A continuation of the Stefan and Elena phone call. One-shot. Hope you like it...

Stefan POV

"Stefan?" She questioned, I could tell she was hoping with all her heart that it was me on this end of the phone.

As much as I wanted to answer I couldn't, I just wanted to hear her voice. "Stefan if this is you, you'll be okay," she whispered, "I love you Stefan, hold on to that. Never let that go." I wanted to answer but I just couldn't, I just stood there, silent and on the edge of tears.

Elena POV

It had been about ten seconds and he hadn't answered but I couldn't bring myself to hang up. A few tears started escaped from my eyes, I don't whether I was happy that Stefan was alive or sad that he wouldn't speak to me.

Suddenly the tears started to uncontrollably race down my cheeks. "I miss you," I utter as my voice cracked from crying.

After a few seconds a heard a quiet "I miss you too," through the phone. I sadly smiled at the sound of his voice, even though he sounded like he had been crying too.

"Come home, please" I begged as the tears started to cloud my vision.

"I will, I promise." he assured me but I could tell he was just as broken as I was. "I love you," he stated, "Forever and always."

"Forever and Always." I repeated as I heard him hang up. I silently collapsed onto the floor with my back to my desk, over come with emotion.

After about an hour huddled on the floor I heard someone walk in , I was guessing Jeremy but I wasn't really paying attention.

"Hey Elena, come on lets get you into bed." he said softly whilst grabbing my arms and pulling me up into his arms.

He walked me over to my bed and put me under the covers.

"Thank you," I whispered as he placed my phone on my bedside table.

"It's okay, I know what your going through." I said, it was true he went through this when he lost Anna and Vicki.

I nodded and closed my eyes as I heard him walk out of my room, closing the door behind him.

After five minutes of tossing and turning, my phone beeped. I reached out for it, it was an text from an unknown number. I opened the text and read it slowly.

I love you, forever and always, S.

I looked at the yext for a few seconds and then replied.

I will wait forever for you to come home. I love you, E.

I slept better that night knowing that me and Stefan will be together again, someday.

Hoped you liked it, I absolutely loved the phone between Stefan and Elena-it made me cry!

My other story, Two things I know for certain, will be updated either tomorrow or the next day.

Please read and review,
