Stefan still didn't know what to think about everything going on in his life at the moment. A part of him was still surprised that Damon would be so cruel, but then another part of him remembered that was in Damon's nature. He had been hurt by Damon way too many times before to be truly surprised by anything his brother did. Of course a part of him still blamed himself, but he was slowly getting tired of making excuses for his brother. Damon was incapable of growing up and moving on and he would always blame him for that. At some point Damon had to stop blaming other people for his actions. Yes Stefan had wronged him in the past, but Damon had more than paid him back ten times over. Damon just liked having a reason to do whatever he wanted and not have to feel remorse for it. That was the one way in which Damon was very much like Katherine. He believed that Damon was perfect for Katherine now and if the other woman were alive he would say they should be together....if only that could happen without Stefan worrying about all the other people that would suffer.

He decided he just needed to take his mind off of things, so he was headed to the grill for a drink and a nice rest. He walked in and had a look around. Damon wasn't there and that was the main thing he cared about right now. He needed a break from his brother and if it wasn't for worrying about what would happen if he left he would probably already have been gone from the town by now. Yes he cared very much for Elena, but there wasn't any point in endangering if he could avoid it. He wanted to be with her more than anything in the world, but hurting her would kill him. So, he was stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

He sauntered up to the bar and ordered himself a shot, using compulsion to convince the bartender not to card him. When his drink came he took a nice long sip and then turned leaned over slightly.
