I put my phone away and ran after her out the door while Jenna was distracted with Logan. I got on my bike and followed distantly behind her car. She parked in front of the Salvatore boarding house. I hid with my bike in some bushes. I saw Elena go up to the door. Stefan answered looking shaken up and holding... is that a stick?
I tilt my head in confusion, but stay quiet and listen to their conversation. "What are you?" Elena asks. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Stefan stands there speechless. Elena repeated herself louder. "What are you?!"
Stefan looked like he had tears in his eyes. "You know." Know what?
"No, I don't." Elena said shakily.
"Yes you do." Stefan said. "Or you wouldn't be here."
Elena shook her head. "It's not possible. It can't be."
Stefan puts down the stick. "Everything you know, and every belief that you have is about to change." Stefan says carefully. "Are you ready for that?" Oh my god, just say it already! I'm dying of curiosity over here!
Elena just repeats herself again. "What. Are. You."
There was a long pause. "I'm a vampire."
Hold on, WHAT?! Nope. Not happening. It's probably some practical joke because Elena found out I followed her. I'm not just gonna blow my cover though. I wanna see how far they take this... "I shouldn't have come."
"No, please." Stefan steps outside.
Elena steps back. "No... no!" Damn, somebody get these guys an Oscar. Elena runs away from the door and then... and then Stefan somehow is in front of her again... So... I'm not sure if this is actually fake. Cause that doesn't just happen. "How did you do that?"
"Please don't be afraid of me." Stefan says. But like, dude... you're a little late for that. I know I seem like I'm just shrugging this kinda thing off, but in reality, my heart is basically pounding in my chest and my breathing is uneven.
"Let me go." Elena says.
"Elena, there's things that you have to know and understand." He steps forward putting a gentle hand one her arm.
"Let me GO!" Elena struggles and finally gets out of his grip. Well this is taking a turn. I might just have to get out of these bushes and kill an undead bitch. Once again, I know I seem nonchalant, but my insides are doing cartwheels right now.
"Elena please!" He calls after her as she runs back to her car. Holy shit... okay that happened. What do I do now? I go home and I- I just pretend it didn't happen? I wait until Stefan goes back inside, then I get on my bike and ride home.
Once I get back I text Charlie.
"If anyone asks, I was just at the shed with you, got it?"
"Sure thing. Fill me in at school?"
"Yep."
I walk through the door. Thankfully no one noticed I was gone. I walked upstairs and saw Elena in the bathroom. She went to check on Jeremy so I took that as my cue to go to my room and act like I've been there the whole time. I take my shoes off and lie on my bed, pretending to be texting. Elena knocks on my door. "Come in."
"Hey." Elena said. "You okay?"
"Yeah. You?"
"Yeah." She looks at me weirdly. "You've got a leaf in your hair..."
I frantically pull it out. "Oh, I was just... um at the shed! I forgot something there last week so... yeah."
"Okay..." she left my room.
