Chapter 13: A Trip To My Past
It's been ten days since the incident. Stefan and Elena haven't seen each other after that. Stefan says he's busy with his schedule and Elena's been busy operating surgeries as well. Elena thinks he may need some space and time. Specially after his dark past came out. And she knows about it. Caroline too. He's probably embarrassed or didn't want it to be come out so she respects his decision.
They though talk to each other on WhatsApp.
Elena's exhausted today. She has operated three surgeries and the three of them went successful. She just wants to go home and rolls on her bed. Probably order pizza and watch some home movies. Sleeping will be a lot better.
Elena gets into her chamber without looking. A hand by the way pulls her into and holds her against the wall. She gasps and before she can speak, Stefan smashes his lips against hers. They keep kissing like they haven't kissed in years. They don't even remember the last time they had kissed.
Elena slowly opens her eyes in surprise, still puckering her lips as she looks at Stefan who's blushing. "Hey" he says softly, kissing her again softly.
She smiles and shakes her head. "Hi. How are you?" She asks. Stefan puts his hands on her waist "I'm better now." He smiles.
They both rest their foreheads together. "Mmmm" Elena makes a soft sound, caressing his chest. "I missed you." She says and she's being honest. She did miss him. Even though they're not even serious.
He sighs. "I did miss you too." He kisses her forehead, bringing the comfort she's been looking for. "Are you tired?" He asks. Stefan squints her eyes. "A little, why?" She asks in curious.
Stefan shrugs his shoulder as he looks up and says. "Too tired to go out with me?" He asks tilting his head, raising an eyebrow at her. She scrunches her nose. "Aren't you afraid to get caught. Remember last time? People still think you and Caroline are something." She reminds him.
Stefan makes a face like it's just not so great. Him and with the girl he's seeing, her best friend? That's just odd.
"I know a place. People there don't know me much. Beside I've a hoodie and cap to keep myself hideous." He says. Elena rolls her eyes. "Yeah a hood, and a cap and you're invisible" she says. It's just dumb that people wouldn't be recognized him.
"I'll take the blame. Do you want to go or not?" Stefan asks kissing her again. Elena's eyes light up and then down. "I'd love to but I'm not well..." She clears her throat.
"You're looking perfect. Now, go change and I'll be waiting outside." He says, leaving a wet kiss on her cheek as he leaves. Elena huffs and thinks it's better than spending her time alone with herself.
As she gets out, he sees Stefan holding a bouquet of white lilly's for her. She smiles widely. "For me?" She asks. Stefan sighs. "Nope, for Caroline. You know since we're dating." He humors her earning a quick soft slap from her.
She looks at them. They're really beautiful. "How did you get it?" She asks. Stefan smiles. "Something called online shopping where you buy stuffs and they bring it to you just in time." He again humors her. She just rolls her eyes. Stefan's having a regular Stefan day.
He takes her somewhere. It's a crowded place more like an open market where you can buy anything. It's not fancy but normal. Definitely not a place for a celebrity specially someone like Stefan.
"What's with the glare?" Stefan asks with the corner of his eye when he sees Elena glaring at everything.
"You really come here?" Elena asks. Stefan nods. "Yeah, I had a friend who introduced me this place. I fell in love with it. And the specialty of this place is people don't recognize anyone." He says.
Elena raises her eyebrows. "What?" She asks. "It's just people ignore people. Like you know I'm here. People can see me. Some even recognize me but they'll pretend they don't know me and they would go back to minding their business. That's why many famous people come here." Stefan says.
His words go over her head. That's bizarre. Stefan notices Elena's thinking too hard so he just laughs.
"Come on, let's go." He says. Elena awkwardly gets out. She sees Stefan go to an ice cream parlor and buy two. Elena smiles. "How did you know I like vanilla?" Elena asks taking it. "Vanilla girls love vanilla." He says, winking at her then biting on his chocolate ice cream.
She rolls her eyes. "Your humor is going to get you one day." She says starts to walk with him. "Maybe it's not my day." He says. Elena keeps looking at the place. It's not bad. It's quite good actually. People are really minding their business. She's walking with Stefan Salvatore and yet no fans, no paps.
"I was a child when I met Monica." He says out of knowhere looking at his feet. Elena looks at her left where Stefan's walking. He's opening up to her. "I was missing my mother like crazy. She abandoned me and got pregnant with my step sister Bonnie and started living with Bonnie's father. I was devasted and jealous." He says sadly.
They stop walking. Stefan finally encourages to look at Elena who's intensely listening to him. "Then my father introduced me to Monica. She seemed a nice person until she wasn't. She was motherly at first, showered me with love." He takes out a sigh.
He inhales deeply. "Then her twisted games started on me. She was playing me. My father trusted her so he left me to her in my house and mostly stayed in Virginia due to business dealings. And that's when Monica made sure I grew up with emotional damages." He says.
Elena's already shaking up hearing all of it. "She'd first starve me which was.. I don't know why she did it. I had always food at home but she kinda punished me and said I had no discipline in me. So I needed to be punished. She had beaten the shit out of me, locked me in the store house." He says, a tear comes out of his eye.
"She threatened me if I told my father all of this, she'd kill him and then me. I believed her. After two years of being treated like this, she had grown more outrageous. She...." He pauses. He doesn't know how to say.
"Touched me.. and ..." He doesn't know how to finish. Elena immediately takes Stefan into her arms. "Shhh, it's okay. You don't have to say anything." Elena says caressing his shoulder and back.
Stefan dumps his face on Elena's neck, inhaling her sweet scent. They wrap into each other like this until she feels him relax on her arms.
She slowly lets go off him. "I'm sorry. I just..." He says. Elena wipes of his tear. "No, it's okay. You were a child, easy to manipulate. It wasn't your fault. But you can't let that sociopath woman control you, your present, your future." She says stroking his face. Stefan nods. "I still need to go to therapy's because sometimes I just can't Elena. I feel too alone and scared." Stefan says.
"Where was your brother?" Elena asks when she remembers he has an older brother. "Damon was sent to boardings, he never really came or chose to talk to me. We were never close." He says. It breaks Elena's heart because he needed someone close to him and he had no one.
"You've me, Stefan. You'll always have me. Even if we don't become serious or fall apart, you'll still have me." Elena says holding Stefan's face.
Stefan moves his face and kisses her hand. "I want you, Elena. I'll always want you" he says.
