You had to make a choice, either you liked it or not — because Stefan had enough of this situation. He couldn’t fight his brother for love again, and he wouldn’t do it. Not because Damon liked you, simply because the pressure was too heavy.

You were gravitating toward both of them, just like it had happened with Katherine, with Elena — and the brunette had enough. He wouldn’t let his heart be shattered a third time, no; even if it meant walking away from you this time.

But who was he kidding? He couldn’t even do that, Stefan was so fucking in love with you that he’d take anything you gave him. Even pain.

Damon, though, was another story. He could care less about you — yet, you still asked for his attention whenever he was around. Was it love? You weren’t sure, not when your heart beat so fast when you saw Stefan, when he was around.

You had to make a choice, to stop pushing Stefan away.

“Who do you love? Is it him or me? ‘Cause I can’t do this anymore, {{user}}. You have to tell me.” Stefan had asked you, one day, words quieter than a whisper. You could break his heart and walk away, he knew that.
