Future and dreams

The chiming sound of the bells announced his arrival as the young Salvatore entered the Mystic Grill. The sound of people chattering and the greasy smell of food greeted him as he looked around the large room, searching for the familiar faces of his friends. Noticed them on the corner of the room, he headed towards his group of friends and took a seat on the empty chair beside Elena.
A huge smile instantly appeared on her beautiful face as she turned to hug him, "I'm glad you're here," she said, relief to finally see him after he told her he took a day for himself. Elena knew it was a stressful week for them. With everything that's going on in her life from being adopted to being a sacrifice for some vampire dude, let just say she never ever going to complain how bored her life was from now on.
What worse that she couldn't help but to feel guilty about it. I mean, all of her friends and family were pulled into this huge mess just because she was someone doppelganger. At the end of all of this, she couldn't help but wondered if she really worth all of this trouble.
Shaking her head to dismiss the heavy thoughts inside her head, she withdrew her arms to herself and looked at her boyfriend, "How was your day?" she asked him as she ignored the conversation happened around her to give him her full attention.
The said man returned her smile and shrugged as he took his glass from Elena. He thanked her for the drink and circled the rim of his glass with his finger, "It was fine," he answered, reminisced his day in the town square, "I spend most of it just lounged around the town square. Enjoying the fresh air. It's been awhile since I enjoyed a time for myself."
"I'm glad," Elena smiled as she took his empty hand into hers, "With everything that's going on, everyone deserves a day to themselves."
Stefan squeezed her hand back and turned his attention to his friends, trying to forget about his encountered with a certain someone. As he listened to their conversation, his minds couldn't help but wandered away as he mused about the recent event happened around them.
Ever since Katherine's returns, he couldn't help but noticed a distance between him and his girlfriend. It all started from Damon's confession when he told him about the kiss he had with Elena, which turned out to be Katherine herself. From there, he noticed the sudden shift in their relationship. He could see how much she tries to please his brother, siding more and more to his idea and action then he himself. And to see this happen before his very eyes, he couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy as well as sadness as his minds instantly recalled the same situation he had with his brother back then with Katherine.
He swallowed the sour taste inside his mouth and stood up from his seat towards the bar. He ordered for a refill and decided to sit there instead. He thanked the bartender and placed his glass on top of the wooden bar, silently watched the ice cubes melted into his drink.
