AN: SO here is a new fanfic, it's been running through my head for the past few weeks, and I decided it obviously wants to be written. It's all A/U &A/H. Some characters may be mixed up too, as in relationships and friendships. Just a warning it will be very sad at one point, this is also just a little two-three shot, unless you guys will want me to continue. Well let me know what you think please? My first attempt at tragedy/angst hopefully it goes well.
_Never got to say good-bye_
It had been six months since the accident, and Elena still couldn't believe everything that had happened, but she relived it every night since it happened. They had been so happy everything was looking up for them. Stefan had just opened a small little book store/café down town and it was doing very well. Elena had just published her first book and was on her way to being one of New York's top sellers. They had bought a small four bedroom house in the country between Mystic Falls and Richmond. Things were going great for them; neither of them thought anything could come between them.
(flashback)
It was their third anniversary, and Stefan's sister Caroline was throwing them a party at the Lockwood Mansion. On the way in to Mystic Falls, their car had gotten a flat tire, just as Stefan pulled the car over Elena's door was ripped open and she was roughly pulled out. It all happened so fast she couldn't even realize what was happening.
A man had pulled her out and was holding knife at her throat as his other arm wrapped around her and held her to his body. She seen Stefan run out of the car towards them but was stopped by another larger man who had stepped in front of him holding a gun straight at his head. She screamed as she realized what was going to happen, she saw Stefan dive at the man as she heard a gunshot go off as she was thrown to the ground pain shooting from her head to her legs.
She tried screaming for Stefan as she heard more gunshots, and sounds of struggle, but all that came out was a gargling noise. When her vision began to clear up she saw Stefan fighting with the smaller man who had grabbed her and the larger man on the ground. She rolled over and tried crawling over towards them she was determined to help him. But as she did so unbearable pain ripped through her body, and she screamed out in pain.
All she could do was lay there and watch as the man she loved fought with their attacker.
Her scream must have distracted him, because he no longer had the upper hand, he let go of the attacker and turned to run towards Elena. The attacker turned the fun on Stefan and let off a four rounds before Stefan fell on his knees in front of Elena. She had seen blood start to soak through his shirt, and his face was bloodied.
He crawled over to her and laid somewhat over her like he was trying to protect her.
"Stefan you're bleeding." She said so soft she didn't think he could here her.
"I'm fine were fine angel, don't worry ok?"He gritted out.
Elena knew he was hurt, and she could tell he was in a lot of pain from his voice, but all she could do was smile as Stefan took her hand and rubbed her face with the other.
The last thing she remembered was Stefan kissing her and softly telling her he loved her and that they would be ok as everything went black.
When she woke up she was in a bright white room. Her vision was a little blurry so she strained her eyes as she tried to see where she was at. She heard a machine beeping, and when she went to bring her arm up to her head she noticed IV's attached to her arm and bruises all over it.
She remembered what had happened to her and Stefan, but she couldn't remember what happened after he had whispered he loved her.
She quickly realized no one was in the room and searched for the call help button, once she found it she pressed it once and went to press it again when the doors flew open and a doctor and two nurses came running to her bed.
Nothing was said, it was silence as they looked her over, only speaking in medical terms to one another as Elena sat there and watched them.
"Miss. Gilbert can you hear me?"
Elena nodded.
"Can you speak for me?"
Elena nodded and swallowed.
"Yes." She whispered out.
"Do you remember what happened to you?"
She nodded.
"Where's Stefan?"
"Miss. Gilbert, would you like it if your aunt and uncle come in?"
Elena nodded.
"Where's Stefan?"
She asked again and again it was ignored as the doctor left the room.
She must have asked the nurses a million times where Stefan was as they waited for the doctor to come back. Elena's little heart began to beat faster and she starting to panic.
"Elena, sweetie I'm so happy you're awake!"
Jenna ran up to the side of her bed and grabbed Elena's hand. Ric stood behind Jenna with his hand on her shoulder.
"Where's Stefan? Aunt Jenna they won't tell me where Stefan is!"
Jenna looked to the doctors and Elena felt her hand tighten around hers. Something was wrong, where the hell was Stefan at.
"Aunt Jenna please, where is he? Is he ok? How bad was he hurt? Can I see him?"
She was rushing her words out so fast; she could hear her heart going crazy on the heart monitor.
But no one would answer her! She looked at Ric begging for answers, but all she saw was a sad sullen look on his face as he shook his head and looked down at the floor. When she turned to Jenna she saw the same only a few tears had fallen down.
"Someone tell me what the hell is going on! Please I want to know where Stefan is now!" She yelled.
Jenna began to cry and released Elena's hand and walked behind Ric.
Ric kneeled down in front of Elena.
"Elena, there are many things we have to tell you. Most will not be as hard as what I am about to tell you but unfortunately I have to tell you."
Elena took a deep breath and nodded.
"Honey, Stefan was hurt really bad, you both were really, but he was hurt worse."
Elena nodded yes she knew he had been shot.
"Sweetie, I don't think you knew how bad he was hurt."
"I know how he was hurt really bad. I seen him get shot. I just want to see him please?
Jenna began to sob. Elena knew then that something was very wrong.
"I can't see him can I?" She barely spoke as her lip began to tremble.
Ric shook his head.
"I'm sorry honey, but Stefan didn't make it."
"NO!" She wailed out.
Stefan couldn't be gone. He told her they would be fine!
"NO! IT'S NOT TRUE; HE TOLD ME WE WOULD BE FINE!" She screamed through sobs.
Ric tried his best to calm her down. She wasn't having it.
"No, I don't believe it. Take me to him now!"
She yelled as she yanked the IV's out of her arm and jumped out of the bed.
She ran and it hurt like hell. The whole time it felt as though her body was being ripped apart, but she didn't care she had to find Stefan. This was all one big cruel joke.
