"Want to have dinner later?"

Elena stared into the handsome face of Jason Myles.

Beautiful eyes, like dark water, stared back at her. He was so incredibly, good looking. Elena felt something inside her stir. It was like feeling music itself, whenever her lab partner was close by. It was something new. Different from the true love she felt for Damon, and the deep connection that never seemed to entirely die with Stefan.

Jason was different, and she felt so close to him, that she felt like she could never let go of him. But there was one serious problem about her new love. Well, it involved herself, really. In a name, Stefan Salvatore.

Stefan, who'd been in the picture since the loss of Damon, almost. They had found their way together, back to being in love with each other. Elena could not dream of life now, without him. He was her best friend, her lover, her love, her everything.

But she had somehow, fallen in love, with the man before her. She wanted to say yes, she wanted to have dinner with Jason. They could do it as friends. Elena lied to herself.

So dinner with Jason happened, followed with other dinners and secret dates. Everything was perfect until Jason realized that she was still with Stefan. Then she'd hurt him. He broke it off right away, and Elena was in agony. It took until that moment to make her see the truth. She was no longer in love with Stefan. She wanted only one man, who no longer wanted her.

It was three months until their wedding day, and she was ending their relationship. Stefan was deeply hurt by the break up. He never seen it coming. Stefan never thought another would come between them again. But she was honest. She was in love with someone else.

Jason still wasn't receptive to her when she told him that she broke her engagement. He felt that he came between Stefan and herself, and he wasn't alright with knowing that. Elena wasn't going to give up on him though. It took a few months until he agreed to their first date.

"I love you, Elena," He confessed after the first few months together.

Elena grinned happily into those beautiful eyes of his. She was finally happy again. She had what she wanted, she had everything. "I love you, too," She said.
