Sorry this took so long, but I have to write this on my phone. This chapter doesn't have Bonnie in it, but the next one will include her. Thanks to everybody who follows and favorites this story and my other two! Enjoy!


Elena put the duffel bag in her car's trunk and slammed it shut. She hates this, she really does. Elena sighs as she makes her way to the driver's door. She gets in and starts the car.

Elena backs out of her driveway and heads to Caroline's house. Elena doesn't like how they have to do this. Elena hates that they have to sneak around. Elena hates how they haven't even told Bonnie yet. Elena hates that is has been about six months since they got together, and they still have to sneak around. Elena hates living in this stupid small town.

Before Elena realizes it, she is pulling into Caroline's driveway. Caroline rushes out with her duffel bag and cooler and puts them in Elena's trunk. Caroline walks around the car and gets in the passenger's seat. Elena looks over to Caroline and asks, "Ready?"

Caroline smiles and says, "Yep, let's get this weekend started!"

Elena smiles brighter at Caroline. Caroline is like the sun, and Elena is the earth. The earth needs the sun to survive, and without the earth, the sun has no purpose.

Elena gives Caroline a look and says, "Caroline, put your seatbelt on."

Caroline rolls her eyes. As she puts her seatbelt on she says, "You know Elena, I happen to be a vampire. I don't think a car crash is doing to kill me."

Elena says, "Well I just feel better when you have it on. I feel as if I have no way to protect you. You are a vampire, and I am just a human. Doing little things like making you wear your seatbelt is all I can do to keep you safe."

Caroline smiles and says, "Elena you are so sweet, but you do keep me safe. I know you don't realize it, but you hold power over the Salvatores. You keep me safe by making them keep me safe."

Elena wants to kiss Caroline, but she knows people can see into the car. Caroline's mom could even be watching them right now. Elena pulls out of Caroline's driveway and heads to her parent's cabin.

Elena looks over to Caroline and says, "I hate this."

Caroline says, "Me too."

"I really wish it didn't have to be this way."

Caroline looks over to Elena and says, "Elena, you know why we have to do this."

Elena sighs and says, "Can we at least tell our friends?"

Caroline takes Elena's hand and squeezes it. They lock eyes for a second before Elena turns her attention back to the road. Caroline says, "Elena if word gets out about us, nobody will ever look at us the same. Our friends won't look at us the same."

"You don't know that.", Elena says quickly defending them.

Caroline asks, "Do you really think Stefan and Damon are going to hang around when they realize that neither of them has a chance with you?"

Elena sighs and says, "All right, I still don't like keeping secrets, though."

Caroline gives Elena's hand another squeeze and says, "I know. I don't either."


Caroline hung up the phone. She said, "Pizza should be here in half an hour."

Caroline walked over to the couch in Elena's cabin and sat down beside Elena. She turned her body so they could see each other. Elena was sitting criss-cross applesauce facing Caroline. Elena said, "That's too long of a wait."

Caroline said, "Well since it's about a ten-minute drive, it is longer than normal."

Elena nodded her head as she turned towards the TV. Elena grabbed the remote and started looking through the channels. Elena asked, "What do you want to watch?"

Caroline shrugs her shoulders and says, "I don't care, I'm in the mood for anything."

Elena finally settles on Bridge to Terabithia. Caroline smiles and says, "Elena, you cry every time."

Elena looks over at Caroline and says, "Well then, we will just have to be doing other activities by the time we get to that part of the movie." Then Elena winks.

Caroline smiles and says, "I think I can keep you smiling instead of crying."

Caroline leans over and gives Elena a quick peck on the mouth. Elena smiles and pulls Caroline towards her. Caroline snuggles into Elena, and Elena wraps her arms around Caroline.

Elena asks, "Is it okay if I put a blanket around us?"

Caroline says, "Of course."

Elena says, "Good because it is getting cold in here." Elena grabs the blanket from the back of the couch and places it around them.

They settle into a comfortable silence as they watch the movie. When a commercial comes on Caroline says, "I hate that we live in Mystic Falls."

