[locked to Damon]

[After days of looking for Stefan and countless private entries sent to him without any response, she finally flips open her journal:]

Have you seen Stefan?

Not recently, but I don't exactly make it a point to keep tabs on my little brother.

[that's not true Damon and you know it.]

He's a big boy.
Kind of.

I figured he was with you or moping around again in a basement to collect dust and brood over his guilt.

[idontgethurt]

When was the last time you saw him?

[Elena had already started to jot out her usual arguments.

This isn't funny, Damon.
Can we not do that right now?

when the next question comes, and she's too worried to keep at any of it, so they're scratched out.]

It's been too long. He doesn't answer any of my journal entries. He isn't at the Tower but his things are still in the room. This isn't like him.

[idontgethurt]

Looks like it's time to start a search party.

I'd tell you that I'll be going by myself and don't need any help, but I know if you don't go searching for him with me, you'll look on your own and end up missing too.

I'll meet you outside the Tower.

Glad we're skipping that step. You're right, I'm going to find Stefan whether it's with or without you. [She... does not want to admit the very real possibility he won't be found ;;]

I'll be there in five.
