I’ve just finished chapter 7 and 8. And a LOT has happened! Let’s start with chapter 7. They were at the schoolprom, and Elena finally talked to Stefan and asked him to dance. But then everything got ruined by Caroline, who actually is Stefan’s promdate. Damn, Elena’s disappointment, chock, anger, sadness, and well, everything, I could feel it myself. And that wasn’t fun.

Anyway, after that, she gets complitely out of control, she goes to Tyler Smallwood, gets drunk, and then she goes with Tyler, Vickie Bennett and Dick to the graveyard, where some really strange things happen. Elena want’s to go back to the prom, but Tyler convinces her to come with him to his family grave. At first, she doesn’t want to, but then she follows anyway. When they’re there, Tyler almost rapes her! He tears apart her dress, hits her, and tries to kiss her. But she manages to bite his hand, which kind of caught him off guard. And suddenly Stefan is there, and he saves her. And well, he beats the crap out of Tyler. Well deserved, I think, because Tyler really is a big asshole. (Sorry, but it’s the truth!)
Well, short cunclusion of chapter 7 there. But it was a really exciting chapter to read, especially what happened in the graveyard, because at first I couldn’t see Stefan coming, so I thought that Elena would get both raped and abused. But no, Stefan the hero shows up! And thank God for that.

In chapter 8, Stefan takes Elena to the boarding house, so that he can give her a ride home, but they goes up to his room first. And they finally start to talk. Or, at first, Elena is the only one talking. There’s so much she wants to say to him, and this is her chance. Actually, some of it was so good and capturing that I’ll post a summary of it later. But anyway. After Elena’s “speech” to Stefan, he gives her the answers she deserves. And then, when she almost “sees” into his soul, and sees his misery, she can’t resist going to him and taking his hand. At first he rejects her, but two seconds later he kisses her instead.It was a kiss that they’ve both been longing for, for so long. When Stefan drives her home some hours later, the first thing they see at Elena’s house is like 2 or 3 police cars, and a lot of worried people. Meredith and Bonnie is there, and they tell Elena that Vickie Bennett har been attacked by some kind of animal. The chapter ends with Elena telling the police and her aunt about what Tyler did…

After these two chapters, it feels like there's finally starting to be a little more interersting, because until now, the books has been all about Elena's desperate attempts to get Stefan. And even though she has hm now, I don’t think her fight for him is over, not at all. So now I’m excited to read the next chapters, just to see what happens!
