So I'm starting to lose faith in this story. I haven't been getting many reviews. Its what keeps me going. So for the sixth chapter of this story Im going to need at least 3 reviews to continue so I know this story isn't a waste of time.

Stefan

I was walking over to Caroline's house to meet up with her. It was eleven fifty so it was close to them time we originally meet up at. I was hoping she would still hang out with me tonight after what happened after The Grill. I know it was really akward after our little embrace, but when she was standing there looking all pouty and sad I couldn't help but want to hold her.

She looked so cute and innocent with that face. By the time I realized what I was doing she was already out of my arms. I feel bad because Caroline didn't want everybody looking at us. I caused unwanted attention and probably caused more problems between her and Matt.

I know Matt was pissed about what happened because when I went to pay at the bar he gave me the dirtiest look. Matt and I haven't exactly been the best of friends but he was somebody normal I did hang out with during football or when I came to The Grill by myself.

I finally got to Caroline's house. It looked like nobody was home but I could tell Caroline was home.

I walked over to her bedroom window and jumped onto the roof. When I looked inside Caroline was asleep on her bed. "Thats weird. Shes usually awake waiting for me." I thought to myself.

Worry going through me I knocked on the window four times instead of two so she could hear me. She stirred in her sleep and looked at the window. I smiled and waved. She got up and opened the window.

"Stefan? What are you doing here?" She asked groggily rubbing her eyes. She had her hair in a ponytail and wearing a light powder blue pajama sweater and grey sweatpants. I realized she had no intention of meeting me tonight.

"Um we were supposed to hang out tonight like we do every night." I said

"Stefan look-"

"Caroline if its what happened at The Grill Im really sorry I can explain." I said cutting her off.

"What, no? This has nothing to do with what happened at The Grill. I just needed some time to think about something thats all. I was going to text to you to let you know I wasn't planning on meeting tonight but I was to caught up in my thinking." Caroline said.

"Are you okay Caroline?"

"Yea I'm fine. Just mentally exhausted."

"Well then how about we take a walk so you can clear your head." I said

"Stefan"

"Care please?" I begged, cutting her off again.

"Okay Im going to need you to stop cutting me off and quit begging your like a lost puppy." She said teasing me.

I laughed. "So Im a puppy to you now? Well this puppy is looking to go on a walk with his best friend."

She smiled. "Fine let me get my jacket and shoes on."

Caroline disappered into her room and came back a few seconds later with the black leather jacket from earlier and black and white nikes. She got onto the roof next to me and grabbed my hand. She closed her eyes and we jumped.

When we jump off her roof she always grabs my hand and closes her eyes. It was something she did when we first jumped off her roof together. Caroline was so scared so I told her to hold my hand and close her eyes, shes been doing it ever since.

"Okay were on ground floor." I said

She opened her eyes.

"Lead the way." I told her.

Caroline walked towards the woods. We walked side by side in silence for awhile. Its been a half hour and Caroline hasn't said anything which is pretty unusual. She seemed really deep in thought and she had a worried expression plastered on her face. The silence was killing me because I knew something was up.

I stopped walking and turned to Caroline.

"Okay Care whats up?"

"What do you mean?" She said turning to me. We were now face to face.

"You haven't said anything the whole time we've been out here and you have this worried expression on you face and maybe I'm wrong about this but I think your spending to much time with me because your starting to brood." I said trying to lighten her mood.

She cracked a small smile, but then it was back to serious."Its doesn't matter. Its nothing you need to worry about Stefan." Caroline said turning back to walk.

I followed her. "Caroline your somebody I need to worry about.

She stopped and stood there. I saw her lip tremble and tears fall from her eyes. I grabbed her and turned her toward me holding her hands.

"Care whats wrong?"

She sobbed a little.

"Im scared." She said

"Of what?"

"Of living life without you."

I stood still. I didn't understand what she was trying to say.

"Caroline what are talking about?"

She cried a little more.

"Your going to move on in life without me Stefan. Whos to say you and Elena won't end up back together again? Once it happens your going to be all happy with her and forget about me and I'll have to manage on my own. I mean I know I have to grow up sometime because theres that small possibility you may not be around forever but I don't think I can handle living my life as a vampire if your not in it. You will happily be traveling the world with Elena and I'll be alone feeling sorry for myself and I don't want that!

"Where is all this coming from Care?" I asked

She sniffed. "When I came home from The Grill I started thinking about Matt and our future, but then I realized we probably don't have a future. Then I started thinking about who I would have in my future sixty years from now when everybody I grew up with is old or dead. I only came up with you, Damon and Elena. I know Elena is apart of yours and Damon's future and I know it will always be about you three."

I pulled her into a hug. "Caroline I will never leave you I promise."

"Thats what also scares me." She said pulling away from enough for me to still hold her and look her in the face.

"You promised that you will never let anything happen to me and now your promising that you'll never leave me, those are too big of promises Stefan and I don't want you to regret them later. Hell if I hadn't been turned into a vampire you wouldn't have had to make those promises in the first place and I wouldn't be such a bother to you."

"Caroline your not a bother to me. Your important to me and I mean everything I promised you. I want you in my life and I'll be in yours every single day. It doesn't matter if Elena is in my future or not because you will always be apart of mine."

"Stefan would you have promised me everthing you said when I was human? I mean we never talked, we weren't even friends, whats so different now?" Caroline asked.

"The difference is Caroline is that I got to know you, the real you. I got to see the grown up side of you that does have feelings and worries about important things and not shallow things that everyone thinks you do. I got to see a cheerleader adjust to a new life she never wanted with dignity. I also saw this girl bring out a new side to me that hasn't been brought out in a long time. She takes me out of my comort zone to higher expectations. When I worry about her I worry about what crazy thing she'll say or do next to brighten my day instead of worrying about whos going to kill her next, another thing I haven't felt in a long time. I also saw that this girl does have feelings and needs someone to hold her and tell her its going to be okay. Its going to be okay Caroline."

She looked at me with tears in her eyes and hugged me again. I pulled her tighter into the hug, she held onto me just as tight. My head was on her shoulder and hers was on mine. I heard her sobs turn into small whimpers.

"Thank you Stefan." She whispered into my ear.

"Your welcome." I said moving away from her shoulder.

We were staring into each others eyes, green pouring into green neither looking away and I don't know how but I found the warmth of her lips on mine.

Reviews are love!
