Elena sat there, awkwardly perched in the bottom of the closet. She watched with angry tears in her eyes as they hugged each other and couldn't keep thier hands or eyes off of each other. It made Elena sick. It cut Elena to the core. Stefan was her boyfriend before she died and she honestly still thought they were dating, because they never broken up. But now, it was obvious he hadn't felt the same way.
She watched as the three spoke and Bonnie laughed. ''Well, I would invite you guys in, but my mom left me to do her dirty work, A.K.A, housework.'' Caroline excused with a bright and teasing laugh.
Stefan smiled politely and held his grip on Bonnie's hand, while Caroline and Bonnie exchanged a quick hug. Then the couple walked out and Elena was ecstatic that they didn't stay any longer.
When the roar of the engine purred to life and after a minute they could no longer here the roar, Elena burst open the closet door and moved to the couch. Caroline hovered over her.
''I can't believe they're dating, of all people.'' Elena said.
Caroline sighed and took a seat next to Elena. ''They actually really like each other.'' Caroline said. Not making me feel any better, Care...Elena thought bitterly.
Elena groaned and put her head into her hands. ''How long?'' She asked, referring to the date they started going out.
''A half a month,'' She stated.
Elena eyes widened. ''A month?'' She questioned, her voice bitter as she rose from the couch, anger blinding her.
Caroline also stood and tried to calm her down. ''That's how long you've been gone, Elena.'' Caroline stated.
Elena bit her lip. ''I've been dead for a month?'' She asked.
Caroline sadly nodded. ''How is it possible? I feel like I've been gone for a week.'' Elena explained.
Caroline nodded and pursed her lips. ''Time goes by faster in vampire years. Before you know it, one eternity will already be over.'' Caroline explained.
Elena sighed. ''That doesn't sound promising,'' Elena said.
Caroline's mouth formed a tight line. ''It's better than lying in the ground.'' Caroline offered.
Elena gave her a slightly offended look. Caroline noticed, rewinded, and frowned. ''I'm sorry, Elena. You know how careless I can be.'' She said.
Elena nodded and felt moisture spring to her eyes once again. Caroline sighed and hugged her.
They embraced for awhile, until the doorbell rang. Caroline threw a smile at Elena and rushed towards the door, and was suprised by who was standing there.
Elena noticed and looked up at the person-tears now streaming down her cheeks. ''Damon,'' She said. Looking at the blue eyed, leather jacket, smirker before her, who now had a sad look on his face at Elena's appearance.
