Stefan POV

"Excuse me, I have a boyfriend!" I watched as she turned around with her hand in air, ready to slap me probably.

And that's when I saw her face. She would probably look the same to anyone else but I could see the sadness deep in hr eyes. Her angered expression turned to taken aback look. Her hand dropped to her side and she gasped quietly, so quietly only a vampire could of heard it. I thought for a second she was going to faint.

When I her breathing returned back to normal, I decided to speak.

"Happy Birthday, Elena." I said, I was so nervous all I could do was smile.

…

Her lips, which were wide open, turned up into a huge smile and she jumped into my arms.

I hadn't realized I was holding my breath until I let out a huge sigh in relief. I had dreamed about this moment for two months, just to hold her in my arms and never letting go...

I love her so much.

Elena POV

I can't believe I am in his arms. I hadn't really realized how much I missed him until now. It feels like someone has just given me the missing part of my heart back. I feel so complete..

I love him so much.

Just as he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist, I hooked my legs around his waist, ignoring all the weird looks from people around us. I buried my head into his neck as I tightened my legs around his waist while he moved his hands down to support me better. I cannot believe he is really here. How is he here? Is he hurt? He doesn't seem hurt but you never know...

"Stefan, what, er how are you here? Are you hurt? I missed you so much." I whispered into his neck. Not willing to let go of him.

"I missed you too, that's why I am here. I love you, Elena." He answered, his head also buried in my neck.

"I love you too, Stefan. So much." I felt him smile into my hair. His grip on me suddenly tightened and I wondered why, I was about to ask him if he was hurt again since he didn't answer me the first time. Then I heard another voice.

"Stefan." That's why his grip had tightened on me. Damon. I felt him slowly trying to put my down but I only continued holding on to him.

"Please don't let me go" I murmured into his ear and felt him stop trying to put me down and he just held me close.

"Hello Damon." Stefan said in a very stern voice. I lifted my head up from Stefan's neck and saw a few people staring and whispering to each other. Then I turned around to glance at what Stefan could see, that's why everyone was staring at. Stefan was standing there carrying me with Damon in front of him giving him death stares. Oh and then there was Caroline (who seemed to have sobered up) and Bonnie behind Damon looking like they have seen a fricking ghost. This really doesn't look right. Suddenly Damon broke the deafening silence.

"Caroline get everyone out. Now" He said while never lifting his death stare off Stefan.

"Okay." She said. She knew not to mess with Damon right now. "Right everyone out, NOW!" Caroline screamed and five minutes later everyone had left expect me and Stefan who are in the same position, Damon still standing in front of us , Bonnie, Jeremy who was now stood next to her and Caroline who resumed her place on the other side of Bonnie.

"What are you doing back? You finally thought you would come back and whisk Elena off her feet? Well done little brother, you did. Now go." Damon spat venomously.

How dare he speak to Stefan like that! It was his fault he had to leave!

As I jumped out of Stefan's arms and stood in front of him, facing Damon, I felt Stefan wind his arms back around my waist from the back. I smiled lightly at his touch.

"Don't you dare speak to him like that! He saved your life and had to walk away form his life and home just so he could save you!" I pointed at Damon and felt Stefan arms pull me back a little. "And you know what? It wasn't worth it! I wished Stefan would have stayed here and let you die!" As soon as I said it I felt a little guilty but he needed to be shut up and that certainly did the job.

"Elena..." Stefan started whilst rubbing my stomach.

"Oh, no, Stefan please let her carry on if she wants." Damon said who then turned his gaze to look at me.

"Look this is not helping at all, lets just all go sit down and talk." Bonnie spoke up for the first time since Stefan came home.

Everyone agreed, including Damon, and we headed into the library. We all walked through the house that looked like it had been hit by a party bombshell, there was empty bottles scattered everywhere, birthday banners hanging off the walls and some drunken idiot had decided to attack the house with toilet roll. The house was a mess.

Once we entered the library Damon headed straight to get a drink while Stefan went and sat in the single seater chair and I sat on his lap, not wanting to be away from him. Caroline, Bonnie and Jeremy sat on the sofa and Damon just stood.

"So Stefan care to explain what you have been doing for two months while everyone has worrying and Elena has been depressed and nearly suicidal?" Damon asked downing his drink before going to pour himself another. Stefan glanced down at me in surprise at what Damon had said, I just nuzzled my head deeper into his chest- if that was even possible.

"Klaus has had me wiping whole towns just for the sake of it . He kept telling me to turn off my feelings and so I pretended to, and had to willingly kill people in front of him but all the while I felt so much guilt. But know I can control myself on human blood, before I left I was taking a little bit everyday, as you know, and that really helped." He looked and at me and smiled before continuing with his story, " And then tonight something happened and I raced home as fast as I could. I hoped that Elena would forgive me for leaving her and she did. And her I am." Stefan quickly explained, I could sense that he really didn't want to talk about Klaus right now.

