Scottie spent the night letting her mind run wild with everything that had happened over the last few days. She didn't know exactly what she wanted to do about Stefan but somehow still longed for him. After zero sleep and many cups of coffee, she did the only thing that felt right in her gut, she got dressed and went to the commons to sit and wait on Stefan.

She sat there for six hours before it was finally two o'clock and she saw Stefan heading her way.

"Stefan Salvatore," Scottie began once he was close enough to hear her, "I have no idea what to make of everything you've told me but I do know that I'm in love with you so I am choosing to learn to get used to it all," she finished, feeling like she could've made the 'I love you' part slightly more romantic.

Stefan's eye's widened in shock as he listened to her speak, "You love me? Enough to look past all that I've revealed about myself?"

Scottie nodded, "I don't have a choice. My heart's made up my mind. Ugh, that was super cheesy. I do, however, want you to take me to your town and let me help you end ties with the people who showed up and made you miserable so that we can begin a life with less complication," she proposed.

Stefan sighed, "That's probably impossible and we can't get into the town because of the magic ban," he watched her face take on a look of disbelief again, "Witches, werewolves, magic, everything is real. But, I will take you close to town borders and introduce you to my friends. I've been hiding for long enough and they were right to be mad yesterday."

Scottie nodded, "When do we leave?" she asked, her tone surprisingly casual.

Stefan walked forward and kissed her forehead, "Right now. And don't worry, I won't let anyone harm you," he said reassuringly as he took her hand and they headed to his car. Scottie gulped, slightly nervous now.
