damon's eyes flickered towards me but he didn't say anything. "Oh, is it a touchy subject?" She said offhandedly.
"Can we just drop it?" I told her. I had enough of her talking.
"Why? So you don't have to feel guilty? You know Damon and I are both the same. We've both been screwed over by people who we thought truly loved us. Instead we were just obstacles in their paths." She said curling her hair around her fingers.
"I do love him!" I said raising my voice at her. I saw her smirk at my reaction.
"More then Stefan?" She asked but before I could answer Damon stopped the car.
"This is the last stop, you hear me?" Damon told her turning around in the driver's seat. She nodded and got out of the car. Damon and I sat there, awkwardly, before he got out of the car too.

He leaned on the outside of the car, looking off into the distance. I could see worry lines on his face. Even though Stefan and him didn't say it, I knew they meant a lot to each other. Here stood the man that I love but I couldn't shake Stefan out of my thoughts. Was it because he was in danger? Or was Lana right? Was Stefan the love of my life?.. I looked over at him again. She was wrong. Lana was wrong. Damon wasn't the obstacle in the path of my relationship with Stefan. I was the obstacle in their path. In Damon and Stefan's brotherly love for each other. I had told myself that I would never be like Katherine. I would never toy with their love but here, unconsciously, I was. I guess Katherine and I were more alike then I had thought or wanted. I had to do the unselfish thing.

I got out of the car and stood in front of him. We both looked at each other for a while before I spoke. It was like we both knew what was about to happen and both of us didn't like it. It was what was needed though.
"Please let me speak. I have to say this because it's something that I think needs to be said. I can't keep hurting you." I took a deep breath as I looked into his blue eyes. I started remembering the Summer full of passion that we had. The happiness that had overwhelmed me during those special few months. Then I started remembering the joy I had with Stefan. "Each day since I met you, my hate for you grew into love. I knew that those feelings couldn't be buried and then one day it was too much. That Summer we had was full of passion and love. I was happy. It was more then I could ever ask for. But there was something, a feeling." I paused for a second. Damon was about to say something but I stopped him. "I want to say that I love you completely with all my heart... But I can't. It would be a lie. I can't seem to shake the love I have for Stefan. I always have."
"So you pick him?" Damon said creasing his eyebrows.
"No, no. I want you both to happy. I don't deserve either of you. You deserve to enjoy life and be happy and fall in love with a girl that loves you with all her heart. Both of you do. I won't pick either of you." I said in a small voice. "If I don't walk away, I'll forever be hurting both of you. It pains me to hurt you, both. And if I didn't, soon enough you will hate me more then you will hate if I did walk away now."
He just looked at me. There was a finality that felt like it was coming for a long time. I think we both knew.
"So this is it?" He said to himself more then he said to me. I just nodded slightly, giving him a moment to himself. He was looking at the ground, his hand clenched. After a moment, he unclenched his hands and looked back up at me. "I wish that you could love me with all your heart like I love you." He said and there was something new about him that I hadn't seen before. I tried to hold back the tears.
"Me too." I said quietly and we just stared at each other. It was like we were the only one's here... But we weren't.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here. I didn't think it would be this easy. I thought you would be smarter then that but I guess not." I heard a voice from behind me. Silas.
"How did-"
"From my friend, Lana." He said with a smile. For some reason, I wasn't that surprised. I knew that there was something that she wasn't telling us... that so happened to be that she was working for Silas. I clenched my teeth. "I believe you and me need to have a talk." He said looking directly at me.
