Stefan's POV
Writing a diary
We just broke up but I feel that it was very much needed... She needs to come to terms with her feelings, whether she wants Damon or still wants to be with me. She is confused about her feelings, maybe, maybe not, but to see her everyday trying to fight with her feelings, then feeling guilty, I can't bear to see it anymore. I will completely respect her decision though I will always love her.
Things have changed ever since her transition, seems like she is not herself anymore. She is trying to fight it everyday, no matter what I will find a way to get her the cure. She never wanted this and I will make sure she does not go over the edge
like I did. Damon may be the better choice for her right now... he can
teach her how to control her urges better than I can... since I might lose myself
if I get near blood. But deep down, jealousy seems to be creeping in.
At the Mystic Falls pageant
Elena is skeptical about telling Caroline about her break up but in the end she does.
Caroline is not too happy with her decision and confronts her for the same. She wants to know her reason for breaking up with Stefan, though Elena tries to brush it away but Caroline is adamant, Elena finally comes clean of her growing feelings for Damon that just seems to be amplified post transition though Caroline is not buying into it. Caroline is sure there is something amiss with all that has happened, or been happening with them, but she does not let Elena know what she is thinking. She has seen the changes in her, and now the break-up is just confirming her suspicions.
Elena's POV
I need to tell Damon about the break up and my feelings...I need to talk to him, just like I did with Stefan, and tell him about it all... but somewhere there is this uneasiness creeping in. Am I doing the right thing? Am I making the right choice? When Caroline also questioned me, though I told her that it is all fine, but then what is this growing anxiety. My heart is in turmoil. As for my decision, whether it is correct or not, Only time will tell...
Back at the Salvatore boarding house
Damon strikes a conversation with Stefan about his thoughts on Shane's shay character
but Stefan does not give him much attention, making Damon pretty irritated with this behavior.Here Damon is trying to help him, warn him but Stefan seems disinterested.
Stefan finally reveals that Stelena are not together and that too cause of Damon, leaving Damon in shock. Damon tried to talk to him, but Sefan is not listening at this point of time. Stefan also tried to push it all aside, but his jealousy just poured out and he let it all out in front of Damon. His present state of mind is affecting his rationality.
Elena hyperventilates seeing someone else wearing the same dress as hers but thanks to Bony, who got another dress for her at the last moment, changes into it.
At the mystic fall pageant
Damon and Stefan finally arrive at the pageant and seeing Damon there, Elena gets
nervous but shortly after seeing Stefan there, she feels a little bad for the way things ended up. She never wanted to face both of them at the same time, because she knew that to talk to one, the other will walk away, and that would hurt more. Caroline senses her dilemma, Caroline approaches Stefan, takes him away from there and has a heart-to-heart talk with him on the break up, she leaves him after but not before telling him that she will always be there for him and Elena no matter what.
Elena's POV
Should I approach him and tell him about my feelings? Will he understand or will he blame it on my transformation like Caroline did? But I have to do it.
Its now or never...the sooner I get to this the better it will be for all 3 of us
Elena and Damon share a dance at the pageant
while Stefan watches them from far, with a pained look on his face throughout it. He leaves the venue after to meet with Klaus.
Stefan's POV
It hurts to see her with Damon but I have to leave all of that behind and work with Klaus to
get the cure. She needs it, she wants to be human and regardless of anything I cannot be selfish with her... I will do whatever it takes to get the cure, even if it means sacrificing myself for her.
Elena tries talking to Damon throughout the dance, and a few times after that also, but he chooses to walk away, claiming to be busy with his new task of digging up dirt on Shane however, they finally confront each other and Damon breaks it to her that he is over chasing after her and its about time she lets go of her confusion about who she really wants. This leaves Elena distraught.
Elena's POV
It hurts to know how Damon's feelings have changed but I am the one responsible for it...
I just cant ignore this feeling for Damon and I wont give up this easy.
I need answers and I will get them, Damon needs to help me get them.
I need to know what I really feel, what I really want...
A love that consumes me or a love that is as pure as snow?
