Stefan Salvatore never thought he would see Juliet Fairchild. That was until he died.

If there was one thing Damon knew in this moment as they stood around devising a paln to bring Stefan and Enzo back.
Caroline Forbes was in love with his brother.
he isn't surprised.
he rolled his eyes at the thought. She was going to end up heart broken and disappointed. what a surprise...
Stefan stroked Juliet's back gently, his hands moving up and down continuously as she pressed her face into the crook of his neck as if she believed that would be able to hide the frightened tears welling unbidden in her eyes. His face was buried into hair, but Damon could still see the words being formed in his whispers to her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
Damon couldn't find it in himself to feel discomfort, because when their world that was barely even a whisper of what it once was they had still managed to find home and love with each other. Even if everything else they had ever cared about had disappeared.

"Are we really going to do this?" She asked.
"If it means getting Stefan back then yes. We are" He replied, an eyebrow raised, daring her to challenge him.
"ok" she whispered nodding before turning around.
But he stopped her
"Caroline.. Are you-" he paused "Be honest... Are you in love with Stefan?"
her eyes told him all he needed to know. Actually he could se it from a mile away. All of the signs point to it.
from the jealousy at the cabin to the need to protect him. Even her reaction to his (hopefully) temporary death.
Gult. Remorse. Shame. Love? Compassion?
"I don't need to know. But... just don't get your hopes up. Stefan gave his heart away long before you or even Elena came in to the picture" Caroline furrowed her eye brows in confusion. Is he trying to pull something?
What does he gain by telling me this?
He nodded and walked away before she could ask him about his motives.

He sees her laying in the middle of town square. He laughs quietly because he knew she got what she always wanted; to be free.
Even if it was on the other side
he watches the way her pen moves across the pages of a leather bound journal, saying every word she writes out loud as if she wants someone to hear it.
And it's working
He could hear her reading her diary like she did every night
it will always be this way
Their eyes will always meet from across a room, any room. She could hide in the darkest part of the universe and he would still find her.
He had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating
Deary Diary,
it's was not fair because Stefan is real, he's real - and he has his faults, but he was there and he loves you still and he'd do anything to protect you, yet you couldn't let go of him. But now Stefan is all i want. All i need.
I had to watch him die today, i had to watch his heart get ripped out of his chest, his pale lifeless body sink to the ground.
And the worst part; I couldn't do anything about it.
It was if i was on the outside looking.
And I couldn't look away
end.
"You wanna know what i would write?" Juliet blinks once then twice, she even pinches herself to make sure she's not dreaming: that the voice she hears does not belong to him.
I want her in more ways than one.
It was passionate. Passion is important. But at the same time, it wasn't exactly a tornado. It was calm and reassuring and loving. It gave me hope
But In many ways I was wrong, so wrong.
My life is not a love triangle.
It never was
I was never torn. My heart was never split in half. I was with Juliet, and then I was with Elena,and now Caroline is in love with me well that is judging by her reaction to my death and the jealousy at the cabin she is.
But through all of that, I never stopped loving her, I just loved Elena in a different way. I was just always going to be in love Juliet
love is like being caught in a tornado.
You see the storm coming every time, but in the end you're never ready for the moment that the tornado picks you up off of your feet and carries you away.
First, you're really scared. No absolutely Terrified.
You've never really done this before.
Then, for a while, it's incredible.
You're flying. And you're blinded, but it's alright, because you're spiraling up and you have no control over your body. It's exhilarating.
But you know that it's dangerous… that it kills and causes pain. And eventually, you spin right out or it fades to nothing. And you're left with nothing but damage.
She watches and listens to him as he speaks. The way his lips move, the corner of his mouth curling into that crooked smile as if it was pulled upward by a single string.
Stefan's eyes widened as he took her in. She's really here "Juliet," He breathed.
We both pulled away, and we just drank in the sight of each other.
And that was all it took. It was all she needed to take off towards him
She finds herself compelled by him. She can't control herself as she finds herself Moving towards him as if she had all the time in the world yet gradually moving faster as he comes into full view.
Until she's full on running straight into his arms
Once she's in his arms he's crying in that quiet, desperate way she usually does, and he's doing his best to comfort her. He always knew how, without even trying. Iit always seemed like his arms are home to her - when she's there, she's at peace. You can see it in the way her face changes.
But that was okay, because Stefan was here and holding her in the exact same way, caressing her dark hair and to her hair
"I can't believe you're here right now." She whispers through her tears
tbc.
sorry for the delay school is kind of... well school
