Okay, so how many of you hate me yet? Yeah yeah, I know I am 5 months late. Sue me, gag me, kill me do your worst. Luckily for me I was cleaning up my files when I noticed some chapters of a certain story. I quickly opened the file, edited it, and posted it on here.
So here is chapter two of this story. BTW I will be changing the story to M for later chapter because you know I can't have no smut in my stories. I edited it myself because I felt like you all waited long enough. I hope you all are still with me, enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters or The Vampire Diaries. Just my idea.
Elena opened her eyes suddenly, taking in all of her surroundings,
"Elena!" One of the nurses that was standing above her called trying to get her to respond. Elena let out a grunt trying to sit up, a few doctors pulled her arms up to sit her up straight. Elena looked around to see the worried faces of her friends and family, but one face stood out more than anyone's.
"Stefan?" She asked meeting eyes with the green-eyed man once again. He chuckled,
"I'm starting to be a little freaked out on how you know my name." Elena let out a forced laugh,
"I don't even know." Of course she knew, but she couldn't just tell him how. Telling him that she knew him and also dated him in her obviously imaginary world that she had created the past 5 years in her head didn't sound too convincing. She rubbed her head, it was pounding like it was when she woke up earlier. One of the other nurses pulled up a wheelchair and helped put her on it.
"It's my fault," the nurse Mandy she had talked to earlier spoke up, "I should have kept a better eye on her." Elena shook her head,
"It's not your fault. I didn't even see it coming." Elena gave the nurse a reassuring smile before she was pushed away back into her room.
Once they arrived they helped Elena back into the bed and covered her with the blanket.
"Don't worry, Elena," The doctor said grabbing her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze, "Everything will work out soon enough." Elena smiled and nodded her head. She wasn't sure if she would get used to this, this normal life thing. She couldn't help but be joyed about the fact that they were real...that he was real. A small smile formed on her face.
The nurse left and Elena got up and led herself to the bathroom. She walked over to the small mirror that hung above the sink. She looked at her features, her skin was less tan than it usually was, her eyes had dark circles underneath them, and her face was more defined from the lack of nutrients that she usually ate. Elena touched her hands to her eyes, trying to see if she thought about blood those veins that formed under eyes would appear. When they didn't the situation was all clear; she was really human and that supernatural mess was all just a dream, a silly world she had created when she was asleep.
She wished she could go back, she wanted her old life back even if so many times she wondered what it would be like to be free and normal once again. She hated it, hated not knowing any of the people she had before.
Elena woke up early the next morning; she was ready to leave. But she feared that if she left she wouldn't see him anymore, she would never she the man that she was still in love with ever again. She feared that the most.
"You ready?" Jenna asked giving her a soft smile. Elena nodded and grabbed the things others had left for her over the years she was asleep. As they walked through the hospital hallways she couldn't help but peak into the room that the Eldest Salvatore was in. She saw him sitting up, a bunch of nurses surrounding him taking his blood pressure. When he looked up at her his blue eyes pierced her's and her breath hitched. He cocked his head and looked confused, did he know her like she knew him? She asked herself not removing her eyes from his. Damon looked away after a few seconds making Elena exit her trance.
Jenna walked up to the desk and told the nurse that Elena was leaving. The nurse nodded and handed her a release pass to show the man at the front door.
"Elena!" The nurse called and Elena turned around quickly, "If you ever feel drowsy like you might faint make sure to come back immediately." Elena nodded, "I will."
On the car ride back to the Gilbert home Elena's aunt kept looking over at her, "You know everyone missed you, right?" She asked with a smile on her face. Elena faked a smile,
"I missed everyone too." Elena missed her aunt, after her death the days got harder to get past. After she lost Alaric as well she started losing hope of ever having someone to stand by her side for the rest of her life. You would always have Damon, A voice said in her head. Tears threatened to burst.
"I met someone," her aunt said smiling, "You'll love him, his name is Alaric." Elena looked up suddenly, joy filling her to every nerve. Elena couldn't help but smile at the news,
"Alaric, huh?" Elena asked and her Aunt nodded,
"He's great." Elena murmured a 'I bet' under her breath, her aunt hadn't heard her.
They pulled up to the house she saw everyone waiting for her outside. They all wore smiles that proved how happy they were that she was here, with them. In Elena's mind she had been with them all along. But seeing Alaric, Damon, and Stefan changed her views on whether that dream world had really been so far from reality.
Soon after everyone left Elena headed up to her bedroom, her aunt gave her a kiss on the forehead,
"Don't sleep too good." Her aunt said trying to make light of the situation, even though Elena could hear the seriousness in her tone. Elena laughed lightly and walked upstairs. Once she walked into her room it looked the very same it had before her parents accident. As she changed into her pajamas she debated leaving the window open like she always had for Damon when he decided to make a late night trip.
Tears built up in her eyes and finally after experiencing all of this change at once she let the tears fall. She cuddled herself up in her covers and cried herself to sleep. Missing the man that laid beside her most nights, the man that no longer would be with her.
As the sun rose her aunt called her down for breakfast. After five years in a coma a home cooked meal sounded better than anything she heard since she woke up. Elena quickly threw her hair up in a pony tail and made her way down stairs.
"Good morning." Jeremy said from the table. Elena laughed, "Hey aren't you supposed to be moved out by now?" Elena teased her little brother. Jeremy smiled himself, "You're one to talk." Jenna sat the plates of food down in front of them. They talked about Jeremy's schooling and how Jenna was sure Alaric was 'The one'. Elena felt like she belonged here for a second, but only a second.
After the family breakfast Jenna told Elena to hurry up and get dressed because she wanted to make a quick stop into town. Elena changed and applied a little make-up, she ended up settling on a plain t-shirt and some dark denim skinny jeans for bottoms.
"Ready." Elena called and Jenna grabbed her keys then headed into town.
"Oooh." Jenna gushed holding up a pair of jeans, "This is cute." Elena nodded in approval,
"Being in a comma for five years, it is kinda weird to be all normal again." Jenna could hear the sadness in her sarcastic voice,
"It'll get easier." Her aunt rested her hand on Elena's cheek. Elena highly doubted that anything would get easier with time, especially not this.
"Elena I'm going to go check out, should I get the pants?" Her aunt asked cocking an eyebrow. Elena smiled,
"Sure, why not. " Jenna walked up to the counter and pulled out her wallet. Elena walked off and headed outside to the car. As she opened the door a familiar toned chest bumped into her. He grunted and tumbled to the ground along with Elena.
He chuckled, and Elena knew that scent and chuckle anywhere. Did she dare look up? She asked her self holding her breath. She counted to three and quickly met eyes with the blue eyes she had grown to love. He started laughing,
"I'm sorry." She said fast hurrying to get up and brushing herself off. He smirked,
"It's no big deal. I should of watched where I was going." After a few seconds he looked at her more quizzically,
"Do I know you?" He asked seriousness filled his tone. Elena nodded,
"Yeah, I saw you in the hospital."
"Ahh." He said remembering it. But he couldn't help but wonder if he knew her from somewhere else. She looked so familiar.
"I'm Elena by the way." She smiled up at him. He stood up straighter repeating her name,
"Elena." The sound rolled off his tongue, it sounded all too familiar.
"Hello Elena," He gave off one of his most boyish smiles, "I'm Damon."
