You sat at the dinner table in your stunning red gown that you had bought specifically for the occasion, your feet tapping impatiently against the floor and your hand swirling the wine glass in your hand.
"Excuse me!" You called out flagging down the waitress who approached you with a sympathetic smile.
"Are you ready to order now?" She asked you.
"Yeah." You told her with a wry chuckle. "It only took me an hour and 15 minutes. I'll have the chicken alfredo please. To go."
She nodded and before soon, your order was ready to go and for the fifth time that month you went home alone.
The boarding house was empty when you arrived so you grabbed a bottle of tequila and took a log swig before going to your shared bedroom.
"Happy anniversary to me." You muttered bitterly before turning on the TV.
For hours on end you waited for your boyfriend to come back in which time you had finished the bottle, sobered up and then gotten halfway through another. Eventually Stefan came back with blood on his shirt, barely even acknowledging you, which only made your anger flare.
"Nice to see you too, Stranger." You murmured as he turned back to face you.
"Oh hey, Y/N" Stefan told you with a smile. "Nice dress. Special occasion?"
"Yeah, it's my five-year anniversary of never seeing my boyfriend." You told him, causing his face to drop.
"Y/N, I am so sorry. Something came up." He told you apologetically.
"Let me guess, something happened with Damon?" You replied.
"Yeah." He answered quietly. "I promise I'll make it up to you."
"You've said that four times this month." You reminded him, causing him to gaze down at the floor sheepishly.
"Y/N, I—"
"I can't keep doing this, Stefan." You told him with a sigh. "I can't be second place my whole life."
"He's my brother. I can't just leave him to die." Stefan refuted.
"I know." You continued. "But I can't pretend that I'm okay with being stood up forever."
"And I won't let that happen to you." Stefan assured you, but you couldn't be sure.
"I don't think you want to, but it doesn't mean that you won't." You gave him a kiss on the cheek, tears welling in both of your eyes.
"I love you." Stefan murmured.
"I love you too." You replied. "And if your life ever gets a little less crazy, come find me."
