Elena's POV

"Elena?" my name sounded like an echo. I look to the source and Caroline is standing there, her brows raised in confusion.

"Hmmm?" I ask, where did she come from? I feel like I have been staring at nothing for so long that I didn't even notice Caroline come up behind me. I look back to the spot where Damon had disappeared of too and look down at my hands, his Samsung S5 still in my hands. I should probably hide it? Right. I tuck the phone in my pocket and turn to face my friends.

"Are you a bit loopy? I mean did you take meds this morning?" Caroline asks when I finally face her and then I notice that she isn't alone, and that Bonnie is here with her, both of them are staring at me like I have lost all my marbles.

"What? No why?" I ask trying to recover because clearly my friends think that I am highly medicated.

"We've been here for like 5 minutes calling you." Bonnie states as she waves her hand in front of me.

"Sorry guys I was just lost in thought. My mind has been all over the place lately." I say and at least I was a bit honest. I mean I wasn't all out lying to them. I was just hiding the real reason that has been on my mind for the past week now. "Hey Bonnie," I say as I take a step towards her, grabbing Caroline with my other arm to pull her closer and I embrace both of them carelessly. "Care, I missed you guys." I say as I hug them, and they wrap their arms around me to.

"Aw Elena we missed you to." Caroline coo's into my ear as I hug both of them.

"Elena, you smell like liquor and pine trees." At that I completely freeze, yes I was still wearing Damon's leather jacket. Shit I completely forgot about it but it was growing on me and I liked being warm and that I am surrounded by the smell of all things Damon, I pull from my friends and look at them sheepishly. How the hell was I going to explain this to them?

I feel an arm wrap around my waist and then I am flush against a strong chest. "Hey babe." I hear Stefan's voice right next to my ear as he says this and I feel like I am going to faint because this shit just got real. I loosely drape his arms around me and I turn in his arms to look at him, smiling. It felt like I had to put up a big facade when I wanted to pull the sides of my mouth into a half-hearted smile.

"Hey Stef." I say leaning in and instead of kissing him, I peck him on his cheek which was hard as well and I felt disgusted with myself for doing just that. I just needed to remind myself that this was my boyfriend and that I liked him and that his brother was in-love with me. Fuck. "How is my favourite boyfriend?" I ask and I almost choked as I registered what came out of my mouth. He was my only fucking boyfriend for fuck sakes.

"I'm your only boyfriend…" Stefan says and then he winks at me luckily he took it as a joke, which was good. "I hope." I nervously laugh at that then look at Caroline and Bonnie who just keep on smiling at me like maniacs, was there something wrong with them? "I'm good now that you are back. How are you feeling?" Stefan asks and now he just holds me closer. I feel like I can't breathe, that he's holding me too tightly, almost like he is smothering me.

"I'm feeling better thanks." I reply looking around nervously, I didn't want Damon to see this, I didn't want to be in this position and let Damon see me because I can't take it again if he looked at me with hate and disgust. It would just upset him and me too because now I know how it felt like for him and it would make things so much more difficult for both of us because I just don't want him to get hurt, even thou I know he is hurting right now.

I look to Bonnie and the dark haired girl is smiling brightly as she pulls out her phone and I swear she snapped a picture of me and Stefan but I could be imagining this. "So are you guys going to Ric's party tonight?" Caroline asks, and I know that she wants to go because then Matt will be there, and she really likes Matt. And they have been trying to get together for the past few weeks but it's just not happening.

I look from Bonnie to Caroline and I feel Stefan's lips on my neck and it makes me feel nauseous, but I fight the urge to empty my stomach right there in front of them. "Yeah so are you joining us for Ric's party? Come on Elena?" She's actually pleading with me and I shake my head from side to side. She was joking right? Right. But they would not go if I wasn't going, and well I wasn't that sure that we would be going because I was sick and my parents will be against it.

"I don't know, I'll have to ask my parents." I say as I try to wiggle out of Stefan's grip which I am struggling with, the bell is about to ring and I needed to get my backpack.

"Leave it to Stefan. I'm sure they'll say yes if he asks." Caroline states with desperation in her voice. Where did this come from? I grab for my backpack and throw it onto my back. I really didn't feel like going. If I said no then Caroline and Bonnie would guilt trip me in going and I just didn't want that. I look to Stefan and he looks very hopeful to accept the invitation.

I take a big breath, I might as well go and have Stefan ask my parents. "If Stefan can get my parents to say yes then yes we'll go." I say almost rolling my eyes when Bonnie and Caroline high five each other. Stefan is soon to follow as he high fives both girls. I raise a brow at them and their antics. What happened in the three days that I have been at home? Did everything just change over-night? "So I'm off to class, I'll see you guys at lunch?" I ask and all three look at me with a smile on their faces.

