I Had To Know Her

Chapter 35

Elena's POV:

I woke up this morning, well not morning just yet, it was about 4:30am, to a call, from the police, telling me that my boyfriend was just involved in a car accident and it was his fault. He was drinking, and driving which is against the law in the state of Georgia in which we live. He broke the law, while breaking a couple bones in his body along the way.

I didn't have time to think about the mistake that he made, because that will be dealt with at a later time because he needs me more than ever right now. He was right there, by my side, when I got hit by a car on my way to school a couple months ago, so now I need to go be with him.

I arrived at the hospital about 20 minutes after I got the call, looking like a mess because I got about 2 hours of sleep and was still in my pajamas and my hair was a mess. I wasn't fully awake but the driving and walking around was starting to make me more alert of my surroundings.

I went up the front desk, and they told me that he was still being examined by doctors at the moment because he only got here 20 minutes ago. They told me to take a seat and I did as told, taking a seat right across from the desk so they could tell me right when I was able to see him.

About an hour went by, but it felt way longer than that, and the nurse at the desk called me up and gave me a room number. I didn't hesitate to start running, and went up the stairs and to the room. I walked inside, and there he was, broken.

He didn't even look like himself, he looked like a whole new person, but the new Stefan was not one I would like to see everyday.

His face had dry blood all over the place, with cracks following the blood, and stitches were in place of those. His arm was wrapped up in a cast-like brace. His head had a white bandage around it, and his chest was exposed to the rest of the world, with cuts in every spot.

His eyes were open, and he looked straight at me, seeing that my mouth was basically on the ground from what my eyes were seeing.

''Elena-'' He whispered so quietly that I barley even heard him.

''Stefan...'' I said, quietly, moving myself a little closer to him, and taking a seat at his bedside.

He reached his hand out to me, and I grabbed it, feeling him squeeze his fingers around the outside of my hand. 

 A single tear fell down my face and Stefan used the hand he was using to hold mine, to whipe it off my face. He always knew how to make me better when I was upset, but I shouldn't be the one getting all worked up right now, because he is the one who needs me.

''How are you feeling?'' I finally said.

''I'm, uh, better. It really sucks to be laying here in this hospital bed right now when I could be at my house laying in bed with you.'' He said, with a little smile.

''Stop thinking and worrying about me for just one moment, and focus on yourself.'' I said.

''I can never stop thinking about you, but okay, I'll tell you more about how IM feeling. I hurt all over, my arm is broken and they are going to be putting a cast on it in a couple days, but for now I just have this wrap. That's the only broken bone, but I have these scratches and cuts all over the place that hurt just as bad, and I got a few stitches on my face and those should be taken out in a couple days. I'll be fine, don't worry about me and just tell me how your day was.'' He said.

He can be going through so much, hurting all over, broken bones and all and still not have a single care in the world besides me. As much as I loved the attention, sometimes I wish he focused a little more on himself and maybe this accident wouldn't of happened in the first place.

''It was good, until now. It's like 6 in the morning, I'm so tired and I was so worried about you. What were you doing out late, drinking and then getting into your car when you knew something like this could happen? Are you stupid?'' I said, getting a little angry thinking about it.

''I don't know what I was doing to be honest with you, babe. I just wanted to go home, and was getting bored and all so I thought I was able to drive a couple blocks but I guess not. I'm so stupid.'' And after that, all he could do was repeat it. I'm so stupid. I'm so stupid.

''Yes, you are. Very stupid. But we all make mistakes. I'm very angry about this mistake but I'll get over it, as long as you promise to never do anything like this again, and to stop drinking when you get upset, or when you're with your friends, because you get to crazy.'' I said.

''I know, I know. I will, I promise. I will work on not drinking so much and getting crazy and if I do somehow again, I will not step foot into a car.'' He said.

I smiled a little bit and leaned down to kiss him.

''Ouch!'' He screamed.

''Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry!''

''Nope, you didn't hurt me, babe, okay well maybe you did, but just a litte bit and I don't care at all because I've been waiting to kiss you since the moment you stepped into the room.''

''You're crazy, Stefan Salvatore.''

''But I'm your crazy guy.'' He said, with a stupid smirk on his face.

''Yes you are.''

Stefan Salvatore is mine, even though sometimes he finds himself in situations like this, acts crazy, and only thinks about other people than himself most of the time. He's all mine.
