There was a long pause as both Stefan and Elena stared at each other, Stefan struck by sudden shock at what Elena had said before slowly nodding and turning away, "I understand, Elena…you care about him and I couldn't expect any different."
Elena was surprised by his response. She expected a different kind of response. She wasn't quite sure what exactly she had been expecting but that certainly was not it. Elena walked over to him, suddenly feeling the urge to tell him everything but at the same time, not wanting to. She knew that in the past, she would have easily told him how she felt about everything, but things had changed so much since that time and he was not the one she could really trust anymore. But despite that, she still felt bad, because she knew she still love d him and deep down that he still loved her. "I'm so sorry Stefan."
"It's alright." He answered quickly. "Just promise me something."
Elena was just about willing to say or do anything to put a smile on Stefan's face again, or at least to help him in any way she could. "Anything, Stefan."
He turned to look into her eyes, "Promise me, if you love him, you won't give up on him. Damon is, well Damon….But he needs you."
Elena thought about that for the longest moment. Not because it was difficult to agree to, but because it was an odd request for someone who acted like he didn't care to make. But nevertheless, eventually she nodded, saying, "I promise."
