Chapter 7
Elijah's POV
I couldn't recollect the last time I laughed so much. Elena was just so full of life. Even after all that happened she fought back and is now living her life on her own terms. I liked that about her. Confident, independent, caring, loving... I could just go on and on. I never felt this way for anyone before, let alone a girl. But there was something about her that pulled me towards her. Her smile, her brown eyes, her silky brown hair, her bubbly personality... I just wonder why I never met a person her like her before. She was all that I wanted to be before I turned. And now being close to her, I feel a feeling I never felt before- caring and possibly -love.
It was my daily habit to check on Elena once in a while when things were not-so-good and I continue to do that. Even today, I quickly got ready and went to her house. I sat on the tree facing her window and watched her get ready. She looked like in a dilemma on what to wear. Honestly, I find her beautiful even if she's just in her jeans, a tank top and converse. I heard her mumbling and throwing her clothes here and there until she finally picked up a dress and ran to the bathroom. When she came out, I couldn't help but stare. There she stood in all glory, in a cute and small black dress with a little blush, pink lipstick and small heels. I was lost in her beauty until Alaric started screaming from the kitchen "Elena, are you ready? I'm going to start the car."
"Yeah, I'm coming." And in a flash she ran down the stairs and out of the house.
