Chapter two.
Stefan's POV
I parked my car at the corner of the parking lot. I turned off my car engine and I walked out of the car. I looked at the watch and I saw it's almost time to meet up with Lexi.
Lexi and I have been friends for almost 8 years now. She's the most hilarious person you'll ever meet. She may be known as the dumb blonde to the others but not for me. If you know her better, then you'll figured she's more of a party crasher. But on the other hand, she's also very considerate. She probably knows me better than myself.
While I was walking down the street, I felt someone's arms is on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Caroline. She has those 'I feel sorry for what happened to you and Elena" kinda eyes. She probably knew what happened between me and Elena since her and Elena are best friends.
"Hey Stefan. How are you? How are you holding up? I thought you left town right after you know what." she asked.
"I'm fine" I lied cause I know that my wounds will take forever to heal. "And actually, I'm not leaving town with Lexi until 12 pm. And now I'm meeting her at The Grill." I faked a smile into her direction.
"Oh." she answered with this 'awkward' smile on her face. But didn't bothered asking her about it. "So where are you guys going?"
"We're gonna head back to New York and probably we'll stay there for our summer too." I answered.
As we were talking, we walked to The Grill together.
Elena's POV
I saw him. He's with Caroline. But why are they together? They seemed to be talking about something, but what could it be? I thought she said she have something to do.. did she lied at me?
I watched them carefully, trying to read their lips but I failed. And then I heard Bonnie calling my name.
"Elena! Hey why are you standing outside The Grill? I thought we're having breakfast." Bonnie asked.
"Yeah, we are. I'm... just... uh thinking about something. Let's go inside." I turned over my shoulder and looked that Stefan and Caroline are walking towards The Grill too.
We sat down and while we're looking through our menus, Caroline's walking towards our table.
"Hey. So I just finished dealing with my thing. The one I got held up with. Anyway I'm going to have breakfast with you girls. Is that okay?' she asked looking at my direction.
"Sure." I smiled at her.
We ordered our food and we started talking. Bonnie asked what happened last night after the graduation since she left right after it.
"I gave Stefan a 'thank you for being my side' speech to him and then I went looking for Damon. I told him I'm in love with him and I chose him." I blurted out without any hesitation.
'What?!" Bonnie shrieked. "Elena! What were you thinking? Why would you choose Damon right after you thanked Stefan?"
I didn't answered the question. As if I didn't know why I would tell Damon I love him and why I would chose him.
I changed the subject and turned to Caroline. 'So Caroline, I saw you and Stefan are talking. What were you guys talking about? I did't bothered hiding my curiosity.
"Oh about that. I'm not sure what you're gonna think." she said and it's making me a lot more curious.
"Just tell me Caroline." I said.
"Okay, so here's the thing. I just asked him how's he's been doing right after you know what." before she continued, I cut her off. "What do you mean you know what?' I looked at her confused and asked her. "Was she implying the love declaration I had with Damon? But that's impossible! She wasn't even there." I said to myself.
"You didn't know? Stefan was in the room when you confessed your love to Damon and so was I. He heard everything you've said to Damon and he was heartbroken. And yesterday at around midnight, he texted me, he and Lexi are leaving town. So when I bumped into him just now, I asked him where he and Lexi are going. He said they're heading back to New York and they'll probably stay there for their summer too." Caroline answered and looked straight into my direction when she said the word 'heartbroken'.
Stefan was there? And so was Caroline? But how? I thought he left when I thanked him. I've broken his heart again. And now he's leaving town? Of course he's leaving town. He heard everything I said to Damon. What was he supposed to do, uh? Stay in the boarding house and watch me and Damon together? I was so deep into my thoughts and didn't listened to Caroline and Bonnie's conversation about the graduation.
Stefan's POV
I sat down at the table and waited for Lexi. I saw her. I saw Elena. I stared at her direction and watched her. I feel an urge to run over there and hug her. Most importantly, I wanted to kiss her lips. I missed kissing her lips. Her lips are so pink and her beautiful face shinning through the light. "Stop it, Stefan! She's with your brother now, you need to stop thinking about her." I tell myself.
I was cut off by Lexi's voice. "Sorry Stefan. I was late because I got a little held up." she said. "It's fine. I just got here. Why don't we order now?" I smiled at her.
"Good. I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything since last night." she groaned.
I chuckled at her and we both ordered our food.
"So, how long are we planning to stay in New York?"
"Um, I was thinking about till the summer break is over. I thought it'd be nice to stay there in summer. What do you think"
'I think that'd be great! Oh, by the way, before we head to the airport, I need to buy some snacks to eat on the plane. You know how I'm a snacks lover, right?"
"Right, so we're good then." we both giggled.
After finishing our breakfast, I headed to the bathroom. "Hey, Lexi. I paid the bill already and now I need to head to the bathroom. Wait me outside?" I asked. "Sure! I'll for you outside. Now go." she said and I giggled at her.
When I'm almost at the men's room, I bumped into someone.
"Oh, I am so sor..." before I was able to finish my sentence, I was cutoff by that person. Elena.
"Stefan!" she gasped.
Sorry, it's kinda short I think. Please let know about your thoughts or reviews.
