Stefan's POV
"Stefan, you can't just leave early." Damon states as I shake my head. "I have to go, Damon." I tell him as he looks down. "Stefan, I get that she left but-"
"No! I have to go look for her." I say, pushing past him. I get in the car, hoping I'd see her walking home.
After a few minutes, I see her walking down the sidewalk, her hands to her side.. I roll down the window as I slightly shout. "Come on, Elena. Get in the car." She walks a little faster as I brake the car. I close the door and walk towards her. I notice tears streaming down her cheeks as I go to wipe them but she steps back.
"Here. Take it." I tell her while handing her my jacket. "Thank you." She sniffles as I look at her. "Elena, please just get in the car."
"It's fine I'll walk home." I look at her and I open my mouth to talk. "I'm fine, Stefan!" She shouts, making me jump a little. "Oh, I'm- I'm sorry." She says as I nod.
I take a step closer to her, causing her to look down. I clear my throat before I say "Elena, I would never hurt you. What he did to you was horrible and he made a mistake because if I ever see him, he won't be able to even breathe anymore." I tell her as she laughs. "That's sweet, Stef."
"Stef." I whisper as I grin. "What?" She says as I chuckle. "I like that... Stef." I say as she puts a strand of hair behind her ear. "Anyway, I gotta go home, Stefan." She says. "Please, Elena. Let me take you home." I beg. "Why do you care so much?!" She shouts as I cup her cheeks in my hands. "Because you make me crazy! I can't stop thinking about you and all I want to do is be with you!" I shout back.
"All I want to do is hear your voice," I shout "and you're on my mind twenty four seven." I finish as I turn around. I run my fingers through my hair. "You know what?" I say as I turn back around. I speed walk towards her before our lips collide.
Elena's POV
It happened. We were in sync. It's almost as if our lips were made for each other. I slowly pull away as look up at him. "Now.. would you please get in the car?" He asks as I nod. He opens the door for me as I sit down. I smile and zone out. I hear the door open, causing me to look up.
The rest of the ride home is silent. I can't help but smile every few minutes. The butterflies in my stomach are still there and I feel like it's getting harder to breath. He pulls into my driveway and gets out to open my door.
"You don't always have to open my door, Stefan. But, thank you, anyway." I thank him and he nods. "I know I don't." He says. We're standing in the driveway. "Oh! Here's your jacket." I tell him while taking it off. "No, it's fine. You can keep it."
"Stefan, it's fine-" "Keep it." He interrupts as I nod. "Thank you for today, Stefan." I say with a huge grin on my face. "I had a lot of fun. It was nice meeting your brother." "No problem." He says before pulling me into a hug.
That's when it happens. When all the tears come out. I sob onto his shoulder as he plays with my hair. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I was scared-"
"Elena... you went through a hard time which wasn't your fault. I understand that you're skeptical or whatever. Don't ever be sorry for it." He tells me as I nod.
I pull away, our faces inches apart. I can smell his aftershave as he licks his lips. You can cut the tension with a knife. I breath in and out, watching his every move. A slight breeze blows my hair.
Stefan places his thumb on my cheek and his other hand on my lower back, pulling me closer to him. I slightly gasp as he puts his lips against mine. I cup his face with my hands as we're passionately kissing, wind blowing making my hair and dress shift.
He pulls away slowly as we rest our foreheads on each other (our foreheads touching). I sigh before saying "Goodbye, Stefan." I walk up onto the step as my door opens. "Just friends, huh?" I hear Jermey say as I nervously laugh.
"Eh, hi, Jeremy." I say nervously as he laughs. He makes kissy noises as I scoff. "Ha-Ha so funny." I say as he nods. "Exactly." He reply's as I roll my eyes. "I'm going upstairs. Goodnight." I say as he nods.
I jump up at Caroline and Bonnie squealing as I'm walking into the room. "What the hell, guys?" I ask as Bonnie laughs. "Omg, we saw you two kiss!" Caroline squeals as I scoff. "Whatever." I say as Bonnie shakes her head. "No, no, no. It's not 'whatever'. You two kissed! Was it your first time kissing him?" She asks as I shake my head.
Caroline dramatically gasps as I open my mouth to speak. "The first time was tonight.. at the wedding. Chill." I say as Caroline looks at me. "Oh, Stefan! Kiss me!" Bonnie says with distress. "Oh, Elena. Let me kiss you." Caroline says in a deep voice as I roll my eyes.
"You guys are so immature." I tell them as I throw a pillow at them. "We are not. You two kissed! Wow." Caroline says as Bonnie shakes her head up and down. "I knew it! I told you so many times you two will kiss or something." Bonnie squeals as I roll my eyes. "Guys, I'm tired." I say as I start slipping off my dress.
We've been best friends since we were little so it's fine. I put on a pair of shorts and sweatshirt. "I just need some sleep." I yawn as I go under the covers. "That's fine. We'll harass you in the morning." Caroline sneers as Bonnie smirks. "Will do." I reply. They leave the room as I fix my hair. I instantly fall asleep as my head hits the pillow.
