A/N: Hey, sorry for confusion. This is somewhat like my version of the show. There might be some small or major changes in my story. Also I'll try to come up with a better summary to explain all this, but I still don't know how my story is going to turn out. Anyways thanks for reading and enjoy!

"Elena! Get ready for school! You're going to be late!"

My eyes suddenly flicked open at the sound of Jeremy's yelling voice. "Ugh. What time is it?" I whispered to myself and looked at the clock beside my bed. "7:45?!" I jumped up out of my bed then stopped.

Wait. Wasn't I at Stefan's last night? How did I get here? What happened? And I'm still wearing Stefan's shirt, I thought in my head. Ugh, I didn't even have time to think. I was already rushing while getting ready.

"Elena, do you mind telling me why you were late last night? I saw you in bed at three in the morning."

Were we really up that late? "I'll tell you later Aunt Jenna. Have to go. Bye!" I heard her sigh before I closed the door.

"He brought you to his house? He gave you his shirt and saw his abs? You took a shower in his house? You were cuddling in the rain? In the cemetery?!"

I was laughing a little at Bonnie's expression. "Okay one, he brought me to his house to get cleaned up. Two, he gave me his clean and dry shirt. Three, he was half naked 'cause he couldn't find his shirt and four, he found me in the cemetery crying so he was cheering me up. Weren't you listening?"

"Yeah, I just can't believe it. Who would've known you would end up at Stefan's house. But are you sure you know what you're doing, Elena? You've only known him for like what? A week?"

Has it only been a week? "I know, but there's something about him. He's different from most guys."

"Well, duh. He's hot. He has this romantic novel brooding stare. Plus he's very mysterious.

We both laughed. "Oh man. He was so sweet yesterday. I even woke up at my house. I don't even remember going to my house."

"Were you two drinking? Elena, what if he drugged you?" Bonnie gave me a questioning sarcastic look.

We laughed again, but harder. "Bonnie! You know he's too nice to do that. And no we weren't drinking."

"I know, I know. But it's a possibility."

"He's so sweet and caring and kind and..." I trailed off just thinking about him.

"Elena!" She snapped and I quickly looked at her. "Oh my gosh. Are you in love with him?"

"No! I can't be. I've only spent like one night with him. Like you said, I've only known him for a week."

"Mhm. Right," she said eying me. "Just be careful Elena. Everything isn't what it seems. Behind that romantic novel face can be a big bad freaky killer guy."

I giggled with her. "You know that's not true."

*Riiiiing!* (School dismissal)

"Hey Elena. Hey Bonnie."

"Hey Stefan. Uh, Elena. I'll talk to you later?" I nodded. "Bye," she said to the both of us.

"Stefan, th-"

"Ah Elena, no. I don't want to hear it again. I know you're thankful so it's okay. It was nice having you around anyway." He smiled.

I couldn't help but smile. "Well, it was nice being with you. And... I'm glad you came. Oh yeah. Before I forget." I went into my bag and pulled out Stefan's shirt.

"Thank you."

"No, th-," Stefan looked at me. "I mean. Your welcome," we laughed.

"Well, I better be going," he said turning.

"Stefan?" he turned from my question. "Was I sleep-walking or something? I woke up in my room," I asked wondering.

"Oh. Well, you fell asleep. You were deep asleep actually. I didn't want to wake you up so I, uh, drove you home."

"Oh. How'd I end up in my room?"

"I searched for your keys and allowed myself in. I hope that was okay for you."

"That's more than okay. Stefan you know you could've woke me up right?"

"I know, but like I said I didn't want to wake you up."

Wow. I can't believe he would do all that. "You better not stop me when I say this 'cause I really want to thank you. I didn't even do anything for you so I must repay you."

"It's fine Elena. No need to repay me."

"No, I will not take that answer Stefan! Hmm. Tonight. Would you like to have dinner with me at the Mystic Grill? I know it's not much, but would you like to come with me?"

He thought about it for a minute and said, "Okay," smiling. "Now I must be going. I'll see you tomorrow." He turned and entered the parking lot.

