*Elena's Provo*
Once I got into Damon's room I went into my secret draw were I held things that meant the most to me. I pulled out Stefan's journal. I flipped to a random page. "May 23rd, 2009:I pulled a girl from a car accident today. And it was her, Katherine ,I thought. But no it wasn't. It was someone totally different.."
*Stefan's Provo*
I had just gotten out of the shower when I heard a knock at my bedroom door.
"Come in!" I had just pulled on a pair of boxers. To my surprise it was Elena. Happy that she had come seen me, but I hadn't looked up since she had entered. That is, until I heard the 3 words that killed me every time.
" Who are you?" She had anger, rage and frighten in her voice. Also frightened by what she had said, I replied,
" Elena, what are you talking about?" I was watching her every move, and then without warning she ran to my desk where my journal's lied. She was holding something behind her back. She pulled out my most resent journal. She set it next to a photo of her and I. Damn. I probably should have put that away with the rest of my Elena belongings. Now Elena grabbed the photo and stared at it. Emotionless, she turned towards me. I now saw tears rolling down her face. She said in the most faintest voice,
" Stefan?" Her voice was so weak, it made you weak. And then she put the picture down and ran out the door.
I could hear her running down the stairs, each step she took she grew weaker and weaker. Then she opened the front door and left. She got into her car and drove away. I hadn't chased her, and I'm not sure why. I was also surprised by her resent information. How could I let this happen? I had only been home for 4 days and everything was crashing down. I had to find her, that was for sure. But then I realized we never got to exchanging numbers. Damon had switched it once I left. Damon. This was all his fault. But now wasn't the time to blame Damon. I was going to go find Elena and tell her the true and nothing but that. It would be her choice by the end of the day if she believed it or not. And once she knows, at least I'll be able to move on or stay put. Not in between.
I knew exactly where she would go. As soul mates, I had it memorized by heart. That's what Elena and I were. Soul mates. Soul mates that had lost their way. But anyways, I put clothes on and got in the car. I began driving down the street until I hit my destination. I got out of the car and walked. I walked all the way to the back until I saw her leaning against the tombstone straight across from her mom and dad, and her mother and father. There is a difference. The cemetery is the one place, ironically, Elena called her safe spot. She sat there all alone with her own journal. Just like I had seen her do on the first day of school. I walked up slowly behind her and sat a tombstone away so I wasn't to close. I waited for her to speak. She had all the questions, and I had all the answers. It took her about 10 minutes for her to finally speak. And when she did, my heart broke in two.
" Why don't I remember any of this, Stefan?" The weakness in her voice crushed me. I could hear the tears on her face. All I wanted to do was grab her and hold her in my arms. But I couldn't.
" Damon, Elena. Damon took it all away." She looked at me in disbelief.
"You're lying!" My heart was stilling breaking.
"I'm not lying, Elena. He is." She gave me a disgusted look. But then it turned into a more sad face. We sat there for about 5 minutes before she spoke again.
"Is everything in your journal true? About how much you loved me, and saving me from my parent's car accident?"
" Yes."
" Then why would you let him do this to me, Stefan! Why would you let him take me from you so easily!" She was now standing in front of me as I sat on the ground. She was angry. So very angry. Did she honestly think that I had let her go that easily? Does she think that I honestly didn't care. I stood up now. Anger rushed through me. But the love anger.
" You think that I wanted him to take you? You think I let you go with open arms? Well I didn't. I would never. He took you because he wanted you. Because even though you loved me, he loved you. He took you because he could!" I was now shouting a bit. She just looked at me, still in disbelief.
" I didn't have a choice, Elena." I took a deep breath." I didn't have a choice."
" When did this happen? How long have I lived this…this…this lie?" It had been 3 months, 5 days and 3 hours since I lost Elena. I counted. I had a life time of it coming.
"3 months."
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"Because, you needed to know." We just stood there for about 5 minutes looking at each other. When she spoke, again.
"Did you really love me like you wrote in your journal?" All the anger washed away from her face. She looked deep into my eyes.
"I loved you so much." I grabbed her hand and she didn't pull away. I guided her to the tombstone she had been sitting at. I motioned her to sit down with me.
" I tried to leave. I tried so hard to stay away from you. But I couldn't. Not until I met you. But you already know that." I looked at her with a smile. She smiled back.
"But you never did." She was right. I never did.
" That's right. And even though, for 3 months you didn't know me, I still checked up on you." I took another huge breath." I knew Damon would keep you safe, and I knew you would be loved. At some points, I use to think that you were better off without me and with Damon. But I was never sure." It was true. Damon was good to her. He loved her and stayed with her. He never walked away. I had. Too many times but that's how I kept her safe. I'm my eyes, that was the only way how.
"So why did you come back now?"
"Because just the thought of 3 months without you, it killed me." She rested her head on my shoulder and we sat there for 20 minutes. The sun was setting.
"Stefan?" Her voice had caught me off guard.
"Yes?"
"What is going to happen now?"
"I don't know, Elena. I don't know." And It didn't matter. Because right there, I had her. Maybe it was because she was confused or she truly knew I was right. But for the time being she was mine. I had missed this. He head on my shoulder. I missed her. And I would sit here all night if I had too.
I liked this chapter a lot. Review for a quick update. And I'm sorry to say, but If I don't get that many more reviews I will be pulling this story. So let me know.
Thanks!
