The Private School

Chapter 47

(A/N: This is a long chapter! I hope you enjoy it, that's all I'm gonna say, but I'll reply to comments (as always) on what you think of it, but I'm not going to give anything away, enjoy)

"Stefan wake up" I hear as I am woken up from my sleep. I open my eyes, blinking a few times and see Addi sitting on the bed.

"Morning love" I say as I stretch. "What time is it?" I ask as I yawn. I'm so tired.

"About half 8" She answers. Great, I only had 3 hours of sleep, yes I was thinking for hours about what was the best thing to do.

"Ok" I say and sit up. I look over at her staring at me. "Everything ok babe?" I ask.

"Yeah, everything is fine, you want some breakfast?" She asks.

"Sure, but not right now" I answer. I lay back down and open my arms. "Come and cuddle with me" I say. She smiles and lays down next to me.

"You know, we'll be ok, don't you?" She asks. How do I tell her what I'm going to do?

"Yeah, we'll be ok babe" I say. She lifts her head up and faces me. She leans down, we close our eyes as she puts a gentle kiss to my lips.

"I wanna wake up to like this every morning, you and me laid next to each other" She says and kisses me again. So do I, believe me.

"Addison, I-I love you so much, so god damn much, I never thought I would feel this way about anyone in my life" I start. I go to continue when she speaks.

"I love you so much too, I too didn't think I'd know this feeling" She says. I sigh as I try to think of the best way of telling her what I'm going to do, I look around the room as I sit up and she moves off me. "S-Stefan what's going on?" She questions nervously.

"Addison, I've gotta tell you something" I say. "And you're not going to like it" I add as I stand up, leaving her sitting on the bed.

"You've told the police we're here, haven't you?" She questions.

"No, no, I haven't done that" I shake my head as I sit back on the bed.

"What is it then?" She asks.

"I spoke to your Dad last night, while you were asleep, I turned your phone on and he happened to call, I answered it, I told him you are ok and safe, he threatened me and begged me to take you back, I said that it was up to you, he has a lot of anger for me, and worry for you, which I get-" She interrupts me.

"But you just said it's up to me if we go back, and I choose not to" She says.

"Addison, you're all that he has left, we're not thinking properly, yesterday we were in shock over what has happened, we don't want to do anything we're going to regret" I say.

"I don't regret doing this Stefan, and is that why you couldn't sleep with me last night? Because we were in shock?" She questions.

"You know that I want you in every way, but I can't, not like this" I say.

"Stefan, we're not going back" She argues.

"I'm not going to take you away from your Dad, I won't. He might not be all that you have left, but you're pretty much all that he has left, he loves you so much, he can't lose you, not after losing your Mother" I argue back.

"No!" She yells.

"We're not thinking properly, or rather, you're not, there's no other way out of this babe, I'm not going to have us spend the rest of our lives running and hiding, you deserve better than that, and so does your Dad" I argue, without raising my voice a lot. She gets up and leaves the room. Great.
