Chapter nine.
As we all know, there's a thin line between love and hate. But is it really? I'd rather say it should be redefined. Actually, there's a great wall of China between love and hate. One minute you're in love with that person, but the next minute they can hurt you in any possible ways. But if we want to move one, the only thing we can do is to let go.
We need to learn to forgive in order to love again. A person can't endure that amount of pain. We need to let it all out, we can't take all the pain to ourselves.
It's been months since Stefan came back, since his break up with Katherine, since Stefan and Elena are back together. Truth to be told, Stefan's still not over Katherine yet. But it doesn't bother Elena. She knew Stefan's still not over Katherine. She promised Stefan to give him some space and she intended to keep that promise.
Today is Thanksgiving and the two of them decided to invite everyone. They invited everyone because they wanted to spend this year's Thanksgiving with their loved ones.
Stefan woke up without Elena sleeping next to him. He assumed she's probably downstairs or out with her best friends. So he got up and get into a shower.
After the shower, he walked down the stairs. "Elena! Where are you?" Stefan's yelling out Elena's name. Searching for her in their own house. You may think it's too soon for them to buy a house and live together but to them, it's not. Stefan wandered through the house looking for Elena. Still no sign.
He walked over to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.
Stefan:
I'm out buying groceries for tonight's Thanksgiving.
You might wanna call Rick.
He called you.
xoxo Elena.
Stefan put the note down and poured himself a drink.
"Hey Rick! Elena told me that you called. So what's up?" Stefan called after he finishes his drink.
"Oh yeah. About that Jenna and I can't make it to the Thanksgiving." Rick said apologetically over the phone.
"Why's that?"
"Jenna got invited to her professor's party and she have to be there. I promised her I'll go with her and we can't cancelled it. We're so sorry. Tell Elena we're sorry."
"Okay. Just be sure you can make it to the next one."
Rick laughed through the other side "Promised. Bye Stefan" He ended the call.
Just when Stefan got comfortable on the couch, Elena got back with bags of groceries in her hand. "Hey babe! I'm back!" she said.
Stefan giggled "Do you need any help there?". Elena rolled her eyes and answered "Yes, Mr Salvatore. So don't just stand there and help me!"
"Easy there tiger. I'm helping." Stefan grabbed a few bags and walked to the kitchen. "So what did you buy?"
"I bought turkey, pudding, vegetables, fruits, sweets." She said as she count the food in the bags. "I almost forgot! I'm cooking too." she said and she looked at Stefan.
"You're cooking?" Stefan asked in disbelief.
"Yeah I am and I'm planning on making a cake too. What? You got a problem with that?"
"No, I'm just saying I'm all yours" I grinned.
"Oh and Elena?"
"Yeah?"
