He arrives promptly on the 295th second of waiting, just like she knew he would.
Good thing too, because everything is starting to get fuzzy.
His brow is furrowed as he pulls her up from the water.
Immediately, she coughing up water and all the deep secrets she's kept buried for so long.
Quickly, he tightly wraps towels around her body, making sure to hold his breath.
He hugs her shivering body tightly, protecting her from the cold.
This is what it feels to be loved, Elena thinks.
"What were you thinking?" he asks furiously. He smothers her with kisses, runs her hands through her wet hair and feels her heart pound against her chest. "For how long? Answer me, Elena. How long?"
She throws her head back, tears flowing down with happiness, knowing. Knowing that he would always be the one to save her. Because she truly loved him.
Stefan.
He arrives earlier than expected on the 267th second of waiting, just like she hoped he would.
Good thing too, because everything is starting to get fuzzy.
His eyes are red and his face is livid as he pulls her up from the water.
Immediately, she's coughing up water and all the deep secrets that he's known all about the whole time.
Quickly, he doesn't wrap something around her body to protect her porcelain skin.
He slaps at her face roughly, not bothering to protect her from himself.
This is what it feels to be alive, Elena thinks.
"What the fuck were you think?" he asks furiously. He is angry with her, yelling at her face and pressing kisses on her jawline harshly. "You thought I didn't know? Tell me, Elena. Didn't think I knew?"
She throws her head back, shaking from the bitter cold and the mixture of laughter and sobs, knowing. Knowing that he would always be the one to know the true her. Because he truly loved her.
Damon.
They both don't show up and Elena knows they won't by the 304th second of waiting, just like they all knew.
Good thing too, because everything is starting to get fuzzy. (And she doesn't want to wait for death any longer.)
Her mouth is curved upward and her eyes start lose most sight of the ceiling.
Immediately, the tears well up, and mix with the pink bathwater, sitting in the tub along with all her secrets that know one ever knew about.
Quickly, she starts losing the feeling in her finger tips and thighs; her whole body going numb .
She pinches at her thighs, unable to get a grip of her body.
This is what it feels like to be forgotten, Elena thinks.
"Why did I let myself think?" she asks, solemnly out loud. The words are incoherent, a garble of bubbles as she continues to speak. "Let myself think that they cared? Don't be idiotic, Elena. Why did you fool yourself?"
She throws her head back, inhaling more water deeply, knowing. Knowing that they had better things to worry about and that she was pathetic to expect to be saved. But it didn't matter. Because she wanted to die.
Death.
A/N: Basically, I gave you three scenarios of what it would be like if Stefan/Damon/Death came. I don't know which is reality, you can decided. I'm having mixed feelings, especially after 2x01. I'm still in shock. Leave a review so I know what you think! I might even go back to some happy stuff. Although, what Damon is kinda making it hard. I don't be liking Elena too much after Katherine. Sexy BAMF. So is Stefan. And Tyler/Jeremy. Be prepared because I'm inspired.
Oh, leave a review. Did I say that already?
