Love Sucks | The Vampire Diaries

Stefan Salvatore

*Third Person's P.O.V.*

"His name is Stefan Salvatore," Caroline spoke to Bonnie and Annabelle about the new student in their school as the three girls slowly walked through the Grill. Annabelle, knowing that her sister wanted to spend some time at the cemetery (again), decided to simply meet up with Caroline and Bonnie, and let Elena meet up with them later, "He lives with his uncle up at the old Salvatore Boarding House, he hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family, so they moved around a lot. He's a Gemini, and his favorite color is blue," Caroline finished as she stopped walking and turned around to look at her two best friends.
"You got all of that in one day?" Bonnie asked in disbelief, and Annabelle chuckled.
"Oh, please. She got all of that between third and fourth period," she said, and Bonnie looked at her in disbelief before turning back to Caroline, who simply nodded with a nonchalant smile.
"Yup. We're planning a June wedding," she said, before turning around and walking away from the two girls, who simply stared after her in amusement.
"She's unbelievable," Bonnie murmured with a disbelieving chuckle, making Annabelle hold back a laugh.
"Well, that's Caroline for you," she said, making Bonnie stifle a laugh.

*30 Minutes Later*

"How's Elena doing?" Annabelle heard a male voice ask, and excused herself from a conversation she had with Caroline.
"Her mom and dad died. How do you think?" she heard Bonnie reply, and stiffened, coming to a halt. The dark-skinned girl's eyes wandered over to where she was standing, and widened, guilt immediately rising up. "Oh, my God. Anna, I... I am so sor-"
"It's okay, don't worry about it," Annabelle managed to say, before gathering the strength to continue walking as she turned to the teenage boy at their table, who was also looking at her apologetically. "Elena's putting on a good face, but... it's only been four months," she said, sadness seeping into her voice, making Bonnie give her a sympathetic smile.
"Has she said anything about me?" the young man asked gently, feeling guilty to seem so insensitive.
"Oh, no. I am so not getting in the middle of that," Annabelle shook her head, while Bonnie raised her hands and shook her head, silently telling him that she won't tell him anything either. "You pick up the phone and call her,"
"I feel weird calling her," he admitted. "She broke up with me,"
"Give it more time, Matt," Bonnie shrugged, giving him a soft smile, before her eyes traveled towards the door that they heard open, and widened as she saw Elena and Stefan enter together. Annabelle didn't know whether to feel sorry for Matt, or happy that her sister seemed to be spending more time with other people instead of spending so much time alone.
"More time, huh?" Matt asked sadly, his voice nearly cracking, and the two girls looked at him sympathetically as he stood up and walked towards Elena and Stefan.
Annabelle sighed and looked down at Bonnie, the two girls sharing a sad look, before following Matt.
"Hey, I'm Matt. Nice to meet you," she heard Matt introduce himself, and couldn't help but admire him. Even when he is so heartbroken, he is still kind, even to the ones most people would hate if they were in his position.
"Hi. Stefan," Stefan shook his hand with a small, polite smile, and Matt gave him a nod before his eyes traveled to Elena, while Stefan's gaze moved to Annabelle.
"Hey," Elena smiled at Matt, hoping to make him feel better, but with no such luck.
"Hey," Matt said back, but not even a smile complimented his greeting.
Elena sighed, hating the fact that she was hurting the boy she grew up with, before looking at Stefan, only to see him looking in a different direction. Furrowing her eyebrows, she followed his gaze curiously.
"Oh. Uh, Stefan, this is my sister, Annabelle," she quickly introduced, thinking that the reason Stefan was staring at Annabelle was because he could see the slight resemblance, but didn't know who Annabelle was.
"You can call me Anna," Annabelle smiled at him, reaching out to shake his hand, making him smile, his eyes remaining on her for a few more seconds.
