Authors note: I JUST WANNA SAY IM SOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I was grounded:( now I'm 110 on #stelena.

Elena's POV
"Are you sure?" I ask Stefan as he nods. "Yup, I want you to come to the wedding." He smiles at me as I look up. "Besides, if you don't want to go, it's fine. It's just a friends wedding." He tells me as I shake my head.

"No, it's fine. I'll go, but, only for you." I tell him while smiling as he smiles back. He gets up and gives my a quick hug before he leaves. "I'll pick you up at 5:30." He tells me as I nod.

Caroline and Bonnie walk into the room laughing. "E! He's inviting you to a wedding!" Bonnie squeals. "Omg! He wants to marry you!" Caroline nearly shouts.

"Shut up. Now, are you guys gonna help me get ready? You guys know I have like, no experience in make up and stuff." I ask as Caroline jumps up and down excitedly and Bonnie nods. "We need to choose what dress you're wearing." Caroline says as I nod. "So, do you like him?" Bonnie ask's, looking through my closet.

My eyes widen as Caroline starts hysterically laughing. "No." I mumble as Caroline shakes her head. "That's not what it sounded like last night." She says as Bonnie instantly spins around. "What do you mean?" She ask's. "She was practically moaning out Stefan's name in her sleep." Caroline says as I stuff my head into the pillow.

"Quit!" I shout as I throw the pillow at Caroline, making Bonnie jump up while laughing. "Seriously, Elena?" Bonnie ask's while laughing as I start laughing and shake my head up and down.

Later

"But do I have to wear a dress?" I groan as Bonnie nods. "Yes, it's a wedding." "And, you want to get freaky, right?" Caroline ask's as my eyes widen and I shake my head. "Nope, nope, nope." We all laugh as I check the time.

I sigh and I see Bonnie can tell I'm nervous. "Why are you nervous, E?" She asks as I look up. "I don't know.." I reply as she asks "Is it because you like him?" I nod as tears fill my eyes. "Aww, don't cry! You'll mess up your make up!" Caroline says making us all laugh.

"I guess because I haven't liked anyone since.." "since Matt." Bonnie finishes as I nod. "E, you can't hide forever. You have to move on. I know it's hard but.. you deserve someone better. Even if it's just Stefan." Caroline tells me as Bonnie nods.

I jump as I hear a honk. I smile like an idiot as Caroline and Bonnie both say "He's here." I hug them goodbye and exit the apartment. I'm making my way towards the car as I see Stefan get out and open the car door for me.

I put on a confused face but quickly turn it into a smile. "Thank you." I comment as he smiles. "So, how far away is the wedding?" I ask, turning the window up. "Ten minutes. Why did you turn the window up?" He asks as I look up.

"I don't need my hair getting ruined." I tell him as she looks at me. "You'll look pretty either way." He states as I look in his eyes. I sigh and quickly look out the window.

He opens the car door for me once again as I smile. "Thank you, kind sir." I say in a jokingly voice as he chuckles. "No problem." He says as I walk next to him, our shoulders touching. I look up at the gorgeous wedding. (It was an outside one) "Woah." Is all I could say as Stefan chuckles.

"Your friend must be loaded." I say as he nods. "Oh yeah. The ceremony is already done. Right now it's just time to dance and congratulate them and stuff." He says as I nod. I see a guy with dark hair and a girl with blond hair walking towards us.

"Hey, Damon. This is Elena." Stefan says as Damon's eyes widen while he's smiling. "Nice to meet you, Elena. This is my girlfriend, Lexi." He tells me as I nod at Lexi. "It's nice to meet both of you." I say before I remember something.

"Wait, you're- you're pregnant.. aren't you?" I say as she nods. "Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Well, Stefan got very excited when he found out." I say while all of us laugh. Stefan takes my hand, leading me to the drinks.

"You want a drink?" He asks as I sigh. "Mm, I don't know, Stefan." I say as he makes a funny face. "Come on.. live a little." He says as I smile. "Sure. I'll take one." I reply as he hands me a champagne glass filled with champagne.

"Here." He says. "Thanks." I say while taking a big sip of it. "Wow. Rough day?" He asks as I look down. "Eh, rough couple of days but, it's whatever." I tell him as he shakes his head. "It's not whatever. Tell me what's up." "Well, I just found out my dad is dating someone. Which I don't mind I just don't understand why he didn't tell us earlier. Jeremy and his girlfriend broke up so he's officially moving back in with us. Caroline and Tyler broke up and-"

"Hey, it's fine. You don't have to tell me everything." He interrupts me. "Omg! I was totally being annoying I'm so sorry." "Its fine, you weren't being annoying." He says as I feel my cheeks redden. "You wanna dance?" He asks as I nod.

He takes my arm, gently and slowly pulling me towards the dance floor. I feel butterflies in my stomach as his hands are on my waist and mine are on his shoulders.

I hear him hum along to the song as I rest my head on his shoulder. I smell his aftershave and feel the vibrations from him humming. He moves his hand onto my lower back, causing me to have chills.

When the song finishes I pull away and look up at him. I feel his warm breath against my face as I say "I'm gonna go look around, okay?" He nods as I step away. I find a water fountain (not a drinking one) and sit down. I sigh and peacefully watch the water.

I needed a break. A break from all the tension. A break from me slowly falling for Stefan Salvatore. I take in a deep breath as I see a figure walk towards me. I know it's not Matt but I pray it's not. I see Stefan sit next to me.

I sigh with a shaky breath as he looks up at me. "Are you okay?" He asks as. "I'm fine, Stefan. Really." I assure him. He nods as we sit in silence. Not awkward. A few minutes go by before I feel his hand slowly touch mine.

I nearly gasp. "Stefan, we can't-" "Why not?" He interrupts me as I stand up. "I know you want to." He says in a soft voice as tears fill my eyes. "Stefan, this- this cant happen." I tell him as he shakes his head, coming closer to me.

"Why?" He asks as he look up at me. "Because I'm scared, Stefan!" I shout as I feel his breath on my face. "I'm scared that the same thing will happen all over again."

"You think I'll do that to you?" He asks, with hurt in his voice. "Of course not, Stefan." I assure him as I cup his cheeks in my hands.

"I don't think you'll do that.. it's- it's complicated." I say walking away, tears filling my eyes. "Elena, wait!-"

"it's okay, Stefan. I'll just walk home."

"Elena, it's freezing."

"I'll be fine." I tell him, tears falling down my cheeks.
