The drive home was dark and quiet, Stefan didn't talk until we got to my street where flashing police car lights
were colouring ever house in blue and red. Stefan pulled into our driveway behind my aunt's car and got out and
around the car to help me up the porch stairs. The door swung open and I was surrounded by my friends and
family's faces. Even though we were being surrounded, Stefan never let me go and I didn't mind, I liked having
his arms around me. But then I was being brought to the living room to be put on the couch, where Matt and
Jeremy were sitting. They lifted their faces and gasped; Jeremy got up and came to hug me tight. He whispered in
my ear: "Don't do that ever again, I was worried out of my mind and scared to lose you… like mom and dad." I
hugged him back and felt his tears roll off his cheek and on to mine. Jer pulled back and wiped his thumb across
my cheek and that's when I realised that I was crying too. I looked over my brother's shoulder to see Matt
standing up behind him. I pushed my brother away and Matt caught me before I could fall and we hugged and
cried for what seemed like hours. But then my legs were becoming weaker, and Matt could feel it, so I was laid
down on the couch. Worriedly, I looked around to find Stefan and couldn't find him, so I struggled to get up but
two pairs of arms pushed me back down. "Where is he? Where's Stefan?" I said weekly, Jeremy was kneeling
beside me when he said: "He's talking with Jenna, okay? I won't let him leave, if you want?" I nodded and Jeremy
got up and left, when I was surrounded by scared and worried faces. "Elena? Its Bonnie and Caroline, are you
okay? We've been worried sick." Said one of the girls, the one with brown hair. "Bon?" I asked and looked at the
other girl "Care?" they let out a big breath and said "Ya Elena, it's us!" They hugged me softly and Tyler, who was
standing in the back, said: "Hey Elena. Are you okay? What happened?" he looked to the door and back to me,
"And who's the guy who brought you here?" I closed my eyes, sighed and when I opened them Stefan was at
the side of the couch and asked: "Can you guys give us a minute, please?" Everyone nodded and left, everyone
but Tyler he was like my bodyguard, I nodded to him and he left. Stefan kneeled beside me and said: "You can't
tell them about what happened, okay? They won't understand. Just say you don't remember what happened." I
sighed, "Stefan, I don't even understand what happened so how could they?" I said, he gave me a look "okay!
Okay, not a word, I don't remember." He smiled and kissed my forehead "Thanks" he said then got up and
walked out of the room. "He kissed me!" I thought with joy, "I think I might…love him!" I put my fingers to my
forehead and realised he kissed my cut and it wasn't bleeding anymore. My friends walked in and Tyler was the
first one I saw, "Oh and to answer your questions. He is the man who saved me from…" I paused "from whatever
happened, and his name is Stefan Salvatore." I saw Care's eyes go big "Yes, Salvatore as in Damon…" I said, but
couldn't help myself from remembering what had happened earlier… Everyone was starting to go home but
Caroline and Bonnie stayed, they helped me up to my room and put me in bed, then they fell asleep on either
side of me and we slept until morning came.
