Twist Of Fate.

Deal?

~Stefan's POV~

"What are we all doing here?" Damon asked clearly still irritated with my rising infatuation with Melody, "have any of you tired to spend time with Melody since she got back?" I asked looking around the group, they all looked at each other seeing who was going to talk first, turns out it was Tyler. "We was there, when Matt kissed her" Tyler asked clearly puzzled to my question, "but other than that, have you? It's been a whole week since she's flipped the switch and she's been in the house alone, no-one's visited so she feels like non of you care about her anymore. My point is, she's still our Melody, the funny, loud Melody we all feel in love with, why are you all treating her like you have no idea who she is?" I asked my anger raising slightly.

The group was silent, the only sound coming from the teenagers gathered in the Mystic Grill, we all looked at each other and then one by one they dropped their heads in shame, "We're mean't to be her best friends" Bonnie muttered with disappointment, then the group fell silent again. "You know what. No." Damon shouted making us all jump slightly and the Mystic Grill fell silent, after a few pauses everyone around us went back to their usual conversations while we all stared at Damon, "she isn't the same Melody. She's changed. She's a Vampire, not any Vampire, she's a ripper. What if she switches is off again? She'll leave and we'll all be heart broken, we've all adjusted our life's to live without her and now she comes back and expects everything to be back to normal? Well I for one am not falling for it. You can all do what you want but she isn't worming her way back into my life that easily" Damon said stubbornly while crossing his arms. "Damon" I started while letting out a soft breath, "Brother. I know what she did, she hurt you, she hurt us all but you most of all but she couldn't help it, you went through this with me and then she was the same but trust me, she needs our help, she need's our love and forgiveness. She needs us to help her through this, she needs to know we're still here for her." I paused to look around the group, it looked like Tyler, Matt and Caroline we're agreeing, "If she thinks she's lost us, she will turn it off and there will be no getting her back, she's here now, isn't that enough?" I asked looking around the rest of the undecided group. 

"I agree" Tyler said after a short silence, "she needs us, she needs to know that she's still our Melody" he smiled, "me too" Matt smiled at Tyler then me causing me to nod, finally, it will be back to normal soon. I looked at Caroline who looked at Bonnie before they both looked at me. Caroline placed her hand on mine and smiled, "we're always there for her" she smiled and Bonnie nodded in agreement. Just Jeremy, Elena and Damon now. "Jer?" Tyler said looking at Jeremy with a concerned stare, he hasn't said anything this whole time. "She's, s-she's my f-family, I will always be there for her" Jeremy said, the stutter at the beginning showing he wasn't sure what he was going to say, but finally came to his scenes. Just two left. 

"Elena?" Jeremy smiled at her softly, "she's our family, we're the only family she has, if she doesn't have us, who does she have, I mean we can't leave these fools to look after her can we?" she said with a soft chuckle, which soon faded when Elena began crying. I looked at her with soft confused eyes, "S-Stefan" she sniffled "yes?" I smiled softly as I placed a soft hand on top of hers, "does she hate me?" she asked with a soft sniffle as she controlled her crying, "no, she thinks you replaced her, she thinks you didn't care, she thinks you hate her" I smiled softy, "will she forgive me?" she asked, her eyes sparking a bit of light, "I'm positive, she just want's things to be better" I smiled causing her to smile in return, she squeezed my hand with a smile, "I'm in" she chuckled as she let go of my hand.

We all turned to look at Damon who was sat with his head down. "Damon?" Elena asked softly, "Brother" Damon said in return as his head slowly lifted to face me, "Damon." I retorted, "I will try, I will try to forgive her for breaking my heart and I will gladly sit by and watch you and her flirt while trying to stay friends until she's ready but Brother." He said a little more heavier, "break her and I will break you" he warned before stretching his arm out, "Deal?" He smirked. "Deal." I smirked in return, we really are more a like than people think.
