Rose Petals (Discontinued)

Chapter Ten

Season 1: The Turning Point

Rosalie sleeps soundly in Stefan's bed. Last night, Stefan ignored Elena's wishes for her to take Rosalie to her place. He felt safe knowing she was there beside him, despite Damon just being down the hall. He knew Damon wouldn't try it again. Stefan enters the living room where his brother stands looking out the window to the woods. Stefan was jumping in glee in inside because Damon would leave. He leave Mystic Falls and the people here alone, specifically, Rosalie.

"So, have any idea where you'll go?" Stefan smiles. Damon glares at the trees.

"I don't know. London, maybe. See some friends" He blankly responds.

"You don't have any friends, Damon" The young Salvatore smirks.

"You're right, Stefan. I only have you so, where are we goin'?" Damon spins around and grins at his brother. Stefan's face falters.

"We are not going anywhere. I'm going to live my life as far away from you as possible" Damon scoffs.

"But we're a team! We could travel the world together. But, I should've known you weren't following through with your promises" Stefan scrunches his eyebrows together in confusion. "You're too absorbed in her to leave" Stefan sighs and crosses his arms. "I mean she's literally upstairs in your bed" Stefan runs to Damon and latches his fingers around his throat. Damon grunts; a smirk on his face.

"Don't test me, Damon" Stefan releases Damon and gives him a stern glare. "Now, seriously, where are you going? Cause we're not staying in this town" The stairs creak; alerting the siblings that Rosalie is coming.

She shuffles into the living room; rubbing her eyes sleepily. She was still dressed in the same clothes as yesterday Damon smirks and looks her up and down. Stefan shoves Damon and walks over to Rosalie; using his body to block Damon's view of her.

"Hey, how'd you sleep?" He smiles; pecking her forehead.

"Like a baby, how about you?" She grins; looking up into his eyes.

"Me too" Stefan stares down at her.

"I slept amazing too, thanks for asking" Rosalie frowns slightly. Stefan takes a deep breath. This is exactly why he's happy Damon's leaving.

The doorbell rings, interrupting their talk. Stefan gives Rosalie a quick smile before leaving her for the door. Rosalie exits the living room to the kitchen get some water. Stefan opens the door. Liz gives a weak smile at the younger Salvatore.

"I'm here to see Damon" She states.

"Uh, sure. Okay" Damon immediately is behind Stefan, greeting Liz with a charming smile.

"Sheriff! What a surprise!"

"Sorry to bother you but we need to talk" Liz frowns.

"Come in" Stefan looks in between the two before heading to the kitchen where Rosalie is filling out a glass with water.

Stefan smiles at the petite girl. Her hair brushing the small of back. Her pale hand turns off the silver faucet. She brings the cup to her mouth and small sip. She sets the glass down and bites her lip. She still had the vision of Damon biting her stuck in her head. But she felt like it would she'd hurt Stefan's feeling if she reacted scared. Stefan did things like that before hadn't he? Only if she knew that he was begging her mentally to hate Damon. Rosalie sighs and turns around. She jumps at Stefan sudden appearance.
