I got a lot of requests to make this story a twoshot, with a chapter from Elena's POV on everything that happened. So, I finally decided to write it, and it is to the song 'Helpless' which is also from the musical Hamilton! I hope you guys enjoy, and I can't wait to hear your guy's thoughts on the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries or any of the music from Hamilton!

Once you get to the flashback, italics signal everything in the flashback.


Elena smiled at Stefan as they were in the back of the car on their way to the airport. Laying her head on his shoulder, she bit her lip and sighed. "I can't believe we're married," she said with a laugh. "When I'm with you, looking into those eyes, the sky's the limit."

Stefan smiled and leaned down and kissed her nose. "I love you, Elena Salvatore," he says as he wraps an arm around her waist and pulls her closer to him. "Do you remember the night we met? I can't believe that was four years ago."

Elena smiled, closing her eyes, and drifting all the way back to 200-, at the back to school party where she had officially met Stefan Salvatore-the love of her life.


Elena had never been the type to try and grab the spotlight; she left that all to her very best friend, Caroline. Caroline had dragged her to a back-to-school party, with all the freaks, geeks, rebels, jocks, and other cliques that the school had. It was a hot night. She was sitting on a bench, away from the life of the party, with a beer in her hand, as she watched Caroline dazzle the room. Her eyes drifted over to the entrance to the park, because she was waiting for her brother to arrive, so that she could keep a better eye on him. Then she noticed him. Her heart leaped out of her chest.

She tried to catch his eye as he walked over and talked to Caroline a bit. Everyone was dancing as the music was being played a lot louder than she would have liked. Elena got up and made her way over to wear Caroline was now standing alone. A few people tried to get her to grind to the rhythm, but she quickly declined. She grabbed Caroline's arm, because Caroline was known for trying to get with hot new strangers. "This one's mine," Elena said with a smile.

Elena watched as Caroline took the steps across the room to where Stefan was, turning so she could face him. Stefan's back was to Elena, so she couldn't see his face. elena could feel her nerves kicking in, wondering what in the hell Caroline was doing. Caroline's hand fell onto Stefan's arm, and Elena thought that her chances with Stefan were done for. But then he looked back at Elena and she was so helpless.

His eyes were this gorgeous, deep brown, and Elena could feel herself staring at them; the sky was the limit in those few moments. She was so totally and completely helpless. She knew that she would be down for whatever he wanted, because she could feel herself drowning in his eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" Elena heard his voice, and she about melted.

"I'm about to change your life," Caroline said, and Elena made a note to thank her for that later.

"Then by all means, lead the way," Stefan said, and Elena turned around at that exact moment and smiled.

"Elena Gilbert," I stick out my hand, and I feel him take it, "It's a pleasure to meet you." Elena let her eyes flicker to Caroline's smiling. It was her silent way of saying thank you.

"Gilbert?" he asked aloud, and Elena frowned, as she realized that he had obviously heard about her parents. Caroline, though, being the saving grace that she was, steered the conversation away from that topic.

"My best friend," Caroline said with a smile, and Stefan nodded.

"Thank you," Elena said, remembering what he had done for her in history class today, "For saving me in history class today."

"If it takes smarting off to Mr. Tanner for us to meet, it was worth it," Stefan says as he brings Elena's hand to his lips. Elena's heart flutters and she giggles a bit.

"I'll leave you to it," Caroline said, but Elena had barely heard her.


One year later, Elena and Stefan were talking on the phone nightly. Her life seemed to get better with ever sweet love note and texts that he'd write to her. Elena would continuously laugh at Caroline, because she basically wanted to form a harem. Caroline's response everytime Stefan did something sweet was, "I'm just saying, if you really loved me, you would share him." Ha!


Two years later, Elena was in the living room stressing. Her brother was stone-faced as Stefan was asking for his blessing. She was dying inside as Stefan wined and dined, and she was trying not to cry. There was nothing that Stefan's mind couldn't do. Jeremy makes his way across the room to Stefan, and Elena panicked, thinking they were through. But then, Jer grabbed Stefan's hand and said, "Be true," and Stefan looked back at her, smiling.

Elena was helpless, looking into his eyes again. She was down for the wedding day count, while she was drowning in the deep brown haze. She couldn't believe that the boy was going to be eternally hers. He was a vampire; and soon, she would be too. They were truly going to be together for forever. Once he got to the proposal part of course.


"Elena, I don't have much to my name. I do have a couple acres of land, a country from which I've been banned, and a dollap of small-town fame. All I have is my honor, a tolerance for pain, a century's worth of knowledge, and my top-notch brain. Insane, how your friends and family bring out a different side of me. Jeremy confides in me; Caroline tried to take a bite of me!" Elena laughed at that part a bit, but quickly encouraged Stefan to continue. "But don't stress, my love for you is never in doubt. We'll get a little place in Mystic Falls and we'll figure it out. I've been living without a family since I was a child. My father was an abuser, my mother died, so I grew up kind of wild. But what I'll never forget, was my mother's face when my dad first hit my brother and I," Stefan knelt down on one knee, "And I swear to God, Elena, that's something that you will never have to feel. So, will you do me the honor of-"

"Yes!" Elena cried out, grabbing the ring and slipping it on her finger. "I do. I do. I do."

"Elena," Stefan laughed, as he tried to grab the ring back so that he could do this right, but Elena kept shaking her head.

"I already do," Elena smiled, "You don't even have to complete your thought."

"I've never felt so helpless." Stefan joked as he picked up Elena and swung her aroud. "My life's so great because you're in it."

"I look into your eyes and the sky's the limit," Elena said softly as she kissed him.


"Lexi said that if I moved back to Mystic Falls I could be a new man, you know?" Stefan said, bringing Elena out of her thoughts. "I think it's because she miraculously knew that I'd meet you, the love of my life."

"I love you Stefan," Elena said with a smile.

"I love you too, Elena."
