Alone

Chapter: 9

Elena's POV:

I got off the couch and started upstairs to put my diary away when a pair of arms caught me. I thought it was Damon, the corners of my mouth rose into a smile as I turned to see his face. My face dropped automatically, "St- Stefan your back?"

"Yes my lovely love and I missed you more than words can say."

"Stefan Why, Why did you leave?"

He opened his mouth to speak when someone interrupted him, "Well, well, well if it isn't little Stefan. How was you trip little brother?" Damon walked past and into the living room and took a seat in an armchair. "Well, are you going to tell us were you've been?" He called.

I broke away from the hold Stefan had on me, walked into the living room, and took a seat on the couch.

Stefan's POV:

I don't know if it was just me but Elena was not happy to see me, she seemed distant. I pushed those thoughts away and took a seat on the other armchair.

I took a deep breath then began, "I went to Philadelphia because I was told to leave you or he would kill you." I finished, looking at Elena.

"Who is this 'he' you are talking about?" Damon chimed in from his seat.

I turned my attention towards him the answered, "Quinn, he was a friend in the 1900's, somewhere along the way he turned into a threatening bitch."

Elena's POV:

Damon and Stefan are still talking about the Quinn guy and my thoughts were going back to the time at the mall. Damon said then, that somebody threatened his life and mine. I wonder if it is the same person. My mind went farther to the promise that Damon made me that day, he would never leave me. The thought made me smile.

I shook my head in effort to clear my thoughts before speaking, "Stefan that still doesn't explain anything, what if he just wanted you to leave so he could kill me easily." I was probably getting angry for nothing but, all my feeling inside were twisted.

"I realize that now, I'm sorry my love, will you ever forgive me?"

"It's not just that fact that you left Stefan, you lied to me about the reason. I thought we agreed to be honest with each other no matter what."

Not realizing how late it has gotten I decided to go upstairs and try to sleep. "I think I am going to go upstairs and go to bed, Good night Stefan, Damon." I stated looking at both of them, Damon's eyes held mine for a minute before

I turned too got upstairs.

I went into the room I shared with Stefan and grabbed my pajamas, clothes for the next day, and my shampoo from the shower. As I was about to walk out of the room something caught my eye, Damon's shirt from this morning. I quickly buried it in the bottom of the hamper in some of my clothes. If I gave it back to Damon, Stefan would probably catch me; I will do laundry tomorrow and no harm no foul.

I stormed out of the room and ran right into Stefan. "Where are you going?"

"I am going to stay in the guest room tonight." I saw his face drop. "I'm sorry Stefan I just need a little time to think this over." He nodded and walked into his room.

I walked into the guest room and closed the door behind me. I laid my pajamas on the foot of the bed and put my clothes for the following day in the chair adjacent from the bed.

I walked into the bathroom to take a shower taking my diary with me. I trust Damon; I don't trust him with my diary though. He might not even show up while I'm in the shower but you never know with Damon.

I stepped in the shower when the water got warm and let the water wash all the worries I had away.

When I felt better, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a big towel around my self while I blow dried my hair. I ran the brush threw my hair, grabbed my dairy and walked out of the bathroom to see a smirking Damon sprawled across the bed comfortably.

"Damon, you have to leave."

"Why, because little saint Stefan came back?"

"He can not know what happened between us just yet." I said trying to walk towards my pajamas but Damon blocked my way. He walked closer to me, I felt myself being drawn to his lips.

"Damon, do you think the vampire who threatened you at the mall is the same one that threatened Stefan?" I asked abruptly to break my train of thought.

He laughed silently, "Trying to get rid of me aren't you?" The smirk growing bigger on his face he turned on his heels and walked out. I locked the door behind him, which I should have done in the first place, and got dressed quickly all the while a strange feeling was growing in the pit of my stomach.
