I would have updated earlier, but there are so many amazing stories popping up which are pulling me into their web. I want to thank everyone who reviewed, favorite story alerted. But this story is far from finished...

Song: Secrets- One republic

"One of us should start." Damon was sitting outside on his front porch, looking into Elena's eyes. The moon was high in the sky above them and behind the house. Two cars were parked crooked in front of them. One blue and the other gray, Caroline was eating icecream in her bed, talking on the phone with Vickie. Damon and Elena wouldn't be distracted or interrupted. Their phones were stashed on Damon's bed. People always had a tendency to call when one was busy, so they made sure that they were on silent too.

"How?" Elena ran her hands over her neck to settle her nerves. "We just can't talk about our feelings like a journal. I don't even know how to just come out with it."

Damon inhaled before letting it all out. "Just come out with how you feel. Just say it."

"How can I just say it? It's difficult. What do you want me to do?" Elena sounded frustrated. The hair on her arm was tingly, barely sticking up and she was starting to feel bad for snapping at Damon. "I'm sorry for snapping at you. I care about you a lot. Okay? Ever since we met I couldn't get you out of my head. We were meant to be together I can feel it inside. When we're together, I feel something so strong that I want to weep. When you touch me, kiss me even. I feel as if when you stop that I'll never see you again. It's hard to explain and I know that I'm rambling and I just can't stop it because I'm so confused."

Damon placed his hand on her knee and squeezed it lightly.

"Confused about what?"

Elena exhaled and shook her head.

"I don't know. I understand that I'm falling in love with you and I'm not scared just seeing you with Anna today..."

"I got what I wanted from her. All I needed was closure. All she wanted was to try both Salvatore brothers and she did. All I wanted to know. I always thought that I drove them together. We always fought most days. She was always too motherly around him. He had a problem, she'd listen to him but me I was the man so I had to be strong. Our mother had cancer and Stefan was clueless of the fact because she didn't want him to know. He was always the weaker one and it just seems as if I needed someone to know. To help me get through that. My mother left me alone." Damon shook his head and bit his lip, looking back he knew something was wrong then with Anna always up on his brother but he was so wrapped in his mother's problem that he didn't brother. "She died that same day I found them in bed together. Anna was on top of him and she was throwing her head back in pleasure, sayings things that she used to say to me. They didn't know I was there. I watched, hoping that something would happen. One of them would feel bad and get off but no. They continued and I'm was so hurt that I just walked down stairs and sat on my couch. I pulled out a glass of bourbon and drunk it. They didn't notice me, when he was leaving till I cleared my throat."

Damon rubbed the back of his neck and closed his eyes. He hated remembering that day.

Elena looked at Damon and she scooted closer towards him, wrapping her arm around him so that he could lay his head on her chest. Elena ran her fingers through his hair and lightly scratched his head.

It was soothing to Damon.

"They said their sorries and I just tuned them out. All I could think about was getting back with Anna that maybe I was losing my mind that imagined them together, but I knew it was real. I could smell Stefan's old spice in the air and all around her. So Stefan left and Anna just walk away like nothing. And all I could think about when Anna left me was that I had to get revenge on my brother. Fuck a girlfriend of his and me and him would be even." Damon paused and lifted his head up, staring into Elena's eyes once more, this time with intensity. Elena shivered at how intense it was. "But when I figured out you were Stefan's. I had that thought in my mind but I never used it. I couldn't use it. Because I think then when I looked in your eyes and saw you for who you really were. I saw a little bit of me inside of you. And I just fell for you."

Elena looked at him. She really looked at him. Not sure what to say or what to think. She slept with him out of curiosity and than she got addicted. It must have been because he was her first. Who knew?

"Damon, I'm just glad that you were my first and I want to be with you. Even if you have crazy ex issues. I do too. But I thank Stefan everyday because he brought us together." Elena grabbed onto Damon's knee and squeezed lightly.

Damon smiled. He knew what she meant. He was glad that Anna told him what he wanted to know...

Thinking of his ex...

"Before we go any further with this, Elena, please, talk to Stefan. I want you to get everything out before you just jump to me. I don't want to seem like I'm rushing you. Because once I have you. I won't let you go."

Elena looked at him and flicked her pink wet tongue over her teeth.

"Good, because once you have me. I won't ever let you let me go."

;..;

Elena wasn't sure why she agreed to talk to Stefan about her closure. She was kinda fine with it. It would be quite difficult enough as it was to call him. She wanted nothing to do with him. He was a cheater and a liar and it was his fault that Anna came to the house. He was trying to get Damon distracted so he could sneak back in and claim her as his. Elena wasn't having that. She was going to put her foot down.

Hell to the no.

But she had to call him, to get her closure, so her and Damon could get the start, push, that they needed to began their relationship. Plus she probably might be pregnant with his kid. She didn't know and he didn't know, either. It was best to wait.

Elena grabbed her phone from Damon's room and she had to tickle him to pass by. He let her go because he couldn't handle her tickling him anymore. He watched as she walked into her room and closed the door shut. She headed towards her bed, laying on it, stretching out so she could be somewhat relaxed when she talked to Stefan. She had on question, one question only.

And whatever, answer she got back she was just going to accept. Because it would be the best and only answer she would get.

