Chapter two.
Elena's POV.
"Why are you here ?" I ask Klaus when we sit on the table with a mug of coffee. "I'm here Because my wife best friend needs me sweetie"
"Stefan knows you're here ?" I ask quietly.
"Of course not Elena ! Care told me that you was devastated when you call her, she wanted to come but Em is sick so I'm here to talk to you if you want to." he told me truthfully and wipe my tears away.
"I miss him like hell, Klaus. Why it hurts so much ?" I smile sadly and hug him.
"Because you love him, it's as simple as that-" I cut him "But I don't want to love him, he is going to marry that bitch Katherine.." I cry because I'm jealous of her, I want to be in her place.
"Elena, you don't understand it's not a choice to love or not. He is not happy with Katherine, he thinks he is but he is not.. How's Ella ?"
"She is fine, I think but she asks a lot of question about Stefan and I can't answer her. She looks so much like Stefan. Every time I look at her, I see him they are the same green eyes.."
"You never told me why you left ? It's been three years and I still do not understand." he asks me but I can't answer him.
"I can't tell you Klaus, just like I can't tell anyone except Stefan. But he hates me and I understand why, our daughter doesn't know her father because of me, because of a choice I made and I will never forgive myself for what I did. But someone threatened me to leave the love of my life and I did because of her, my beautiful and amazing daughter."
"Who forced you to leave Stefan ?" he asks me exasperated and he raises his voice that wakes Ella. "Stop that Klaus, you will wake up Ella"
"Uncle Nik !" Ella screams when she saw him in the kitchen and runs towards him who open his arms to hugs her.
"Hey beautiful girl !" he told her and kiss her hair.
"Mama, I'm tired" she told me and sit on my laps. "Come go to bed baby. Say good bye to Uncle Nik"
"Bye Uncle Nik. I missed you, do you know my Dada ?" she always asks him that and my heart aches every time.
"Yeah sweetie I know him and you will know him soon" he swears to her.
I lie Ella in bed, kiss her hair and I'm about to leave the room when Ella asks me if it's right that she will see her Dada soon. "No sweetheart, not yet. Sleep well, bye my baby girl.."
"How dare you to tell my daughter that she will see her father soon while she doesn't see him !" I yell to Klaus when I return to the kitchen.
"You have to tell him, Elena ! I can't pretend anymore, that I don't know where you are. Even-" I cut him off.
"I don't care that you think Klaus, you don't know what I've lived ! And he is better without me, even if it's killing me to not be with him !"
"It's become dangerous for you and for her since he saw you today. You have to tell him before someone else to do it for you.." I know he is right but I can't tell him.
"Just leave please. Kiss the girls for me. I need some time alone, thank you for dropping by.."
"Sorry that I pissed you off Lena but someone had to tell you and I know that Care would never do this. Reflected on what I said and talk to me if you need anything.."
"I'm sorry too, I know that you just wanna help me. When it's comes to Ella I become angry.."
"Bye Klaus. See you soon." he kiss my cheek and close the door behind him.
I find myself in my bedroom and crying with a photo in my hands. It's been a rough day, this whole thing with Stefan. When I see him, my heart began to beat faster. Why he affects me so much after three years ? Why I love him so much ? I should not love him like that.. After it's feel like a eternity I fall asleep with Stefan's shirt in my hands. I stole it before leaving him just to remember him.
Klaus's POV.
I go home and I go to Emily's room, kissing her hair. I watch my beautiful daughter sleeping, she is so peaceful. I hear Caroline arrives towards the door, she wraps her arms around my chest and kissing the back of my neck. "Hey my love"
"She is so beautiful when she sleeps" she told me and I smile "Just like her mother" I grin at her.
"I would say more like her father" I turn around and kiss her lips.
"Humm, how was Elena ?" Caroline asks me when we are in our bed together, cuddling next to each other.
"Not good. I told her to tell Stefan about Ella"
"You said what ?" she asks me angrily and move away from me. "I told you to not tell her that and of course you did the opposite !"
"But my love, she needs to tell him. It's killing her to live without him, she is your best friend but Stefan is mine and he can't marry Katherine !"
"Of course she needs to tell him, I already told her a million times. You don't know what you are talking about and neither do I. You do not have the right to do what you do, Nik it's not fair to her. She never told me why she left without telling Stefan that she was pregnant. I don't judge her, she suffers a lot by her choice and I don't push her to telling me why, she will do when she'll be ready.."
"I don't understand why she doesn't told you, you're her best friend."
"She told me something about Katherine but I don't know exactly what she did for Elena leaves Stefan.. But she doesn't want to tell me but knowing Katherine it must be something horrible."
