[Stefan's P.O.V]
It was just the three of us sitting on the edges of my bed. It was awkward silence until Caroline finally spoke.

"So are you, are you guys a couple?" Her voice was shake-y.

"Not officially, but Caroline you need to know that if your not ok with this we won't be." I know Elena was just trying to comfort Caroline but didn't she like me more than that. I mean she liked me enough to convince me it was ok.

"What?" I looked at Elena.

"Stefan.." She glanced at me, looked into my eyes with remorse.

"This didn't happen while we were dating too, did it?" Caroline asked

"No." Me and Elena both said at the same time.

"I just need a minute to think." Caroline shouldn't have a choice in this, she cheated on me. I have the right to be happy.

"Take as much time as you need." Elena said. That right there is a big reason I like Elena.

Before I was confused I didn't want to make things weird for Caroline but seeing her face, it just a makes me want to hurt her the way she hurt me.

"I don't think I'm comfortable with this, you know you guys dating." Caroline stated.

"Enough, I didn't want to hurt you Caroline, but this is my life and our relationship. It isn't your choice anymore!" It felt good to stick up for myself.

"Do you really think that's true? What if I started dating Damon, would you not be uncomfortable at all?" Caroline was starting to make me upset, she never used to act like this.

And don't tell me it's because I made her a better person when she was with me because I don't believe in that type of stuff.

"Honestly no, not just because he moved away a few years ago but because I do want you to be happy, despite all you did to me, I do want you to be happy."

"Really, because you know what would make me happy? My best friend and my ex boyfriend not to date." She stood up.

"Why should your happiness come at my expense?" I yelled.

"Stop, everyone stop! If I knew me moving here was going to cause everything that has already happened I wouldn't of came." Elena cried.

"Elena.. It wasn't your fault." Caroline comforted her, I would've but I knew Elena would've preferred I didn't given the circumstances.

"Caroline, I think we should go and talk. Alone." Elena said.

"I'll call you later Stefan." Elena's lips played a tiny smile.

Caroline walked out of the room first, when she was far enough Elena kissed me on the cheek. Then left the room.

I can't believe she had the nerve to bring up Damon, he is my brother and she knew very well that he was a rough spot in my life.

Caroline was the one who was there for me the night he left, that was the night of our first kiss. I closed my eyes.

I started to think. We had good times, me and Caroline. But I want to move forward, and with that for me involves Elena.

[Elena's P.O.V]
We pulled into Caroline's driveway. We just sat in the car, nobody spoke until I looked up.

"I like you Caroline so I'm going to tell you the truth. We kissed." I divulged.

"I figured you guys did. But Elena I want to be able to talk to my friends about boys but I can't with you, I can't listen to you talk about your first date with him." She started. "He was my first love, and for a while, I thought he was my last."

"I know, but a friend also wouldn't make you chose between them and a boy." I wanted to be able to talk to Caroline about those things too, but Stefan he just sort of surprised me. I don't want him to go away.

"That's why I'm not. We're not going to be friends anymore, just go with him." She looked at me for a minute, a tear ran down her face. "Leave!" She yelled before her face was buried in her coat.

My mom always told me, friends will stick with you but boyfriends will come and go. I never exactly believed it because girls are mean and hateful they won't stick together.

But good ones may. And I have a chance with Caroline, so I'm going to take it.

I needed to tell Stefan in person, it seemed more sympathetic that way.

It didn't long for me to arrive on his doorstep. I knocked.

He opened the door. He was wearing a black shirt with a dark red sweater and jeans.

He looked cute, very cute.

"Hey, can I come in?" I asked.

"Yea, sure." I walked in. My arm brushed against his bicep. I closed my eyes, trying not to think about it.

He shut the door. He turned around to see me staring. When he caught me I turned away.

"Is everything okay?" He asked.

"Uh yea." Lost my train of thought.

He leaned in, I wanted to kiss him. But earlier today he was right.

It wasn't right to do this to Caroline.

"Wait, I can't." I closed my eyes again.

"You didn't think that earlier." He mentioned as his eyes widened.

"I wasn't thinking straight I'm sorry." I did feel bad.

"Are you telling me there is no us anymore because I told you we couldn't be friends." He backed up.

"Yes I'm sorry I have to go." I rushed out and closed the door. I sat down on his front steps, and tears started to flow.

I heard the door open again.

"Elena.." I heard Stefan.

I glanced at the tree beside his front door, I didn't want him to see me cry.

"Elena!" He wanted my attention.

"Don't move." I told him as I jumped up and got closer as I pecked his lips. "Goodbye."

I left.
