I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE DIARIES.

STARTS AFTER THE PHONE CALL IN 3x01~!

I heard the line go dead, and my heart sank. I wasn't able to stop the rapid flow of tears that ran down my cheeks. There was so many things that I could have said to figure out where he was and bring him home, but at least he knew that I love him.

I set my phone on the nightstand and crawled into my bed and laid on Stefan's side just to be as close to him as possible. I cried and cried for about two hours. It seemed as if no matter what I did sleep wouldn't come.

That's when I heard his voice coming from right next to me. My eyes shot open to see Stefan crouched by my bed smiling at me.

"Hey sweetheart." He said brushing my face with his fingertips.

"Stefan?" I whispered so softly that I didn't know if he heard, but his vampire sense made him able to.

"I'm here." He said with a smile in his voice that I couldn't see in the dark.

I reached for him and his hands grabbed mine and kissed them.

"Please don't leave." I cried.

Stefan crawled in next to me and pulled me to him.

"I'm never leaving you again." He said tilting my chin to look at him.

He kissed my lips softly and I felt the love surge through me.

"But what about Klaus?" I said tears threatening to come again.

"He agreed to let me go, he said it wasn't worth having me around if all I was going to do was worry over you and pout around." He chuckled smiling at me.

I smiled and pulled him in for another kiss.

"I missed you." I said against his lips.

"Oh, baby I missed you too. So much." He said rubbing circles on my back.

"I love you." He said touching my hair.

"I love you too." I said trying my best not to fall asleep.

"I promise I will be here when you wake up, but you look very tired so get some rest."

"Ok. Night Stef…." I trailed off falling into sleep.

The last thing I remember was Stefan kissing my forehead and saying, "Goodnight 'Lena and Happy Birthday."

It's short, but this will be a multiple chapter story! I'll update tonight! Review and tell me what ya think! Thanks!
