Salvatore's Little doll

Chapter 19

I hear the door open slowly, as if they expect me to attack them if they move too loud. I just sit there waiting patiently, eventually I hear the door closing and subtle footsteps from the 2 of them. I look up to see a unbothered Damon and a nervous Stefan. I try to speak but I am so confused and hurt that nothing comes to mind to say. But after a while of ongoing eye contact, I finally find the words to say.

"I had a nice conversation with Elena again, care to explain what she told me? Because I know damn well you were outside the room listening." Damon rolls his eyes, yet you could tell it was his way of trying to think of something to say to fill the blank space. Before Damon could say what he thought of Stefan interrupts the tense silence.

"It's true. What she said was true. Damon may not admit to it but we both loved Katherine. And when Elena came along she filled the void of anger, heartache, and confusion that Katherine gave us. Elena is a good person but she wasn't Katherine. Katherine treated us like her playthings and we bought into it so much that we were blinded to see how awful she was. So When Elena wasn't Katherine, we still clung on in hopes of having that glimpse of Katherine. Elena realized before us that we didn't love her. So she left us. Elena was on and off with both of us, never at the same time unlike Katherine. But when she realized she made it clear to both of us she was done."

Stefan says it with guilt clear in his voice, Damon on the other hand scoffs, "Really Stefan? Giving a whole sob story? If you are going to tell the story tell the whole damn story. Tell her how you are 'destined' to be with Elena and her doppelgangers. Tell her about your doppelgangers. One of us has moved on and it isn't you. I let go as soon as Elena did and you just aren't capable of it. So go back to Elena or some shit. I don't need to open up my whole fucking life to some chick I stole one night on a whim because I was drunk-"

The slap echoed throughout the room as the palm of my hand collided with Damon's face. Damon stood there looking shocked, after a few seconds he looks dead at me. He looks pissed but I can not find it in me to care.

"Do you really think that just because you are upset that Stefan told me your love life that you have the right to call me 'some chick'? Really Damon? If I was just some chick why would you keep me here for so long? Why did you turn me and force me to drink blood? I do not care how upset you are you will not take it out on me. Because none of us would be in this mess if it wasn't for you. You egotistical bitch. You are no better than Katherine from how you act. If you cant even handle a conversation I want you out of my face. Get. Out."

Damon is practically fuming after I said it. He looks like he is about to yell at me but he storms out the room and slams the door. Stefan looks so shocked as it goes down. Stefan looks at me with a sort of gentleness in his eyes. Even though I am still pissed off at both of them I motion for him to sit beside me.

"Damon mentioned you being destined to be with Elena's doppelgangers. But right now I do not care. Can you just please tell me honestly if you genuinely care for me." Stefan sighs, and sits with a brooding expression on his face. He stays like this for a bit before speaking.

"Of course I care for you. And I have feelings for you. But I owe you somewhat of an explanation. Yes. I am in a way destined to be with Elena and her doppelgangers but it is complicated. But I mean this when I say it. Over the time we spent together you mean the world to me. And I do not want to let you go. Please just think on everything tonight. I will tell them to leave to give you space. And I will talk to Damon as well. I truly care for you and I need you."

Stefan is being completely honest, I can tell by his tone of voice. I reach my hand over to his and place mine on top. Drawing circles on the back of his hand. As I think it all out.

"Stefan I am not sure how we can work this out if you already have a predetermined love life. But if you care about me the way you say you do I will try to push past it, I care about both you and Damon. Well right now I am pissed with Damon. And I think that we all need a break from each other. Thank you for offering to talk to them for me. Tell them all I said bye. I am going to go to the bathroom. After I take a bath I might try talking to Damon again. And thank you for telling me the truth."

Stefan gets up, without saying a word leaves the room. As I hear some discussion in the living room I go to the bathroom and start brushing my hair. As I start the water I hear a knock on the door.
