Elena's Cousin( The Vampire Diaries/Twilight crossover)

Twenty Nine

Stefan was still playing with my lips. He didn't try anything nasty to deepen the kiss. And I was just, standing still, not knowing how to react. What if I try to move away and the already awkward situation becomes even more awkward, so I kinda became a temporary statue. My eyes were closed, of course.

He pulled back finally and both of us kept staring at each other, without saying a word. A small smile found it's way on Stefan's face and I cracked up, being unable to control my laughter. He chuckled too.

I didn't dare to turn left or right to take in others reactions, especially Elena's. I punched Stefan in his gut playfully and hugged him. He was vibrating against me, probably still chuckling.

I knew that I wouldn't be able to avoid Elena and others forever. So, I pulled back from Stefan and aimed my eyeballs in direction of Elena, who was standing next to Jake, holding his hand. She looked equally confused as I was and had some other emotion along with confusion. I couldn't tell if it was hurt or anger.

I just stood there, simply looking at her, in a helpless manner, not knowing what to talk or do at the moment.

Then, I turned right and found Bella with a blank look and found Damon in the same spot I saw him earlier, right beside her. His eyes were too big and his mouth was slightly open. He might've not expected such a thing to happen, I guess, Stefan kissing me. No one did expect that coming. I think, not even Stefan did.

Edward was standing five steps away from me, right in front of Bella and Damon. He looked angry.

I walked over to Elena, held her hand and placed it on my chest, giving her an apologetic look, even though I didn't start anything.

"El, I - uh-" I couldn't find the exact words to deliver and make her feel better and less angry if she was.

"You don't have to apologize, Trix. I'm not angry." She said, since I couldn't finish my sentence. I looked at Stefan and tried to say telepathically to apologise. But he just stood still with a pursed lips like a kid who doesn't know the question asked by his teacher.

He didn't understand my telepathy message or he really had nothing to say was beyond my knowledge. I heard Elena let out a soft sigh. I turned back to look at Elena and she was glaring so hard at Damon.

She walked over to him and said, "I'm happy that my baby sister isn't your toy anymore."

Now it was my turn to let my mouth hang in utter surprise on what she said. She didn't care about her boyfriend kissing me but did bother when my ex was kissing another girl. I felt like I was amidst a very knotted situation.

Damon didn't say anything but looked at me. I, by mistake, locked eyes with him and couldn't look away. Gosh! I didn't know how I became so weak. Edward caught my hand and distracted me, probably reading my mind.

Thanks, Ed.

He nodded and I didn't look in Damon's direction after that.

"Let's go home." I heard, Elena say weakly, looking at me.

My mouth refused to utter anything but I managed to nod.

"Um- don't you wanna discuss about what had happened here?" Jake spoke out my thoughts, hesitantly.

"No, it can wait." Elena said.

"I'm gonna come clean. I've nothing to do with that little stunt she'd pulled." Damon raised his hand up in surrender and pointed to Bella, innocently or let's say, fake innocently. He was looking from Elena to me.

Bella couldn't deal with the direct blow on her face like that, I guess. She was fuming and I peeked through the corner of my eyes and found Edward was fuming a bit too.

Finally, Bella growled, not so pleasantly, and stormed out of the Grill, stomping too hard on the floor.

Edward sat back down on the bar stool, placed his hand on the counter and rested his head on his palms. Neither of the them made a move nor opened their mouth to comment on the scene.

But I ran after Bella and stopped her when she was about to cross the road.

"What?" She barked at me, slapping my hand off her shoulder.

"It's dangerous here to roam out here, on your own." I said and took out my mobile phone.

"I don't care and it'd be better if you don't either." She spat and turned away, folding her hands over her chest. She didn't bring herself to walk off which meant that she believed when I said that it was dangerous.

I caught her hand which again, surprised and angered her but I raised my index finger to my lips and asked her to shush.

She nodded, grimly. I tried my level best to shut my thoughts from leaking out to Edward. I hope he should be able to not read Bella's thoughts either.

I typed in my mobile as fast as possible and showed it to Bella. I didn't want the certain vampire and a certain wolf boy to over hear to what I was about to tell her.

She looked into my mobile screen and her eyes got lit up. She took few seconds before agreeing to what I'd asked her to do.

'I need to talk to you. I'll help you and Edward patch up. But don't utter a word about anything unless we're in some place away from him and Jake.' This was what I typed in a hurry.

"You can stay at my house. If -" I couldn't finish my sentence, the guys and Elena stepped out and interrupted. Thank God, they didn't step out a few seconds earlier.

"She's not staying here." Damon grumbled. I ignored him but didn't retort back at him. I wasn't in a mood to deal with him at the moment.

"Shut up, Damon. Bella, you are staying in my house. It's kinda not so safe for you to be outside on your own." Elena said warmly with a small smile.

Bella agreed and got inside the car, in the back seat. Edward and Jake held my hand from behind and gave a squeeze. I turned back and gave my best innocent look possible.

"I'm feeling sleepy. Let's get going." I said, rubbing my eyes.

Jake ran and sat in the passenger seat. So, Edward and I had to sit with Bella at the back. Edward pushed me forward. I stood near the door and turned around.

"Goodnight, Salvatore brothers." With that I got in, not wanting to see Damon's expression and sat in the middle, making Bella to move closer to the right window and Edward sat beside me. I was squished between the ex-lovebirds.

Just wow.
