My Girlfriends Best friend - Stelena

Chapter nine

[Elena's P.O.V]
It was a few days later from when Caroline spent the night. Because of our friendship, it seems like Stefan doesn't want to talk to me.

It's not fair.

You know what else isn't fair? That I can't talk to my best friend about my affection for Stefan. Because they've had a history.

I do feel bad for Caroline though. It's got to be rough; waking up from a coma then losing your boyfriend, that you've had for two years by the way. And then discovering that you're pregnant, with little to none help.

It's all very confusing and frustrating.

I rush downstairs when I hear a knock at the door. From the window and my position all I saw was a piece of blonde curly hair.

It's Caroline.

I turn the knob and pull.

"Hey care, what's up." I said curiously.

"Um... School." She answered.

Wow I'm dumb.

"Oh yea, just let me grab my bag." I sauntered over to a little bench below a key holder, and a coat rack.

On the key holder, it had a message that said; 'My Family Is My Home.' My mom had bought it.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

The seat part to the bench opened up to reveal storage space for small to medium items.

My blue nike bag was sitting inside there. I clutched the handle on the top of the bag, and headed out with Caroline.

"First class today is history, right?" I know I've been here for two weeks but, there is enough to worry about.

"Yea, when I was in a coma, did you.." Her voice deepened. "Did you and Stefan, work on the project?"

"No, Mr. Salzman told us to wait until you were awake." I answered.

"I was only asking because, well I thought something might have happened." She told me.

"Gosh.. no Caroline. I would never do that to you." I asserted.

"Ok I believe you." Caroline said while looking towards the road. "Now that we've cleared that up, there is this thing at the swimming hole. You interested?

The idea of swimming sounded relaxing, being near a bunch of people in a swimsuit didn't.

I know I shouldn't be ashamed, I'm not. But I'm shy, I do go swimming and wear them but, I'm not fond of it.

"Yea sounds fun when is it?"

"Mm right now." She divulged.

"Wait what I didn't bring anything!"

"That's okay, I brought one of mine." Caroline uttered, sounding like she was pointing out the obvious.

Swimming in one of my suits I was iffy about, but Caroline strikes me of one of those 'if you got it, flaunt it, types.

I wasn't one of those girls.

"Sounds great, but how many people can show if it's during school?" I wondered.

"Name 5 people you know that love school." She insisted.

"I don't know 5 people from mystic falls high." I responded.

She laughed.

After taking a left we came upon the swimming hole. There was a outhouse for changing.

Lucky for me I got there quick, no hiding in bushes for me.

The swimsuit or bikini Caroline borrowed for me was a deep red, the kind of red that's known as a sexy lipstick colour, in between the two cups was a silver loop connecting them together. The bottoms had strings attaching the front and back together.

I walked out, I felt uncomfortable, like my body was spilling out of this bikini.

Looking around to find Caroline my gaze caught someone.

They're body was very defined, nice abs.

Oh my god.. It's Stefan.

His eyes caught mine, I wanted to talk to him but I heard Caroline.

"Wow Elena! You look.. Hot." Caroline was wearing a blue bikini with lighter blue flowers printed on it.

"I could say the same for you!" I felt bad, not paying all my attention on Caroline right now. I mean she was with me.

"Thank you, I'll go get us some drinks." She glanced over at the line. "Probably be back in 15, is that okay?"

"Yea go ahead." Finally my chance to see Stefan.

Stefan was leaning against a tree watching people swing on the rope, landing them selves in the water in an uncomfortable position.

"Hey stranger." I smiled.

"Hi." Hey looked at me, then his eyes flew to the splash of someone who just belly-flopped into the swimming hole.

I couldn't help but check him out. He was really hot.

"Oh come on stop drooling, I'm sure you could do the same." I chuckled.

"Probably not." It was like he was here but his mind was somewheres else.

"Did I do something wrong?" He made me crazy, he acted like he was into me before, then now it's like I don't even exist.

"To be honest, I feel like now that me and Caroline broke up, you're just waiting to pounce." He revealed.

"Excuse me? I gave you nothing but space, yea I liked you but I was also your friend." I paused looked down then continued "you told me that you still wanted to be my friend."

"I think I'm going to go." He walked away.

[Stefan's P.O.V]
I feel bad about getting mad at Elena, but my head was all over the place. Truthfully I said what I thought.

Just not all I thought.

Because if I admit all I thought, then I was part of the reason of Caroline and I's breakup.

Because I liked Elena.

Being in a relationship with Caroline became normal after a while, it was what I knew.

Just the thought of me almost throwing it away because I met Elena makes me sick.

But I'd be lying if I said that it didn't appeal to me at all. You know kissing her, a relationship with her. Because it did.

I wanted all that with her. I just don't know when a good time is, so her being upset with me will give me time.

I pulled into my driveway and jumped onto the couch.

Just five minutes after arriving home, there was footsteps leading up to my house. They rang the doorbell.

It was Elena.
