All the things I want - a Stefan Salvatore fanfic. [ON HOLD]

Chapter thirteen.

It had been a few days since her old babysitter tried to eat her.
Mystic Falls, a weird town.

Aurora woke up after a while and read the note from Stefan that he left on her nightstand, she called and thanked him for rescuing her from Logan that night. It almost made her sick to imagine what the man would have done if Stefan and Damon weren't there at the right time. She shuddered at the thought.

Aurora had tried not to think about Stefan leaving, even if he was still here - he had never confirmed that he was planning to stay. She despised the constant feeling of dread that hung over her every second of the day, being told that there wasn't a trace of him in sight. The girl assumed that it was because of her overthinking and the stress of schoolwork piling up on her that provoked unbearable headaches, not always, but when appeared they would hurt like a bitch.

On a lovely tuesday morning, Aurora was walking up the slopy hill from the library, her cheeks flushed and her breathing unsteady. She knew it was a bad idea to take the long, scenic route home today, but what else was there to waste her precious time on? Men? Pfft. The Lockwood was trying to untangle her earphones when she heard her phone vibrate and ring in the pocket of her fur collar jacket. Her brain scolded her heart for the way it skipped a beat when she saw the caller ID.

Her fingers shook from the cold squeezing it for too long and pressed her frozen fingers on the green button and inhaled before putting it up to her ear.

"Hey? Aurora?" Stefan's flowed through her ears like a sweet melody.

"Yes?"

"Have you..is Elena with you by any chance?"

"Nope, I haven't seen her since the career fair, is everything okay?" She answered him.

"No, I...Can you come to my house? It would be easier to explain in person." Stefan requested.

She agreed and ended the call, huffing a deep sigh before turning around and walking all the way back down the hill she just spent half an hour walking up. She could never catch a break, could she?

"...I went down to get her a glass of water and then it was like she had vanished! The only trace of her left was her necklace. At first I thought maybe someone took her, but then I saw a picture of Katherine next to the necklace and just connected two dots, I called her and then...Damon picked up."

"Wait- Katherine as in her doppelganger?" Aurora tried to recall the story.

"Yeah..I just, it's not- I feel guilty."

"I've gotta say, getting left right after having sex is pretty harsh. But, you've got to understand the perspective in her boots, Stef. I mean, that can be pretty confidence-breaking. She thinks you're with her because of Katherine, not because of her as an individual."

Stefan slowly started to show a smile that gradually reached his eyes, causing the girl to furrow her eyebrows in confusion. The two of them were sitting casually on his bed, discussing the matter.
