Hey guys,

so I know it has been a while since the last time I posted a new chapter but I realized that I missed writing about Quinn & Stefan, so here is a new chapter. I hope you'll like it.

Chapter 2

Stefan's point of view

After my little encounter with Quinn I went back to the auditorium to take back my seat. As I walked near Elena & Damon's seats I could feel her eyes on me but I didn't turn around and went directly to my seat. Caroline was there waiting for the show to begin.

"Where have you been? The show is about to begin now."

"I just needed some fresh air. And I am here just on time, am I not?"

"Yeah."

She focused back on the stage. And I began thinking about that young lady I had just met, it is weird she is nothing like Elena, yet I can't seem to stop thinking about her. Quinn. I realized that I was now staring at Elena and that she was staring back. Even when realization hit me I didn't turned around and continue to look at her. Being mad at her made us both I realised that I wasn't angry anymore. I had been hurt but the anger was gone. Did it have something to do with Quinn? Would I be to forget about Elena if I have someone else? Probably. Just thinking about Quinn made me happy. I just.. I needed time, time to forgive Elena, to forgive them both. But I miss them somehow... She tried to wave at me but I ignored it probably because I was too proud to back down now that I had already ignored her once and turned back to face the stage. My mind drifted again to Quinn. Her eyes, her mouth and the way she laugh, made me crazy. Was it...No it couldn't be. It would be way too fast. I don't even know if she will remember me by the end of the night, or If I will even ever see her again. But god, I wanted to see her.

"Hey, what's with the smile?" I heard Caroline asked.

"What?"

"You are smiling. Why? It is weird." she said.

"Yeah right. Because smiling makes me weird. I had forgotten that, as a 164 years old vampire torn between his humanity and his ripper side, I didn't have the right to smile." I said ironically.

"That's not what I am saying Stefan. It is just you, it has been a while since the last time I saw you smile."

"Yeah I know. Don't worry. I just think that maybe it is time for me to stop being obsessed with Elena, to live my life like I want to. To enjoy it."

"Ok who are you ? And what did you do to my friend?" she said smiling.

"Caroline. I just feel good for once."

"Stefan, I don't know what has happened to you when you were out but I definitely can't recognize you right now."

"I just realized that even if Elena wasn't the one for me, there is someone else out there who still needs me to make her happy and who I need to be happy. She just doen't know it yet."

"You are not talking about me right?" she laughed.

"No. Even if I am sure we'd be happy." I laughed back.

"No stop it. Don't even make me think about that. Friends. We-are-friends." she stated.

"No. We are not."

"Excuse me?"

"We are best friends." I smiled at her.

"Yeah...We are."

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE GLEE CLUBS CONTEST ! PLEASE WELCOME OUR FIRST CONTESTANTS, THE WINNER OF THE NATIONALS LAST YEAR: THE NEW DIRECTIONS!"

As we heard the crowd cheering for this club we focus back on the stage. A few people began singing and dancing. They were quite amazing. One of them had an amazing voice which sent chills down my spine. As I focused back on the other faces I noticed a blond-haired girl with hazel eyes.

"Quinn..." I whispered.

There she was, on stage, dancing and singing with her friends. She looked happier than earlier.

As the show continued I couldn't keep my eyes off of Quinn. By the end of the evening the New Directions had won and were now selected for the next step. As I wanted to wait for Quinn cause I wanted to talk to her Caroline took me out.

"That was quite an amazing show, wasn't it?" Damon was now in front of us with Elena just next to our car.

"Yes it was." Caroline said.

"So what are you guys going to do now? Heading home?"

"No. I thought we could go party a little bit, right Stefan?"

"Yeah why not? It is not like we had anything better." I said looking at Caroline.

"Wow. You are full of enthoutiasm." she said ironically.

"Ok what about : "Great, I can't wait to party with you all night!" Is that better?" I asked

"Much better." We both laughed hard. I could feel Elena's gaze on me but this time I decided to look at her, still wearing a right smile. She wasn't expecting me to look at her so her eyes fell instantly to the floor.

"How about we all go together?" Damon asked.

