Elena's POV

After an hour of driving I finally got to my apartment, as I walked up to the apartment I heard some rustling around in the apartment so I quickly opened the door and looked around but nothing was there. So I walked to my bedroom and grabbed out a few suit cases an started pulling clothes off the hangers then I came to the crisp maroon graduation gown, reminding me that I'd just gotten my humanity back the night before graduation thanks to Damon and Matt. Remembering back to the feeling of loss the moment Damon snapped Matt's neck, I had no clue Matt had the Gilbert ring on. I quickly folded the gown so I could hurry up and get all my clothes packed, I was almost done until I came across the simple white lace sundress I wore for my 18th birthday. I remembered it clearly, Damon had found my necklace that Stefan had given to me when we first started dating. It was kind of him to put it on me knowing how much meaning it has behind it, I was trying to hold onto hope that after a few months of Stefan being gone with Klaus he'd come back. I quickly folded it up and threw it in my suit case, then I came across the blue miss mystic falls dress I wore as more memories can flooding in most being of me and Damon, I wished this choice wasn't so hard. I hurriedly packed the rest of my clothes then moved on to the box I always dreaded, the one I last went through before I called Caroline to let her know I wanted to come back to Mystic falls, the one labeled memories. First I came across the photo of Stefan and I all wrapped up together on the dock at my cabin, the next minute a tear landed on Stefan's photo graphic face. I then pulled up the next photo, the one of Stefan, Damon and I. I was photo bombing in that one, I remembered that day clearly remembering the memory which yet again had to do with Damon. I sighed as I slid my finger over his figure in the picture, very confused. Then at the moment I heard the rustling again that I'd heard before I entered the apartment, next thing I know I feel a pair of hands land on my shoulder. I suddenly jump, afraid that Kyle or Katherine had found me but, then I hear a nice, calming husky voice pipe up.

"It's okay, It's just me. You know, I wished we could relive that moment. I remember that day clearly," Damon sighed. He was right, I loved that day, it was right after the 50's dance we all looked so happy. I was happily in love with Stefan and we'd just solved half of our problems and I was like high off the adrenaline and excitement of fighting the vampire who was stalking me. 

"Yeah, me too. Times weren't so confusing then I knew what I had wanted in life," I stated then continued, "Now I have no clue what to do, or who to even love. Not sure what to do about this baby, I wasn't ready for a baby yet. I wanted to go to college and get my degree and get a nice house and settle down with someone," I finished as I felt a hot tear slide down my cheek. Damon's thumb meets the tear and wipes it away as we sit in silent for a few minutes, so I decide to break the silence.

"I'm sorry, Damon. I don't mean to throw this all on you I'm just over whelmed and I don't know what to do. Every time I see Stefan's face I feel bad because I don't have any explanations for him. I've blown him off the whole time he's been back, I've been trying my hardest to avoid him knowing we'll have to talk. I don't want to lose what me and you have Damon but then at the same time I've always been depressed and lost because he was dead, my boyfriend died. But even before he died I still felt for you, hence the reason Stefan sent me and you to get Jeremy from Colorado, and I still feel for him because I was scared I'd lost him and now he's back. I can't help but feel that now it sounds like I'm Katherine now, because now I have feelings for both, I love you both. I think I love one more than the other, now the problem just is what's best for the future.." I trail off.