"Sure babe." Stefan is the first one to greet me as he takes a step closer, kissing my cheek as he goes, and Bonnie and Caroline act like two tween girls who just met their boy crush for the first time. I give them one hell of a fake smile before turning on my heel.

What the fuck happened? I mean why are Bonnie, Caroline and Stefan all best friends, and full on friendship now? I mean they were friends before we dated but not like this, not like they are going to talk about me behind my back now that I have left and Stefan will send them messages for advice and shit like that because that was just off. It almost seemed that Stefan was more in-tune with my friends then I was. I start to make my way towards my first class for the day which so happened to be on the other side of the school.

As I made my way towards my class I couldn't help but notice the strange looks that I got from half of the girls that saw me, that only made me pull the leather jacket closer to my body. What was up with the people today? If my friends and boyfriend was not acting strange then all the other people were. Did I miss the memo? I turn down one hallway into another and soon the door to my class is in view. I could not be any more happy. I walked into the half empty class and took my seat, science oh how I missed this class.

I place my backpack next to me and pull out my books opening to the page that I think we are. I look around slowly, as the other people started to take their seats, and they either pulled out their phones or they would pull out their books. I sigh, as soon as this day is over I could go home and I could just relax.

"Elena!" I look to my side and isn't it Rebekah Michealson? I give her a small smile as she takes a seat next to me, taking her assigned seat. I had no problem with Rebekah, I only thought that she was a vain bitch that was completely self-absorbed and that she thinks the sun shines from her ass.

"Hi Rebekah." I greet and look back to my textbook again. I'm really not in the mood to talk to anyone especially her.

"Why are you wearing Damon's leather jacket?" she asks like it's the most absurd thing in this world and I almost freeze as I listen to her question dripping with jealousy. I look down at myself and then I look to her blinking twice, I didn't know what I was going to tell her but I had to come up with something pretty fast.

"It was cold this morning and I forgot my jacket." I blurt out and the blonde narrows her eyes at me, like she doesn't believe a word that leaves my mouth and I really can't blame her because I sound like a complete idiot.

"So he just gave you his jacket?" she asked in annoyance and this time I raise a brow at how jealous she is about the fact that Damon had given me his coat.

"Borrowed," I say, correcting her.

"He never lets anyone wear that jacket, what makes you so special?" She asks, and I really can't figure out why she keeps on asking the same thing over and over again, the jealousy and clear annoyance not even hidden anymore as she stares straight at me. I narrow my eyes at her and she almost snorts at me. Oh yes now I remember, he dated her last week well not really date, Damon didn't do the whole dating thing. She was the flavour of the week and now she's nothing to him and she didn't even get her chance to have him.

"What's your problem?" I ask but I know what is her problem loud and clear.

"I'm just asking, I mean your dating Stefan so shouldn't you be wearing his jacket?" she asks and she was really getting on my nerve now because she keeps on with the same thing. I feel a sudden vibration in my pocket and I reach for it. At first I grab the wrong phone because now Damon's phone is staring at me, the background is some exotic car but there is no indication that it was his phone that had vibrated and then I place it back in my pocket. I pull out my phone and look at the screen. Rebekah didn't miss the exchange of phones at all and she only smiled as I glanced at her before unlocking my phone and opening my blackberry messenger.

'Just wanted to say that you look absolutely beautiful today. And I like you so much! And by the way your parents said yes for tonight.' I look at the message again. How the hell did Stefan do it? When did he ask my parents about tonight? Why was he being so sweet and caring? Why was he so damned perfect?

"So?" Rebekah asks and I look at her, and if looks could kill she would be death right now because I was staring daggers at her.

"Damon borrowed me his jacket this morning because it was cold okay? And yes I am dating Stefan but he wasn't here when I got to school and Damon was so he gave me the fucking jacket." I say in a harsh tone earning a sharp intake of breath from Rebekah and a gasp from some nearby people. Rebekah's eyes are wide as she stares at me, not quite believing that I had just snapped at her. But she was really getting on my nerves. "And stop being so jealous, you have nothing to be jealous about. Besides you're wasting your time if you think that you and Damon are ever going to be more than a week fling." I say as I look back to my phone.

'That was fast, when did you ask them?' I type back as fast as I can and I don't even look back at Rebekah because after 8 seconds she still hasn't made a comeback and that was the cut of time for snarky comments or comebacks. But I could not care less. I just couldn't explain my sudden outburst. I was so angry as she kept on asking and asking and I lashed out and I actually felt disgusted to think that Damon actually spent a week with her, now I was the jealous one.

