Chapter Six
It took Stefan a while to respond. Even then, all her could do was nod, trying to ignore the pain he saw highlighted in her features. He wasn't supposed to feel anything but anger and rage, and he mentally cursed himself for thinking other emotions. He didn't want to care. Unfortunately, to seek his vengeance he had had to make himself feel again. "Yes, I did." He finally said, "But I no longer do. You've moved on, as you should have."
Elena took deep breaths, trying to stop her crying. When her sobs finally quieted down, she spoke, "That's not true, Stefan, and deep down you know that. You know that I still love you." Her hands were clutched into fists at her side, as she tried to fight the emotion that was overpowering her.
Stefan shook his head, unwilling to believe that she still loved him despite the trail of continuous tears running down her face. Her life had fallen apart, it had nothing to do with him. She had just decided to break down in front of him because he was the person she was used to breaking down in front of. "You have Damon now." He knew how true his words were, because of all he had heard back when Klaus had snatched his emotions away from him.
Elena didn't deny it. Because she knew that she did have Damon. He was there for her, and he made sure she knew it.
Elena ran a hand through her hair, thinking of what to say but having no words to express her emotions. There was no easy way to tell anyone that she was in love with two people, and besides, she didn't want to tell anyone that. She could keep it a hidden secret, away from the world until she finally made up her mind about who to choose. "But Stefan…" She trailed off, wanting so much to say something to him to make him believe in her, believe in the possibility that their relationship could one day resume itself.
But there was nothing to say.
The two of them, so lost in their thoughts as they were, didn't notice Damon coming up behind them. Seeing Elena's upset face and Stefan's unreadable expression, he judged the situation suspiciously before throwing his brother into a tree. "What did you do, Stefan?"
AN: Another chapter! I found it a little hard to write after watching tonight's episode, which I thought was pretty good, although I missed a little of what Elena said to Damon at the end of it on the porch (hmm… O-O)…
Episode Rants:
Spoilers: Anyways, I was so happy that Jeremy left (Sorry, didn't like him too much) And I'm wondering what is going on between Klaus and Caroline and why he so openly saved her…. :O And Stefan, I really love you, but that was a dick move (heh heh TVD's favorite bad word). Poor Elena. Love the funeral idea though…and I was like Matt/Elena *snuggles* I love them together too.
Message to Stefan: You are not losing anyone, you didn't lose them if you didn't notice, but you're causing them to pull away…You're seeking vengeance on something you did yourself. YOU are pushing them away….
Please do not be mad at me or mean to me, these are my opinions. I respect your opinions, so I hope you respect mine. 3
LOTS OF LOVE 3
