Moving to sit a bit away from him, he turns to gaze at me and continues, “So, this is what I propose.”

“Propose?” the word is out of my mouth before I can even stop it as horror creeps into my eyes. He looks amused and laughs. At me!

“Calm down, you didn’t let me finish. I’m going back to my hometown, and you’re coming with me.” he’s dead serious.

“I’m coming with you? Why? Where? Why?” What’s his game? I just can’t figure him out, and it’s starting to piss me off.

“I’ll be blunt seeing that this is getting us nowhere. You have a problem and I’m taking you with me to Mystic Falls,Va to help you.” He looks into my eyes almost expecting me to lash out.

“Mystic Falls?” I literally snort. I can’t contain myself. What kind of a place has a name like that? Then, I look at him and, he’s studying me. “I’m sorry, that just caught me off guard.”

“Yes, Mystic Falls. It’s my home.” he watches me intently before continuing. “ I’ve made some arrangements so that you will be okay to come with me.” Just then, there’s a knock at the door. He stands to walk over to answer. What’s this more items to bribe me with?

But, no items at all. There’s only a man. Stefan seems to know him as he shows him into the room and over to me. What the hell is going on? They stop in front of me and I stand.

“This is my uncle Zach he owns our house that we’re taking you to.” he says as he motions to the man. But, he looks at Stefan as if something is gravely wrong. But, he extends his hand to me.

“Stefan’s told me about your situation. I’m going to help him help you to get better.” Taking his hand and wondering what the previous look was.

“Stefan, can I talk to you somewhere more private?” Zach says almost too hushed.

“No offense, this is a family matter. You do understand, don’t you?” he says to me in an almost jerky manner. OK, who is this prick?

They leave the room and I’m left to fetter all alone. So, I take in the vast beauty of the room. I won’t question how Stefan got it. If I’ve learned anything, it’s to not look at the cover of the book. Boy was I ever wrong about Nik. I wonder what he’s up to at the very moment. If I know him the way I’m sure I do, he’s probably badgering Nomie to find out my location. See Nik, you can’t control everything that goes on in my life. He really should’ve thought about that before sleeping with my boss. I remember that night so well, seeing him with her. Nomie’s a major bitch but, I didn’t think she’d go to those lengths, especially not against me. After, I left the condo he once bought for me, I went in search of Jay. He had a way about him. You knew he was a rat, but it didn’t matter. Jay always welcoming me with open arms, an open bar, and a well-stocked medicine cabinet. He knew how to party. But, I guess I can’t think about that now that Stefan and his uncle want to “fix” me.

I hear the doorknob turn and they reenter. Both looking expectantly at me.

“It’s settled. We’re leaving for Mystic Falls. You can just leave everything. How do you feel about planes?” Stefan asks.

Really? That’s what he says? Not what’s going on, but How do I feel about planes? Why is he being so difficult and closed off all of a sudden?