"Ok love. Maybe I can discover something about that-" I begin but Caroline continues "Don't you dare to do something about that Klaus !" She never calls me Klaus except when she is angry and now she is because I attack her best friend.
"Love, I have the means to help her.." I explain "No, Nik it must come from her and only her ! What would you say if I took care of your family problems with Kol and Finn ?"
"It's not the same thing Care ! It's my family !" I exclaim "Of course it's the same thing Nik, leave her with her problems and take care of yours ! I sleep on the couch !"
"I will do nothing but you sleep here with me" I smirk and catch her wrist before she leaves the bed. "Klaus leave me alone" I pull her toward me and roll over her.
"Not a chance ! I will miss my wife and I know one or two thing that I know she loves so much" I murmur and move my hands down her body.
"Nik, stop" she tries to pull away from me but I begin to kiss her neck and she moans. "I'm still mad at you" she groans.
"I know love but I can make you feel better.." I whisper in ear and make love to my beautiful wife.
"Bye my love" I kiss Caroline and I get into my car and go to work. I just arrived and my phone rings. I see Stefan's number and I hesitate to answer because I know that he must be pissed off, I lie to him.
"Hello" I respond
"Klaus tell me that you didn't know that Elena lives in the same city as you !" he screams at me and I have to remove the phone from my ear.
"I knew" I say simply.
"What ? You kidding me, right ?" he screams again. "No, I knew Stefan I'm sorry"
"Why you didn't tell me ? You're my best friend, WTF Klaus !"
"I know but you have to understand that I promise her to not telling you"
"Why she leaves me ? Why she disappeared ?" he asks, I feel he is calmed down.
"I don't know, she never told me"
"Stop lying to me Klaus ! Tell me why she leaves me !"
"I swear Stefan ! Even Caroline doesn't know why she left !" I scream because I feel helpless.
"I come to LA today-" Stefan begins "No, you don't Stefan. She is not ready to see you and-"
"I don't care if she is ready or not ! Wait I have to talk to Taylor" Stefan told me and I can hear Stefan talking to Taylor his security chief. "No, Taylor I have to go... prepares my jet.. I will call Katherine myself.. Thank you"
"Sorry Klaus. I arrive in LA soon. Doesn't prevent Elena that I'm coming. I want to be a surprise-"
"I don't give you her number or where she works because Care will kill me if I betray her"
"It does not disturb you to betray me when your wife told you not to say to me that Elena was fine and safe !"
"She has good reasons to do what she did ! And speaking of betray, you're going to get married with a woman who cheated on you !" I yell at him.
"You don't know anything about Katherine and I ! Stop talking about that, I will see you in few hours" he hangs up before I reply.
I know that Caroline will reap my head out when she will understand that Stefan is coming. I should call her but he is my best friend, and I don't know what to do. If I toll her, she will tell Elena but if I don't told her, she will think that I betray her and I don't want to. Elena is my friend and Stefan my best friend but I see Elena almost every week and I know that she suffers a lot about the decision she made years ago but I know Stefan since childhood.
Elena's POV.
It's 3 PM and I have not touched the ground since Liv give me a lot of work. Care had a call from Klaus but she is weird around me because of that. "What's going on Care ? You avoid me since Nik call you.."
"Sorry, Lena but yes.. He told me something and I don't know if I have to tell you or not.."
"You scare me Care, something happened ?" I ask anxious.
"He comes" she says "Who is coming ?" I ask even if I already know the answer it's Stefan.
"No, he can't come ! I don't want to see him, I … I can't see him Care" I breathe heavily, I feel tears in my eyes.
"I'm so sorry ! He calls Nik this morning to told him that he is coming to see you"
"I … I can't breathe" Caroline is by my side 10 seconds later and tell me to take deep breath, but I can't my Stefan is coming to see me.
But he is not my Stefan anymore and he can't see Ella. "E.. Ellaa-" I choke out in my sob.
"I will bring her with Em to your house so he can't see a picture of both of you You don't have to worry about her. You will come to pick her when you're ready.." she reassures me.
"Thank you Care, I don't know what I would do without you.." She smiles and wipe my tears away.
"Stop crying, your prince charming will come soon.."
I'm at Caroline's house cooking something to forget that I will see Stefan in a few minutes. I'm worried, how he will react when he will sees me here ? Has he changed ? I jump when I hear the ringing of the door. I move toward the door with shaking hands. I take a deep breathe and open the door with tears in my eyes.
