Chapter 2: Long Lost Brother
The sun rose up and the birds starting chirping while the wind made the leaves rustle and crunch. Elena slowly opened her eyes carefully and started blinking uncontrollable, she wasn't used to the light. She moved the hair out of face and took a look around Stefan's room quietly. She was over-thinking about the situation that happened last night. She kept telling herself it wasn't a big deal, but truth to be told, it was. She had known Stefan for years, practically her whole life and she never heard him mention a brother or any other sibling. Was he ashamed of him? What was the story behind this? She wanted to ask him numerous questions but she knew Stefan easily becomes disappointed and annoyed. She leaned forward to straighten her back and she stretched her backsides. She rotated her body and placed her cold feet on the wooden ground. She glanced at the picture of her and Stefan located on the bedside table and sighed heavily. She felt nothing for him, not anymore, not in a long time, but how long until one of them decide to break things off? She knew Stefan didn't have the guts to do it. Elena was the one who had to confront him and tell the truth, but she didn't want to lose or hurt anybody close to her. That was the problem, she cared to much. She didn't care about herself or consider making her own decisions. Today was the day when everything changes. She wasn't going to sit around and feel sorry for herself, she needed to say the truth and become more confident and less scared.
She jumped off the bed and decided to go find Stefan but instead, she changed her mind and started searching through his personal belongings. She knew he would be furious if he ever caught her looking at his stuff but she needed answers. She thought she could make through the entire day without being so anxious and curious but she couldn't. She looked through some of his old books, albums and yearbooks to find any evidence but they was no sign. Elena didn't want to live in a world where everyone tells her constant lies and betray her, she wanted someone to be there for her, experience real love, true love. Grow up, have children, have a family, grow old with someone special but she started having doubts about everything surrounding her. She thought it was all a fantasy and nothing was meant to end like that. She didn't want all her wishes to be shared with Stefan, she couldn't lead him on anymore. It had to end and finish now, no questions asked. She had to say what she really felt, what she wanted, who she wanted and why, the truth.
She walked downstairs calmly, preparing what was going to happen in this very moment. She placed her hands on the back of her head firmly and began walking back and fourth in a circle in the same area, wondering if this was the right time and place. She was speechless. She always thought Stefan was the one, the one who she will love till the very end of time but she was wrong, he was the opposite. She exhaled heavily, "Stefan, we need to talk." She yelled from the living room, hoping he would in the Boarding House.
"Elena, in here." Stefan replied from the next room. He sounded frightened and scared, she never seen this side of him. He was always happy and unpredictable. She entered the room and saw Stefan standing next to a man with beautiful blue eyes and short thick black hair and wearing nothing but black clothing. "This is Damon, my brother." He gestured and fake smiled. Knots in her stomach began, sweaty palms and she couldn't stop shivering. Why was she acting like this? She hardly knew him, all she knew that he was Stefan's older brother and he never had the effort to visit him in the past years. Maybe he had a reason or he didn't bother seeing his long lost brother but she was willing to get to know him and see where life goes on from there.
Damon stepped closer to her, pulling his hand out for a shake. He smirked, "I'm Damon, you must be Elena." She pulled closer to him and held her hand in front of him. Damon kissed the top of her hand, almost forgetting about her sweaty hands. She knew she couldn't end her relationship with Stefan now, it was wrong. His brother just came in town and he must have a lot of things on his mind. "Well, I better go unpack my stuff, great meeting you Elena." With in a second, he was gone.
She blinked and looked up at Stefan. "What did you want to talk about?" She frowned and inhaled, looking down at the cold floor again. She didn't think of a plan B and any other ideas if this didn't go as plan. She walked to the nearest couch and sat down slowly, placing her hands on her lap.
She took a deep breathe, she promised herself she was going to change. She needed to do things her way now, she was sick of being treated like a child. Stefan, this isn't going to work. We both know that from the start, and I reached to the end of the line when I just can't handle this anymore. She wished she said that but instead, "It can wait, enjoy your day with your brother, sure you must have plenty of catching up to do." Without a blink, she rushed out of the house and headed back home, saving herself from humiliation.
I'm sorry for waiting so long. School started and I had a lot of work to do. This chapter is quite short compared to the first chapter but I promise you, I will write a longer chapter next time.
Thank you for reading this chapter even if you weren't intrigued. I'm not happy with this chapter but at least I updated it.
Please review, follow and favourite!
