Fighting Love | Stefan Salvatore

The One With The New Journey

Emily heaved out a heavy sigh as she rolled around in her boyfriend's bed at the Salvatore boarding house. The Radkova witch had definitely regretted drinking until two in the morning with Damon and Katherine if her headache was anything to go by. Emily had been happy to celebrate Damon's cured werewolf bite and saying goodbye to Katherine before she left town last night, but Emily was really regretting those multiple bottles of bourbon.

The headache was partly to blame for why the Radkova witch was still in her pajamas in bed at three in the afternoon. The other part was because Emily was missing her boyfriend so much. Emily didn't realize how difficult it was going to be going without Stefan around. This was the first time that the Radkova witch had been away from Stefan since he was locked underneath Fell church, so it was hard for Emily to go on knowing that she couldn't even contact her boyfriend and hear his comforting voice.

The sadness that Emily felt about not being able to talk to Stefan was on top of the heartbreak that she felt from losing her twin sister along with the guilt that she still felt for all of the people that she had hurt when her emotions were off. Emily knew no one blamed her for what happened during that time period but that didn't mean that Emily had forgiven herself for being so careless and hurting innocent people.

It was hard for Emily to go back to her regular life when all of these emotions were hitting her all at once. Emily honestly couldn't even be bothered to get out of bed for anything. Katherine had to forcefully pull Emily out of bed to say goodbye before the Radkova witch clung onto Stefan's comforting blanket.

Damon had tried to get the Radkova witch up to eat something a couple of times but the eldest Salvatore vampire gave up when he noticed that Emily really wasn't feeling well emotionally. Emily did appreciate it that the blue eyed vampire left her a couple of fruits and waters on the bedside table, so she didn't grow hungry or dehydrated.

The Radkova witch tossed and turned in Stefan's bed for the millionth time that morning before she groaned when she heard the bedroom door open. "I'm fine, Damon," the blonde teenager mumbled into her boyfriend's warm pillow as she figured that he was coming to check up on her again.

"Thank God I'm not Damon, then," the familiar voice of the Forbes vampire muttered as she and Bonnie came walking into the younger Salvatore vampire's bedroom with a black plastic bag in Caroline's hand and stack of a books and papers in the Bennett witch's hands. Caroline loudly clapped her hands together as she jumped onto Stefan's king sized bed. "It's time to get up!" The Forbes vampire exclaimed as she pulled the blanket away from Emily's face.

The Radkova witch groaned when the sun shined onto her face before she tried to pull the warm blanket back over her face but it was no use against a vampire's strength. "Let me wither away," Emily mumbled as she flopped back down onto the soft pillow.

"I know you feel like your life is falling apart right now but you can't stay in bed all day," the Forbes vampire softly murmured as she gently rubbed her cold palm up and down across Emily's warm arm as she laid next to her best friend.

"You know Stefan nor Elena would want you to do that," the Bennett witch added as she placed her stack of the books and papers down onto the wooden dresser before Bonnie joined the two supernatural beings on the large bed as she laid down on the other side of Emily.

"Besides, we brought a present!" Caroline excitedly exclaimed before she hurriedly sat up in the large bed. The Forbes vampire grabbed the black plastic bag that she had placed on the ground before she had joined Emily on the bed. Caroline flipped the plastic bag over and emptied it out in her previous spot with a wide grin playing on her lips.

Emily grew curious at the noise and from Caroline's excitement, so she sat up in her boyfriend's king sized bed before she furrowed her brows at what she saw. The Radkova witch picked up the small box before she puzzledly inquired, "hair dye? What's this for?"
