"I never gave a second thought and now it's too late
I gave up too much letting you go
And all the time I think about how you need to know"

Stefan

It seemed like days had passed when it had only been hours. I called Bonnie to tell her about the crash, she sounded horrified when I told her. Jenna had calmed down a bit when I told her Elena had woken up, and Jeremy was happier too. I refused to leave Elena's side, it was great seeing her awake again. However she still said it was her fault. "I can't believe this happened." She said, her eyes on me now. "I mean what are the chances?"

"What do you mean?"

"My parents." She said.

"Oh, right." I said, she smiled weakly at me. I couldn't believe I nearly lost that smile. "It's fate isn't it?"

She shrugged. "Fate or not, I bet Katherine's happy." She chuckled a bit. I bit my lip at her saying that.

"Yeah." I said, smiling back at her. "Do you want some water?" I asked her as I stood up, "I'm getting a drink anyway so water?" She smiled again and nodded. I kissed her forehead, "I love you." I whispered before heading down the hall to Jeremy's room. Inside I saw he and Jenna laughing. "Hey, do you guys want anything to drink?" I asked.

They shook their heads. "No thanks Stefan." Jeremy smiled.

I nodded and continued down the hall to the water machine. Damon was suddenly stood with me, waiting to fill up as well. "I hear the Witch is on her way." He said.

"Yes," He rolled his eyes and grinned. "she's Elena's friend."

"That means Blondie will be here too, doesn't it?" I nodded and he rolled his eyes, crushing the plastic cup in his hand. "Joy." He muttered.

He followed me to Elena's room when I'd done the cups. Damon leant against the door frame as we saw Elena was now asleep, "Elena," I put the water down and touched her hand, she didn't move. "Elena wake up!" I tapped her arm but still nothing. "Damon." I said in panic.

He ran out of the room, "We need help in here!" He shouted. Two nurses ran in and checked the machines.

"She's septic," One said, putting the oxygen mask back on her. "she's still bleeding somewhere, we need to get her to surgery now." They said, wheeling her out of the room without me being able to say a word.

"I'd better tell Jenna." Damon said. "You'll need time to think." He added, starting down the hall.

"No, I'll do it, she'll want hear it from me rather than you." I told him, he raised an eyebrow.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He questioned.

I grunted and pushed passed him to Jeremy's room, only to find Jenna outside crying. Before I could say anything they wheeled Jeremy out of his room. "What happened?" I asked her, in total shock for the second time.

"He kept complaining of a headache and that he felt dizzy... and the next thing I knew he was unconsious and his heart monitor was going crazy." She sobbed, then she looked up and saw my expression. "What is it? It's Elena isn't it?" I nodded slowly.

"She's gone back into surgery." I said, a lump rising in my throat at the thought. That was all I needed to say, her knees buckled and she fell to the floor, crying her heart out. At that moment Alaric ran in, seeing Jenna on the floor.

"Oh Hun," He said, gentley helping her from the floor and alllowing her to wrap her arms around him to cry. "they'll be fine, I promise." He stroked her hair softly and kissed it. I was very envious of that, it made the lump in my throat rise again as I imagined me and Elena together. "Lets get you some coffee." He whispered before nodding at me.

Absent mindedly I walked through the same doors, seeing Bonnie pacing around outside Elena's room, her eyes spilling with tears as she bit her lip so much it was turning red. Caroline, however, was clinging to Matt, no tears in her eyes but instead there was panic. Matt was another story, his face was blank, there was no sign of emotion. I understood that, how are you supposed to feel? Bonnie looked over at me and ran over to me, hugging me tightly as she exploded into floods of tears. Neither of us said a word.

"How are they?" Caroline asked, still clung to Matt.

"Not good." I whispered.

"Oh my God." Bonnie said tearfully, her hands now covered her mouth.

We were joined the a Doctor, we, including Damon, gathered to listen to him. "How are they?" Matt asked, stroking a distressed Caroline.

"They're in a bad way. Elena is in surgery again, she's still bleeding somewhere but we don't know where. And Jeremy, we almost lost him but he's stable now and is currently having a MRI scan." He told us."

"MRI... isn't that the for the brain?" Bonnie asked.

"It's not necessarily used for the brain." He said to her. "I'll return later with more news on their progress, in the meantime why don't you go home and get some rest." He advised before walking away. I looked at the others.

"I'm not leaving, not until I know Jeremy and Elena are okay." Bonnie said stubbornly.

"It's fine, I'll call you with any news." I told them.

"No Stefan, my best friend and her brother are probably dying. I am staying." She argued.

Damon stepped in front of me, "Don't talk to my brother like that you aggravating little witch, Stefan has more to lose here so don't even think for one second you're staying." He growled at her.

She laughed humorlessly, "More to lose? I've grown up with both of them, I was there to help them through the death of their parents, which might I add was because of a damn car crash like this. I was there for Elena when your brother left her heart broken."

"That's it-"

"STOP IT!" I shouted, alarming everyone. "Just shut up, both of you." I shouted, glaring at their guilty faces and storming away. On the way down the hall I saw Ric stood at the coffee machine, banging it with his fist as he complained. "What did that thing ever do to you?" I questioned, trying to put on a smile.

He turned to me, "Stupid thing won't work." He said, a smile now growing on his face. The machine shook and began pouring coffee into the plastic cup. "How are you?" He asked, leaning against the machine.

"I don't know," I answered. "it hasn't really hit me yet. How's Jenna?"

"A mess, she won't stop crying, I mean who can blame her? She's already lost two people she's loved."

"She won't lose two more, Elena and Jeremy are fighters, they have to be considering what they've been through." I said, hoping I was right.
