Previously on I've Been Roaming Around:
With their vampire speed, they were quickly in Caroline's room. Starting to discard the clothing that they had just put on merely moments ago. Suddenly Caroline pulled away, coming to her senses. She didn't want them to do something that they would later regret.
"We should stop." She said, slightly out of breath. "When-if we do this." She motioned between them. "I want it to mean something, for both of us. I want to know that you are completely over Elena."
Stefan nodded. "I am, Caroline."
She shook her head, unconvinced. "No, you're not."
Stefan moved off of her and left the room. Caroline sighed as she ran a hand over her face and through her hair. He was angry. She walked out and into the living room where she saw him sitting on the couch.
"I always have the guest room ready, just in case-" She stopped herself. "You can sleep in there."
... {live}...
Stefan woke up that morning to the smell of coffee and eggs. He got up and exited the guest room, running a hand through his hair. He walked over to the counter, scratching his chest. He noticed Caroline standing in the kitchen, facing the window.
He cleared his throat. "Uh-good morning Caroline."
She didn't turn towards him or answer him.
Stefan furrowed his brows. "Caroline?"
She turned towards him then, her eyes red and puffy, and her face tear stained.
Stefan was stricken with worry, his serious vampire look coming onto his features. "What's wrong?"
Caroline sniffled. "It's Elena."
"What happened? Is she alright?"
He didn't need to ask because he already knew the answer. He could tell by the way Caroline's presence was. He just needed to hear it out loud.
"She's dead Stefan. Elena's dead."
Tears started to fall down her cheeks again as she tried to hold back a sob. Stefan's jaw clenched and he turned and walked toward the door.
"Stefan." Caroline called after him as she started towards him.
But he ignored her and stormed out. Caroline turned and leaned against the door, she slid down to the ground and held her knees to her chest and let the sobs escape her.
... {love}...
She was seated in bed, waiting for him to come home. She heard the sound of the front door open, and his light footsteps soon following. He was trying to be quiet, trying not to wake her, even though she is already awake. She heard the sound of him walking into the couch and she heard him swear under his breath. She glanced at the clock, half past two in the morning. She sighed and lay down on her pillows and closed her eyes. Ignoring the footsteps walking past her room and she finally falls asleep after staying up and worrying about him. She was tired of him always coming back late now, after drinking at the bar. She knew he was upset but so was she. He wasn't the only one who lost someone he cared deeply for. She lost one of her best friends, someone she had known since preschool. Someone who was like a sister to her. It had been three days since they found out about Elena, and Caroline hadn't minded Stefan staying with her. She liked his company, but he needed help, she needed to help him.
