My One And Only - Klena

Chapter 7

Elena's POV

I woke up in an unknown bed. Recalling all of last night's events, I cringed. Why the hell did I have to go and get drunk? Looking at the shirtless man beside me, I bit my lip. I'm supposed to be regretting this, but I just want him even more.

Elena, what is wrong with you? I stood up grabbing the shirt I had found on the floor. There's no way I'm staying here confused about what I should do. Rushing to the front door, I feel something... Some kind of strength letting me pass through the barrier.

I didn't decide to question it at that moment. I rushed to my old hotel and quickly packed a bag after showering. When I booked the flight to Mystic Falls, I felt a slight pain in my heart. My body wished I could've stayed with Klaus but that didn't seem like a good idea. 

The flight was short, I found myself in the front door of the Salvatore house and didn't know if I actually wanted to knock at the door. 

"Yeah, I'll be right-" Stefan was looking back at Caroline who stood by the door. "Elena?" I made eye contact with the two of them, dropping my small bag and breaking down into tears. Stefan's eyes watered and when he wrapped his arms around me I found my vision getting blurry and I slowly lost consciousness in his arms. 

.:+*Later on*+:.

"Well, at least I'm glad she's ok..." I felt a hand caress my cheek causing me to slowly wake up. Damon sat next to me. He had a soft look in his eyes. Shocked by seeing me wake so soon. 

His eyes seemed filled with pity and guilt. "Damon." I looked at his eyes and couldn't help but compare to Klaus' eyes. He didn't have the same feelings that Damon did. Klaus' eyes were always filled with more kindness. "Don't look at me like that. There were some bumps along the road. You guys were my go-to place despite everything that has happened..." I forced a smile, my eyes burning while I held back my tears.

I can't remain in a room alone with Damon... he was the one I hurt the most and I don't know how to talk to him. I stood from the bed past him, walked down the stairs while tightly holding on to the handrail. My body felt weak, fragile as if I would break at any moment. 

I ignored the pain shooting through my body and remained in my two feet. I smelled the bourbon from their glass cups. I felt a slight disgust but decided to ignore that as well. They looked up at me, their eyes widened. 

"Elena," Caroline slowly stood up and smiled before rushing to hug me. She wrapped her arms around me tightly and I used up all the strength in my body to not fall. I continued to hold the tears in and not cry in front of them. 

"Caroline... I- I..." I don't have an excuse for anything. 

"I missed you very much. We all did." She interrupted me as tears were forming in her eyes. Hugging me once more.

She pulled back and I turned to look at Stefan who tried to avoid eye contact. He smiled and I rushed to hug him. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me. "I missed you, Elena..." he whispered. I can't believe I told him not to look for me so harshly. I felt my knees go weak and I stumbled on the floor. Dammit, what's going on?

"Oh, my Goodness Elena!" Caroline helped me up along with Stefan as I saw Damon leaning against the door frame while staring at my every move. His arms crossed and he somehow seemed, mad. Angry?

I sighed and looked around the place. "Where's Bonnie?" they all smiled and pointed downstairs. "Do you mind if I go see her?"

"Oh no, we'll bring her to you. You don't seem all too well. Stay here," Caroline handed me a cup of bourbon. I stared at the cup. Utterly disgusted by it. Sighing, I placed it on the table next to me. 

"Elena," Bonnie came from the hallway and looked right at me. A clearly forced smile clear on her face. "I missed you very much," she said as I softly hugged her. 

My strength had given up on me almost completely. The reason is still not clear. 

"Why are you here?" Bonnie pulled away from the hug and I looked down at my lap. Touching her hand to let her see Klaus and everything that happened between the two of us. Like a forbidden love. I can't be close to him. It's best for the two of us.

Her eyes widened and I softly smiled. "Can you please find a way to keep me off witch radar until he finally stops looking for me?" I practically begged her to help me out. 

She sighed and looked at me, nodding. "Don't worry about it. I got it, just give me a day," she hugged me and stood up. 

"Thank you, really" I slowly stood up and slightly stumbled, Damon rushing to prevent me from falling. He stared at my eyes and softly smiled. 

His hand ran down my spine, causing me to feel a large amount of pain in my stomach. "Aaaauuughhh...." I cried out in pain. Consciousness soon drifting out of me.