When he sees me, I see in his eyes the hurt and betray and the pick of stomach grows. I open my mouth but no word leaves my mouth. My mouth is dry, I sweat and I'm scared not of him but of myself. When I'm with him weak and I can feel the electric atmosphere among us. It's like something push us toward each other. When he sees that I can't talk he begins "Klaus told you that I'm coming. Nice"
"Come in. It's not Nik but Care."
He sit on the bar and watch me finish dinner, just like before..
I wake up next to the love of my life. He is still sleeping, he is beautiful, sometimes I don't believe that he's mine and only mine. I'm hungry so I decide to go cooking, I kiss his lips softly. I put Stefan's shirt and leave the room.
I feel Stefan's presence behind me. "Babe what are you doing ?" Stefan asks me, wraps his arms around me and kiss my neck.
"I'm cooking but it's difficult when you do what you do" I tell him but he put my hair on the side and kiss my neck again with wet kisses. I lay my head on his shoulder and move his hands under my t-shirt.
"You can let Anna do cooking, it's her job" Stefan says to me and I turned so I'm in front of him. "I know but I love cooking and it's Anna day off today.."
"I can call her to come if you want, Babe" Stefan proposes to me. "No, but thank you. I love when you want me all for yourself"
"Of course I want you all for myself, your mine and only mine" he explains to kiss my lips before I can reply.
"Stefan, it will burn if you don't stop.." I try to tell him and I push me against the counter.
"Maybe, I don't want to stop.. I just want you.." He says and closes the fire of the stove.
I get out of my trance when I feel Stefan's hands on my shoulders. "You Ok ?" he asks me with worried eyes.
"Yeah, sorry I was lost in my thoughts" I whisper because he is so close to me, too close that I can feel in breathe near my lips and I only want him to kiss me but it's not right and I know it. So I move away from him.
I take a deep breathe and look at him "What do you want Stefan ?" I ask.
"It's funny that you ask the question, you really have no idea what I want ?! I've been looking for you for two years when you left me with nothing !" he screams at me
"I know Stefan, I'm sorry-" I try to explain. "Don't you dare to say that you're sorry ! You break my heart !" he explodes and locks his eyes with mine and all I see is pure anger and hurt.
"And this decision destroy me ! You think that you're the only one who suffer, right Stefan ? You think that you're the only one who cry when I left you, huh ?" I scream at him.
"So why did you left me ? Why ? I just want to understand your decision !"
"Because I was forced to leave you ! But why do you care you're going to marry Katherine ?!" I yell and I know that I was out of the line when I meet his eyes.
"Don't you dare talking about her ! She has nothing to do in there, it's between you and me, not her !"
"You really think that I left for pleasure ? So you can go back to this bitch because she always wanted me to go to get back to you and your money but you see nothing about that !"
"Why did you left then ? You know nothing about my relationship with Katherine !"
"I can't tell you, I have someone to protect and it's all you need to know !" I cry when I think of our daughter, that she may be will never know her father.
"Don't cry please" he says to me and slowly approaches me but I throw him a glance but stop.
"Stop please ! I don't have the strength to push you. Why are you here Stefan ?"
"I wanted to see you, talk to you because I missed you like hell. Our apartment is empty without you.. Every corner of the apartment I see only you and-"he explains
He spoke to the past, so he doesn't miss me now and it's hurt. "Don't this is wrong ! It was your apartment then our apartment but you live with her in and she sleeps with you in our bed, you make love to her, you eat with her. I'm happy for you that you're found someone and that you're happy.."
"I always see this apartment that ours and you know it ! Stop fucking lying to me I know that you hate Katherine this is not new-"
"But you never understand why I hate her and one day you'll figure it out. And I wish you can forgive me for what I did to us"
"Explain me why you hate her so much, what did she do to you ?!" I'm against the kitchen wall and Stefan is in front of me a few steps from me.
"I can't tell you ! What word you do not understand ?"
"I don't care that you can't tell me ! I want to know right know and you're going to tell me-"
"Don't forced me. It has to come from her, not me." Stefan come to sit on the table and I see a picture of Caroline, Nik, Emily, Ella and me in the park, lay down on the convenient. He follow my eyes and look at the picture. my heart beats faster and faster when he approaches it. He looks at her and smile when I think he looks at Em she has grown so much just like Ella. And his eyes lay down on our daughter and I'm scared from his reaction, I did not want him to see her like that.
"Who is this little girl on your laps ?" he asks me but I know he already know the answer. I don't answer, I can't. "Who is she ?" he raises his voice and I jump.
"It's.. It's our daughter.." I whisper and surround my arms around me to protect me.
"What are you talking about ?!" he asks angrily.
I take a deep breathe, "It's our daughter Stefan" I say calmly and a big weight leave my shoulders.