'I phoned after you left for class.' It frustrated me that he had done that but I did tell him that he should ask my parents so I am the only one to blame, but the fact that he had wasted no time and just all out gone and did it frustrated me.

'Thank you.' I reply sighing as I rest back against the chair my head hanging in defeat. I felt like crying, like just sitting here and cry like there is no tomorrow. And it wouldn't even matter that everyone in this room sees me. I couldn't care less. I just felt so depressed and I couldn't explain why.

I place my phone back in my pocket and take a deep breath before I sit back up and I look to the front of the class, our science teacher had already arrived and she was bitching and moaning about people who did not hand in their assignments, and that some are still due and she even threatened to fail them if it wasn't in by tomorrow.

When the lunch bell rang I marched… well more like slowly strolled to our normal table in the courtyard in hope to just get away from school and classes for a bit, I wanted to relax and I just didn't want to worry about everything. As I walk toward the courtyard I hear my name being called, when I turn to the sound, it Damon. I could of guessed that it was Damon because it's that obvious. He seems unaffected by everything and anything as he walks over to me, passing hordes of girls who are all drooling over him.

"Hey." He greets and I meet his gaze for a mere second before looking down, I wait until he is next to me and then we start to walk again, he's going the same direction that I am going in. "You okay?" he ask but I continue to walk silently next to him. I was not okay, I was confused. I didn't know what was going on, what I wanted and what I needed. I was undecided at the moment. Everything was just contributing to my confusion.

"Yeah," I say, I poke around in my left pocket for a few seconds before I pull out his phone and hand it to him, it was about time that I handed him his phone and I didn't want it with me anymore, not that anything happened. It didn't ring, he didn't get any messages and well I had this big urge to look around on his phone but fought against it. "Here," I say extending my hand towards him. He only takes it from my hand and he places it back in his pocket like he didn't have a care in the world. I start to wiggle out of his jacket and as soon as it is of and in my hand I hand it to him. I can see people watching us and I really didn't want to make a scene or draw too much attention to us but then again I could have pulled him aside and gave it to him. "Thanks for your jacket." I say.

He's hesitant as he takes the jacket from me and he slowly pulls it on without a problem. "You could have kept it if you are still cold." He says and the way he's acting now is completely different from how he had acted this morning after he played me that song and disappeared. He acted like it never happened like everything was right in the world.

"I'm fine." I reply as we start to walk again and we take a turn and make our way to my groups table. I thought that he might have stopped or he was going to go to someplace else but he keeps on up with my pace and he remains beside me.

"Could we maybe talk after school?" he asks and I finally look up into those blue orbs of him it was getting harder and harder just to look into those blue eye and refuse to feel anything for the man that they belonged to. He looks completely worried and I don't even know why he would be worried because clearly he wasn't in the same amount of turmoil that I was currently in. Maybe he was just better in hiding his emotions than I was.

"About?" I ask and I am fully aware that I am only replying him in less than five words sentences and he might be getting irritated by it. But I was more irritated at myself than anything else.

"Please?" he asks almost pleading and as I look into his eyes I just break, he's so tall and handsome as hell and it's just so hard to tell him no, that I don't want to see him, that I don't want to talk to him. Because in all fact is that I wanted to see him and I wanted to clear the air, I wanted to talk this out with him

"Did you really mean what you said this morning?" I ask and he stops completely as he stares into my eyes, and there is a girl that almost walks into me because I stop to but I don't care and I almost pushes her away from me.

"Every single word." He replies, his eyes are now focussing in on mine there is no doubt in his actions or words. "Please could we talk?" he asks again.

"Are you going to Ric's party?" I ask and no this isn't me trying to change the subject or trying to avoid it.

"Yes." He answers.

"I'll see you then? We'll find a place to talk there." I say and he just nods his head. I could not afford him coming over to my house after school. With Stefan being so unpredictable he might just pitch at my house earlier and he'll find Damon there and then everything would just be up in flames. Besides I needed to have some time to myself, I needed to think. I wasn't sure what I was going to do but I had until tonight to figure that out.

"Okay." He says and then he turns from me and he just disappears yet again, like he had done this morning. How he did that was beyond me thou. I stare at his back until I can't see him anymore and I sigh before turning on the ball of my heel and make my way over to our table. Stefan, Bonnie, Caroline and Matt was already there waiting for me.

I took a big breath and stalked over to our table, as soon as I come into view Caroline and Stefan waves me over both of them smiling like idiots as I come closer and closer to our table.

