The Private School

Chapter 38

(A/N: I know I seem to be doing these notes on every chapter now, please if you haven't done so already, check out my new story I've started posting on here, 9 Years Later, I've been working on it all year and finally ready to share it with everyone and see what you all think of it. Thanks again for the continuous support with this story, I have like 3 readers that comment on every chapter to say they love it, thanks you guys, your comments mean a lot to me, considering I am a crap writer, lol, thanks again!! I WILL JUST SAY ONE MORE THING, A WARNING FOR THIS CHAPTER, IF YOU'RE AN EMOTIONAL PERSON, YOU MAY NEED A BOX OF TISSUES OR TWO, PLEASE ENJOY) 

It's been a few weeks since I was beaten up, I've been lucky enough to have healed pretty quickly, I'm still a bit sore but not nearly as bad as then, I don't take notice of any pain now. The bruising has gone down almost completely, course it has only been a few weeks. Frankie and Luke did their detentions and Stefan didn't go easy on them, they wrote the apology letters and read them to me, and they did seem very sorry. Stefan must have traumatised them.

It's after school and I have just finished eating my dinner while watching TV, I have done most of my school work, Mr Thompson is really setting the bar high for me with the extra work, which I do appreciate, he has faith in me.

I wash up my dinner plate and sit down to watch more TV, of course I am having an NCIS marathon, although I have recently started watching Greys Anatomy which I am getting really into.

I hear my phone vibrating from the table and see it's a text from Stefan, his number is still saved as 'Justin' which amuses me, even now. I pick up my phone and view the text.

'Meet me by my car ASAP, remember not to be seen x' It reads. That's a strange text. Maybe he's taking me out somewhere nice again, like the date on the hill.

'I'll be there in 10 x' I send back. I go to my bedroom and find Stefan's jacket in there, it's October now so the weather is starting to cool down a lot. Plus his jacket has been sat in my wardrobe for months. I didn't forget about it, it's just been hot weather so I haven't worn it. I put it on and put the hood up so nobody can see it's me, if they see me. I grab my room key and double check my phone is in my pocket. Once I'm ready I quickly make my way out of the dorm area so I'm not seen, once I'm outside it won't matter so much.

I walk across the grounds and eventually get to the car park where I see Stefan in a dark hoodie approaching his car. We meet at his car and he immediately pulls me into a hug.

"Hey, is everything ok?" I ask concerned, he doesn't seem happy.

"My grandmother is dying, she's on her deathbed" He says, hearing that plasters shock on my face.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry to hear that, is that where you're going now? To see her?" I ask, considering we've met up by his car, he must be going to be with her.

"Yeah, that's where we're going now" He says as he starts making his way to his side of the car. We? I'm going with him?

"Stefan maybe I should stay here, stay out of the way, it's a family situation and I'm not family" I point out. I feel so bad for him and his family. He stops what he's doing and walks back over to me, he takes my hands in his and looks at me, examining me.

"Addison listen to me, you are my family, you are a huge part of me, part of my world, you have been my family since you met everyone" He says seriously. That's so sweet of him. "I need you now, I need you to be here with me, be with me and the family, I need you" He says. If he needs me, then I'm going to be there for him, just like he is there when I need him.
