Chapter 6
" I can't believe what I just saw in there." Elena said pacing around in the front lawn. Stefan placed his hands into his pockets.
"It does seem to be real."
"I know and that's the problem." Elena said , stopping to look at him. Stefan's brows furrowed.
"Why is it a problem? We all wanted Damon to change right? Now that I think about it, he hasn't gotten into trouble for a long time. Maybe Bonnie is the reason behind that."
Elena moved closer to Stefan. "Don't tell me you approve of this!"
"He's my brother and I want him happy. Don't you?" He replied. For a moment, he saw a bit of Kathrine in her. Elena was being greedy and selfish as if she wanted Damon all to herself. He wanted to say something about it but decided not to out of his love for her. Elena hesitated with her answer and Stefan took notice but once again, did not say anything.
"But it's with Bonnie." She said outraged. Why wasn't Stefan understanding the situation? Bonnie shouldn't be with a man like Damon. It was Damon for crying out loud. They all knew what he was like and what he was capable of. Stefan sighed, still looking at her.
"Bonnie is a good girl. You know that too and I rather see him with her than with someone loose."
Elena jammed her finger into his chest and poked him hard. "You ARE condoning this….this nightmare!"
Stefan rubbed his hands on her shoulders and Elena quickly pulled away as if disgusted.
"Don't be that way Elena." He said out of frustration. Elena shook her head in tears and then ran to her car. She got in, fumbled with her keys and went home. Stefan threw his hands in the air and returned inside the house. There, he saw Damon with his arms around Bonnie, looking at him expectantly.
"So how did it go?" Damon asked, sarcasm heavy in his voice. He couldn't help but smirk. "I see that Elena isn't with you."
"She's not taking it well." He said and walked over to the scotch.
"She'll get over it." Bonnie said. Stefan poured himself half a glass and gulped it down.
"Why didn't you go after her?" Damon asked sounding not the least bit concerned. Truth be told, Stefan didn't want to. He didn't want to see any more of Elena's selfishness. For if he did, he would have said something out loud that he didn't want to say. He would have called her out on being a bitch. Maybe no one has ever told her and that's why she acts the way she does. Stefan didn't want to be the one to tell her. He didn't want to risk their love or relationship. Damon was the one who usually did the dirty work.
Stefan didn't answer but retreated to his room upstairs. He dialed Elena on his iphone a total of five times with no answer. Finally on the sixth time, she texted him saying she was ok but didn't want to talk right now.
Lunch at school was strained. Bonnie sat with Elena but they didn't talk. This went on for days and Caroline could not get either to budge and tell her what was going on. Finally on day three, Bonnie spoke to Elena.
"I hate us being like this. I still want to be friends with you Elena." Bonnie said. Elena looked up from picking her food and at Bonnie.
"I don't know if I want to be friends anymore." She whispered. Bonnie grew angry.
"Because I took your Damon?" She didn't mean to say that out loud.
"He's not my Damon!" Elena heard and replied angrily.
"Then why are you acting like I did!" Bonnie shouted back. Caroline looked at the two as if she were following the ball during a tennis match. She could not believe what she was hearing.
"You two are fighting over Damon?" She asked. The two stopped and looked at Caroline as if she had grown two heads.
"Elena doesn't like that we're going out." Bonnie said, her tone as if she was stating fact and not opinion.
"You're going out with Damon?" Caroline asked Bonnie. Bonnie shook her head. Rather than get upset, Caroline squealed.
"About time you got a man girlfriend." She said and moved to sit next to her. "You gotta tell me how it happened. I always thought he was kinda mysterious and sexy even if he is a jerk."
"That's because you think you're better than everybody." Bonnie replied. Caroline smiled and flipped her blonde hair.
"That's because I am." She said. Bonnie laughed at her reply and paid her no mind. Elena didn't want to hear how it happened. She got up from the table, threw away her food and left. Caroline's reaction is how Elena should have reacted. Caroline and Bonnie had grown close since the tomb incident and Elena being the way she was acting was bringing them closer. Over lunch, Bonnie told her friend how Damon was growing on her, how they would talk all night and how everything seemed to happen after she told him that she believed in him. "I never thought he could become a good guy." Caroline said.
"No one did and that was the problem. I would have been discouraged too if no one believed it me. I would have said fuck it, personally." Caroline nodded at Bonnie's reply. The bell rang, signaling that lunch would be over in a few minutes.
"We should double date some time. At least I won't have to worry about you flirting with my boyfriend." Caroline said. Bonnie smiled and hugged Caroline.
"No, no you won't."
END.
A/N: To the Elena fans, I'm sorry if I am harsh with my Elena put downs. I guess love triangles make me angry because there is always one person with the short end of the stick. I'm the same way with twilight thinking Bel is a bytch for stringing poor Jacob. I think she too loves having two men chase after her because she loves the attention. It's mean toying with others feelings like that. Why is it always Stefan? There is nothing wrong with Damon.