"What do you mean 'something happened'? How did you get away then since Klaus is over 10x more powerful then you?" Damon asked. He was now standing by the Drink table, repeatedly topping up his glass.

Stefan POV

Of course Damon would want to know everything, I just didn't want to talk about what happen earlier tonight. But I guess I gotta tell them sooner or later. I continued to rub Elena's back slowly as I began to explain what went down this evening.

-FLASHBACK-

We have been drinking with these girls in The Frill n Faggot for at least an hour now, but it seems like its been forever. Lets just say they aren't the smartest of people and trying to start a conservation that doesn't involve make-up or the colour of their nails is very hard.

We are all sitting around a round table, (nearly the only table that isn't broken) me and Klaus sat next to eachother and the girls next to us. The one next to Klaus was dark skinned, red hair and quite pretty and the only next to me was blonde and had the brain size of a pea. Although I'm not particularly enjoying these girls company at the moment, I kinda feel sorry for them because they're probably gonna end up dead by the end of the night. Or maybe Klaus will decide that they can become are little "chew toys," either way they will end up dead soon enough.

The girl sat next to me, Sasha I think she said her name was, kept trying to place her hand on my thigh and I kept gently pushing it off. She looked at me weirdly and then got up and headed towards he toilets. While she was gone I looked over to Klaus who was flirting with this red head girl, they were sat so close she might as well have been sat on his lap.

Sasha walked out of the toilets and strolled over to the table. She took a swig of her drink and then put it back on the table.

"We should get out of here, you up for it?" Sasha asked, she was drunk but it looked like she was faking it a bit. But she didn't know how badly this was gonna turn out.

"Yeah come on Stef." Klaus stated, drunkenly.

"Okay." I hadn't been drinking, so I was sober but Klaus was quite drunk. The girls didn't seem so drunk but the blonde seemed a little tipsy.

We stepped out of the pub, Klaus was smiling slyly to himself. The girls were in front and turned to walk down a dark alley way. I didn't bother to ask them why, I just followed them.

Once we were quite fardown the alley the girls stopped and turn around to face us. They looked deadly serious and not drunk at all. I looked at Klaus who was just raising his eyebrows.

"Do you really thin we don't know what you are?" The red head spat.

"Enlighten me, what are we my dear?" Klaus laughed, sounding totally calm and polite while he slowly started stepping towards the girls.

"Your Vampires and we are witches" Blondie stated. Oh god, this is not going to end well.

"Witches, wow! Look, you can't kill me so we should just skip all this taunting and get to the part where I kill you." Klaus sneered. I looked over to the witches, they didn't look frightened at all.

"Oh, we know we can't kill you, because you're Klaus the only hybrid in the world!" Redhead snapped, "But we can do this!"

I watched as Klaus was suddenly raised into the air, screaming in pain. He closed his eyes and held his legs to his chest while crying out. He was then dropped hard onto the floor. His arms were being brought up behind his back and then then I heard the sharp breaking of his bones.

The wind started to whip around me and the lights from the lampposts in the street started to flicker and then everything went black. I couldn't see anything even with my vampire sight.

A few seconds later Klaus's piercing screeches drowned out and then stopped completely and all the street lights abruptly flashed back on.

I then saw Klaus laid on his stomach, not moving at all. Some of the concrete slaps had splashes of blood on and it looked like the scene was taken from a murder mystery programme. I then looked up the witches, they looked a little weak as they glared at Klaus's unmoving body. Then the gaze changed to stare at me.

"He isn't dead. But he is knocked out and probably won't wake up for at least 24hours." I nodded as the redhead stepped forward so she was standing right in front of me. If my heart could beat then I am sure it would be beating 1000 times a minute. She was as tall as me and had a tiny figure but I felt very intimated, she did just knock out the most powerful vampire in history.

"Now if I was you I would take my advise. Leave town and don't come back. You can take him if you want or you can leave him to wake up in the gutter I don't care as long you leave. Understand?" She instructed.

"Yes of course. Sorry for this, he isn't my friend." I said as I turned around and raced into the night, heading for Mystic Falls...

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Elena POV

I listened quietly to Stefan's story of how he ended up here tonight while rubbing his hand, for support. I knew he didn't wanna talk about it but now he has explained everything everyone can just forget it and we don't have to talk about it again. But knowing Damon he will never let Stefan live this down.

He finished his story and everyone was just staring at him in shock, but I just looked up at him with a warm smile on my face. I don't care what he has done or how he ended up here, I am just glad he is home.

"So, you're saying that Klaus isn't dead and will probably turn up here in the next 24 hours?" Damon questioned.

"Well..um" I could see Stefan didn't want to fight with Damon, he was tired and needed rest.

"Look, we can talk about it tomorrow. It's late and Stefan needs to rest" I said as I hoped off Stefan's lap and grabbed his hand and then headed upstairs.

We can deal with Klaus tomorrow, but I know everything will be okay because me and Stefan are together, side by side. Always.