"Elena!" Caroline yells and I just shake my head as I take a place between her and Stefan not even bothering to greet them with a hug or a kiss on the cheek, I had already greeted them this morning so why must I greet them again?

"Hey guys, sorry about that." I say making myself comfortable being a safe distance from Stefan but he moves closer to me and he places his hand on my thigh smiling brightly. He leans in closer and he has this deep frown on his face.

"What was that all about?" he asks and I'm not sure what he was referring to and playing dumb was actually my only option. I raise a brow at him in question.

"What do you mean?" I ask and look to Bonnie and Caroline both of them frowning at me.

"With Damon?" Stefan asks. I try not to show any expression as I look from my boyfriend to my friends. "You seemed uncomfortable." Stefan says and I take a deep breath, here goes nothing.

"Oh that, no it was nothing really." I reply and I know that is the lamest reply ever but what else could I do?

"Why were you wearing his jacket?" Stefan asks and this really upset him because the tone in his voice changed completely. Was he angry that I was wearing Damon's jacket? Was he jealous?

I sigh again because I really thought that it had gone unnoticed, I just hope he didn't see me give Damon back his phone, how was I going to explain that? "I forgot to take a jacket this morning and he offered his to me because it was cool outside." I reply and Stefan raises a brow to me like he doesn't believe me as well. What was it with the people at this school?

"Could you guys excuse us for a few minutes?" Stefan asks towards our friends and they nod as they continue their conversation with Matt like it had never been interrupted at all. I was caught off guard by the request as well as he grasped my arm and pulled me up to follow him. I didn't even have a say in this.

We walk for a bit, till we reach a secluded area and we stop as Stefan looks at me and he does not seem one bit happy. He looks irritated and angry and just overall frustrated as he looks from side to side and then he looks to me like I have all the answers in the world.

"Elena please be honest with me, why were you wearing his jacket and about what were you talking about?" he asks catching me by complete surprise.

I stare at him a few seconds longer wonder why we were having this conversation, why the sudden questions, was he insecure about me hanging around with Damon? "Seriously Stefan?" I ask almost rolling my eyes when he nods his head. "I was early for school this morning and I forgot my jacket, he offered me his jacket because I was sick and I am still recovering from flu so that was why I was wearing his jacket. And we were just speaking about me, how I felt and I asked him if he was going to Ric's party. That was it. What's up Stefan?" I ask and he looks down to the floor like he can't even face me at all.

"You've just been acting strange. And every time I talk to you about Damon, your attitude and mood changes, I just thought something had happened at last week's party, maybe something happened at our house last Saturday." He explains as he runs a hand through his hair. He didn't know how right he was.

"I'm not acting strange." I say trying to focus just on that fact, if I took the spotlight away from Damon he wouldn't focus so much on it. Yes now I am trying to change the subject.

"You are, you're not like you had been last week. You're just acting nervous and you seem scared and unwilling with some things. And when I came to visit you when you were sick, it was so awkward. We have never been awkward." Stefan states and even thou I know it's true I need to deny it, to make him believe that nothing has changed.

"Having my first boyfriend and everything is a big step for me, I don't always know how to act or react Stefan." I say and I give him a small smile to try and tell him that this is what is going on. "You have had girlfriends before, you know how it is, for me this is all a new experience. I need to get used to it." I say and he actually smiles to me. Thank goodness he believed me.

He takes a step closer to me and takes a hold of both my hands in his as he pulls me closer to him. But he continues to smile even thou I want to resist this so badly. I move an inch closer and then another and then I am flush against his body and he gives me that breath-taking Stefan Salvatore smile.

"It's going to be okay." He says as then he leans in closer until his lips softly touches mine and believe me I wanted to pull back to break of the kiss but if I did I would be blowing everything up. He would surely know that there is something wrong and I just didn't want that so I stay completely still as he kisses me fully on my lips, and this time it wasn't a simple peck on my lips, he was really putting in all his effort, or I think he is.

His lips are nothing like Damon's lips, his kiss lacks passion and emotion and it feels like he's just kissing me for the sake of kissing. With Damon my head spins and there is a whole zoo in my stomach, and my stomach makes flip flops and with Stefan, there is nothing, completely nothing. My lips don't even tingle when he pulls away, slowly opening his eyes to see me, I quickly put up a smile and he smiles back.

"That's how I planned our first kiss." He says and I didn't know why he keeps bringing it up, it's like talking about a budget when having sex. It was pointless and it should be avoided at all time. But I smile as I nod my head at him. I might be a bad liar but Stefan believed me and that's all that counted at the moment.
