Thanksgiving Day November 23, 2006
The boys are in downstairs rummaging like madmen to give me a proper Thanksgiving dinner. I’m left in my studio to well, be me. I have my sound system, with my iPod attached, blaring as usual, when one of my new favorites comes on. Rising from my lounge as the familiar intro to “Ain’t No Other Man” flood the room, only one person comes to mind. Come on! I can’t pass up being accompanied by Christina’s voice. Making my way around the room, I can’t believe how complete I feel right now. Stefan and Damon have morphed into brother’s right before my eyes. It’s not the kind where they just tolerate each other. No, they love each other. Stefan’s said that I’ve had something to do with that. If that’s true, it has to be because of how many times I’ve screamed at them to stop acting like children.

“What are you up to Damon?” Stefan asks Damon in my room. I cling to the wall in the bathroom out of sight to eavesdrop. Neither of them knows I’m even in here.
“We’ve had this argument Stefan. It’s tired and I’m over it.” Damon says
“I know how you are and if you plan on hurting her, I swear I wi-”
“I’m not gonna hurt her! Have I given you any indication that I would? No! So why do you keep asking?” Damon cuts him off
“You might fool her, but you’re not fooling me. I know you better than anyone else.” he says
“If you think I’m being so horrible towards her, then why don’t you go spill you little guts to her? Admit it Stefan. You have nothing on me. You have absolutely nothing to merit these silly accusations. You’re fishing for any reason to get her to resent me. And I know exactly why you do it.” he says vehemence dripping from his voice.
“And what reason do you think it is Damon? I don’t need a reason when it comes to you and a woman.” Stefan says
“Yes you do. Even if you lie to yourself about it. There’s always one reason when it comes to you .” Damon says
“Speak your mind then. Get it off your chest. What reason do I have for wanting to protect her?” Stefan says all too hushed.
“Because you want her for yourself and you’re too much of a coward to admit it. Instead, you think I wanna bring harm to her. So, every chance you get, you’ll whisper in her ear and try to turn her against me.” Damon growls
“You know, sometimes your ego surpasses you completely. I wanna protect her, yes. I want her to be safe from you! I want to know that I can rest easily knowing that you’re not trying to get in her head. But, as far as wanting her goes. You’re completely wrong.” Stefan says
“You’re lying! Because if you didn’t want her, she wouldn’t be sleeping in your bed every night.” Damon growls again
“If you must know, being that you actually care about someone other than yourself, she has nightmares. I woke up to her screaming her head off one night. I gave her the option to find out if they would go away if she slept with me. There’s nothing going on between us. She knows this. So what’s with the jealousy Damon? Since when are you insecure?” Stefan says arrogantly before Damon hits him and they end up in a fight.
“Stop it the both of you!” I shout stepping out of the bathroom.
When neither of them lets go of the other I shout, “Now! Or, I‘m leaving this house and I’m not coming back!” I tried. Stupid, they know you’re bluffing.
Walking over to them and standing between them, a hand on each chest, “You can’t keep doing this to each other! Ever since I found out about Damon, it’s been constant bickering! Not to mention the constant bitching about each other to me! You’re not children! I shouldn’t have to put up with this! You’re brothers! Act like it and love it! I don’t care about what happened in the past! The two of you are gonna put it all aside, now! If not for each other, then for me! Because both of you are driving me insane!” I shout looking from one to the other.
“I’m sorry.” They say simultaneously looking at me ashamed.
“No! Don’t apologize to me. You two need to fix your relationship. You’re brothers. Be brothers. If you can do that then you know where to find me.”