Elena starts to play with Caroline's hair. Elena asks, "Why?"

Caroline sighs and says, "It's because we can't be open about our relationship. Trust me, I want to. I really, really want to, but people would look at us differently. They would treat us differently. People wouldn't know how to act around us. I hate this. I can't wait until we graduate. Then, we can move to a bigger town and be open about our relationship."

Elena runs her fingers through Caroline's hair and says, "I can't wait for that day either. I hope we both make it to that day."

Caroline nudges Elena with her elbow and says, "Don't talk like that, I will make sure we both make it to that day."

Elena sighs and says, "I'm just worried that something that we can't handle will come along and you will get hurt. I won't be able to do anything to protect you because let's be honest, the Salvatores will probably save their own lives over yours."

Caroline lifts her head from Elena's chest and looks Elena in the eye as she says, "Elena, promise something, promise me that if something ever comes along that we can't handle, we'll run away together."

Elena nods and says, "I promise."

Caroline says, "Good." Caroline puts her head back on Elena's chest, and Elena wraps her arm around Caroline. They settle back into a comfortable silence as the movie begins again.

After a while, the doorbell rings. Elena says, "I'll get it." She stands up and heads to the door to pay. Caroline walks into the kitchen and gets out some vodka from the liquor cabinet. Caroline also gets tonic water and mixes them up.

Elena comes back with the pizza in her hands. Caroline hands Elena her drink. Elena pecks Caroline on her cheek and says, "Thank you."

Caroline smiles and says, "No problem."


Once they finished their pizza and drinks, Caroline decided it was time to shut off the movie. Elena whines, "Caroline I promise I won't cry this time. Can we please just finish the movie?"

Caroline shakes her head and says, "No, because when you cry, I cry. I really don't feel like crying tonight Elena, I feel like doing," Caroline looks Elena up and down and says, "other activities."

Elena asks, "Caroline Forbes, are you trying to seduce me?"

Caroline pushes Elena's back on the couch and climbs on top of her. She leans down and whispers in Elena's ear, "Is it working?"

Caroline trails down Elena's neck giving her kisses all the way down. Elena nods quickly, it is indeed working.

Elena lets out a shaky breath and says, "Upstairs, now."

Caroline smiles and Elena feels lots of air, then her back touching the wall in her bedroom. Elena says, "I don't think I'll ever get used to that."

Elena flips them over and takes off her shirt. Caroline does the same, then Elena pushes her against the wall. Elena starts at Caroline's collarbone and kisses up her neck to behind her ear. Elena unbuttons Caroline shorts. Elena puts her hand outside Caroline's underwear and whispers into her ear, "I can feel how wet you are for me."

Caroline shudders and takes Elena pants off. She pulls her own off and throws Elena onto the bed. Caroline crawls on top of Elena, but Elena flips them over quickly.

Elena whispers into Caroline's ear, "You always take care of me first. Now I'm going to take care of you first."

Elena kisses down to Caroline's panties and takes them off with her teeth. Elena kisses up Caroline's inner thighs until she gets to her center. Elena sticks her tongue is, and Caroline shudders because of the wonderful feeling.

Elena pumps her tongue in and out. Caroline spills over Elena's face, and Elena licks the mess clean.

Caroline pins Elena down on the bed and says, "My turn."


Elena closes the trunk door and sighs. She says, "I had a really good time with you this weekend, Care."

Elena wraps her arms around Caroline's neck and brings her closer. Caroline smiles and grabs onto Elena's hips. Caroline says, "I also had a wonderful time this weekend."

Elena says, "I wish we could do this more often."

Caroline says, "Me too, but then people will get suspicious."

"I know, I just love being with you, though."

Caroline pulls Elena in for a quick kiss. She says, "We better get going."

Elena nods and they both get in the car. They hold hands on the drive back to town. Elena drops of Caroline at her house. Caroline gets out of the car after Elena promises to call her later tonight.

Elena watches as Caroline walks away from her and wonders how she very got so lucky.
