Recap Chapter 14: Stefan is staying with Alexis as a friend; Elena is having second thoughts about talking to Stefan but is steady going anyway.

Cleaning

Chapter: 15

Damon and Elena were now in Tennessee, there was no turning back now. Elena was starting to feel sick to her stomach because of nerves. Everyone always said it was better to get unpleasant business done earlier, she always agreed with them up to today.

Damon continued to drive comfortably with one hand on the wheel and the radio playing in the background. Comfortably silence fell between them miles back. If Elena was being honest with herself she didn't want to talk, she needed to think, get her thoughts clear about what exactly she was going to say to Stefan so she doesn't upset him more.

There was a loud ringing and Elena's phone vibrated violently in her pocket. She jumped as the sound of the ringing cell phone brought her out of her thoughts; she dug in her bag to answer it.

Hello?

Hello Elena, how's the trip?

Hi Aunt Jenna, everything is okay, we are in Tennessee now."

Really? Call when you know how Stefan is. Love you Elena and be careful.

Of course Jenna I will. I love you too. Good bye.

Good Bye.

"Jenna?" Damon said, speaking for the first time in a while.

"Yeah, she's calling to check in and probably reminding me when I have to be home even if she didn't say she wanted to; she just didn't want to come over pushy."

"We will get you home in time; we don't want you grounded again." Damon gave her a smirk and turned back towards the road.

Elena rolled her eyes and when back to her thoughts that had been previously interrupted.

Stefan and Alexis was eating breakfast, an uncomfortable silence filled the room. It was getting to Stefan more than it should when he blurted out, "I'm sorry Alexis, I'm sorry I kissed you and went back home."

Alexis looked at him shocked and another emotion flickered across her face but it was gone before it could set. "I don't want to talk about it Stefan." She whispered in a stern voice before she left the room, leaving Stefan alone with his own misdoings.

Stefan wasn't sure how to feel, many thoughts were racing through his mind. He always liked Alexis but as a friend, could they be more? There is always Elena; he will always love her no matter what, even if she did say she loved his brother. The back part of his mind told him he will never get Elena back but it came to the fact of accepting it or fighting against it. Then always there was Alexis, he didn't know how to feel, he just knew that his feelings were growing for her since his first visit. Stefan felt as if he was stuck in a maze of thoughts and feelings but in the reality of it all he wasn't.

Elena decided to take out her diary and write to clear her head,

Dear Diary,

I figured that what ever I am going to tell Stefan is going to be impromptu. I will find out when I get there what I am going to say. Wish me luck.

Aunt Jenna called, no doubt trying to remind me about what time I have to be home. She might also be "worried" about Stefan. She did like Stefan. That reminds me, what am I going to do if and when she finds out about Damon and me? She will definitely not take that very well. She hates Damon. I guess we will take that when it comes.

"We will be there in fifteen minutes princess." Damon warned.

Sorry Diary I have to go we are almost there.

~Elena~

Elena closed her diary and put it back in the bottom of her bag. They drove the rest of the way in considerable silence witch seemed to fill most of the trip. The silence seemed to be welcoming to Elena until now.

They pulled into a driveway of a large two-story house. This was it. It was now or never.
