Elena's Point of View

What is Depression?

Some people describe depression as "living in a black hole" or having a feeling of impending doom. However, some depressed people don't feel sad at all-they may feel lifeless, empty, and apathetic, or men in particular may even feel angry, aggressive, and restless.

Whatever the symptoms, depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any, relief.

Austin and I were driving back to my Aunt's house after our 2 night stay, and on our way to Thanksgiving dinner.
Sean and the guys are staying in the city until we go back home just incase Dean or anyone tries to pull a stunt again.

I rested my head back in my seat and closed my eyes. It wasn't so peaceful on the road with all the car honks and reckless taxi drivers.

Eveything from that night kept repeating in my head like a broken record yesterday. I'm blowing off steam in the meanwhile. The only thing is that I can't sleep. Never try to sleep when you're mad. I want that bastard dead just as much as anyone else and I know Austin will stop at nothing just for it.

"Are you okay?" I heard the infamous voice. I opened my eye's and saw Austin looking straight ahead focused on the road, his fingers tapping on the steering wheel to the faint music in the background.

"Yeah I'm tired. I just want to be back in Miami."

Our car turned into the left lane and Austin turned on the turning signal.

"We're almost at your Aunt's. The bright side is that you'll be with your family and you won't be stuck with me." He chuckled.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning." I said relieved.

"I'm never letting you out of my sight again." Austin said.

"I just want to forget about it. Let's not say anything that could remind any of us about tonight."

He gave me a sweet passonite kiss before letting me go. "Go get some rest. You need it."

I walked over to the king sized bed and pulled the blankets out. I got onto the soft matress and put the blankets over me. "Stay with me."

He grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head, exsposing his tattoos and toned abs. He got under the covers with me and I rested my head on his chest. He was so warm. The both of us just lied there peacefully under the covers.

I felt his heartbeat and smiled a little. I knew I would be safe with him.

"Hey, Austin?" I said after about 5 minutes of silence.

"Yeah babe?"

I smiled after he called me babe. It always gave me butterflies when he called me that, even when we first met.

"Why do you have all these tattoos. What do they mean?"

"Well..." He paused. "I got most of them to cover up scars from fighting."

"Oh." I whispered.

"The lion one on my bicep symbolizes courage, strength, and protection." I looked over at it and ran my fingers over it.

"Protection for the ones you care about." I responded.

"Like you." He smiled. "The crown for power and dominance."

"They're all beautiful."

"You could get a tattoo under your breast, you know for the...scar?"

I thought that was a great idea, you know after it's healed. I could get a quote or something like that to show that I was strong enough to get through tonight.

"That's not a bad idea."

"Let's get some sleep, alright babe."

"Okay."

I closed my eyes and fell asleep to the beating of Austin's heart, in his arms, where I know I'm safe.

"Elena!" My grandmother welcomed me back home. It seems like ages since I've been inside of this house.

"Austin thank you for taking care of her. No rough housing?"

I immediately got so embarrassed by her comment.

"Grandma, please."

"I'm just joking kiddos, dinner is ready. Come on."

Austin looked over at me and laughed.
"No rough housing, yet." He whispered in my ear, sending chills down my spine.

He took my hand and we walked into the dinning room where everyone was seated. Austin pulled the chair out for me.

"Thank you."

"No problem babe." He took a seat next to me.

"Alright, now all we have to do is say our prayers and then we can eat." My Aunt cheered.

"Liam will you lead?"

After the prayer we went around saying what we were thankful for.

"Austin it's your turn." My Aunt smiled.

"I'm thankful for this wonderful food on this table and the beautiful girl sitting to the right of me." Austin looked at me and my cheeks became pink.

"I'm thankful for my family being here. I grew up with really no one and it's nice to have people, you know? Also for Austin, because without him who knows where I could end up." Literally end up. Without him I would probably be dead right now, and instead of planning a dinner they would be planning a funeral.

"Let's eat!"

Finally. All this food smelled so good I couldn't wait any longer!

"Was that true about me?" I asked Austin.

"Elena, you're the most wonderful person i've met. Of course it's true."

Everyone was enjoying dinner, telling family stories and laughing. It was nice to be here with these people. Before I know it i'll be back in Miami, where shit will start again.

This chapter is dedicated to annaoreo for her amazing comment.
Remember, best comment gets a dedication.

This chapter is really suckey and I ment to rewrite it before uploading it but I never got the chance. This is one of the worst chapters I've written. THE NEXT ONES WILL BE BETTER!
If the italics part is confusing, it's just a flashback to the night Austin saved her. I know it's placed weird but you can handle it.

Oh yeah and I never got the chance to update yesterday because I was busy, it happens. I have a social life, it's not all consisted of writing fanfiction lol.
