It has been 2 days since I have last seen Elena. After our heart to heart all she wanted to do was to go home, to her real home where Alaric lived now too. She hadn't been here since then, and without her here it's so very quiet. Quieter than usual.
Stefan
I heard something. I put the pen down and got up. It flew past me. And then it did it again. I raced down the stairs to the living room. I stood in the center, chasing the fast moving object with my eyes. Then it was gone, I thought. But the next thing I knew I was pinned up against the wall. Damon.
"Well, well brother." His voice was very angry.
"What do you want, Damon?" He was holding my neck, which made it hard for words to escape my mouth.
" I told you to stay away from Elena." He knew. And before I could answer I felt a wooden stake plunge into my chest, 2 inches away from heart. I screamed in pain.
" Damon, I didn't..." But before I could answer I heard someone else. Before I could even guess who it was, she screamed.
" Damon stop!" Elena. I saw the reaction on Damon's face. He gave me an evil glare before turning towards her. He dropped me and the strake. I slid down the wall ever so slowly. Each second trying to extract the wooden weapon from my chest. I did not say a word though. I kept quiet.
"Elena." His voice now sounded sweet and before I could blink he was next to her. Holding her. But she escaped his hold and moved toward the other side of the room. Next to me.
"Damon, how could you?" She voice sounded in disbelief
"Elena, he's lying to you. Whatever he told you was a lie." She didn't even think about it.
"No, Damon. You're the liar! I know everything. Stefan wasn't the one who told me. I found out. How could you. How could you be so selfish to take away my memory, my love, Stefan. That wasn't your to take! I'm not yours to take!" I now looked at Damon. So much anger in his eyes, he rushed towards her. Without thinking I was up and in front of her, guarding her with my weak bloody, wounded body. Damon stopped right in his tracks. His face was still evil. More than anything I wanted to rip his heart out. More than anything, I wanted him to suffer. More than anything, I wanted to end him right there. But I didn't. Because even though Elena was compelled to love him, she still did. Didn't she?
"You did this, Damon." His face dropped. But to a sad frown. This was hurting Damon. Because I was in the same spot and it killed me. He loved Elena more than anything but it was forced love. I never forced her to love me, nor would I ever. It hurt Damon, because even though he made her choose him, in a way she was still choosing me. Did she remember? Then, Elena pushed past me and stood in front of Damon. He just looked at her. Then, she began to speak.
"I always knew that you were hiding something. That you had something that I could never find out. And to find out this? That I've been living a lie for 3 months. That Damon. That is what hurts the most. Not that you took Stefan away from me and my memories. No. What hurts the most is that you lied. You lied and didn't even care. You took my choice away from me." Tears were rolling down her face now. All I wanted to do was grab her and wipe away her tears. But I was cut short. For what happened next, was mind blowing. She kissed him. It wasn't a long one but she did. And he kissed her back. They kissed for what seemed like forever but maybe just for 5 seconds. She broke away from their kiss. She whispered ever so softly,
"If you truly love me, Damon. You'll let me remember. You let me choose." Now tears streamed down his face as he stared at her. He stepped back from her and looked at me now.
"You'll choose him." He was shaking his head.
"You'll just choose him." Elena looked back at me. She nodded.
"Yes, Damon. Either way, it will always be Stefan." And that's when I knew she remembered. Damon knew it too. The look on his face was nothing but disappointment.
"Why are you asking me this if you already remember! Why don't you and Stefan just go and be happy together?"
"Because Damon! I care about you, and you know that. Stefan knows that. But I thought for just one second you'd care enough about me to let me be happy. I thought for once you would see what the right choice was and do it." She now looked at me. And all I saw was love. She walked over to and took my hands. She smiled at me and then turned back to Damon.
"Stefan, he would never make me choose to be a vampire.." Was she really going to bring that up now?
"Elena, you're fooling yourself if you think Stefan is okay with you being a human. He'll stay young forever while you grow old. Forever isn't a very long time when one ages and the other doesn't." He had a point. Of course I wanted to be with Elena forever but I would always let her choose.
"I know that, Damon. But Stefan, he's letting me choose. And that's the difference." She turned back towards me.
"Because he wants me to be happy, with or…..without him." And then she kissed me. I had been longing this forever now. Her lips were so soft and perfect, just how I had left them. She broke away again. And walked over to Damon.
"I only remember little parts. Please, Damon. Let me remember." And then his eyes locked to hers.
"You remember everything. You remember how much you loved Stefan. You remember how much you care for him. You remember who he is and everything you to have done together. But you don't remember what I did. You don't remember the love for me I forced you to have. You don't remember how much I loved you. And you don't remember how selfish I was. We will go one as we had been. Friends. That is all you will remember." He looked at me. Tears were still forming in his eyes. And then he was gone. I looked back at Elena who stood there. She now turned around and looked at me. A smile appeared on her face and then she ran to me. I grab her and held her in my arms. We hugged tightly and now tears rolled down my face as well as hers.
"I remember, Stefan." She let go of my hug and looked into my eyes once again.
"I remember. I remember everything." And she kissed me. And we kissed and kissed all the way up to my bedroom where we lied on my bed. And before she shut her eyes to fall asleep and she whispered ever so quietly,
"I love you, Stefan. Always have, always will." And she fell into a deep sleep. I brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her cheek.
"I love you, Elena. Always have and always will"
