Stefans POV

Stefan walked into school seeing Elena fidget with her locker with a dazed expression on her face.

"Hey" he said

"Hey" she replied sounding tired.

"Caroline's ok for now. Im gonna check on her later. " he said leaning against her locker.

"What about the gut she-?" unable to finish her sentence he gave her the answer.

"Ugh, it's taken care of." he sighed.

She looked down "Damon's right isn't he? It won't end well for her" she looked up expectingly.

"No, I'm gonna make sure that he's wrong." he said with a hint of anger in his voice.

She sighed and continued "I just- I can't believe what this day has turned into." she put a hand through her hair looking up to the ceiling tears threatining to fall.

He sighs again.

"Not your normal day, huh?"

She held onto her neck and looked to a spot on the floor and shook her head "Mm-mm, i was stupid to think that it could be." She stared into his eyes, he expected to feel an overwhelming feeling of love when she looked into his eyes like he always does but this time. Nothing. she continued " I mean, nothing about my life is normal, my best friend is a witch. Boyfriends a vampire..." he glanced down. "... and i have a doppleganger who's hell-bent on destroying all of us."

"I'm sorry." he said simply he was still confused every time when he was with Elena his heart would skip a beat every time the choclate brown eyes would bore into his, his heart would skip a beat but nothing. Still nothing. "What had changed?" he thought.

"No, it's not your fault, Stefan. It's no one's fault. You know, it is what it is." she said in a small voice.

He reached to touch her expecting his skin to feel like a pleasuring tingle each time he touched her but still. Nothing.

"Im fine. Im fine." she gripped onto his hand "it's just- you know what? Im fine. Okay i'm gonna call you tommorow. Okay" she shut her locker and let go of his hand. "Good night, Stefan." she hurried away. "Good night" he sighed.

"What is wrong with me?" he thought.

Carolines POV

Caroline shot straight up from her bed. Why was she dreaming of Stefan Salvatore? She looked at her bedside clock 1:03 she huffed and lay back down fiddling with her pj top. She decided to blame her dream on her new Vamp emotions and started to think about Matt instead.

1:09, she heard her window slide up, she used her vampire speed to hid behind the edge of her window, scared incase it was Kathrine.

Matt climbed in when she asked "What are you doing here?".

He jumped and turned to her and smiled. "uh... i came to see if today's basket-case period had expired."

She huffed. "You should just go because my mom's here." she went to walk away when matt followed her.

"You've been dodging me all day. I mean, i'm more insecure than you are now."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that you almost died and it really freaked me out. And it got me thinking, you know, because i'm just... i'm not in a position where i can lose someone else right now." she nodded "I relised that even though today i wanted to throttle you..." she looked up to him and nodde again. "...I'm pretty sure that i'm in love with you." she looked at him shocked. Had she heard him right? should she say it back? did she feel the same way? he silenced her thoughts as he continued to talk. "And now it seems like you don't feel the same way."

She decided to test her emotions to see if she could answer her questions and kissed him. Although it was a good kiss she felt nothing. But then she thought of Stefan. She wondered how he kissed. Wait! Now she was thinking of how he kissed? She had to get these new VAmp emotions under control. Feeling guilty she pulled him into a hug deciding to spear his feelings didn't tell him how she really felt. But then it hit her her nose was burried into his neck, his blood smelled so good... she stopped herself and took slow shallow breaths and smiled.

"Thank you Stefan" she thought.

Stefans POV

Stefan climbed through Elena's window and kissed her on the cheek he knew his emotions from earlier was just due to a hard long night as soon as his lips touched her cheek the normal flutter in his dead heart returned.

Elena woke up "Mm. Hi. What time is it?" she asked sounding a little groggy.

"it's almost dawn. Come with me." he whispered taking her hand.

They bothed walked to the edge of the Ferris Wheel.

"Stefan, what are we doing here? We're gonna get caught." she whispered.

"Well, i compelled the guard to go on break..." he turned and faced her "... so i can kiss my girlfriend on top of the Ferris wheel." Just then the wheel illuminated with bright lights and Elena chucked.

"Stefan..." she began.

"We have to take these moments, Elena. All right? What Kathrine did to Caroline could be just the beginning. Then there's things with Tyler's family that we don't understand yet. And there's always the D-word." she smiled at that he put his hand on her neck and continued. "But i came back to this town to start a life with you. We can't forget to live it." we both smiled and she took my hand and nodded.

"But, Stefan, how are w gonna get to the top?" she glaced up, but looked at Stefan and smiled.

"I guess you'll just have to hold on tight." he said pulling her close and jumping to the top of the wheel. Elena chuckled when they landed as the cart rocked back and forth.

He pulled a strand of hair back from her face and looked into those beautiful brown eyes but to his amazment and confusion he felt nothing again.

"What?" she asked looking at his confused face.

"Hmmm... nothing... it's just so nice to see you laugh." he put on a fake smile and she leaned in. Dreading incase he felt nothing again he hesitated but she pulled him closer.

They continued to kiss and Stefan's head was full with questions. Why did he feel differently about kissing her? Did he still love her? How would Carolines lips feel? Should he just ignore the bizzare feelings towards Elena? WAIT! backup did he just wonder what would Caroline's lips feel like? Before he could answer all they questions she pulled away.

"It's not gonna get any easier, is it" she sighed breaking him from his thoughts.

He sighed "No, it's not."

"Definetly Not!" he thought.
