Stefan looks at Damon and shakes his head
Damon:what?! It's not like I can control my feelings! I can't just turn it off
Stefan:no you can't and I get that but that's what makes it worse because even without your humanity you'll still feel for her
Damon:(sighs) I love Elena and I won't hurt her .. Maria needs to choose now
Stefan:she doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to because I feel like if we push her she'll end up pushing all of us away and she doesn't need that right now

Maria's journal
-I don't know why I felt this way!
My body felt extremely hot when he sat near me...
His lips touched mine gently and it took everything for me not to launch myself at him!
Klaus was downstairs but I couldn't help this feeling
But then I'd see Klaus and my body would feel like it's being electrocuted.. there was no way I could choose
I.love.them.both
