I blushed deeply. What Stefan had told Lexi had melted away some of the anger that I felt towards him. I leant অগ্রবর্তী and placed my hand on his knee. Damon shuffled uncomfortably on the arm of the chair.
“Stefan, I…never knew আপনি felt that way before,” I ব্যক্ত softly. He looked deep into my eyes. Suddenly I felt a twinge of guilt. Stefan still loved me and had recently walked in on me with his brother. It really hit me that if Damon had told me all this and that Stefan still loved me that I would never have gotten with Damon at all – even though my feelings towards Damon probably wouldn’t have changed. I was beginning to become confused and uncomfortable myself. Part of me knew that I still loved Stefan. The other part knew that I loved Damon. It was like a war was going on inside me.
“Well I guess it doesn’t really make much of a difference now, does it? Since obviously my brother satisfies আপনি enough.” I was taken aback দ্বারা his sudden change of attitude. He was on his feet, his eyes boring hatred into Damon. Damon leant back slightly and smirked.
“Well maybe if you’d told her that before-” Damon began, but Stefan roared with rage and threw himself at his brother. He smashed him against the দেওয়াল and had his hands at Damon’s collar.
“THAT WAS YOUR JOB!!! I told আপনি to tell her that after I’d gone but instead আপনি let Elena believe that I’d gone because I didn’t প্রণয় her anymore. And then I suppose আপনি used her ignorance to your advantage, hm? Well are আপনি satisfied? Did আপনি get what আপনি wanted?” He had Damon দ্বারা the throat now and I was terrified. I couldn’t সরানো and I knew that if I could there wouldn’t be much I could do anyway.
“Stefan don’t! Please, stop it!” Stefan looked back at me with a look of pure misery. I knew what he was thinking. He knew that there was nothing he could do, not now. Damon and I had happened and that was that. But I was beginning to want Stefan again. My feelings for him that had been replaced দ্বারা anger, sadness and abandonment were slowly turning back again. Oh no, I can’t go through that again, I thought to myself. This was so like me – when I had one brother I wanted the other.
“Look, Elena. I…I can’t do this. Not now. Maybe tomorrow অথবা something we can carry this little story on. I know I didn’t get to say much, but right now I have to go and fe- …I have to go and do something.” And without giving me a chance to say a word he was gone. Damon was still standing where Stefan had left him, rubbing his neck.
“Damon, আপনি do know that আপনি should have told me, don’t you?” I stood up and walked over to him.
“Yes, I know. But I told আপনি why I didn’t.” He put his hands on my sides.
“Wasn’t that a bit selfish though?” He nodded.
“But that’s what I am. A selfish, dangerous, cocky vampire. Just how আপনি like it,” he ব্যক্ত with a grin.
“That may have an edge of truth about it…” I leant up and planted a চুম্বন on his lips. Five মিনিট later we broke apart. He held me in his arms and we hugged for ages. I didn’t want to let go. But I knew that at some point I had to.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena ব্যক্ত sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a তারিখ tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See আপনি tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent আরো time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but আপনি know that. আপনি basically stalked me with your calls to get আপনি out of trouble. How many nights did আপনি spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did আপনি fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, আপনি should be awake” she ব্যক্ত with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t প্রদর্শনী any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
