Author's Note: I'm really sorry if some of you find the plot of my story not convenient. It's just a story. And I'm really sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings.
Ariana: In my story, I made Stefan give up on everything because he feared that if he goes through a lead and fails then Damon would never come back. He would never be able to live with the fact that he failed to get his brother back so he preferred to just give up on everything and lead a life quietly, away from everything.
marajade: Thank you for liking the story.
Kylie: Thank you for understanding.
I'm sorry to leave it hanging in the second chapter. Hope this third chapter makes up for it.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I still don't own any of the Vampire Diaries' character.
The sun shining right on his face was the first thing that woke him up. Rolling over his back, Stefan gasped at the sharp pain from his backside. "Ow" Stefan winced, quickly getting up. So last night wasn't a dream? Damon was… His feet shuffling faster, Stefan ran down quickly crashing into someone. "Slow down tiger! What's the rush?" Damon asked. "You're really here?" Stefan asked. "Yup, in flesh and bone" Damon snickered, patting his brother's back as he went to the kitchen.
Stefan trailed off behind Damon, trying to stay within reach to his brother. Damon noticed but didn't make any comment. Stefan sat at the table and got up quickly sneaking a rub at his backside as Damon chuckled quietly. He had missed these normal moments. He was about to speak up when his phone rang. Speaking quietly on the phone, Damon frowned as he got off the phone. "It was Caroline. She is coming home along with Enzo." Damon said. Stefan merely nodded. He did not want to see them but he didn't want to say anything to his brother.
Stefan had been sitting with his brother when suddenly Caroline and Enzo burst through the door. "Damon, you're back?" Enzo asked and grabbed on Damon's arm to ensure that the man was actually in front of him. "But how did you get back?" Caroline asked, eying Stefan suspiciously. "Let's leave that for some any other day?" Damon said. "I'm sure Stefan had no hand in this" Enzo said. Damon raised an eyebrow at Enzo but before he could say anything, Caroline beat him to it. "I'm glad you came back Damon because nobody else was making a move to actually get you back." Caroline said.
Stefan got up to go back to his room. He knew every of those taunts were directed to him but he heard them so much all these days that it didn't matter anymore to him. "You wait right there" Damon said and turning to Enzo he said, "How much did you guys do to get me back, huh? And you Caroline, what have you done except of blaming Stefan. Whatever Stefan did, I have no qualms about it, okay? And guys, what about Elena? Did any of you blame her for erasing all my memories? Doesn't that mean she is betraying me? So why are you all so angry at Stefan?" Damon asked. "Do me a favor guys, get out of here and do not ever bother me or Stef or at least leave us alone for some time" Damon shouted.
Standing behind his brother, Stefan was shocked at how Damon took his side. All their life they had had so many differences but here his brother was taking his side. As soon as Caroline and Enzo left, Stefan turned to Damon, "Why?" Stefan asked. "Because you're my brother. Nobody gets away after hurting you so much. I know it's because of them that you thought of killing yourself. They are the ones that pushed you to hurting yourself." Damon said, "And I'm sorry for having spanked you for that but know one thing Stef, I may not say it enough but you mean the whole world to me. So don't you ever think of killing yourself, okay? Besides I'll always be there for you since I've promised you an eternity of misery, right? I have to be there to make your life hell, right?" Damon chuckled pulling Stefan in a hug.
"You will not make my life hell" Stefan chuckled in Damon's shirt. "Keep telling yourself that buddy. I'll make your life hell." Damon snickered. "You won't." Stefan laughed. "I can always tan your little white butt, Stefan" Damon shouted at the boy who ran off for cover quickly.
