Chapter Text
Elena was sitting on the corner of her bed still thinking about what had just happened. She broke up with Stefan and it wasn't anything he had said or did to make her make this choice. It was something that somebody else had done and that person was "Damon Salvatore". He was the reason why she ended things with the person who was supposed to be her "soulmate". She knew that there had always been something more than friendship with Damon she was just too afraid to admit it. She knew that he was the one she was supposed to be with and not Stefan.
Maybe it was the moment when they had danced at the Miss Mystic Pageant together while Stefan was getting high off of human blood or when she heard that he had kissed Katherine thinking it was her and her heart broke because secretly she wished that it had actually been her, or maybe just maybe it was the moment they had first met when she first looked at his piercing blue eyes and his devilish smile and introduced himself as Stefan's brother.
She gasped that had been the moment when she started to fall in love with Damon since the beginning it has always been Damon and shes been lying to everyone trying to make believe that she actually belonged with Stefan because that's who everyone wanted her to be with so she stayed with him all this time because that is what everyone else wanted for her to want not what she wanted. A tear streamed down her face as she started to realize this. All this time she has been with the wrong Salvatore.
She was abruptly interrupted by Jeremy who knocked on her bedroom door. Elena walked to answer the door while drying away her tears as she did as well.
"Hey what's up Jer?" She said with a hint of a smile on her face.
"Hey Elena imma gonna over to Matt's and hang out don't worry about staying up for me I'm probably just gonna crash there"
Elena pressed her lips together and nodded her head still with the same small smile on her face looking at the floor so he would see that she was just crying moments before and worry about her.
"Okay, Jer be sure to call me when you get there."
"Are you okay? You look like you've been crying did Stefan say or do something to you before he left because if he did I swear ill..."
Elena cut him off "No Jeremy, Stefan didn't do anything we actually uh broke up" " oh I'm sorry to hear that I know that you really liked him"
" No it's okay Jer I'm the one who actually broke up with him I um stared to get feelings to someone else actually" she said still looking at the ground"
"Damon?" Jeremy asked.
"How did you know ?" Elena's asked looking up at him now confused
" because I see the way you act around him I've known you all my life I know how you act when you like someone"
" and you're okay with that? I know that you guys have had drama in the past with him trying to kill you and all"
"I just want you to be happy Elena and if you think you're gonna be happy with Damon then, by all means, be happy with Damon"
Elena smiled a real smile this time and hugged Jeremy. " Thanks, Jer that really helps, I'll uh see you tomorrow," she said smiling.
She closed the door and walked over to her bed and just fell back she was all wrapped up in her emotions thinking about what to do she knew she wanted to tell him, she just didn't know how. She wasn't even sure if he still felt the same way about her.
