AN: Chapter 12 arrives! TVD last night = EPIC AWESOMENESS. XD
If the moon had to run away,
And all the stars didn't wanna play,
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away.
When the days all seem the same,
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain,
Everything will be okay,
We will meet again one day.
DPOV.
I woke up to yelling coming from upstairs. I must have fallen asleep on the couch.
"Daddy, daddy" I hear Alex yelling.
I climb off the couch and run up the stairs. Alex runs into me.
"Alex what's wrong? What's going on?" I ask. He hides behind my leg, giggling.
"She's gonna get me. Save me, save me."
"Who's going to get you?" I ask nervously. He points and I see Elena run around the corner and start towards us, a smirk on her face.
"We have to hide" Alex says, jumping up and down beside me. I smile and put Alex on my back running down the opposite hallway.
"Run daddy, run" Alex yells. "She's gonna get us. Faster daddy, faster."
I open one of the guest rooms and run in, closing the door behind us. I put Alex down and point to under the bed, he nods and goes to climb under it. I squeeze underneath beside him, he starts giggling and I put my hand over his mouth which makes me laugh. He hurries and puts his hand over my mouth. Then we see the door open. We both fall silent. The footsteps circle around the bed over and over.
"Hmm they aren't in here" Elena sighs, climbing on top of the bed.
"I guess that means I can do this" She says, jumping up and down.
Alex starts giggling again and covers his mouth quickly with both hands. Elena then jumps down onto the floor and sticks her head under the bed in front of us.
"BOO" She yells causing Alex to scream. He throws his head up, forgetting the metal bars of the bed above him. He falls flat.
"Alex" I yell climbing out and then pulling him out.
"There's blood coming from the top of his head, Elena." I tell her.
"Oh god. We need to get him to the hospital." She says. I nod and pick him up, carrying him to the car. He wakes up while I carry him through the entrance to the E.R.
"Daddy? I thought we were playing." He says, looking around.
"You hit your head little man, we just need the doctors to take a look at it." A nurse comes and takes him into her arms, walking away. I start to follow but another nurse stops me.
"You'll have to wait out here Sir."
"But that's my son, damn it."
"He'll be out soon enough." She says, turning and walking away.
I stand in the waiting room, pacing, for an hour. Finally Alex walks out holding a doctor's hand, a white bandage wrapped around his head.
"Alex" I sigh and Elena takes him into her arms.
"What happened?" I ask the doctor.
"He busted the top of his head. Nothing severe, we just gave him three stitches and wrapped it up. He should be fine, just make sure he doesn't get the stitches wet for a couple days."
"Thank you" I say and stick my hand out to him. He shakes it and walks back into the E.R.
I walk over to Alex and Elena and hug them both.
"Lets go home please" I tell them. I lean down to kiss Elena, Alex groans and turns his head away. Elena and I smile and the three of us walk back out to the car.
The next day Elena is out with Jenna, shopping no doubt. I had been watching the news for twenty minutes when I noticed I couldn't hear Alex anymore.
"Alex?" I yell up the stairs and getting no response. I climb them and walk the halls. I check his room, my room, and his playroom but he's no where to be found.
"Alex?" I yell again. I decide to check to opposite side of the boarding house. I get to the final door and hesitate. Stefan's room. I take a deep breath and open the door. I sigh when I see Alex, sitting on Stefan's old couch, messing with his guitar from the 80's. He looks up when I walk over to him, sitting the guitar down and looking like he did something wrong.
"What are you doing in here Alex?" I ask, sitting down on the other end of the couch.
"I don't know. I was just walking around and I saw the door. It felt like my room so I came inside." He says nervously.
"Well your mom wouldn't like you being in here. This room was my brother's." I tell him.
"Oh, I won't come in here anymore then. Sorry daddy." He says, standing up and leaning the guitar back against the dresser.
"No it's ok Alex. I used to come and sit in here a lot when you were a baby. It helped me think." I tell him. He walks around the room, running his hands over everything he passes. He stops in front of a big dresser, opening the doors to find the shelves full of books. Stefan's journals. He pulls out one labeled 1891.
"Will you read it to me, daddy?" He asks, going to sit in the middle of Stefan's bed.
"Yea sure buddy." I say, going to lie next to him. I read him the story of a vampire and their life. He loves every second of it. Halfway through he falls asleep. I stand up and lay the journal down beside him, walking out and closing the door.
