Love Triangle (TVD)

c h a p t e r 2 5

After having to go back to reality, Stefan drives us back to the Salvatore house.

"You wanna go in?" He asks and I sigh as I close my eyes. I know I'm going to be judged... by Damon, Klaus, Caroline, Bonnie.. maybe even Elena.. even though she did the same thing.

"Y-Yeah... In a minute." I say, I take deep breaths and I feel Stefan slip his hand into mine.

"Hey, it's okay. You deserved better than Damon and now that you've got it, he can see what he lost." I nod and look up to him.

As we make our way into the house, hand and hand, all eyes land on us the second we make it in the door. I let out shaky breaths and Stefan's hand rubs the small of my back to calm me and I look to him.

"Brittany.. Are you and Stefan..?" Caroline asks darting her eyes from Stefan to me. I look up at Stefan and nod a little.

"Yes..." I say so quiet I can barely hear myself. I feel the judgement radiating off of almost every person in that house.

"Wait, so you're basically another Katherine except you also slept with Klaus?" Damon says and I glare at him.

"Excuse me? I was in pain. Well, sorry I didn't want to be treated like shit by you anymore. It is your fault I turned my humanity off and It's your fault I slept with Klaus. You did this." I say now standing not an inch away from Damon's face. I see him look from my lips back to my eyes. "Don't even think about it." I whisper and turn away back to Stefan. "So yes, Stefan and I are dating, I'm sorry I didn't want to be alone, or treated like shit anymore, I didn't want to be called a slut by Damon anymore and I didn't want to be known as the girl that goes from guy to guy but I'm sorry I guess that's just what I am." I say my cheeks burning red. I look from Elena to Caroline to Damon.

"Look Brittany, I understand where you're coming from... I did the same thing, I got in between two brothers too and... I was with both of them at one point too... so was Caroline and so was Katherine. It's just what happened and you shouldn't be judged for it." Elena says and I shake my head.

"The difference between me and you Elena is you are always the first choice... by everyone! Matt liked you, Stefan liked you, Damon liked you." Caroline steps in,

"And that guy Liam..." Elena gives her a death stare and she steps back.

"Even guys I haven't heard about!" I say and look back to Stefan. "I'm finally with someone good.." I say. "I gotta go," I say shrugging. "I'll be at my apartment." I say and Stefan grabs my wrist.

"Hey, call if you need anything okay?" I nod and hug him goodbye.

As I unlock the door to my apartment, I slam the door shut behind me and throw my phone onto the bed. I'm not going to answer any texts or calls; unless from Stefan because I think he kinda.. makes me a better person. Because he's such a good person it makes me wanna be a good person too.

I sit on my black couch and sigh. I think I deserve a day to myself... I turn on the TV and begin to watch random shows till I find one that's interesting.

I wake up to my phone ringing. I fell asleep watching Say Yes to The Dress... I look at the caller ID and see it's my mom.... shit..

"Hi! Mom.." I say fakely as I lay my head in my hands.

"Brittany. You said you'd visit, and call.. you've done neither in what?... a few months?!" She says angrily. I shrug.

"Yeah, I'm sorry mom.. moving in has been stressful.. I've been trying to make friends around where I live... I'm sorry." I groan and I hear her also sigh on the other line.

"I expect you to visit soon, and by soon I mean sometime this week. We miss you." She informs me and I nod as if she can see me.

"Okay mom. Got it..." I scoff as we both hang up. Great... just.. wonderful..
