I Had To Know Her

Chapter 28

Stefan's POV:

I woke up early that next morning. I knew that because it was just starting to get light out. I didn't bring my phone or an alarm clock so I had no idea of the time, but I knew it was early morning.

I rose from my sleeping bag, and packed up my stuff quickly. I needed to get out of the woods, and back home to be with my everything. Elena. I could just imagine her laying in her bed, with her hands laying down on her pillow and her head covering them. In her pink nightgown she always wears to bed. I just wanted to be lying next to her.

Once everything was packed up and I was in the clear, I walked over to my car before packing all my belongings into my truck, slamming it shut, and walking up the drivers seat.

I put the keys in, heard my car start up, and drove away. Back home.

--------------------------------

Elena's POV:

I woke up and the clock read 7:41. I couldn't sleep much. I was too worried about what Stefan was doing. I had no contact with him so I had no clue if he was coming home today, if he found the cure, or even if he's safe at the moment.

I just had to hope for the best.

I got out of bed and got ready to start my day. I made myself a pot of coffee and put my robe on, holding my mug in my hand, waiting for it to heat up.

I poured myself a cup once it was ready, and took a seat on the couch, putting my glasses on that were sitting on the table next to me.

I can never see straight in the morning, and I always had to put on my glasses then, I didn't put my contacts in until after I was dressed and ready for the day.

I sipped my coffee slowley, and stared at the pictures that were set on the fireplace across from me.

Pictures of my family. My mom. My dad. Jeremy.

I just sat there and remembered the memories that were filled in those pictures. I would do anything to be able to relive one of those moments. 

I tried not to upset myself too much. I missed them more than words could ever explain, but I've been taking depression medicine lately, and I haven't really told anyone about it, but it helps me. I don't want to think about the fact that I have depression, and I deffinetly didn't want others to know about it, so it will be my little secret.

After I was finished with my coffee, I walked upstairs and put on a plain black shirt, with some jean shorts. I threw my hair up into a high pony tail and applied a little bit of make-up before making my way back downstairs.

I was suprised at the knock on the door.

I opened the door, and there he was. Someone I was not expecting to be there.

Stefan.

My boyfriend.

He was right there, standing in front of me, which means only 2 things, he either found the cure and is cured, or he was dissapointed in not being able to find it, and came back early.

''Stefan.'' I said.

''Elena.'' He said, with a smile.

''What... What are you doing here? I thought you were-''

''I was. I was there, in the woods, in the middle of nowhere. But now I'm here, standing right in front of you.'' He said.

''But-'' I started to say.

''But nothing. I'm here, and guess what? I'm not a monster anymore. I'm not a vampire. I'm cured, Elena. I'm normal and I'm human and I love you.'' He said before running towards me and picking me up into his arms.

He kissed me with so much force and I did the same back.

I grabbed the sides of his face and smashed my lips onto his again, and again.

He pushed me against the wall and grabbed my thighs.

He held me as he walked up the stairs of my house, and up into my bedroom. His lips not leaving mine.

He layed me down on the bed, and then layed himself on top of me.

He continued to kiss me, from my lips all the way down to my stomach.

He looked my in the eyes for a moment before lifting up my shirt, and removing it from my body.

I did the same too him, taking his shirt up and over his head.

We continued removing clothing until every last piece was lying on the floor next to my bed that we were on.

We pulled the covers up and over us, and our bodys were tangled in the sheets.

------------------------

I woke up after what seemed like hours, and looked over at the handsome man that was laying by my side. I smiled to myself, realizing that he was all mine.

''You're staring.'' He said, and I didn't realize that he was awake.

''I'm gazing.'' I said back, smiling.

''It's creepy.''

''It's romantic.'' I said back, before I saw him smile and put a pillow over his face.

''Stoooooop! Look at me!'' I said, laughing, and he took the pillow from his face and looked me straight in the eyes.

''I don't ever get sick of looking at you.'' He said.

We layed there for a moment, and Stefan ran his fingers up and down my back.

''Stefan. I know that we just had a moment, and that we are just enjoying being with each other after being apart, but I want to know what happened out there. Talk to me.'' I said.

''Well, I went out there, and made a tent for myself, and walked around for a while, in the dark. I walked around until I found a tree, and it was THE tree that I was looking for. It was the tree that was supposed to change my life forever, and it did. Because here I am, sitting right here in front of you, after taking some of those leaves and putting them into some water, and becoming normal, I'm right here and I'm human. That's it.'' He finally said.

I started at him for a monent, and the only words that I was able to say, because I felt speechless was ''I love you, just the way you are but I'm so happy for you.''

This is a new beggining.
