PART 21

DAMON'S POV

  It was several hours after the stupid damned ritual, and everyone was hanging around downstairs at my house. No one showed any signs of wanting to leave, and I couldn't blame them. I guess no one feels like being alone tonight and I can't blame them, what we all went through was pretty traumatizing, even for me.

 Currently I was alone in my room, sipping on a blood bag. I didn't think it would be a good idea to just..uh..eat in front of everyone. Blood would remind them too much of what happened earlier.

  "Come in." I said as someone lightly knocked on my door. The door knob twisted and my little brother waltzed in with this weird expression on his face.

  Uh oh. Let me tell you one thing, I may not get along with Stefan sometimes(meaning most of the time), but I still knew his personality like the back of my hand. I've seen this face before, and it only meant one thing. He was upset about something, and a sneaky suspicion told me it had something to do with Elena and I.

  I really hoped that I was wrong. It wasn't because I was afraid Stefan would beat me up for stealing his girl-I can kick his ass on any day-it's just I don't think Elena was ready for everyone to know about us. I get that she feels guilty, and frankly, so do I. Stefan loved her as much as I did, that I knew, and it was just cruel to steal someone's love away from them. But what could I do? Love wasn't something that anyone could control, I couldn't stay away from her. Not now, not ever.

  "Uh...are you listening?" Stefan's voice brought me back from my train of thoughts.

  "Yeah, of course." I looked straight at him, pretending that that I've been paying attention. He didn't look convinced.

  "So, what I said was...you and Elena huh..." he said ever so slowly, that sour expression turning even more bitter as he forced out the words. Shit. He knew. But how?

  "We.." I tried to come up with something to say, but I really didn't know what. Was I supposed to tell him the details of how Elena and I fell in love? "Uh...how did you find out?"

  "You really think I would be that dense?" he asked, snorting. I nodded at him in response, which earned me a stern look from him. What? He WAS pretty dense sometimes.

  "I felt the change in her a long time ago, it was like she never paid attention to me anymore and things between us just weren't the same as before."

  "I told myself it was because too much had been going on and after a while it'll all be OK. But then...I saw how she cried for you after she read through your dairy. And still I tried to convince myself that it's because Elena's a nice person, not because she felt anything for you."

  "But I realized how wrong I was when she ran for you tonight, not caring about getting hurt at all. That's when I knew everything was over for me. You...you have her heart now."

  Stefan looked like he was on the verge of crying, which was something that he had never done in my presence. I was about to make fun of him, but stopped myself when I realized I would be crying too if I had to let Elena go.

  For a moment, I didn't  know what to say. I felt like this was my cue to say sorry, but in case you haven't noticed, I really suck at this apologizing stuff. Instead, we stood there in awkward silence.