"What?" Caroline and Elena both exclamed.

"Yeah it would be fun. The more the merrier remember?" he pointed.

"I don't think-" Caroline began.

"Yeah. Why not?" I interrupted looking at Damon.

"Seriously?" I said his face full of surprise.

"Yeah. It sounds good to me." I said.

"Okay. Then let's go before you change your mind." he said.

"Alright."

"Wait a second. Didn't you have a jacket?" I asked noticing Caroline's bare shoulders.

"Damn, I must have forgotten it inside." she pointed.

"Stay here. I'll go get it. Don't leave without me guys!"

"There is no way i'll leave you again Stefan." Damon said.

I heard him but didn't turn around. I continued running to the inside of the school.

Fortunately, I quickly found Caroline's jacket and head back to the parking lot but I bumped into someone making her fall to the floor.

"Ouch..." I heard.

"I am sorry. Are you okay?" I said while helping her getting up.

"I am."

"Quinn?" I realised as she faced me.

"Stefan."

"Wow it seems like this hallway really want to unite us." I said.

"Yeah. It seems like" she repeated.

"By the way, Congrats for the win. You were amazing."

"The others were amazing."

"I don't know?"

"But..You just said that they were."

"Oh no. I was talking about you. I didn't really look at the others."

"Thank you." she said bluhing. " It is good to know that you can't keep your eyes off of me."

"I didn't say that. I just said that I didn't look at your friends, that doesn't mean I wasn't looking at my phone, texting people you know."

"Right..You know I would believe you if I hadn't noticed you staring at me for 2 hours."

"Oops. I think I just got caught."

"I would keep the secret don't worry." she laughed.

After a few seconds of silence, I talked again.

"So, what are you still doing in my town? I thought you would already be gone by now."

"Well I was looking for my friends so that we would take the bus back to Lima."

"You mean the bus which has NEW DIRECTIONS written in capital letters on int?"

"Yeah that is my bus."

"Well, it has just left the park 5 minutes ago."

"What?!"

"Yeah I saw it leave..with your friends inside."

"No they can't have left me. I have to find a cellphone to call them."

"Here take mine." I handed her my phone.

"Thanks."

"Look while you are on the phone I have to go get that to my friend." I said pointing at Caroline's jacket. "She is in front of the school. Stay here I come back as fast as I can."

I ran as fast as I could to the park lot where our cars were and noticed they were still here.

"What took you so long?" Damon asked.

"Nothing." I lied.

" I am lucky I am a vampire otherwise I'd already be dead of coldness."

"Sorry. Here." I gave her the jacket.

"Come on. Let's go."

"Actually I can't come with you. Something has come up."

"Oh come on Stefan! What could be more important than a party?!" Damon said.

A voice appeared behind us coming from the front door.

"Stefan you were right! They...left." as she noticed I wasn't alone she quickly apologized. "Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt."

"Who is that?" Elena has finally spoken up.

"That's Quinn."

"She is the reason you are not coming ?"

"Yes Elena. She needs me right now. So you three all go partying. I will come with you next time."

"But..."

"There is no but Caroline. Just go."

I turned around and went back inside the building with Quinn.

"You know you don't have to stay with me right?" she said.

" I know. I just want to." I answered.

She smiled at me.

"So what did your friends tell you?"

"They said that the school couldn't send the bus back and that nobody could come and get me. So I am just going to have to find a hotel to stay at tonight and they will come get me tomorrow."

"Ok" I laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" she asked.

"You know there is no hotel in mystic falls right?"

"What?! Then where in hell am I going to stay tonight?!"

"You can stay at my place if you want to."

"What?"

"Yeah. I own a mansion not far away from here. So you can stay there. There are many rooms. I swear you won't have to stay in mine...except if you want to."

"Are you sure that doesn't bother you?"

"What? To have you sleeping in my room? That wouldn't bother anybody."

"Stefan, seriously."

"Come on you are staying with me tonight."

I handed her my hand which she gladly took. Her touch sent chills down my spine. And I felt good. We began heading to the Salvatore mansion, holding hands.
