Chapter Three
The morning after their kiss, was a hard morning for Elena. She had to tell Bonnie and Caroline that Jeremy was leaving. She could see the pain in Bonnie's eyes, that she still loved him, despite everything that Jeremy had done to her. And Elena hated that she had to cause her friend so much pain. Hated the relief that filled her that Jeremy was leaving, despite all of Bonnie's pain. She didn't want him to go, because she knew it meant losing him, but she was glad he was safe and that he would be one less person to worry about once he was gone.
Of course, she wasn't totally relieved, not even close. Because there was still so much to worry about. She attempted to focus during her classes, but even AP American History, a class she was usually really into, she could not get into. She tuned Alaric out, her mind abuzz with worry.
Stefan was there, and he hadn't really betrayed them, because he had saved Damon. And that made it alright. Yet he held all their lives were on the line, since he had those coffins. Klaus wouldn't stop until he got them. And then there was also the fact that Klaus decided that Mystic Falls might make a nice new home for himself. That was worrisome. The town population had already been dwindling, and although the town wasn't very suspicious, with Klaus stirring up trouble they could get suspicious very soon.
Elena could only hope that if Klaus got the coffins, he might leave Mystic Falls behind forever. And everyone in it. And then things could go back to normal, or as normal as they could ever be. She wasn't even sure what normal was anymore, because the last thought she had of normal was before her parents died. Before she met Stefan and found love for the first time. Before Klaus, before the death of her aunt and her birth father. Before she lost her first love and then found another love in Damon.
Despite how much stress she'd be relieved of, despite it all, if that was normal, she didn't want it back. She loved her parents, but they were never coming back. And she had new people in her life now. A vampire she loved. And her best friend was a witch. Her life could never be normal again.
Elena, biting her lip and trying to manage her thoughts, breathed a sigh of relief when the final bell rang. The school day was over and she had plenty of things to take care, like making sure Jeremy was all packed and ready, making sure dinner was on the table at the appropriate time, and her greatest, most pressing concern, going to talk to Stefan again.
She dreaded it, seeing the person-the vampire-he'd become, but she had to talk to him. To try and change his mind, especially after knowing that he saved Damon and didn't betray them.
With those thoughts in mind she headed off to the witch house.
