'Elena what's wrong?' Came Stefan's panicked voice in my head.

'I don't know.' I thought back truthfully. What was going on? How could I love them both? This is nuts.

"Elena talk to me." Stefan whispered as he tried to pick me up off the ground. "I will leave you and Damon to be together. I promise I will. Just don't cry."

"No!" I yelled without thinking. "You can't leave because I love you too Stefan." I blurted these words before I could even think of stopping myself.

"Elena are you OK?" Damon asked as he ran into the clearing to see me being held in Stefan's arms with tears running down my face. "What's wrong with her? Is she hurt?" Damon asked.

"She loves us both." Stefan said without even looking at his brother. Stefan and Damon both stared off into space. There was nothing to be said in a situation like this. I climbed out of Stefan's arms while this happened. Then I ran. I ran as fast I could as far as I could. Now I had really hurt them both. They knew that I didn't just love them but I also loved their brother.

Stefan's POV

She loves me too? This took Damon and I back to a time that neither one of us liked. Kathrine had done the same thing. We thought Kathrine died and we killed each other. This could not happen again. Elena would have to choose. She couldn't do the same thing Kathrine did.

When I woke up from my daze Elena was no where to be found. One minute I was holding her in my arms and the next minute she was gone and I had no idea where to find her. Great.

'Elena! Elena! Please come back little angel. I'm not mad but I want you here.' I pictured Elena as I thought this.

'How can you not be mad? I will not be like Katherine.' She replied. She was mad at her self I could tell. I could tell which way she had ran so I ran after her. Her sent led me right to her.

Before she could run again I grabbed her arm. "Please Elena. I know you won't be like Kathrine. You will have to choose but no one will get mad or fight either way. You just pick the one you love. That is all Damon and I ask of you." I tried to explain.

"But that is the thing I love you both. I don't know if I can choose between the 2 of you." Elena whispered.

"Little love just know that I love you." I assured her. "We will make it through this together." I promised her.

Elena's POV

How could I ever choose? Stefan was so sweet. Maybe he was the one I needed. He was the sweet sensitive one. I looked into his eyes and just knew I could never let him go. But could I let go of Damon? That was the question I now asked myself. Damon really loved me, I really loved Damon.

"Stefan you are the one I want." I made this decision quickly. I would have no time to change my mind if I just chose. I knew as soon as the words left my lips that it was a good choice to pick Stefan. He may not be dangerous and the bad boy but what was really wrong with having a good sweet boy. This way I know I would never get my heart broken. I had broken Stefan's heart before I and I swore to myself now that I would never hurt him again. How could I? He was the sweetest guy I had ever known.

"Are you sure Elena?" Stefan asked. I could tell he was hoping I wouldn't change my mind but he wanted to make sure that I wouldn't at the last moment.

"I am positive." I assured him. As soon as Stefan heard this he scooped me up in his arms and spun me around. My cheeks blushed my heart raced and I felt wonderful. Stefan and I were really meant to be together I had picked the right brother. Every touch every kiss we shared came rushing back to me. All the feelings Stefan made me feel, his scent his touch all slammed back into me.

"Oh thank god Elena. I didn't know how I was going to leave. I would of if that was what you wanted but I don't have any idea of how I would have done it." Stefan whispered as he kissed my neck, my hair, and my mouth. He still held me in his arms giving no sign of ever letting go. His arms pulled me tightly to him. This kiss, this kiss I had missed so much. How could I have ever left Damon?

Damon. This name knocked the air out of my lungs. He is probably watching us right now. I at least have to explain myself to him I thought.

"Stefan what about Damon?" I asked slightly panicked now.

"He will be fine. He knows who you have chosen. He will leave us alone." Stefan assured me. Normally I would have went after Damon and I really should have but there was no way that I could help myself with Stefan holding me in his arms kissing me and wanting me to kiss him back. Damon could wait.

Damon's POV

I was soon forgotten. I could tell Elena didn't care. She only cared about Stefan and I guess this was the way it would always be. Her and Stefan had history. My chest ached. Every other girl I have been with never made me feel this way. Now I understand what they mean when they say heart break.


OK. Finally I can say that this has to have been one of the hardest chapters to write. I had writers block most of the time and I have also been very busy. I know that it is short and for that I apologize but I will be sure to make the next one longer. Like I said I was just happy to finish this one. Thank you for waiting patiently. Hope you enjoy the chapter. As always REVIEW.

Thanks so much for reading!
