Dancing with Danger

The Call

Dear diary,

It's been three days since anyone has seen Stefan. There's no sign of him even being in Mystic falls. Caroline hasn't been at school because she's been too worried, I've been doing what I can to help, Jeremy is spending all of his time with Bonnie, and Damon thinks were all just over reacting.. He thinks we should "give him some time." I can't do that. I can't just give up on him. Stefan could be hurt or dead and he wants me to sit at home and do nothing... I can't. I won't,

"Elena are you up?" Jeremy yells from downstairs,

"Yeah I'm in my room. Why?" I yell back.

"Someone is on the phone for you!"

"Who?"

"Come see for yourself!" He says with an attitude.

"You are such a jackass." I mumble knowing he can't hear me.

So I get up, still in my short pajama shorts and tank top with my hair in a messy bun, and walk downstairs,

"Hello?"

"Elena?"

I felt like my jaw dropped to the floor. I got this feeling in my stomach and I'm not user if it was excitement or relief.

"Stefan?" I say somewhat cheerfully, but still using caution.

"It's me Elena. I- um.. I'm sorry."

It sounds like he was crying.

"It's okay, Stefan. Where are you?"

"I can't tell you.. I can't come home."

"Why not?" I ask, knowing he can hear the disappointment in my voice.

"I'm a terrible person.. I've done terrible things."

"It's okay Stefan. We can fix it. But you have to come home."

"Tell Caroline I'm sorry. And tell Damon that no matter what, he's still my brother. And I'll always love him. And Elena...." He trails off.

"Yeah?"

"I'll never forget you. I love you." He hangs up the phone.

I stand there for what feels like and hour, still holding the phone up to my ear. My mouth is open like I'm about to say something but I choke. I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes.

Is this it? Is Stefan really never coming home?

I can't even move. I feel so numb.

"Elena." Jeremy snaps.

"What? Huh?" I stutter, wondering how long he was standing there.

"Are you okay?" He asks, already knowing the answer.

"I- I'm fine."

"No.. You're not. Who was that on the phone?"

"Stefan."

I vamp speed upstairs and get dressed. I put on my dark jeans that have a hope just above the knee, my red shirt with my black leather jacket, and my converse.

I walk quickly down the stairs and grabs my keys.

"Where are you going?" Jeremy asked. Sounding super worried.

"To find Damon." I keep walking towards the door.

"What did stefan say? Is he okay?" He calls after me.

"No."

And then I left. I walked as fast as I could to my car and peeled out of the driveway. Stefan is not okay. And we need to find him before its too late.
