A Love Like Their's - A Stelena Fanfic

Just Hold Me

{Later that night}

{Stefan's P.O.V}

I threw my phone on the bed after calling Elena for the millionth time and her not picking up.

It was 11 at night and I was worried.

She hadn't been answering my calls or replying to my texts.

Just as I was about to pick up my coat and head out the door, there was a knock.

"Stefan?" A meek voice said, muffled.

I knew who it was.

I threw the door open and there she was.

"Elena?" I said, relief washing over me.

"What happened? I was about to come find you. You weren't answering your phone!" I said, my panic subsiding, now that she was here.

Without saying a word, she collapsed in my arms, holding me tightly.

"Elena?" I whispered.

"Just hold me. Please." She whispered against my chest.

And so I did.

I don't know for how long we stood there like that, but I loved every moment of it.

After a few moments, I whispered, "Do you want to come in?"

She chuckled lightly against my t-shirt, "Yes. I'd like that."

Once inside, I helped her out of her jacket.

"You want something to eat?" I asked, as she settled on my bed.

"No. Just come here." She said, stretching her hands like a child.

I smiled at her before grabbing a blanket and settling next to her.

"Here." I said as I covered both of us with the blanket.

She nuzzled her head in the crook of my neck, sighing.

"Are you gonna tell me what happened?" I asked her, worried.

She sighed once again before answering my question.

"Aaron said he likes me." She whispered.

"What?" I replied, shocked.

"Yeah. And he said that it doesn't matter that I'm in love with you. He likes me anyway." She said, barely audible.

"He.......... uh.......... he tried to kiss me." She said, her voice barely a whisper.

"He what?!" I said, raising my voice.

"Stefan. It's okay. He won't do it again."

"That son of a b............." I said, but was stopped by Elena placing her finger on my lips.

She finally looked at me.

Her eyes were puffy.

"I lost a friend, Stefan." She said, almost crying.

"No one talk to my girl like that. NO ONE." I said.

"Stefan. It's alright. He didn't physically harm me." She said, rubbing her hands up and down my arm.

"I could punch the shit out of him." I said, clenching my jaw.

"Stefan! He won't do it again. I know it."

"Okay."

"I feel the safest with you." She said, after a few moments.

I smiled at her, rubbing her arms.

"Tell me. Tell me what I can do to make you feel better. Wanna watch a movie? Some popcorn? Ice Cream?" I said, jumping up.

"Mmmmmm. Movie and popcorn sounds nice." She said, closing her eyes.

"Perfect." I said, as I headed to the kitchen to pop some popcorn.

I returned with a large bowl of popcorn and handed it over to Elena.

"Which movie?" I asked.

"You pick." She said.

"Okay. Mean Girls or Frozen? Tangled or Finding Nemo?" I asked, chuckling.

Elena stifled a laugh, "Seriously? You will watch those movies with me?"

"Anything for my girl." I grinned.

"Okay. Well. Um......Tangled!!!" She said, excited.

"Tangled it is."

I put on the movie and settled next to her, her head resting on my shoulder.

"Thank You." She whispered.

"I love you." I whispered in her ear, kissing it lightly.

"I love you too." She said.
