The night had been horrible. From the moment Jeremy and Tyler got into a fight to thinking Stefan had been hurt, then Damon trying to kiss her... She hadn't thought it could get any worse until Mr. Tanner had been killed. She'd taken some comfort from Stefan's arms around her, and the words he'd murmured. Things would get better, they had to.
Changing into pajamas, her eye caught the necklace Stefan had given her. And her smile widened for a moment, finger trailing along the locket. It had been very sweet of him. But, not wanting the chain to get tangled while she slept, she placed it on her bedside table, tossing and turning for a bit before she drifted off, dreams luckily not filled with visions of that night. In fact they were peaceful, Elena still in bed, her bedside light still on as she snuggled under her duvet.
