Elena's POV

I waited through three long periods to get to break time, this was it I was going to face Stefan and do what I have been dreading to do since I knew I felt feelings towards Damon. I was feeling scared, nervous and I felt sick to my stomach. I hadn't spoken to Stefan since this morning nor Damon but I knew what I had to do and I had to do it. So after class I rushed out and made my way straight to Stefan's class, he just had PE. I would wait for him and then from there I would ask him to walk with me to a secluded area where there was no one around and I would break the news. I waited outside the door and watched on as class mates left one by one.

"I can't believe they got caught doing that…" I hear Tyler say as he pass me but he clearly doesn't see me. But it seems that all the people walking out of the gym was talking about the same thing because it was hush, hush and making me more curious to what happened but I waited for the majority of the people to leave before I peeked my head into the gym.

Only the teacher was left as he started cleaning up after the students that just participated in gym. I walk in and look from side to side, might it be that Stefan was still in the locker room or had he left without me seeing because I was pretty sure that I did not see him when everyone left. I walk over to the teacher and he smiles towards me.

"Elena is there anything that I can help you with?" Mr Whitlock asks standing up straight.

"I was just wondering where Stefan was sir." I say and then his face falls.

"He's not here Elena." He says and I frown. Okay so if he wasn't here then where the hell was he? Because I know he had gym now, I knew his schedule and he was scheduled to have gym now before we head of our lunch break.

"Do you know where I could find him?" I ask and he looks somewhat dishevelled and unsure on whether he wanted to answer me.

"I'm not sure because he left my class early." Mr Whitlock says and I frown. Why on earth would Stefan have left early? I nod my head and I start to make my way back to the entrance of the gym, leaving silently. I walk through the vacant halls until I reach the lunch room and the courtyard, as usual everyone is talking or on their phones. I sigh as I try to locate my friends who are not in their usual spot.

I turn from side to side but still I can't see Stefan or Caroline or Bonnie or any one for that matter. Where did they disappear of to? I make my way toward the opposite building over the courtyard and as I walk past the people they smile and some snicker and just shake their head from side to side in what seems to be in shame or disgusts. What the hell happened? What did I miss? I look to the side and I finally see a familiar face and I sigh out of relief, even thou it was not the person I was looking for but the person I have been thinking of all day.

Damon is looking at something that Ric's showing him and by the looks of it Damon seems disgusted as he pushes the phone away. Typically men. So if my friends left me stranded for lunch then I will spend my lunch with Damon, which I had no problem with I just didn't know how Ric would feel about the whole situation after what happened on Friday night. As I approach them I can feel my phone vibrate but ignore it as I smile when Damon looks up.

"Hey," I softly say and at first Damon's eyes go wide in surprise, before he smiles softly. Ric looks to me and all emotions drain from his face when he sees me and then he looks away. He seems to be as pale as a sheet. Did I really disgust him that much that he could not look at me.

"Hey there." Damon says as he scoots to the side instantly making a space for me to sit.

"Hey Elena." Ric greets but I can see me being here was really uncomfortable to him. I sigh because I know that Ric was Damon's friend and I shouldn't sit with them if Ric feels uncomfortable. "You want to sit with us?" Ric asks but he still seems beyond uncomfortable.

"No, it's okay. Have you guys seen Caroline or Bonnie, I can't seem to find them." I say looking from Damon who has this sad smile on his face, he looked somewhat disappointed but when I ask it seems like a simple question brings him to life.

"You didn't hear what happened?" Damon asks and I look to Ric who has a deep frown on his face. I frown as I fish my phone out of my pocket hoping that the vibration that I had felt was most likely a message from my friends in question but Damon grabs it from me as soon as I have it in my hands which surprises me.

"Hey!" I say but Damon doesn't even bat an eyelash and all I can see is his fingers swiping over my phone madly. I try to see what he's doing but he pulls away from me. "Damon give me my phone." I say extending my hand towards him but he just looks up at me shaking his head indicating that he was not going to hand me my phone. "I have a message I need to read, come on Damon." I whine but he just keeps his eyes on the phone.

"It just a text from the school to remind us about the PEP rally Thursday." Damon says before finally handing my phone back to me. I raise a brow because I thought the PEP rally was next week. Time flies right? "It's just junk any way if you ask me." Damon says as he takes my hand and pulls me down to sit next to him.

I take my place next to him and I watch how he and Ric shares a look, like this secret code they are talking in. Ric nods his head as he scoots closer to me and now I literally can't move. I frown at both of them unsure what was going on at the moment. "What's going on? I mean I can understand Ric acting awkward around me because of what happened Friday but this is a bit weird." I finally say barely louder than a whisper. Ric nervously chuckles placing his hand behind his head and scratching it. I think it's just an awkward gesture.

"Nothing like that Elena. I mean I approve, it was just a shock okay." Ric says but he still doesn't put me at ease. My phone vibrate again in my hand and I frown because it's a mass text but before I look at it I look to Damon and his eyes are wide.

"Don't open it." Damon says. His request catches me off guard.

"Why?" I ask and it's like he and Ric just moves closer to me like this is a really big secret.

"Elena trust him, just don't open it." Ric says and I look to him and frown before looking down at the phone yet again. The mass text staring me in the face. What was on this mass text that Damon and Ric wanted to hide from me. "Rather have Damon explain." Ric says and my eyes remain on the screen. I want to look at the text so badly but I force myself to place the phone face down on the table and I look to Damon.

