The Twilight Diaries

Chapter 20

I'm sorry for the long wait, but now I can focus on my story and keep current updates.

STEFAN'S POV

"Elena?" I stared down at the beautiful girl that held my heart dearly, but my eyes wander down to the gaping wound in her chest. My hand moved to my mouth immediately, keeping from screaming out.

"What happen to you?" I know she had to be part of my imagination, but that didn't ease the tension. I wanted nothing more to run over to her and lock her into a hug.

Elena followed my gaze and she just stared at it for a minute and whispered, "I'm dying." She looked back up at me with unshed tears.

I turned away from her and shut my eyes and tried to will myself awake. "You're not real. You're not real. You're not real." It became my mantra in the matter of seconds. I felt a light touch on my shoulder. I remained still, repeating the mantra in my head.

"I don't know what's going on, but I believe my subconscious conjured you in my mind to help me cope to move on." She said.

I didn't get a chance to respond, because we were suddenly in the school hallways. I looked ahead and saw memory Elena and Bonnie staring at me, while I was in the office.

"Bonnie, you can't even see his face. How do you know he's hot?" Elena asked, amused by her friend.

Without breaking concentration, Bonnie said, "Look at that back, Elena! That back belongs to an hot guy." She said. Bonnie waved her hand up and down towards me. "Plus, look at that butt, Elena." Bonnie smirked.Elena and memory Elena both erupted in giggles.

I looked at Elena and her eyes were glossy with tears. I didn't realize it right away, but I could feel her emotions. She wanted to break down.

"One of my happiest memories." Elena nudged her head towards behind me. I didn't even notice that the memory changed. I turned around and saw me and Elena in front of the Salvatore Boarding House. It was night time and it was a memory of the night of the comet.

"You're beautiful, Elena." Memory Stefan said. I could see that Elena was blushing furiously.

"Thank you, but I didn't come here for flattery, not that I'm complaing,..." Elena smirked before continuing, "... but I came here to apologize." She said.

Memory Elena stared down at her feet, but memory Stefan gently tilted her head up. "Elena, you know you can talk to me anytime. You were only saying how you feel. I want you to be honest." Memory Stefan said.

Memory Elena propped herself up on concrete banister. "Yeah, but I could have been a little sympathetic. The truth is that I'm scared Stefan that what happened between us was just my imagination. You're the first person I could talk to and you don't realize how much you have helped me." Memory Elena stared at memory Stefan. Memory Stefan moved towards memory Elena. He takes her hands in his.

"Vice versa, Elena. You have kept me afloat when I was just sinking in this dark abyss. I am not going anywhere, unless you want me to." Memory Stefan pleaded.

Memory Elena kissed memory Stefan passionately. All his anguish washed away, replaced with peace. Memory Elena pulled away, catching her breath. "Hope that answers your question." They both smirked at each other, then resumed watching the comet.
