A Dream Of Flying

Chapter 13

'Faye?'' He looked at her still surprised. ''What..are you..doing here?'' he asked awkwardly, scratchig his head.

''I just moved here. What a strange coincidence.'' She smiled brightly, showing her white teeth, wrapping her arms around him. He patted her on the back, wanting to escape from her grip. She finally pulled away.

''Yeah..it is.'' He smiled quite nervously. ''Are you then going to school?''

''Yeah, I am. Hey! You could show me around.''

''Uhm..actually..I have to go meet up with my girlfriend,'' he said, trying to make her sure of that he was unavailable and that he had a girlfriend.

''Oh..'' she said, sounding disappointed. She then folded her arms. ''Who is she? What's her name?''

''Elena, gotta run. See you later.'' He ran off before she could say anything more and hoped he wouldn't bump into her again. Faye and Stefan used to date, a long time ago. He liked it at first but broke it off when she became obsessive, got involved in his business and became to suffocating. Fortunately he moved out of town later, but thought it weird that now she was here, in the same town as he was. All he knew was that he had Elena, and he was madly in love with her.

Ever since Zac had left Stefan he couldn't stop thinking about the things he said to him, about Selena. His words echoed in his mind. He rubbed his head, getting a headache from thinking so much. He then decided to go to her house becaus he knew he wanted to talk to her about what happened between them, how they kissed and what he said to her. It was harsh, very harsh.

He drove to her house and stepped out of the car. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. ''Selena, I know your in there. I can hear you breathing.'' She then opened the door, an unamused look on her face.  ''Selena, I just want to say..''

''Don't bother saying it, you already did..''

He sighed. ''Gosh, will you just listen to me.''

''Uhmm..let me think..no!'' She was about the shut the door but he blocked it. ''Your afraid aren't you..you don't wanna be with me because your scared. Your scared that I will leave you because of the life you have.''

She hissed, folding her arms. ''Why would that even scare me?'' 

''Because I'm a pilot, I can jump on a plaine and fly away..'' And he knew he was getting through to her, he had hit her in the right spot. And he knew she hated it.

Selena had to speak. ''I don't know what your talking about.'' All of a sudden a voice interrupted them, it was a figure Zac recognized. It was her brother, Jake.

''What is going on? Is something wrong?''

''No nothing,'' Zac assured him.

Jake didn't keep his eyes off his sister. ''Selena?''

''I'll just go..'' Zac said walking away.

''Zac,'' Selena said and he turned around but from there, Selena remained silent. Zac just hissed and went to his car and drove off.

''Are you okay?''

''It's complicated,'' she said and shut the door, walking past her brother.

Elena and Stefan were at his place, eating dinner. ''You've been quiet.'' Elena broke the ice and he looked at her, trying to seem normal.

''Just don't have anything to say...'' he said, taking a bite of his pizza.

''Anything interesting happened today?'' she asked him.

''No.'' He quickly shook his head.

''Stefan, I'm your girlfriend. I know it when your nervous, like you are right now.''

He sighed, putting his half eaten pizza on his plate. ''I bumped into an ex girlfriend today.'' She lifted her chin, barely looking at him. He put his hand on hers. ''Don't worry, it's not like that. I know that I love you and I want to be with you, no one else. You are the woman that I love.'' She nodded, smiling and they kissed each other.

Jake was walking by himself in an alley, he liked life a lot better now. He hated himself for what he had done to Selena, how he treated her and hit her. Now, he was sober and he was helping her. He loved his sister, she ment the world to him. They had no dad, and a mom that was drunk all the time. He knew he had her, and she had him and that ment alot to him.

All of a sudden, he felt something cold against his back. He knew what it was. A knife, and it went right through him. He collapsed on the ground, bleeding.
