Rosa stared at her phone and sighed. She had called Jeremy like a hundred times and he hadn't answered once.

She heard the door next to her open and then close. The smile on her face grew wider as she ran to his door.

She walks over to Jeremy's room to find him laying there. Elena holding his hand and Stefan looks sad. Really sad. And Jeremy looks dead. Really dead.

No words come out. But her presence is noted. "Rosa..." Stefan says quietly.

Rosa ignores him and walks towards her brother. She listens for a heartbeat, but hears nothing. She looks at Elena and her stupidly hopeful face. She wants to ask what happened, but doesn't.

Rosa turns back to Stefan, but instead walks past him. Stefan follows Rosa as she walks to her room and grabs her hand.

"Rosa...just talk to me."

Rosa rips her hand away from Stefan and shuts the door to her room. She sits on her bed and lets out a shaky breath and turns off her phone.

Meredith and Elena are in Jeremy's room. Elena's not ready. Rosa isn't ready, but she knows it's true. Her brothers dead.

When Rosa finally walks back into the room she sees Elena comforting Matt. "Do you really think he'll wake up?" She asks softly.

Elena looks at Rosa, "Yeah." She says nodding her head. "Me and Matt are gonna go. Call me when he does."

Rosa nodded and watched as Elena and Matt left. Stefan and Meredith looked at her concerned, but she just stared at Jeremy. Meredith was covering his face with a blanket.

She walks out of Jeremy's room, into her own and grabs her notebook.

Dear Jenna,

I really thought I was done with this, but I'm not. Jeremy is dead. My brother is dead. My favorite person in the entire world is dead. He's dead and I don't know what to do. I need to talk to someone but I can't. I just want to talk to you and you aren't here. You're not here. Jeremy's dead. Elena's the only one left. Out of everyone, she's the only one left. Jeremy is dead and I want to cry. I just want to cry. I wish you were here to help me. What do I do? I need to cry because Jeremy's dead. He's dead and he's not coming back. Jeremy is dead and I can't even remember the last thing I said to him. I don't think I even told him goodbye or that I loved him before I left. And Elena has this stupid hope that he's going to wake up, but he won't. He's actually dead. And I have to live the rest of my infinite life missing him and I don't know what to do. What do I do? I need you to tell me what to do?" Please.

Love,
Rosa

Rosa shut her notebook and threw it against her wall. She stood up and walked out of the room. And back into Jeremy's.