;..;

Stefan closed the door shut to Bonnie's room as she slept. He had to carry her all the way upstairs because they were watching The Lovely Bones. It was boring to Stefan but Bonnie enjoyed it, ever so often crying because of what was going on in the film. Stefan didn't care. He thought the guy was stupid. If he, personally, wanted to rape and kill women at least make sure they were hot. But Bonnie bitched at him for thinking that way and then she kissed him on the cheek and said she was sorry before turning over and falling asleep. So Stefan picked her up and carried her all the way up the stairs. Not sure whether to stay and watch the fight on her TV or his own.

He was still thinking that over while he sat in front of the TV in her living room, holding the remote in his right hand as he laid out and relaxed. His shoes were on the furniture and he didn't care. He was a guy, god damn it. He could do whatever he wanted.

He decided that he was going to watch the fight at her house and than sneak out later. Not caring if she woke up. He'd tell her that his brother called him about something.

Whatever.

Plus he was still going over whether to go to his brother's house or not to see Elena. Wondering to talk to her to settle everything so he could charm her again. He just had a funny feeling that Damon was making the moves on her and he was not liking it.

Over the past couple of hours, he realized that he really missed Elena. She was different from Bonnie in every possible way and that's what got him hooked in the first place but now he wasn't sure. He was confused and hoped that whatever was left between him and Elena would stay there.

The only thing that she would need was closure and he was not going to give her that. He was going to hold on to her.

Stefan switched the channel over to the fight and watched as they started the match. His eyes were glued to the screen and he was enjoying himself as a man should. He was hollering silently as he watched his favorite fighter throw a very good punch. He was about to stand up and do a dance until he heard his phone go off in his pocket. He dug through his pants pocket, reaching the phone to silence it. The fight was the only thing on his mind. He was so close into pushing that red little button when he caught a glimpse of the screen. It was...

Elena.

He answered the phone and turned down the volume of the TV, placing it to his ear.

He had a funny feeling that she was not calling him to say sorry for acting like such a bitch last time he saw her.

"Hello, Stefan?"

He grew stiff. She sounded out of breath. She sounded really hot.

"Yeah, this is me. How are you Elena?"

He was trying to make small talk even though the fight was on.

She was a very lucky girl.

Because if Bonnie was calling him, she would have got ignored.

Call would have been sent straight to voice mail.

He heard her clear her throat.

"Good. Look I have one question. I just need to get this off my chest before anything happens between us or anybody."

"Go on." He knew that day would come. He was not going to answer it but he couldn't deny Elena anything.

"Why did you cheat on me?"

Stefan bit his lip and stood up, pacing back and forth not sure why he did.

Because he could. Because he knew that Elena was too dumb to find out. That she would cry and tell him that she was sorry for acting like such a bitch and that she would give her precious virginity to him. That was what he was hoping for, but it did not happen.

The true reason why he cheated because deep down he was sick of her games. He didn't want to get married. He didn't want to have kids with her. He didn't even like kids so he was equally shocked that he was staying. He didn't want to be with Bonnie anymore but he didn't want to be so alone. Maybe even what was growing inside of Bonnie wasn't even his. A guy could only hope. But that was besides the point, that was far from Elena's question. He cheated because he knew that he could get away with it and he did for a couple of months until he told his brother and than it all went to hell for him but that was past and Anna was back in town. She told him that she would do all that she could to pry Damon away from whomever he was holding on too. So that was what Stefan was starting to think about and it's why he didn't want too tell Elena what he was about to tell her. He didn't want to tell her that he only cheated on her because he could and because he had fun doing it. He didn't want to tell her that every time him and Bonnie fucked that he was so close in shouting out her name because he wanted Bonnie to be Elena riding him, sucking his dick, beneath him, smiling at him, coming all over him on top of him. He couldn't tell her that.

Because if Elena did all the cheating, he knew damn well that she would feel gulity about it and the sad thing was he did feel gulity after she found out. But he just brushed it off and pushed it away.

And he knew that he would have to tell Elena something or she would never speak to him again.

He had to be better than he once was. He had to change.

He was going to be a different Stefan. A Stefan that he was afraid to become but he knew that he had to tell her if he wanted too or not. He had too.

He had too.

He stopped pacing and cut off the TV. He had recorded it at his house anyway. He ran his hands over his face and through his hair, wiping off the sweat on his palms and he tapped his foot against the ground so he could beat himself up just a little for cheating on her. It was his fault that she wasn't with him. It was his fault that Bonnie was pregnant. He knew damn well she wasn't stupid enough to open her legs up for someone else.

But he wanted to start over, that was his decision.

So he had to do this.

"I cheated because I could."

Those were simple words that Stefan said because it wrapped up everything.

It was what Elena wanted to hear, he knew, because it was the truth.

And the wall that was there between them closed and locked itself away forever.

Elena knew that...

Stefan didn't.

Oh wow, how do you feel about this chapter now that Elena has her closure? And what about the talk they had? Was it good enough for the story as a whole? I have another chapter question, it pertains to Stefan. How in what way do you want him to find out about Elena and Damon? I get the sex part but how? (Amber's request will be granted. I feel like Elena in my other story. Genie in a Bottle.( It's a really good story. First story I ever written for Delena) I hoped you enjoyed the chapter and after Stefan finds out. The Story will follow the video I created for the next couple of chapters. (It's in the last chapter)
