An Undeniable Love (A Delena Story)

ten

The next morning I feel different, weird in fact. I'm dating Stefan, my best friend, whose always been like a brother to me, so I guess that's why it feels weird, but I think I will get used to it. I get up and get ready for school, grabbing my phone and bag before I leave.

As I get to school, I see Stefan leaning against my locker. I smile as I approach him, "Hey." he says, kissing my cheek softly. "Hey." I say to him, smiling back.

"I've missed you." he says as I open my locker, grabbing my books, I laugh slightly, "Stefan it's been like a day."

"Exactly, a day to long." he says smiling, "Will you come over tonight?" he asks, and I nod shortly after. "I gotta get to class." He says before kissing me softly then walking off to his first class. I sigh a little, then doing the same thing.

After school, I make my way home. Once I get home I start my homework, so I don't have to do it after Stefan's. After I finish, I grab my things, making my way out to my car.

On my drive over to Stefan's, I can't help to want to see Damon, but I try to shake those thoughts away, knowing I shouldn't be thinking that, especially when i'm with Stefan.

When I arrive at Stefan's, I go inside, not bothering to knock, I haven't knocked in years, so I don't feel the need to do it now. As I walk inside, the house was quiet. "Stefan?" I yelled, looking around the house.

All of a sudden, Damon comes around the corner, "Stefan isn't here, he went out to pick up a pizza for us, i'll be joining you, if that's okay."

I nod, still startled, "Yeah that's fine." I smile, "Are you okay?" he asks, "You seem off." I shake my head, "You just startled me, that's all. I though I was along for a moment there."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." he laughs a little. I smile at him, "His laugh is cute." I thought to myself, instantly shaking the though away, I can't think that.

I smile again, walking into the kitchen, hearing Damon following behind me. I go to the cabinet grabbing a cup and pouring myself a glass of water, trying to distract myself till Stefan got back.

"So," Damon says, "I hear you and Stefan got together." I turn around, "He told you?" I ask.
"Well I am his brother." He leans against the counter top.

"I know, it's just that we haven't told anyone yet." I say before gulping down some of my water. "Sorry, I just think Stefan was excited, that's all." I nod, agreeing with him, "Your probably right."

DAMONS POV
Ask I spoke with Elena in the kitchen about her and Stefan, I felt my heart breaking a little. I couldn't deny that I felt something for her. Especially when she touched me in my car yesterday, even though it was a slight touch, I still felt something there, but obviously she didn't feel the same, she's with my brother after all.

"Stefan, is one to express his feelings, he's always been like that since we were children." I laugh a little, "I guess things haven't changed." She laughs with me, she has a cute laugh. I sigh to myself, she my brothers girl, but I wanted her to be mine.

"Yeah I guess your right." She says, still laughing. "Any exciting things happening around town mister FBI agent." she asks me playfully, and I shake my head. "Nope, this town is pretty boring, most i've had since I began a cop here was a noise complaint."

"Yeah this town is boring, nothing exciting ever happens." she smiles at me slightly, and I smile back at her.

ELENA'S POV
As me as Damon smile at each other, I feel a warmth inside of me, something I haven't felt since my parents were alive, and it felt good, it felt like I was myself again.

But then, Stefan comes barging through the kitchen door, looking at me and Damon standing there. "Hello Stefan," Damon says, "Elena just got here a few minutes ago, so your right on time." "Good," he says, placing a soft kiss on my cheek, and I give him a small smile.

Stefan places the pizza on the counter, and me and Damon reach for it at the same time. Our hands collide, and I laugh a little, his hand made me feel that warmth again, and it's getting harder to shake it off. "My bad, go ahead."

He smiles at me before picking up a slice of pizza. I look at him as he takes a bite of it, biting my lip. I take my own slice, scarfing it down.

After me, Damon and Stefan eat, me and Stefan make our way upstairs to his room. He turns on The Notebook, one of my favorite movies, also one we've watched so many times i've lost count.

We get comfortable on his bed, me wrapped in his arms. I keep my eyes on the tv, as Stefan rubs my back softly, it's almost putting me to sleep.

About an hour into the movie, Stefan falls asleep. I make my way out of his arms, quietly going downstairs to find something to drink. As I walk into the kitchen, I stop in my track as I see Damon, startled once again by him.

"Hey Elena." he says to me, as he sits on the stool by the kitchen island. "Is Stefan asleep?" I nod, walking farther into the kitchen, pouring myself a glass of water. "Can we talk then?" he asks me, and I almost spit my water back into my cup.

"About what?" I set my water on the counter, drumming my fingers on it nervously. "I have to tell you something, because honestly I don't want to keep this inside of me. Although i'm very good at it, I don't wanna do it. I feel something for you Elena. I know your with my brother and all, but I can't help it. Every time, we touch, or accidentally touch, I feel something, and I don't wanna deny it anymore."

He stands up from the chair, walking towards me. I back up against the counter, taking in a sharp breath. I felt like he just read my mind, because it's almost exactly what i've been thinking. I know I feel something for him, but i'm with his brother, and i'm not gonna hurt Stefan, I can't.

"Damon I-I," I pause, "I'm with Stefan." I whisper, as he stands in front of me. "I know that," he says, placing his hand on my cheek, "Elena, just tell me, do you feel something for me?"

Should I tell him? I know there's something inside of me telling me I do, but then there's Stefan. "Damon, I-I do, but i'm with Stefan, I can't be with you, I-I love him." I knew I was lying to him and myself, but I refuse to hurt Stefan, in anyway, Stefan is the only one I have left that I can tell everything too.

He slightly nods at me, removing his hand from my cheek, walking out of the kitchen. I sigh, rubbing my neck. I quickly make my way back upstairs, not wanting to run into Damon after what just happened. As I reach Stefan's room, I crawl back under his arms, feeling safe again.
