Probing Thoughts

Elena looked silently at the rain pouring on her window sill as she wrote her thoughts down in her diary.

Dear, Diary

Stefan is back to normal and things should be back as they should be, but, they aren't.

Elena shook her head silently as the she began to write again.

How could they after Stefan almost hurt me, almost killed Amber, almost took his own life, especially after what he did to…
