9. Stefan

You couldn't sleep

Damon had been the person to find you in the woods of Mystic Falls. You don't remember much, but you do remember waking up on the floor confused. Not remembering how you got there, or what had happened. Damon happened to be feeding when he had heard you walking around the woods, and went to check out the sounds he had heard. He found you walking around confused and disoriented. You told him that all you remember was waking up here not knowing how you got here, but feeling this burning sensation in your throat and craving blood. He helped you through everything, and he even convinced Stefan to let you stay with them at the boarding house. Stefan at first was a little nervous about having you around. He slowly got used to having you around. He didn't get close to you till a couple of weeks ago when he had heard you talking to Damon. He made it seem like he hadn't heard anything, and decided to let you tell him when you were ready.

Tonight you were having the same problem as last night, and the last couple of months. You lay down in bed and try to get some sleep, but you end up waking up in the middle of the night because of some nightmare that you keep having. You climb out of bed and put your moccasins on and make your way out of your room. You shut the door behind you, and walk down the stairs towards the library. You look through the books once you get there until you find a romance book that looks promising. With the book in your hand you walk towards the living room. You take a seat on the love seat and open the book up.

Halfway through the first few chapters your crush for had resurfaced as it had for the last two months. You had begun to picture Stefan as the male character, and yourself as the female character.

"I thought  i heard someone down here." Stefan says as he takes a seat next you.

You close the book and put it next to you on the couch. "I'm sorry if I woke you up."

"It's alright I was up as well. If yo don't mind me asking what are you doing up?"

"I have been having these nightmares is all." You answer

"What kind of nightmares?"

You look down at your hands unable to meet his eyes. "It's off with me running away from someone, and they are chasing me. They catch up with me when I trip over a branch. I turn around to his dark shadow in the woods, and right before he's about to hurt me and step into the moonlight to show his face I wake up. I don't know why I keep having them, but I'm thinking that it has something to do with day that I was turned into a vampire." You say as you finally look up to meet his eyes.

"Hey its alright to be afraid of something even if you are a vampire." he says softly. "Here come with me." he says as he stand up. You stand up as well and follow him through the house. He goes into his room and you wait by the door. He goes to the desk looking for something when he turns and sees you by the door. "You can come in." he says as he goes to his drawers. You take a seat on his bed Indian style. He pulls something out, and smiles. He comes and takes a seat beside you.

"Something that helped me is to write down everything in journals, and i have been." he hands you a leather journal "I want you to the same. Here in this journal you can write about how your feeling, what you dream about, your hopes, and dreams. Whenever you feel like talking and Damon and myself aren't around you can jot it down in this journal so you don't forget and then show it to us."

You look down at the journal in your hand. "But this is yours."

"Consider this a gift from me to you". He says with a smile.

"Thank you so much for this Stefan." You say as you give him a hug.

"Look my brother doesn't trust people as easily. There is something special he saw in you, and I'm starting to see that as well." He says returning the hug.

You pull back and look him in the eyes. "I have a question. What if some feelings are too strong to be written?"

"Well you can talk them over with someone."

"Stefan I know that we meet a couple months ago, but I know for certain that I like you, but as more than a friend. I know that I might ruin any chance that we may have at friendship for this but I had to tell you. I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't tell you how I feel." You say as you get up with the journal in your hands. "I understand if you don't feel the same about me. " you turn around and begin to walk out.

He grabs your wrist and turns you around. He is standing right in front of you. He places his hands on your waist. "I feel the same way i just didn't know how to tell you." he says as he pulls you closer to him. "I like you too, and I'm glad that you feel the same way about me." You pull him closer and kiss him and he takes a while to respond. "How about you spend the night with me?" he asks as he puts his forehead to yours.

You nod your head and place the journal on his desk, and lay down with him, and you guys talk the night away.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wakey, wakey!!!" You Damon call out as he opens the curtains.

"Shut up and let me sleep." You call out as you pull the covers over your head.

"I thought I would be nice enough to wake you guys up, and not let you sleep the night away. Whatever last time I try to do something nice!" he stops for a minute and takes in the situation. "Wait what are you even doing in Stefan's room?"

"Nothing happened, she couldn't sleep last night, and we ended up talking the night away. We didn't realize that we had fallen asleep here."Stefan's answers

"Somehow I feel that's not the whole story, but whatever." Damon says as he leaves the room, and I cuddle more into the bed.

Stefan pulls you closer to him. "Hoe long do we have before he comes back?" You ask

"About 10 minutes." he answers

You smile and turn around and cuddle into his chest. You open your eyes and see he is till trying to go back to sleep. You poke his cheek and he opens his eyes. "We should get up." He just hold me tighter to his chest.

"Ok, but only if we can have a lazy day that's the only way I'm getting out of this bed." You smile and get out of the bed.
