Stefan Salvatore sat in his room, angry and furious at the world. His craving for blood had driven him insane, and that mysterious girl Lexi had stuck him in this room saying that until he understood and became the good parts of being a vampire, his "sorry ass" would be stuck in his room.

He looked up at her angrily. She was pretty, nice and apparently very patient. She had been standing at his doorwa. He y for two days now, beating him down on the floor every time he tried to make an escape, and a few hours into the second day, Stefan realized that escaping would be impossible, so he gave up and sat sulking on the floor in desperate need of blood.

He didn't want to think about Damon leaving, killing his own father, his beautiful Katherine, or the fact that he killed half of the founding families. He just wanted to turn it off and never think about any of these things again. He needed blood.

Stefan started getting angry, his need for blood increasing. He stood up and started pacing the room angrily, shaking his head in fury as his craving for blood increased. Lexi watched him carefully, in case he made any signs to escape. After watching him pace for about half an hour, she finally said jokingly, "What are you doing Salvatore? You trying to wear the soles of your shoes out?"

That's all it took. Stefan took one look at her and started throwing all his diaries and belongings in his room on the floor. He needed blood. And, he wanted it NOW. He threw book after book, diary after diary and suddenly, Lexi appeared in front of him, holding him to the floor.

"Stop, Stefan...Listen to me," said Lexi, holding her hand at his throat. Stefan calmed down, until suddenly he saw the picture of Katherine fall from the corner of his eye from one of his diaries. He didn't want to think about her, or about anyone. Stefan became enraged again, and threw Lexi off and started tearing the entire room apart. Lexi came behind him, and shot him down with force, keeping him on the floor.

Stefan shook his head, trying to get free.

"STEFAN! STEFAN! Stop! Look at me, LOOK at me!" commanded Lexi, and after a few minutes Stefan finally calmed down and looked her in the eyes.

"Stefan, your okay. You have to open up, because if you keep bottling up your emotions and turn off your human side, then you will NEVER be able to stop being a monster, said Lexi softly.

Stefan shook his head sadly saying, "I don't want to. I can't, it hurts. Everything hurts," answered Stefan as tears started forming in his eyes. Lexi sat up next to him and put Stefan's head in her lap.

"Tell me", she said, brushing his hair soothingly.

"I won't go anywhere, Stefan. I'll stay with you," added Lexi, thinking inside her head that this boy had made an imprint on her, and she knew she already cared for him.

Suddenly, Stefan started crying. Not just crying, he started bawling as he told Lexi about how much he missed Damon, about killing all those people, and finally about Katherine.

Lexi listened through all of it, and she got angry inside when he told her about Katherine. That bitch had played them both, and she deserved her death. Poor Stefan, Lexi mused.

Finally, after hours and hours of crying, Stefan fell asleep in Lexi's lap, and Lexi fell asleep with her head against one of Stefan's book cases. When dawn came the next morning, Stefan woke up, confused.

Lexi reassured him, stood up, and took his hand.

"We're going away Stefan. Too much killing here."

"It's me and you now, we can do this," said Lexi smiling at him.

Stefan looked her in the eyes and said,"Thank you," before pulling her into a tight unexpected embrace.
