Alone

Chapter: 3

Elena's POV:

"Stefan, come back, we can work this out together." I ran outside after him but he was already gone. I fell to my knees on the grass and let the tears I've been holding back fall.

I sat there for five minutes crying until I felt an arm around my shoulder, I was hoping it was Stefan. I turned my head to see two crystal blue eyes looking back at me, it was Damon. "Come inside or you'll catch a cold." He said helping me up.

I followed him inside and made my way upstairs but not to Stefan's and my room but, to the guest room across the hall and lay on the soft bed in the middle of the room until I fell asleep.

Stefan's POV:

I ran to Philadelphia, and now I am sitting in a dinghy little apartment like a school boy. I deserve it after leaving.

I didn't tell Elena the whole truth of why I left. I do think she is spending to much time with my brother and I think he can't be trust but, that's not all of it, when we were at the theatre, I ran into another vampire who said he would kill Elena if I didn't leave. I had to leave to keep her safe. I had to put all my faith in my untrustworthy brother. That thought made me shutter.

Elena's POV:

"Elena, Elena!" Someone was shaking me.

"Oh my God, Damon." I sat up right breathing hard.

"Why were you screaming?"

"Nightmare."

"Care to share?"

"Not right now." I answered lying back down on the bed.

"Okay, later then." He said turning to leave.

"Damon, please don't go." I could see the confusion in his eyes by the moonlight that was streaming through the window. He slowly walked back towards the bed and laid down beside me. "Good night Damon." I said quietly. He turned and put an arm around my waist. I laid there for a second until I fell into a dreamless sleep.

Stefan's POV:

I laid there in bed studying the patterns on the ceiling, not able to sleep a wink. I'm worried about Elena. I did what the psychotic vampire asked but, what if he still kills her? Maybe I should call her and check on her. No, that's going to hurt her and me even more, I can't do that.

After laying there for hours worrying about her and debating whether or not I should call her I finally fell asleep, tears in my eyes. I love her, I hope she will forgive me for leaving when I return, whenever that is.

A/N: Some of you were wondering about Delena so I added this scene.

About the psychotic vampire Stefan was talking about, you will here more about him later.

Hope the chapter was good.
