THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD (S1:E16)

I've been around for a long ass time. I've experienced a lot and have probably seen every single version of myself my head can come up with.

I've been Kind-Sam, Psycho-Sam, Philosophical-Sam, Broody-Sam... I've been through quite a lot of different personas in my lifetime. But somehow, I always end up being Drunk-&-Sad-Sam, just like right now.

As always, I'm at the Mystic Grill, ordering bottles, since a single glass just won't do the trick anymore.

Sheriff : You know, I said I'll overlook you underage-drinking in public, but that's taking it a bit far, don't you think?

I turn around and see Sheriff Forbes looking at me with a bit of disappointment on her face. Why though, I'm only at bottle 4 yet.

Sam : Are you gonna arrest me now, Sheriff?

She sits down besides me and orders herself a glass of water.

Sheriff : I don't mean that as the Sheriff, but as a mother who's got a daughter that's the same age as you.

I smile weakly, then take another sip out of the bottle. The cold, brown liquor burns it's way down my throat.

Sam : With all due respect, Sheriff, I don't need a supervisor.

Sheriff : I'm not too sure about that.

I scoff and roll my eyes.

Sam : Look, you, worrying about lil' ol' me, that's nice and all... but what I do in my free time, that's my thing.

Sheriff : Free time? You're skipping school right now.

I just hum in response.

Sheriff : I know when I'm not welcomed, so I'll leave now. Just know that whenever you want to talk about something, you can come to me.

It's a bit confusing, since Forbes never showed any real interest in me or what I do before and now wants to act like my psychologist all of a sudden, but I nod anyway, just wanting her to leave me the hell alone.

After Damon picked me up from the Grill, we walk home, just to see Anna and Pearl already waiting there for us.

Pearl: Hello, Salvatores.

Damon: Ever hear of knocking?

Pearl: An invitation wasn't necessary. I'm surprised that no living person resides here. Is it just you two and your brother?

Anna: Yeah. How do you keep out unwelcome vampires?

Sam: We kill them.

Damon runs towards Pearl and tries to strangle her. Pearl twists his wrist and pushes him to the floor.

Anna wants to attack Damon as well, but I just need to take a step forward with a glare on my face, making both of them hold their movements.

Pearl: Samuel, Damon, have a seat. I was hoping we could have a word.

Damon: Sure.

They then look at me, expecting me to agree as well.

Pearl : Samuel...

Sam : I don't take orders from inferior vampires.

Pearl : I can assure you that my daughter and I know of our position here. I didn't mean to sound like I was handing out orders, I simply want to have a word with the two of you.

I look to Damon, who just shrugs.

Sam : Fine, I guess. But the second you overstep a line again, like putting your dirty ass hands on my brother, I'll kill your daughter right in front of ya.
