I Had To Know Her

Chapter 20

Elena's POV:

It's been a few days since my birthday and since Stefan told me that he loved me and I said it back in return. I honestly think I really did love him. Being around him made me feel some type of way that I have never felt before. He made me feel like myself again and I haven't felt like myself since my parents died and then the whole car accident again. 

I'm finally almost a hundred perfect healed too. My leg brace comes off tomorrow and my bruises are not just left over scars. They are just a reminder of pain that is no longer there.

I was sitting at home on my couch after a long day of school, watching Jeremy play his video game but I had no idea of the name of it.

''How can you sit around all day and just stare at a screen?'' I said.

''It's easy, you just pick up a controller, and you turned on the TV, and bam, you won't be bored for hours.'' 

Boys. I'm so glad that Stefan wasn't like this and actually liked to not be lazy and get up and do things.

I decided to call him.

''Hello?'' He said.

''Hi babe.'' I said.

''How are you beautiful?''

''Great. Just wondering how you are and what you're doing and seeing if you would like to comeover for dinner. I was thinking of making something myself.''

''Elena Gilbert, making something herself? I'll pass.''

''Pass? Stefan!'' I said.

''I'm kidding babe. I'll be over in a few, to help you. So you don't have to do all the hard work yourself and maybe take the chance of breaking a nail or something.''

''Breaking a nail, pleeeeeease. Coming from the girl who went through the pain of getting hit by a car. I think I'll be fine.''

''I was only kidding, you didn't have to bring up the accident or anything. Making me feel all bad and shit.'' He said.

I laughed and hung up and went straight to the kitchen to get ready for when he came.

I decided to make spagetti, salad and some garlic bread. Jeremy's favorite actually.

I got out the pan and the ingrediants and just when I was all ready, I heard the doorbell ring and opened it to see my lovely boyfriend.

He came inside and I hugged him with full force.

''Whoa. Someone's a litle too happy to see me.'' He said, after I let go off him from the squeeze.

''What? I can't be happy to see my boyfriend?'' I said.

He smirked and I blushed and we walked over to the kitchen.

''Spagetti okay?'' I said.

''Perfect.''

We began to make the food but sometimes we got a little too distracted with eachother and would find ourselves acting like little kids and throwing food at eachother. Other times we found ourselves too involved in each other that we forgot that we were making dinner.

After all that was over, dinner was done and I called Jeremy in from sitting on the couch and Jenna was home from work and came to the table to join us all.

We all sat down at the table and tasted the food Stefan and I made and it was actually pretty good. I give all the credit for how the food tastes to Stefan because if I would of made it by myself, it would of not turned out this good.

''This is great, Stefan.'' Jenna said.

''Hey!'' I shouted. ''I helped make it too.''

She smiled and started to laugh a little bit. Nobody thinks I can cook. 

We finished up and Jeremy cleaned up the dishes and Jenna went to her desk to do some paper work as me and Stefan went up to my room and layed on my bed.

''I am so full.'' I said.

''Really? You don't even want any dessert?'' Stefan said, winking at me.

''Actually I probably won't mind some of that.'' I said, winking back at him.

He turned to the side and got up on top of me as he started to kiss my lips wtih full force and I found myself doing the same to him. He moved from my lips to my neck as he began placing kisses all the way down until I found him biting at my skin and before I knew it, he left a mark. I began to moan and move my hand to his face. We flipped over and then I was on top of him, and I did the same to him as I left a mark.

Then I noticed something, his eyes didn't look normal. They were a kid of redish color.

He turned away for a minute and then looked back at me for a glance and his teeth looked like fangs and then I pushed him off of me and he hit in the ground next to my bed.

He sat up and stared at the window and then back at me.

''Elena.'' He said. ''I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't hurt you.'' 

''What was that...'' I said, shocked.

''I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I just was in the mood with you and then something started to go wrong and my vampirism kicked in and I lost track of what I was doing. I promise I will never hurt you. I stopped myself as soon as I knew what was happening.'' He said, panicing.

''Stefan, it's fine. Calm down. Don't worry. I will never think for a second that you will hurt me. It just scared me, that's all.'' I said, getting off the bed and sitting next to him on the ground. ''You're fine. Everything is fine.''

''Good. I'm sorry you had to see that.''

I looked at him for a moment and realized that even though he might be some kind of monster, he's not going to hurt me. He said anyways that when he hurt peope, he did it in the past. This is the future and we have a future together and I need to look past it. Just forget that he even has those types of powers.

''I love you.'' He said.

''I love you, too.'' I said back.

Stefan left my house and went back to his. I went back upstairs and laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I realized that I have a crazy life, family, boyfriend, friends, everything but I was born with this life and I want to live it each and every single way that I'm supposed too, even with some problems in the way.

I wasn't even in my pajamas and didn't even have any blankets covering me but I closed my eyes and felt into a deep sleep.
