Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

Getting Protection

~Stefan~
Damon, Elena and I are all hanging out in the living room trying to get Elena's mind off her sister. My understanding was that her sister is in an abusive relationship and she was trying to help her now she took off, Elena's scared. So Damon took her to The Grill and then here which has seemed to take her mind off of things I think.

Out of nowhere, Damon and I both smell massive amounts of blood at the same time. Not animal blood, human blood. Then, there's pounding at the front door, so we just act like nothing is bothering us while we drink blood in a glass. Elena doesn't know about it because we didn't want to worry her.

"Coming! Coming!" I hear heavy breathing and speed over to the door. When I open it the person stumbles into my arms and says, "Help me" Elena walks up to the door, and says, "Maya?" "You know her?" "That's my sister" "Elena, you gotta help me"

Her eyes get wide and she looks behind her. "Please! He's gonna... He's gonna kill me, please" "Stefan, please" "Yeah, yeah absolutely" Elena and I were trying to help her in when she goes limp. "Maya?!" "Don't worry, she's breathing, she just finally felt comfortable enough to pass out I guess" "Yeah"

~Maya~
The last thing I remember was banging on the door and hearing someone yell that they coming. Everything after that is a blur, I want to go home so badly. To be with Elena and Jeremy and Aunt Jenna. I feel horrible for yelling at Elena, I should've listened to her. It was all my fault, he never loved me, I think deep down I knew that.

But, I just want someone to love me. I want what Elena, Jeremy and Aunt Jenna have. I thought I had that, but no, I never did; guess I never will either. My luck with guys is literally the last worst! The ones I choose cheat on me, abuse me, never talk to me, all sorts of stuff, I've just... I don't know, I think now, I'm giving up. Nobody is ever gonna love me and treat me with the love and respect I need.

When I'm at least a little conscious, I hear voices. Muffled voices but there's some voices there. "Do you think she'll be ok?" "Honestly?" There was no answer. "I don't know, guess time will tell won't it?" "Thank you, Stefan for taking her in" "I wasn't gonna leave her out there" "I know but I can still thank you" "Well, your welcome"

~A few hours later ~

I open my eyes a little and the bright sun is shining right into them. I groan and someone runs to where I am. "Hey, your awake" I was silent, not knowing what to say. "I'll close these for you" "Thanks" "No problem" He left for a minute and I heard someone running down stairs.

"Maya?!" "Elena?" I whisper yell, excitedly. Its hard to talk my throat is hurting pretty badly. "Yeah, you don't remember seeing me yesterday?" "No" I cough. "Here, use this" The guy, Stefan, said handing me a pad of paper and a pen.

"Maya, what all do you remember from yesterday?" "Yesterday?!" I screeched, grabbing my throat.
'How long have I been out?!' "A day and a half" 'How far from home are we and when can we leave?' I asked, tears starting to stream down my face. "We're not far from home and um, Stefan?" "Yeah?" "You uh, you wanna tell her how long we have to stay?" "At least a week and half, maybe longer" 'No, Im going home' "Maya, you have to stay, he's a doctor"

I start to cry and she hugs me, which makes me cry more. Night falls and I'm the only one awake, I thought anyway. Apparently that Stefan guy is still awake too.

You know he actually isn't ugly. I'm fine with staying as long as he needs me too 😏. Although I do miss my bed, and my Aunt Jenna, and Jeremy. I miss Caroline, and Bonnie!

As I think about them, I start to cry, Caroline has been my best friend for I don't know how long. I tell her about everything, yet I had to lie to her about what was happening. Honestly, I don't think anyone believed what I told them, they all knew what he was doing to me, and everyone tried to convince me to leave. But I was to stubborn to go. Look where that got me, almost dead at my sisters boyfriends brother/ ex-boyfriends house.

Sounds complicated but it really isn't, you see, Elena dated Stefan first and is now dating his brother, Damon. Which is so cruel to me, like I have no idea how my sister could do that to him, or anybody for that matter.

Judge me for it if ya want, I don't care; lock me up and throw away the key, but, its my opinion and I stick to it. Always have- always will.
