Since Stefan had entered her life a year ago, so much had happened. Even before he'd officially entered her life, he'd been there the moment everything had changed. He was the reason she'd survived the car accident which had taken both her parents lives. And then they'd fallen completely, totally, utterly head-over-heels in love with each other. It was epic, as Caroline was fond of telling her. So, when he'd left town with Klaus, her world had been turned upside down.

She'd searched for him, had tried to ignore the growing attraction between her and Damon. Elena was determined to remain steadfast, was determined to rescue Stefan and continue their fairytale romance. All that had changed, though, when he'd showed up on Senior Prank Night. He'd had his humanity taken away, had fed from her, ripping into her neck...

It was a new day. Making her way to the Salvatore boarding house, Elena was determined to make some sort of difference in Stefan's demeanor. To remind him of the love they'd shared. She would win him back. She would get his humanity turned back on. She had to. Taking a deep breath, Elena rang the door bell, putting on a brave face. She wouldn't give up on him.