"Elena, I believe you have some explaining to do."

I closed the door behind me as I came in the house and dropped my bag. I was going to tell her I went to Bonnie's but I should owe her the truth after everything we've been through.

"Well, you know that Stefan guy?"

"Oh, the cute guy you like?"

I gave her a mucky look. "Well, he saw me in the cemetery really wet. So he took me to his house to give me some dry clothes," I said quickly.

"Elena! You can't just go to some guy's house! You don't even know what he'll do to you. He could be some freaky killer guy."

"Did you and Bonnie have some kind of talk before I came? She said the same thing."

"That's 'cause we could be right," she laughed a little.

"Well, both of you aren't. I trust him. He's a good guy," I smiled.

"What was he doing in the cemetery? And you?"

"I went there just to, you know, see mom and dad. He was there because he has family there."

"Oh. Well, Elena I know you miss your mom and dad, but you shouldn't be alone there in the dark. Especially after all the attacks that's been going on. And you should've at least called."

"I know, I know. I'll call next time Aunt Jenna."

"And Elena?"

"Yes?"

"If you still feel really down because of your parents you could always come to me you know."

"I know Aunt Jenna. Thank you," I said walking up the stairs.

"Alright. Um, now go to your room! And uh... do your homework!"

"You know, you're getting pretty good at this discipline parent stuff," I giggled and continued walking back up the stairs.

"Well, thank you."

Dear Diary,

Today I am happy. I am happy that I saw him today. I'm happy he saw me yesterday. There's no one I'd rather want to have saved me than Stefan. Being with him makes me feel so happy. It's like he makes me forget about all my problems. I've never really felt any guy that really connects to me before. He's so kind and caring and hot might I add. But there's something about him that, that... I don't know. It's like he's hiding something from me or he doesn't want me to know something. He doesn't really talk about him much. I shouldn't worry though. We're just friends anyway. But my heart is telling me something , I invited Stefan with me to dinner. Well, I had to repay him for what he did the other night. It was the only best thing I came up with at the top of my head. I know it really is nothing, but I'm kind of excited.

My thoughts about Stefan were suddenly interrupted by my cell phone's abrupt ringing which caused me to jump.

"Hello?"

"Hey, I'm going to pick you up in ten minutes. Is that okay with you?"

My eyes widened. "Oh, yeah I'm ready." I ran to my bathroom and hurried fixing my hair.

"Great. Uh, are you okay?"

I hadn't noticed I'd been breathing deeply. "Yeah! I'm great. I'm just exercising. Around the house. Did you know that it's good to run up and down the stairs?" I started breathing deeper to exaggerate my breathing and talking quickly. I heard a little laugh behind the phone.

"Oh, interesting. Well, I'll let you finish. Bye."

"Bye." Stupid, stupid, stupid! I was mimicking my words I said to him earlier in a childish voice. Ugh, I'm so stupid!

After a while I was applying some makeup and brushing my teeth quickly when the doorbell rang. Oh gosh!

"Elena! The door's for you!" Jeremy yelled.

"I'll be right there!" Oh man. My hair was still in a bit of a mess. I grabbed my comb and tried fixing my hair.

I ran down the stairs finding Stefan at the front door.

"Elena, there's som-"

"Bye Jeremy!" I closed the front door before he was going to say something probably insulting.

"Ready?"

"Yup." We walked toward his Porsche and he did that chivalrous door opening thing again. Ah, I loved that.

We sat in his car and before he started he leaned forward to me. My heart was racing. Oh no. What's he gonna do? He reached his hand to my hair and patted it gently, still looking at me with those intense mysterious eyes.

"Your hair. It was kind of sticking out."

"Oh thanks," stupid! I could feel my face turning red, burning with embarrassment.

"You look beautiful tonight," he gave me a warm smile.

I smiled back and leaned to him. "Thank you." We were so close. Close enough that I wanted to kiss him, but he pulled back just in time. With that, we took off and headed toward Mystic Grill.
