Who: Katherine deceptivekitty and Stefan tohaveloved What: Stefan wants to thank Katherine in person When: After this Where: Stefan's apartment Rating: tbd
Katherine knew that it wouldn't be long before she heard those dreaded words from Stefan. Maybe even tonight after he thanked her for her help. They seemed to actually be getting along, though. Maybe he would be nice tonight, then tell her at a later time that he never wanted to see her again. She wasn't sure which would be worse. Either way, it would hurt. She knew that he would never believe it, but she really did love him. She'd spent the last century and a half loving him and it wasn't going to go away.
She pushed that aside. She was going to go and take whatever it was Stefan wanted to tell her and she'd take it like the strong woman she was. That meant that if she was right and he would send her away for good after tonight, she wasn't going to cry no matter how much it would hurt. And if he would be kind to her for the night, well at least she'd have one truly enjoyable night with him before it all came crashing down.
She hated being a pessimist but all through this, despite all of the help Katherine had given him, Stefan made it no secret that he hated her. That while he was letting her help him it was only because he needed the help and he'd rather not deal with her if he had a choice. She knew that nothing she could do would change that. He had 145 years of hating her. Something he even admitted that he couldn't just forget. She knew that she would always lose.
When she reached his apartment, she knocked on the door and waited, not letting any of her inner turmoil show. She might have admitted she was wrong, but she wasn't going to admit for anything that he could hurt her so easily. There were some things her pride just couldn't take.
