Remember Me- Chapter Fourteen

"Who was that?" Stefan asked, drying off his hair with a towel as Elena laid back into the mattress underneath her and she closed her eyes. She knew who it was and what she'd just so stupidly done. If anything, Aubrey knew about them now too, even if she didn't want to.

"Your wife called and I just accidentally answered the phone. I didn't mean to do it. But, I did and-." The angry look on Stefan's face was enough for Elena to get up out of bed and begin to apologize to him. "Please, Stefan. I'm sorry. I didn't-." Cutting her off with a wave of his hand, he got dressed quickly and took his cell phone into his hands.

"You and I are being incredibly stupid and reckless with each other. Elena, as much as I've been enjoying these last few days with you and these last few hours. I think it's time you go to stay with your brother." He said, without looking at her as Elena closed her eyes and shook her head. It was already too late; Aubrey knew and god only knew what she was going to do about it.

Elena scoffed, trying to stand her ground. "Why did you even marry her, Stefan? It's obvious to me that you barely even love her at all. I mean, she's the one who should be here with you. Not me!" She hissed out as Stefan stood up, their eyes level on one another when he stood in front of her and spoke in a warning tone. "I married her because you weren't there and Ben needed a mother. Because, if my illness ever came back. I wanted him to be okay. Okay? I married Aubrey out of fucking convenience for myself even if I didn't really love her that much. But, I grew to love her and to be honest, I've been fucking stupid with you lately. Now, I think it would be best for you to leave."

Elena shook her head, anger boiling up within her heart and her blood. "Here we are, fighting again like usual. God, damn it! Just when I thought-." He cut her off again, glaring at her.

"Just when you thought what? That we could really happy together again? Elena, I'm cheating on my wife and I'm a pathetic man for doing so." Stefan pointed out to her, running his hands through his hair as he looked up at her and made a stern suggestion. "We shouldn't see each other again for a while. Not until I figure things out with Aubrey." He told her, handing her a piece of paper with an address on it as he exhaled deeply.

"What's this?" Elena asked, giving him a perplexed look as Stefan shrugged his shoulders back and spoke. "If you don't want to stay with your brother. I understand. However, I think you should stay here then. I'll come out there too, eventually. Just to see how she's doing and how you are of course." Stefan replied, watching as Elena looked down at the address and noticed the name on it.

"You want me to go see her? Alone?" Elena asked as Stefan nodded, telling her he thought that it would be a good idea and that he'd be in touch over the next few days.

"You knew! Didn't you?" She shouted out, pushing her way inside of the house as Katherine and Damon stood near the door, confusion and utter shock on their faces while Aubrey glared at both of them for whatever wrong doing she claimed they had done.

"Knew what?" Damon asked her, scratching his head and trying to make sense of whatever it was that she was talking about.

"About Stefan's illness, about the fact that he's in Seattle with another woman. But, not just any woman. With her! His ex-fiancé, Elena Gilbert!" Aubrey screamed. Damon watched as Katherine pulled her aside, telling her to keep her voice down and that it would be best for them to talk outside. Katherine dragged her outside onto the patio as Aubrey breakdown in tears and stammered out uncoherent words like "How could he do this to me!"
