We sat there for a while just talking about anything and everything. I didn't remember falling asleep. I was too into talking to Damon. The next thing I knew I was waking up in my bed. The sun was coming through the window.
I went downstairs to see what was going on. I saw Caroline, Bonnie, and Jeremy all in the kitchen. They must be looking for breakfast. I thought for a moment he was here. But why would he be here. He was probably back at his place.
"Morning sleep head. Cereal?" Caroline asked showing me a box of cereal.
"Yeah. Thanks." I said.
I took the cereal from her hands and got a bowl. We all ate in silence. We were not much of morning people. Except for Caroline. I always have to have my coffee. I then saw coffee was being made. I looked over to Bonnie. She gave me a smile. I then heard my phone go off. I looked at it to see a text from Damon.
Had a great time talking last night. I am holding you to your word on that one day.
I couldn't help but smile about that. I also had a great time last night too. It was nice just talking to someone without worrying. I feel like I learned a lot about Damon last night. I then got another text. This one was from Stefan.
Hey. Do you think we can talk? I know you want that.
Yes. I can be ready in a couple minutes if you want to meet up somewhere.
Pick you up in five minutes.
Deal. See you then.
I then put my phone down. I know my smile was gone now. I looked at Caroline and Bonnie. Then know something was up. I then said,
"Stefan finally wants to talk."
"About time. When is here coming?" Bonnie asked.
"In five minutes." I told them.
"That doesn't give us much time. But I worked with less." Caroline said.
Then she dragged me and Bonnie upstairs to my room. She wants to make sure I look good. I let her do what she wants. It makes her happy. Bonnie helped her. When they got done I looked really nice. Nothing fancy. But still nice.
We all went downstairs to see Stefan standing there waiting for me. I gave him a small smile. I said goodbye to the girls and we all went our separate ways. Stefan and I headed towards the park. When we got there, we sat on the bench. Neither of us said anything. What is there to say? I then said,
"We really need to talk about what happened with Katherine being me."
"I know." He said.
"I just need to know one thing. You need to tell me the truth. Did you know it wasn't me? Or were you just playing along to get a upper hand on her?" I asked.
I know the answer already. Damon and Alaric told me the truth about everything. I don't get how she tricked everyone. Did she really get that good being me? That is what scares me the most.
"I want to say that I know the whole time. But then I would be lying to you. I don't want to do that to you. I didn't know it wasn't you." He told me truthfully.
"Okay. She did a great job tricking you all." I said.
"She really did. But what is confusing me is how did Damon know the defiance between you two when I couldn't." He told me.
"I don't know." I told him.
I know we were just trying to fix something that I don't know if we could fix. I feel like we were just trying to make this fit when it doesn't. We are just doing whatever one wants. I don't know if he feels the same away. But I can't hold this in any more. Maybe Katherine being me showed me something.
"Stefan, we can't do this anymore. You have been avoiding me for this long. That isn't what happens in relationship. When we are in public we act like everything is alright and there isn't anything wrong. But there is." I told him. He didn't say anything to me. I don't blame him. I was just being truthfully right now.
"We can work on it. I know there is a few things that we need to work on." He told me.
"I think maybe for right now. We need to just be friends. We need to take a step back." I told him.
"Is this because of Damon?" He asked me.
"What do you mean? This doesn't have to do with nothing with him." I told him.
"Well, I tell me one thing. I need to know. Do you have feelings for him? Like real feelings." He asked me.
"Well, I do care for him. He does have a special part in my heart like you do too." I told him truthfully.
Why is he asking that? He knows Damon and I are good friends. We have a special bound. But where did this come from? There was only one other time I said anything about Damon and I like that. Just then it hit me. I only told Bonnie and Caroline the truth about it all. I know Bonnie would never spill a word. But did Caroline?
