First off let me say, this story will not follow the plot line of the books or of the tv show.

Infoyoushouldknow: The story will start a few days after Klaus finds out Elena is still alive in Mystic Falls only he and Rebekah have to leave suddenly when they find out the vampire hunter (Eric) has caught on to their trail again but Klaus promises Stefan he will be back and Elena will die, and trying to run will not help. Stefan tries getting Elena to leave but she says no, she doesn't want to leave. She knows Klaus won't be back for a while and she wants to spend as much time with her family as she can. Only Stefan and Elena have any idea that Klaus was there and she wants to keep it that way.

- Elena POV

Elena is sitting alone in her room. She's afraid again now that Klaus knows she's alive but at this point there's really not much she can do. So she and Stefan decided to keep it between them. She was tired of people dying for her and Jenna was the last straw. She refused to let someone else she loved die.

As she sat on her bed she couldn't help but remember the summer she spend looking for Stefan but now that he was back, things just didn't feel right. She couldn't pin point what had changed but she knew part of it was Damon. She couldn't stop thinking about him. Had her feelings changed? She knew she loved Stefan, he was her first love but part of her wondered if they were meant to last. Maybe their relationship had run it's course.

There was a knock on her door that shook her from her thoughts. "Come in." She said. Stefan walked in and sat next to her on the bed.

"You okay?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around her. Kissing her head gently.

"Yeah." She reassured him. She didn't want to tell him what she was thinking, not until she was sure how she felt.

"Okay, you ready for school?" he asked. She plastered a fake smile on her face that he couldn't see through.

"Sure," She started to say. "But I left my english book at your house, so we need to pick the up first."

"I'll meet you in the car then." He told her.

The car ride to Stefan's house was silent. But Elena felt a little excited thinking she might see Damon, it had been a few days since the last time they talked.

Stefan waited in the car while she went into the house. "Damon?" She called. He appeared in front of her with in seconds.

"What are you doing her?" He asked, a glass of blood in his hand.

"I came to pick up one of my school books." Her book was sitting on a table near the front door. She set it there last time she was over. "Just wanted to see how you were doing, I haven't seen you much since Stefan came back." She told him with a small smile on his face.

He looked her over before walking towards the parlor. "I'm fine. Just happy my brothers okay. Things good with you two?" He asked, not really wanting to know the answer. He sat down on the couch.

"Yeah, things are good. I really missed him." She responded.

"Good." He said with a hint of pain in his voice, he was hoping she didn't hear. "You better get going, don't want to be late for school."

"Yeah, I'll see ya later." She smiled at him before running back to the car.

-Damon POV

Damon sat on the couch. He finished off the blood in his glass happy that Elena had finally left. Now that Stefan was back, things were going back to normal. He just didn't know if he could live the way he was before. He was in love with Elena and watching her with Stefan just make it hurt 20 time worse. And he loved his brother to. He didn't want to have this hate towards him and he did not want to come between Elena and Stefan anymore.

She had said it herself, she loved Stefan not him and he was a fool to think that would ever change. The only thing left to do was leave. Get away from his brother and Elena. It wouldn't stop the pain but at least he could deal with it on his own without effecting everyone else. Most people though he was just a cut throat killer but that was a face he put on for other people. Part of him loved to kill but there was more to him then just that. It was just easier to flip the switch and cut off emotion, and that's what he'd been doing until he met Elena. She made him feel again. Thats why he had to leave. He did want to leave Elena but he know Stefan, Bonnie, and Caroline would protect her, and he would always be one call away. Maybe this time away would help him get over her? That was wishful thinking.

His mind was made up, after seeing her just now he knew what he had to do. So he packed a bag and was about to leave but knew she would hate him if he didn't at least explain or say goodbye. So he wrote her a letter explaining it all. He left one for Stefan as well and instructed he give the other letter to Elena. And that was it. He was out the door and out of Mystic Falls with in minutes.

-Stefan POV

Stefan had just gotten home after dropping off Elena. He could tell there was something she wasn't talking to him about. There was a gap between them but he didn't know how to fix it. He wondered what happened while he was gone. Maybe Damon knew? They had seemed to get closer after he left, which bugged him a bit.

"Damon?" He called for his brother but there was no answer. He started looking around the house when he found two letters, one for him and the other for Elena. He read the letter and he knew. He knew that Elena and Damon's friendship had grown and he was surprised at how jealous it made him. He wasn't worried about Damon and Elena before but now he wasn't sure. So he decided to keep the letter from Elena. He wanted her to think Damon had just left without saying goodbye. He knew it was wrong but he hoped it would stop Elena's feeling for Damon. He couldn't let her go.

So what do you guys think? Good? Bad? Please review and let me know! :D
