"Says the guy who daggers his own siblings, now pass me the bloody gun."
Holly Salvatore had everything she could ever ask for. An amazing family, great friends and a future she had planned to a tight nit. And the first thing o...

Season 3 Episode 6 "Smells like Teen Spirit"
"You know, hearing your voice first thing in the morning was not how I expected my first day of freedom to go."
"Oh don't be so glum about it love, you got what you wanted didn't you? You got back home, to your little circus, isn't it lovely?"
"And it would have been a whole lot better if you didn't make Stefan flip his switch. I already had enough problems and now, I have a moody teenager high on blood to deal with too and since I got my freedom I wanna spend it as far away from you as possible so if you could please stop calling me that would be highly appreciated.

Caroline had enthusiastically dragged Holly shopping the morning after, saying how shopping was a very expensive but very effective therapy. And while Holly did spend all of her savings, she couldn't deny that what her friend had said was true, it did feel empowering in some way.
The two girls spent four hours in the mall and came back home with the trunk of Holly's car filled up to the brim, causing Liz to almost have a heart attack. But seeing the smiles on their faces made her feel a little bit at ease. They had been through a lot that summer, that whole year, they deserved to be happy. Even if it was just temporary.
Holly ignored Elena as much as she could. Dodging her in the halls and cutting corners just to avoid seeing her. Because it hurt. But Elena wasn't helping her case as she determinedly tried and tried to reach her but to no avail.