"What's going on?" I ask a bit more firmly then I intended and it's like everyone around us went silence as we wait for Damon's response. I turn in my seat my back half turned towards Ric now. "Is it about …."I rather not continue that sentence because there are currently ears all around us and I didn't want them to know about us.

"No not that." He says and I sigh out of relief because hell that was a blessing in disguise not that I was ashamed about Damon or us being together but I just didn't want it to get out yet. "But there is this video…" he starts and I frown, a video? There were a lot of videos so I didn't find that really supersizing. "And…" Damon trails of and I shake my head because why doesn't he continue? What isn't he telling me? But I notice he's not looking at me anymore. He's staring at something behind me. I can feel Ric move from behind me and I am very tempted to look. But there is this mere second that Damon's eyes meets mine and I know that there is trouble.

"Elena," I hear my name and I slightly turn around to the person. Stefan, the person I had been waiting for, the person I had been waiting to talk to. Where the hell did he just come from?

"Stefan where the hell were you? I waited for you at gym but Mr Whitlock said that you left early…"I stop my sentence as I see Caroline and Bonnie not far behind him. I frown because what the hell was going on? They looked beyond pissed and Stefan looked somewhat ashamed.

Stefan looks to Damon and then back to me, he has this troubled look on his face. "She doesn't know?" Stefan ask and it's mainly to Damon and I feel really confused now because what the hell was going on. Why was no one telling me what was going on. The next thing I know is that Damon launches forward towards Stefan punching him straight in the gut, making Stefan lean over, the look of pain etched on his face as he wrap his arms around his waist. I can hear people gasping, I think I was the loudest out of all the people as I stare in shock at the scene in front of me.

"No she doesn't know you fucking idiot. I can't believe you did that." Damon say as he pulls his brother up to look at him square in his eyes before punching him in his jaw. I rush to my feet, and the thing is I don't rush over to Stefan to help him up, to help him or anything, I rush to Damon, grabbing him by his shoulders as I now stand in front of him. "You fucking morron." I see Damon's lips move as the words leave his mouth, and it's like everything just stopped and every one was just standing there looking at the scene between the two brothers.

"What don't I know?" I say a bit louder now and then Ric is beside Damon he's holding his arms, the pure anger that leaks from his eyes frighten me because I have never seen him like this before. I have never witnessed Damon like this before but I wasn't scared. I could never fear Damon. I glance towards Stefan and to my surprise only Matt is helping him, holding him up, Caroline is standing on the far left with her hands folded over her chest and Bonnie she looks pissed as hell. I look back to Damon and even thou he looks like he could kill I look into his eyes. "What don't I know?" I ask a bit more serious now.

"I've been fucking your boyfriend…" Rebekah's voice calls over from the right. My eyes go wide and I look to her as she takes a step closer, a black bruise already visible on her skin.

"What?" I ask not entirely sure that I heard her correctly because did she just say she was sleeping with Stefan.

Tyler beats everyone to it as he pulls out his phone and he hand it over to me as the video starts to play and I can clearly make out the blonde slut and my boyfriend first making out and then… I almost throw the phone to the floor as I see them connect more than just orally in the gym bath room nether the less. I want to yell what the fuck, I want to run over to her and punch her and kick her ass but I just stand there and look at the two of them in disbelief. But if I would act upon my feelings then I would be the same as them and I didn't want that because I had sex with Damon, I too had cheated so I had no right to be angry or pissed.

I look to Damon and I don't know if I started to cry because I was happy or sad or just angry. But I know there escaped a few tears from my eyes. Damon just shakes his head in disbelief and then I feel his hand on my upper arm and he pulls me to him. "Let me take you home." Damon says like this was the end of it. Like taking me home would be the cure to everything that was currently happening. Like we are all just going to pack up our stuff and we will return to our normal life. I would lie if I said that I was not angry or sad, because the fact was that I did like Stefan once upon a time. I think I just felt betrayed.

I don't push Damon's arm away as he wraps it around me but I stop when he wants to lead us away. "Odd how intensely I knew you, or thought I did, when I was in love – soaked, drenched in love only to discover later that perhaps I didn't know you quite as well as I had imagined." I say as I look straight into Stefan's eyes and even thou I knew I had never fell in love with him, the words made sense as they left my lips.

"Don't act like you're so fucking perfect Elena because you are anything but a little ray of fucking sunshine." Stefan yells to me and my eyes go wide. "You were never in love with me, you were careless." Stefan finishes and I almost roll my eyes at him.

"You never noticed, you telling me that I am careless, but that's what careless words do Stefan. They make people love you a little less with each word." I reply and before I turn on my heel and let Damon lead me away from the growing crowd. "Maybe I was too quiet, or I was too loud. Maybe I took things too seriously, or maybe not seriously at all. I might be too sensitive, or even too cold-hearted. I hate with every fibre of my being, and I love with every piece of my heart. There is no in-between for me. It's either all or nothing. I won't settle for nothing if I want everything. And right now you are nothing." With that I turn and Damon starts to lead me from the crowd.

There is no comeback, no sarcasm there is only silence as we make our way to the main building and most likely the administrational office. I wanted to go home because right now I feel so much that it is hard for me to feel anything at all. Even as the tears run down my cheek. Yes in the end I did break up with Stefan or well he made it easy by betraying me but still I felt hurt. I was hurt. And I just wanted to go home right now and curl into a small ball and just be… Just before we reach the administrational office Damon stops me.

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way she is, right here and now." At first I didn't understand the meaning of his words but it hits home and I think thats what triggered my tears more intensely, the sobbing and just everything. Because in that moment Damon accepted me exactly the way I am, right there and then.
