Stefan: Look, I know this isn’t the first time you have thought about it, drinking vampire blood to survive and I know I have thought about it a 100 times. Elena: and before all this with Klaus? Do you think about it then? Stefan: Of course I did. Look, if it were my choice I would want to be with you forever. Elena: Why have you never brought it up? Stefan: Because I knew if it was an option you would have. It’s selfish for me to ask you. Elena: Didn’t stop Damon. Stefan: He shouldn’t of done what he did, he did it because he loves you. Elena: But he did this to me, Stefan. Which means he doesn’t really know what love is and to be honest I don’t know if I do. I’m seventeen years old. How do I know any of this yet. I know that I love you Stefan, I know that but my future, our lives together, those were things I was supposed to do as they came along, I was supposed to grow up, decide if I wanna have kids and start a family, grow old and I was supposed to have a lifetime of it. Now, that’s all gone. Stefan: It’s ok to say it, please. Elena: I don’t want to be a vampire, Stefan. I never wanted to be one.
