Stefan was clearly having some issues with his brother being there. It hadn't be easy for him to be around Damon....not since they had turned. The two of them were brothers, but most people wouldn't know with the way that they acted around one another. Stefan didn't hate him....not anymore, but he certainly wished that Damon would just let the past go and let both of them move on with their lives. How could he still blame him? Did he really want to spend the rest of their eternity following him around and making his life hell? He just couldn't understand that level of boredom. If there was one thing Stefan had learned it was to live in the moment. Sure being a vampire wasn't easy, but there was a lot in this life to see and do and if you spent your time holding grudges you would miss it.

Today was going to be one of those days where he made sure that he saw those amazing things. He had asked Elena to accompany him on a walk to the Falls. Sure there were other places in town to go, but this one seemed the most likely to allow them some time to talk. Damon wasn't as likely to be there. He would be somewhere he could get a drink....or a co-ed, because that is what he did.

They had agreed to meet at the bottom of the trail, so that is where he stood waiting on her to arrive.

	"I'm not as special as you say," she settled for saying. If she was special, why had her parents wound up dead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Why do you not think more highly of yourself?" he asked, curious where these thoughts came from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think I'm a normal teenager," Elena answered with a shrug. "Or...not normal." Her head ducked a minute. She couldn't consider herself normal with everything her family had gone through over the past year. "I guess I'm just a little...lost right now. Not sure where I fit in anymore." Hence why she didn't see herself as special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've been there. It's never easy, but you should know that you are not normal" he answered with a small smile. "None of us are....normal is a lie we tell ourselves" he added, clearly meaning every word he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's what we all want to be," Elena answered. Especially in high school. "We all want to belong." She didn't have that at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-10-15 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh I have a feeling that it goes beyond high school" he answered honestly, clearly having a few thoughts going through his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course it goes beyond high school," Elena nodded. "But it's kind of the defining theme in high school, isn't it? Trying to fit in and find your place in the world?" It was more difficult than she wanted to admit, especially since her world had been rocked to the core by her parents' deaths. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh it's not easy. It never is, but finding yourself is always worth the fight" he answered, his words drifting off at the end of the sentence as his mind drifted a little. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	She nudged him lightly. "Penny for your thoughts." He was obviously somewhere far away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-10-27 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh just thinking about my past" he answered honestly. "But it's something that is just that....the past" he added. Sure his life was complicated, but he was letting it go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2016-10-27 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	"You know so much about my past," she answered. "And yet I don't know much about yours. It's not really fair." There was an imbalance there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-10-30 08:24 am UTC (link)
	"Well I was born here, but my family travels a lot" he answered. His words were honest enough, and since it wasn't a lie he didn't feel bad. He had to be careful how much he told her; he wasn't sure if she would accept him if she found out what he truly was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right, because you're Zach Salvatore's nephew." Even if his uncle was a bit of a lone wolf, Mystic Hills wasn't exactly a large place. "But I want to know more about you," she prodded him a bit more. "What do you like? Tell me about yourself....we're always talking about me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well I like to read...and write; mainly in my journal" he answered. A young man admitting that he wrote in a journal was a big deal. It certainly was admitting something personal...at least for him. "I also like Football...at least some. I learned to play when I was kid with my brother" he added, trying to give her as many small details as he could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2016-10-30 10:04 am UTC (link)
	"I have a journal, too," Elena answered, smile widening. So that was something they had in common, at least. "If you play football you should try out for the team. I'm on the cheerleading squad." At least for the moment. Caroline wouldn't let her quit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-10-30 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	"They really are the best way to get your thoughts out" he answered honestly. If he didn't write down things he would forget them and it also helped him to process whatever he was thinking. "I do like football, but I am sure the team is already full" he added. It was later in the year after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure you could try," she might have pushed him a bit. "I mean, unless you're into that whole...loner thing." But she was very obviously teasing him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-10-30 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Loner thing?" he asked with a little teasing grin of his own. "I never really thought of myself as a loner....or well maybe I am" he added, pretending to think about it for just a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2016-10-30 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	"You are," she answered, grinning. "But it's not necessarily a bad thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-11-04 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah big group aren't always a good thing" he answered. He wanted to be honest with her if he could. He hadn't been on the big crowds, but there was a big reason for that....being a vampire meant every time he was around people they seemed like food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2016-11-04 03:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I just thought..." She shrugged, head ducking. "It might be nice. And there are worse ways to make friends." If he wanted to, that was. She hadn't ever really seen him talk to anyone besides her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-11-04 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	"That is true. I would be willing to go....if you were there" he answered with a small smile on his lips. It was the truth. Having her to focus on made things a little easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_doppelganger_ 2016-11-04 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	She glanced back up at him, smile widening a bit. "Really?" She questioned. "Maybe I'll stay on the cheerleading squad if you're around." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ifeeltoomuch 2016-11-04 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I would like to see you cheer sometime" he answered with a small smile on his lips. "I bet you are amazing at it" he added. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
