Though visiting ora was long over, it didn’t stop Stefan from sneaking into Elena’s bedroom. Elena had fallen asleep shortly after Bonnie had left. Stefan had expected Damon to be in the room, but Elena happened to be alone.
Stefan walked to the letto and sank down on it. Elena, sensing his stare, opened her eyes and frowned.
“Stefan?” she asked sleepy.
“It’s okay. Go back to sleep” Stefan hushed, regretting he woke her.
“No” Elena moaned and she sat up difficult. “I’m up” She cast him a faint, tired smile. “I’m glad te came”
“I had to come and see you, but I didn’t want to bother anyone” Stefan explained. “Where’s Damon? I figured he’d be here”
Elena shrugged. “He’s wandering around the hospital somewhere…Probably getting drunk” she mumbled, pretending not to care, but Stefan knew better.
“What happened?” Stefan asked.
“Why? What makes te think something happened?” Elena shrugged again, but cautiously looking away from her ex-boyfriend.
“Elena, don’t insult me” Stefan replied calm.
“Okay” Elena sighed, giving in. “Damon is mad at me, because I refuse to drink his blood”
Elena had expected half and half for Stefan to be furious. Damon feeding Elena his blood had always been a nerve from the past. But this time he stayed rather calm.
“I was wondering when that was going to happen” was all he said.
“You’re not mad at him?” Elena asked, a little surprised and also a bit disappointed. Wasn’t anyone on her side?
“Mad? Because he tries to save the woman he loves? Elena, if I were in his shoes, I’d probably be forcing te to drink right now” Stefan answered. “This time we don’t have an elixir to bring te back to life. If te die now, it’s for good”
“Yeah, I know that” Elena snapped irritated. “You’ll all have to let me go, eventually”
“Are te ready to let any of us go?” Stefan fired back. “Jeremy? Caroline? Bonnie? Damon? Letting go goes both ways, Elena. If te die, we’ll lose you, but you’ll lose all of us. Are te ready for that?”
Elena understood that Stefan meant well, nevertheless she turned her back on him. Stefan stood and walked out of the room.
Why didn’t anyone understand where she was coming from? Was she such a bad person for wanting to die, for wanting to give up?

The successivo morning.
A buzzing sound, coming from Caroline’s pedestal cupboard woke her up and she opened her eyes. She took her phone and opened it. She had received a message from an unknown person.
“I know what te are and we will destroy you” she read aloud. She swung her legs off the letto and searched for her ring. When she had found it she put it on and walked to the window. She shoved the curtain and stared outside.
The sky was grey. It seemed like it was going to rain.
Caroline opened the window and climbed over the edge.
“Game on, bitch” she mumbled, before she jumped and landed gracefully on the pavers.

“Where’s Barbie?” Katherine asked when Stefan was standing on the front porch of the Boarding House. She had gotten used to the sight of him with Rebekah.
“She’s out, doing something” Stefan explained vague. “Can I come in?”
Katherine shrugged and let him pass. Stefan turned around. “I’m looking for Elena. Is she here?”
“No, she’s at school. te should know that” Katherine detto uninterested.
“Not anymore she isn’t” Stefan said. “School’s over”
“Then she’s probably at the Grill” Katherine said, a little annoyed. “What do te need her for anyway?”
“I want to apologize for what happened last time she came over” Stefan said. “And I want to make sure she’s okay. I mean, I know Rebekah’s blood already left her system da now, but still, it must have freaked her out”
He looked at Katherine who stared at some point behind Stefan. Stefan quickly turned around and saw Damon standing in the doorway.
