“Open the door now, Stefan! I need to talk to my sister!”
Stefan opened the door after Jeremy had banged it about twelve times.
“Alright, alright, don’t get all up tied” Stefan said as he opened the door, a blood bag in his hand. “Now, what brings you here? Something about Elena, I assume?”
“I need to talk to her” Jeremy repeated. “And you know why”
Stefan shrugged. “Why didn’t you come here last night?”
“Because I knew Elena wasn’t here. I knew she was with Alaric and her friends, I didn’t want to make a scene” Jeremy explained.
“And you were also chicken that either Katherine or I would rip you into little pieces” Stefan added.
“Can I just talk to my sister, already?” Jeremy said annoyed.
Stefan made an inviting move with his hand. “Check the rooms”
Jeremy walked inside and went upstairs, when Damon came his way. “What are you up to?” he asked without even looking at Jeremy. “I’m going to my sister. You’d be really helpful if you’d tell me where to find her” Damon grabbed Jeremy’s shirt. “Bad idea, lil’ bro. She’s not in the mood to hear any preaches”
“Damon, let go of him” Elena had appeared on top of the stairs. “I’ll talk to him”
Damon let go of him, but still looked at him threatening. “Don’t upset her”
He step aside to let Jeremy pass, but he himself just stayed where he was.
“Why didn’t you tell me a vampire attacked you and brought you to Klaus?” Jeremy asked angry.
Elena pulled her shoulders and played with her nails.
“Who told you that?” Damon asked. “Ric?”
“No, not Ric, though I thought he would’ve” Jeremy said still looking at Elena. “You thought I wouldn’t find out? You thought I’m just a little kid who doesn’t know a damn thing about anything?”
“No, Jeremy, that’s not how it’s like” Elena said quickly. “I wanted to tell you, but…”
“You were waiting for the right time?” Jeremy hissed.
“No, she just needed a break” Damon came in between. “She almost got killed by Klaus, she was this close to being werewolf food, so please give her the time of day for not considering your delicate marshmallow feelings”
“You know what, Elena?” Jeremy said trembling. “From now on you can fix your own problems”
“That’s what she always does, moron” Damon defended Elena. Jeremy turned around and ran out of the house.
“Jeremy, wait!” Elena shouted, but he ignored her. “He hates me” Elena said sad.
“He’ll come around” Damon assured her. “You hated me, too and look where we are now”
“Don’t get too cocky” Stefan said from beneath.
“You still here? I thought you left already, like to some other place in this house” Damon said looking at Stefan like he was shit.
“Are you kidding me?” Stefan said sarcastic. “I’m enjoying this way too much”
Stefan opened the door after Jeremy had banged it about twelve times.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
