So, this is the new chapter, it´s a little later than promised but I was quite busy and I wanted it to be longer than the last one. I don´t want the chapters to be to long, for one I think it would just feel as if I put two chapters together to make it longer and I don´t want this story to end that fast.
"Hey" Stefan said quietly looking at her, analyzing every inch of her face, asking himself how he ever missed it.
"Hey", her voice came out uncertain, not sure how to act around him anymore.
He slowly reached out his hand to her face, she didn´t dare to breath. Seeing his hand come closer she wasn´t sure how to act. But then he wiped of a tear on her cheek, that she didn´t even realize was there. Stefan looked at her sad, he couldn´t stand her shedding another tear, so he stood up in one graceful movement and he looked down at her with certain eyes.
"Stand up!"
Caroline was not really sure what to make out of this whole situation, she was surprised by his confident voice, the opposite of the man who cried in her arms last night.
"Why do you want me to sta-" before she could even finish her question he came to her side picking her up and putting her back on the ground right in front of him.
"What are you doing ?"
"I told you that we are going to get Bonnie and Damon back" he smiled
Caroline wasn´t really sure where the sudden confidence came from but she decided to follow his example.
"Oh... Well ok so what are we going to do? "
"I thought about it a lot and realized that we don´t have many options, first of all we need a witch and well I thought who knows more witches than Klaus ?"
"Klaus?" Caroline didn´t think she would ever see him again after what happened in the woods...
"Yes, he is our only hope, he knows powerful witches and he will help us."
"What makes you think that he´ll help ?" but she kind of already knew the answer...
"Because he will do it for you..." Stefan said looking down, Caroline couldn´t tell if he just was uncomfortable or maybe jealous...?
"Stefan I don´t have feeling for him he won´t do it"
"But he has feelings for you and that will be enough for him" Caroline knew that he was right.
"So when are we going to New Orleans ?"
"Pack your things we´re going in an hour."
"One hour ?! What about Elena ?"
"We can´t tell her I don´t want her to get false hope, she wouldn´t be able to deal with another loss."
"You´re right it´s best if we don´t tell, let´s just say that you can´t stand staying in Mystic Fall any longer so you´re going to Chicago and I´m following you so you don´t lose control and become the Ripper again"
" Yeah that´s a good excuse, okay so you go to Elena tell her what you just told me, then grab your things and we´ll meet in an hour at my car"
1 HOUR LATER
"What did she say ? Did she try to stop you ?" He opened the trunk and put in their bags.
"I don´t think she even heard me, her eyes were red from crying and she just sat on her bed looking at the wall."
"She´s in shock, especially with being a vampire her feelings are heightened and she´s overwhelmed with sadness."
"We have to fix this."
"We will" Stefan opened the door for her
ON THE ROAD
Caroline couldn´t stand it anymore she had to talk about what happened last night, and she knew that it could never happen. After all he was her best friends Ex-boyfriend and he would never stop loving her, she would always be the second choice.
"Stefan?"
"Yes?"
"About last night...I mean the kissing part"
"Oh, that...Yes, well I don´t know what you think but I think it felt kind of like it was-" but Caroline interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"-a mistake, right ? I mean it was a mistake, we were both sad, you had just lost your brother and you needed comfort. We just got carried away. I mean we are best friends." She knew that she was talking shit and that it felt right, but she couldn´t even admit it to herself.
"Yes, you´re right, a mistake."Now Stefan did the same thing, lying out lout, yet the difference was that he was aware of what he felt, but he wasn´t about to embarrass himself by confessing his feelings to a person who clearly, to him, didn´t feel the same way.
"Well good" Caroline smiled and Stefan couldn´t help but smile back, she just was so full of live and she was the only person who could shift his mood that sudden "now that we have that cleared out, the road trip can begin"
