Elena got out of the shower. Drying her hair with a towel she went downstairs to open the door and let Caroline in.
“Hi” she said as Caroline walked in.
“Hi” Caroline replied. “Can we talk?”
“Is it about Damon? ‘Cause then I don’t want to hear it” Elena kind of begged.
“Well, I’m sorry, but it is” Caroline said. “And I think you should hear this”
Elena shrugged. “Fine, then” she sighed. “Let’s go to my room, I don’t want Jeremy nor Ric to hear us”
And thus Caroline followed Elena upstairs. As Elena fell down on the bed she looked at Caroline. “So, what is it that I so need to know?”
“I’ve been talking to Damon” Caroline began. “And from what I came to know things aren’t like you think they are”
“Oh, so he didn’t try to force himself on me?” Elena asked sarcastic.
“You shouldn’t have said you’d go back to Stefan. That really hurt him” Caroline explained.
“Oh, well, in that case” Elena exclaimed.
“No! It doesn’t make it okay! But have you forgotten what Stefan has done? He betrayed Damon, so Bonnie could torture him. He attacked you, just to keep you away from Damon. The idea that you would go back to Stefan, after everything, only because he won’t have sex with you…”
Elena blinked while she let Caroline’s words sink in. “So he’s not jealous?”
“No, he’s just hurt. He feels like you don’t care enough to consider his feelings” Caroline said. Elena nodded. “Okay, I get that part. I was stupid, I shouldn’t have said that. But he still tried to rape me. How can I ever forgive him for that?”
Caroline shook her head. “No, you don’t understand. He was never going to rape you”
Elena raised her eyebrows. “Wow, could’ve fooled me”
“He wanted to scare you off. Right after you begged him to stop he stopped, didn’t he?” Elena nodded. “And he said sorry right after it? He wanted you to be too scared to try again”
“Why? Why did he have to do that?” Elena asked now completely confused.
“Did Damon ever tell you about his first dream about Bonnie?” Caroline asked. Elena shook her head. “You asked him to sleep together and he agreed. You kissed him, got half-naked, made him touch you. Then you rolled over and you changed into Bonnie”
“What?” Elena asked soft.
“Whenever you get intimate with him-more intimate than a kiss-he remembers how Bonnie kissed him, how she cut open his chest with her nails, how she in scripted his back with vervain, how she burned his eyes, made him feed on himself, broke his arm, how she set him on fire literally. All of that comes back when you try to sleep with him” Caroline explained.
“Oh God” Elena said breathless. “Thank God Bonnie’s gone”
“Ehh”
“What?”
“Actually, she’s not gone anymore” Caroline confessed. “Katherine locked her in the tomb and Damon helped me find her. I let her stay with me, but I told her not to go see you or Damon”
“I have to go” Elena said agitated. “Thank you for telling me this” Leaving Caroline in her room she rushed downstairs.
“Hi” she said as Caroline walked in.
“Hi” Caroline replied. “Can we talk?”
“Is it about Damon? ‘Cause then I don’t want to hear it” Elena kind of begged.

Tyler followed Matt into the men’s restroom. He first checked if no one else was there and then grabbed Matt’s arm.
“What the hell is your problem?” Matt asked surprised.
“I can ask you the same question” Tyler hissed.
“I don’t get it” Matt said confused.
“You need to knock it off” Tyler said. “Caroline doesn’t want you anymore, so you can stop with the annoying taxes”
“What taxes? Tyler, I have no idea what you’re talking about” Matt said.
Tyler pulled out his phone and showed Matt the tax he just got.
“Dude, that’s not even my number” Matt said.
“I know it’s hard to see me and Caroline together, but acting like a jealous ex-boyfriend isn’t going to put you back in her good books. So I think it’s best for both of us if you would just knock it off” Tyler threatened. He let go of Matt and left the restroom, leaving Matt dumbfounded.

I could kick myself. Why the hell had I done it? Like the stupid thing was any use to me anyway. Of course I knew why I had done it: boredom and a source of entertainment. These two things were precisely the reason why I had done many of the things I had done in my 1000 years of existence.
Now I was running from werewolves. You could say I was on their "most wanted list" which was definitely not a good thing. Werewolves hunted in packs and are a very loyal species. It was impossible to know how much of them were after me. Of course I was no stranger to being on the run which is why I never really had any real relationships. Before this…well that was a very long story indeed…
It was five minutes to Midnight. Jeremy wandered around at Fell’s Church, glancing at his watch. He looked around to see if the nurse wasn’t there yet. He heard murmur behind him and turned around quickly.
“Don’t say I’m late” the nurse said when Jeremy opened his mouth. She looked around to see if no one could see them.
“I doubt anyone’s going to see this” Jeremy mumbled. The nurse sighed and put her hand in her pocket. She took out a cylinder box and gave it to Jeremy. Sonata it said. “It’s a new medicine. It only stays in your body for a short time, and it works if you have trouble falling asleep. It’s safe, but take only one. If something happens it’s on me” she said worried.
“No one would know you gave me the pills” Jeremy said. “I’m not going to betray you”
“Well, that’s a relief” the nurse said cynical.
“Hey, can I know your name?” Jeremy asked.
But the girl was already gone.
