So I hope you like this chapter! Sorry for the last one but Elena needs to figure out what she feels and Damon will ruin that and make it difficult for her :/ he's soooo shocking!

I drove so fast I barely saw the road and my eyes blurred as tears continuously flowed over my face leaving shining silvery streaks over my cheekbones, my hands gripped the wheel tightly leaving my knuckles white and the skin over them stretched out. I switched on the radio hoping to sooth myself with soft comforting words only to hear the same song Damon and I had danced to the night before Goldfrapp-Ooh la la, I hummed along with the tune sighing deeply and leaning my head on the wheel as I broke down in sobs and the tears flowed fasted causing my breath to hitch in my throat. The car collided with something and my body jerked further foreword letting my head swing back from its resting place on the wheel and slam back down with such a force that blood pooled from my nose and the window smashed the glass scattering out like a shower of confetti cutting and scratching at my face, I slowly slipped into un-conciseness my vision blurring as I leaned my head against the wheel once more. All I could see was blackness and I couldn't seem to find a light anywhere my sub-conciseness grasped with weak pale hands at the black walls slipping every time I attempted to pull myself from the dark, all I could feel was the pain the physical and mental pain that overshadowed my existence and made me wish I was dead, the hurt and anger towards Damon, the hurt of what I was doing to both brothers , the pressing Issue of Klaus coming for me and the pain of knowing that I was to die sometime leaving all my moments with both brothers being too good to be true. I never felt the strong hands that pulled me from the car, I didn't see that large tree that I had wrapped Damon's car around, I didn't feel the cool lips kiss my forehead and the rescuer that saved me and whispered "I'm Sorry", It Was all dreamlike and unreality.

I awoke in my bed at home with an extremely pissed Jenna sat at the end of my bed, I hurt all over, every bone in my body ached and as I sat up Jenna glared at me watching my pull myself up from bed,

"Where the hell have you been?, You disappear for Three Days with Damon Salvatore, than Jeremy does a runner after you with Caroline and Bonnie and then you show up acting like you're drunk, stumble in through the front door at 3am and stomp to you room in slutty clothes giggling to yourself covered in bruises, Then Elena Gilbert you don't bring any clothes back with you except the ones on your back"

I stared in shock as Jenna spoke fixing my eyes upon hers as she stood from my bed and left the room slamming my door in the process, I rubbed my head and wobbled from bed before moving into the bathroom dropping my clothes in the process, I looked in the mirror at myself to see worn eyes, bruises covering every inch of my body but my face, a cut along my left eyebrow, other than that nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I mused over Jenna's words and wondered if Damon cared at all about me and knew I was home or was he still in the motel screwing my mother, my eyes drifted to my neck where the skin seemed plain and missing of some very important detail. A soft knock sounded on the bathroom door and I steadied myself covering my nakedness with a towel and opened the door. Stefan stood there with a soft sorry smile on his face and his bright green eyes sparkled with sorrow, "Stefan" I stuttered pulling the towel to cover more of me letting a pink blush cloud my pale worn face.

"I Erm, I just came to check on you, I. After I left the hotel I was in touch with Caroline later that night she told me about Damon and I'm sorry I know it hurt you and I felt you should know I'm here if you need to talk about anything, about us" His eyes held the slightest hint of hope before he studied my tired confused face and then it vanished and was replaced by the sorrow before.

"Give me two minutes Stefan, I need to talk and you're the only one I can talk too" I smiled sadly and closed the bathroom door again as Stefan sat on the edge of my bed, As soon as the door was locked the tears trailed softly down my face and I jumped in the shower letting the warm water sooth my bruises and cuts, After washing my hair I jumped from the shower again and shoved on the towel quickly brushing my hair as it sprung into curls as I left the bathroom, Stefan was where he had been when I closed the door his hands laying smoothly on his lap and his head hung in defeat, he looked up as I left the bathroom and I smiled at him as he gave me a sad smile before hanging his head once more. I grabbed some clothes from my drawers and hopped back to the bathroom before changing and leaving again. I took my place beside Stefan on my bed and took his cool pale hands in mine.

"Stefan I..."

"No Elena I understand, we don't need to go through all the reasons you choose Damon in the end. I always knew you would from that first moment you both met, It was just a matter of time" He studied my face before he continued.

"Elena I love you, I love you so much but I will learn to love you like a sister and I will do everything in my power to protect you, Isobel is probably the last person you want to hear about now but she wants to help her and your Father John are back in town as we speak" I opened my mouth to protest but Stefan cut me off once more.

"Elena they are here to help, Isobel and John killed Elijah, he's dead' gone. So that means Katherine is free from the tomb. She has taken the liberty of wanting to protect you and stay at the boarding house with my brother and I, I know how you might feel about that but she needs something now. There is some human left in her." His words faltered and he dropped his head again avoiding my eyes. I took Stefan's face in my hands and smiled at him.

"It's okay Stefan, I understand" he moved to place a soft kiss on my cheek after I spoke but I moved my head and kissed his lips chastely before pulling away.

"Our last kiss should have been where we loved each other the right way" I said before he pulled me into a hug wrapping his arms around me as if he were afraid to let go.

...

If the friends had taken the time to ignore their emotions for a split second they would have noticed the figure outside the window looking in on what seemed to be a happy couple, but they didn't see him, or the tear that left his bright blue eyes as he bowed his head in defeat so his dark tousled hair fell around his perfect face. If they had seen him maybe they could have saved many lives that night.

Btw I am now having it so Elijah was already in town like in the TV series but Klaus is not here yet... Or is he...

Can you guess who witnessed the kiss? (Am sorry for no Damon this chapter but Elena and Stefan did need to have this talk)
