Elena entered the Grill and walked to a table. She was going to meet Damon there.
“Hey”
She looked up at Stefan. “Hi” she said uncomfortable. They hadn’t really spoken since she had declared her love for Damon.
“Can I sit with you?” Stefan asked careful. Feeling it would be impolite to reject Elena nodded. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there last night. Caroline told me she was giving a party to celebrate you and…Damon”
“It’s okay, Stefan, it wasn’t that big of a deal” Elena said.
“I just thought it would be weird” Stefan explained. “After all that happened I’m not his number one on his list of favorites. I’m surprised you’re still talking to me”
“Can you quit feeling sorry for yourself?” Elena said.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t…I’m sorry” Stefan said, lying his hand on Elena’s.
Damon parked his car in the neighborhood of Mystic Grill. He got out of it and gazed inside to see if Elena was there. She was…and so was his brother. He saw the closeness between the two ex-lovers and jumped into conclusions.
Elena pulled her hand away. “Don’t do that, Stefan” she said a little irritated. She looked outside seeing Damon with a shocked expression. “Damn it, he’s seen us” She quickly got up and ran outside, hoping Damon was still there.
He was. He looked from Elena to Stefan.
“Nothing happened, Damon” Elena said.
“We were just talking” Stefan wanted to help.
“Can you please leave us alone, Stefan?” Elena said a little mad. With a disappointed face Stefan walked back inside the Grill.
Elena walked towards Damon and took his hands. “Damon, I can’t do this. Not like this. You can’t be jealous every time you see me talking to another guy. You need to learn to trust me”
“I do trust you” Damon said desperate. “But he’s Stefan. He’s your ex, he’s always going to mean something to you”
“That doesn’t mean I want him back” Elena said. “He tried to stop me from saving you. That moment I had a choice. I could stay with him and stay unharmed or I could fight him off and put my life and my friend’s on the line to save yours. Doesn’t that say enough?”
Damon looked down, seeming ashamed. “Sorry” he mumbled.
“You really need to work on your self-esteem. People do love you” Elena assured him. “I love you” And to show it she kissed him for a long time.

Title: To Helen [Poem of Youth]
Author: Edgar Allan Poe [More Titles by Poe]
HELEN, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,
The weary way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
On desperate seas long wont to roam,
Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face,
Thy Naiad airs have brought me home
To the glory that was Greece,
And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo ! in yon brilliant window-niche
How statue-like I me thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand!
Ah, Psyche, from the regions which
Are Holy-land !
-THE END-
