Chapter 14: Wherever You Go
"Your ice cream is melting." Stefan says trying to get out of that emotional break he just shared with Elena. Elena looks at her hand. She laughs. "Yours too." She says. Ice creams are melting down to both of their hands.
She takes her hand and sucks it. "It tastes good like this." She says when Stefan continues to look at her. He laughs at her childishness.
"Come on, I'll get you another one." Stefan says wrapping his hand around Elena's waist. She shakes her head no. "I have got bad tonsil. I can't have another but would it be bad if I say that I wanna go home and have homemade food?" Elena asks raising her eyebrow at him. He licks his lips. "Are you going to make?" he asks. She nods. Elena maintains hygiene and she loves homemade food than eating out.
"Okay, let's go to your place." He says, kissing her forehead.
As they start to walk back, Rishba points the gun at Elena and ready to shoot her any moment. He's been keeping eye on her since that night Stefan had a breakdown but he couldn't get a chance to harm Elena. Now, he's got his target in a perfect place.
As he pulls the trigger, it doesn't click. It's empty. He looks confused. Before he can check it out it, he feels a sharp pain back of his head and he falls to the ground.

"Pick it up, pick the damn phone up." Monica slurs as she starts to pace. Rishba said he'd finish Elena today. Monica is been trying to contact to him but she got zero response. She's cursing out. She's frustrating. She calls him again. This time he picks up the phone.
"Dumbass, where have you been? I've been calling you for the last two hours. Did you do it? Is she dead?" She says without letting him reply.
"The work is done and she's perfectly fine." He says. Monica raises her eyebrows. "What! What do you mean?" She asks. "Turn around." He says.
She does but she doesn't see Rishba but Klaus who has Rishba's phone. Monica drops her phone in the ground and shakes up.
"Is Miss Monica got scared?" He says hysterically. "I just dumbed your puppy at the hospital. Critical condition, pray that he makes it." He says walking towards Monica. Monica starts to walk backwards until she bumps into the wall.
Klaus gets closer to her. "I told you to stay away from Stefan but your old damaged brain couldn't register that easily." He says gathering her hair into his palm and wrapping it into a fist. She yelps in pain.
"Now, listen to me bitch. I want you out of this city. I've all the evidence that you've planned to murder Elena. I'll send them to FBI and they'd be happily arrest you and sentence you to minimum 30 years prison. Do you want that?" He asks. Monica shakes her head no. "Good girl. Now, pack your things and get out of here and if I ever see you around Stefan or Elena, trust me. I'd make sure you suffer slowly and slowly until you die." He says yanking her hair and slapping her hard that she falls to the ground.
He fixes his tie and takes out his phone. "Caroline, I want to see you." He says as he leaves.

"Okay, chicken parmesan is almost ready." She yells from the kitchen. Stefan's placing plates on the table. It's the only thing he can do in kitchen. He doesn't know how to cook, let alone doesn't even know how to make noddles.
"It smells great." He says, inhaling the aroma. It really smells good. His stomach growls. Elena brings the hot bowl on the table and places it. "Okay, now we just need wine and..." She says but as soon as turns to look at Stefan, he gently places his hand on her hips and kisses her.
