An Undeniable Love (A Delena Story)

thirteen

The next morning I wake up to my alarm clock screaming at me. I groan and roll over hitting the off button. Monday morning, everyone's favorite right? Nope. I dreaded them, cause it meant I had to go to school and actually deal with life.

I got out of bed and ventured into the bathroom. I locked all the doors to make sure no one came in, then I started my shower. I made sure the temperature was good before I got in, letting the water cascade down my body.

My mind travels to Damon as I stand there. I can't stop thinking about him, how he kisses me, but then there's Stefan, sitting in the back of my mind. I sigh as I quickly wash up. I stop the shower then climb out, wrapping a towel around my body.

I unlock the doors before going back into my bedroom. I find clothes for the day, slipping them on. I quickly dry my hair and run a brush through it as I hear honking outside. Stefan.

I grab my things and run down the stairs, then running out to Stefan's car. I get inside, him looking at me with a huge grin on his face. I smile back at him, leaning over the console and kissing his lips softly. He kisses me back before I fall back into my seat, setting my bag on the car floor.

"Hey baby." he says to me as he speeds down the street. "Hi." I say, looking out the window. "Did you sleep well?" He asks me, I could feel his gaze on me. "Good." I smile slightly.

Things with Stefan were so easy. It felt safe and comfortable, almost felt like we weren't in a relationship, it still felt like we were best friends, one with romance in it. I wish it didn't feel like that, but I couldn't help it.

Damon on the other hand, felt dangerous, fun, exciting, compassionate, and it was starting to consume me. Damon was starting to consume me, and I didn't know how to stop it.

"Elena?" I snapped out of my thoughts, guessing that had to be the tenth time Stefan has said my name. "What sorry?" He pulls up to the school, parking his car. "What are you doing tonight? Damon wanted to go to the grill tonight, i'd like it if you came."

"Oh, why don't you and Damon just go." I didn't want to be in the same room as Damon right now, it's hard to resist him. "You sure? I'm sure he won't mind."

"Yes, spend some alone time with him." I grab my bag from the floor and get out of his car. We walk towards the school together, a few of Stefan's friends yelling at him as we walk towards the doors.

He follows me to my locker, the first bell ringing. "I better go." He kisses my cheek then disappears down the hallway. I open my locker, putting some of my things inside, feeling a presence next to me.

I turn my head and look into those bright blue eyes of Damon's. I bite my lip, "Damon, what are you doing here?" I look down, noticing him in his police uniform, i'll admit, he looks good in it, but I try and shake those thoughts away.

"I'm hear teaching some class for the freshman, it's boring." He says with a smirk on his face. "I should probably go." I start to walk away from him, determined to get to class. He grabs my arm, turning my body back towards him.

The hallways were completely empty now, and I was late for class. "Damon let go of me, i'm late for class." I look at his hand that has a grip on my arm. "Y-Your right." He stammers and lets go of my arm.

"Just know, you look beautiful today Elena." He gives me a small smile then goes down the hallway. I watch him for a moment, knowing what we were doing was getting dangerous. I sigh to myself then head to class.

After school, I meet Stefan out my his car. He smiles at me as he sees me leaning against his car waiting for him. He kisses my cheek before we both get into his car.

He brings me home and I wish him luck with Damon tonight. I go inside, and instantly get a call from Caroline. I answer it, pressing my phone to my ear.

"Elena!" She screams into my phone, and I bring it away from my ear. "Hello to you to Care." I laugh and she laughs with me. "I wanted to ask if you wanted to meet me at the grill? There's a live band playing to raise money or something."

I knew Damon and Stefan were gonna be there tonight, I know I shouldn't go, but I miss Caroline, and I can't help but wanting to see Damon again. "Uh sure, but not too late, i'm kinda tired."

"Yay! I'll meet you there!" she hangs up the phone. I go fill in my aunt Jenna on what i'm doing. I go outside and get in my car, driving to meet Caroline. I park outside the grill noticing Damon's bright blue vehicle.

I venture inside, searching for Caroline, but instead see Damon and Stefan sitting at the bar, eating burgers. Lost in staring at them, I don't even realize Caroline standing in front of me.

"Elena!" My body snaps back to reality and I look at Caroline. "Hey!" I hug her, and she hugs me back. "I think the band starts soon, wanna grab something to eat first?" My eyes venture back up to the bar.

"Uh sure." She smiles at me and we walk up to the bar. We sit on the other side of the bar, and order our food. I look over at Damon and Stefan, and make eye contact with Damon. I bite my lip as we stare at each other.

He breaks out eye contact and starts to talk to Stefan. Stefan looks up from his food and smiles at me. He gets up from his seat and comes over to me and Caroline.

He kisses me firmly, placing his hand on my cheek. I kiss him back, feeling the eyes of Caroline, and probably Damon on us. He pulls away from me, "I thought you weren't coming."

"I wasn't, but Care asked me too." He looks over at Damon, whose looking at us, "Why don't you come sit by us?" I shake my head, "No, no, you spend time with him, anyways, I haven't talked to Caroline in a few days we need to catch up." I give him a small smile.

He nods then kisses my cheek, "I'll see you later." He smiles then goes back over to his brother, engaging in conversation with him. The waiter places mine and Cares food in front of us, and we begin to eat.

We talk briefly, Care doing most of the talking at the moment. I'm mostly listening, but my eyes venture back over to Damon, whose smiling and laughing with Stefan.

"Elena!" Caroline says, "What sorry?" Caroline furrows her brows at me, "You wouldn't lie to me right?" she asks, and I nod, agreeing with her. "Okay, then answer this honestly, why are you undressing Stefan's brothers with your eyes?"

I almost spit out my water, "W-What are you talking about?" I stammer, knowing she caught me doing just that. "Elena, don't lie, what happened with you and Damon.

"N-Nothing." I stammer again. "Elena, quit lying, I can tell when you are." I sigh, "You can't tell anyone, especially Stefan." She nods in response.

"Damon confessed his feeling to me the other night, then we kissed the following night, then the day after that. It was a mistake, I like Stefan, it's never gonna happen again."

"Okay Elena, i'm gonna be honest with you. You and Stefan are not a good couple, you two are like brother and sister, you two are doomed to end. And I can see, you feel something for Damon don't you?" I nod my head.

"I confessed my feelings too, but we agreed it has to end, we both don't want to hurt Stefan, he's our family."

"Exactly!" she exclaims, "He's your family! Not someone you can be in love with! It's just gross." She scrunches up her face, "Maybe you should tell Stefan the truth."

"No no I can't, it will destroy him knowing I like his brother and not him. I can't do that to him." I say, sighing.

"But Elena, your gonna feel pressured to be with Stefan for the rest of your life, and you can't do that, to yourself and him. You need to tell him, now."

"It's hard." I sigh, "I can't do it now."
"But you can!" she exclaims "Do it now, not later when it will hurt him more." In the back of my mind, I knew she was right, but still I couldn't do it.

"Can we just drop the subject for now?" she nods. The band starts up and everyone ventures off to watch them.

After the show, I head back home. I go inside quietly as I realize my family is asleep. I go quietly upstairs and change into pjs and collapse into bed, falling asleep.
