The Tragic Love Story of Elijah and Elena

Chapter Fifteen

**Okay so hopefully I will be posting a lot more often, because I'm going to be using my phone to upload. My laptop is being so annoying and it won't turn on at time, and it's just such a hassle to deal with. Even though I don't like using my phone for stories, I want to upload at regular times so, I hope this works! Enjoy this chapter!!**

Days later,

I found myself trying so hard to ignore Elijah. I told Caroline what happened-because being the best friend she was-she could tell something was up. She was speechless when I told her, but eventually she jumped up and down screeching.

"So, want to go clubbing later, or are you still convinced that you can't go out because one of them might be there?" Caroline asks, breaking my thoughts.

Right now, Caroline and I are walking around the city, looking at all the small little antique shops on the sides of the roads.

I never really buy from these things, but it's fun to look at what the sellers have to offer.

"Caroline..." I sigh and roll my eyes as she starts her speech that she's probably been working on secretly.

I don't know how to see him after that. It all happened so quickly.

"Are you even listening to me?" She says frustrated. "Yes, I am, kind of. Listen, I don't know how to see him after that, it all happened so quickly." I bite my lip as I reminisce that night.

I cup his face in my hands as his run down my back, holding my waist. Soon, we both pull away, just looking into each other's eyes.

His eyes glisten in the moonlight, and I could see the bewilderment, but also satisfaction in his gaze.

I let out a shaky breath, trying to recompose myself. "Good night, Elena." He whispers with a smirk playing on his face.

I'm at a loss for words, so I just nod, blushing furiously.

He turns away and goes back to his car, getting in swiftly and driving away. Wow.

My thoughts are once again interrupted by my phone vibrating in my pocket.

"I have at least one guess of who that could be. Well, actually two. Because let's be honest, Damon's been blowing up my phone as well."  

I ignore her as I pull out my phone and look at the text. It's Elijah.

Elena, I know you are avoiding me. I understand, but I really think we should talk about what happened.

Curse him and his understanding. He's always so calm and collected about everything.

"Knew it." Caroline mumble from over my shoulder. I put my phone away quickly and scoff. "Nosey much?" I groan.

"You can't avoid him forever." She says, making a good point. I can't, even if I wanted to. He's like a drug.

"Wanna go shopping?" I ask, knowing she'll immediately change the subject and agree.

"Sure!" She giggles and smiles as we walk down the street.

I knew it.

Later that day, we head back to the motel room with a bunch of shopping bags. Caroline bought more than me, I wasn't really into the whole shopping mood.

We put all our new clothes away and I bite the inside of my lip. "Oh um, have you talked to Bonnie?"

I turn my head briefly and shake my head. "No, I feel bad but I haven't really been in the mood to talk to anyone besides you about what's going on."

"Well, she's coming down. I thought it would be a good idea, because I'm also having my own problems with Klaus." She says as she fixes her hair in the mirror.

"But unlike you, I've been communicating -sort of- and trying to make things work." She sighs and looks down.

"I'm happy for you Caroline. Really, I am." I admit and give her a genuine smile.

"I know I can't avoid Elijah, but right now I need my space to try and figure out how to face him after that night." I say and I think I finally broke through to her.

"I understand. But just a little advice, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I mean, he kissed you, and I think he's liked you for a long time now."

She winks at me and smiles brightly. This is why she's one of my best friends.
