Chapter Text

"Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with your self esteem."
― Kurt Cobain

Mystic Falls, Virginia

Steven's Quarry

Since his parents went over Wickery Bridge and drowned, Jeremy felt empty inside. But even before they had died, Jeremy had been a little depressed. He just did not fit in with the other kids in Mystic Falls. He wasn't athletic like Matt or Tyler, or smart like his dad, or a writer like his sister. All Jeremy really had was his art and since the night when his aunt had come in his room crying and told him the news, he had not drawn a thing. He had lost his inspiration, he had almost lost his mind.

Then, he had thrown himself into being the cool stoner boy for Vicky. She had taken Jeremy's virginity and he had fallen in love with her. He thought if he gave her drugs and love, he could save her. But no, she still ran to Lockwood every time she could, even though he treated her like shit. Then, she died.

So Jeremy decided to just tune out and smoke as much as he could. Jenna was distracted with Mr. Saltzman, his history teacher. Elena was distracted with her boyfriend and his asshole brother. The only people who paid any attention to Jeremy at all were Bonnie and weirdly, Tyler Lockwood. Vicky's death had given them something in common. But now, even Tyler had a new girlfriend in Caroline.

"Jeremy!" Bonnie yelled in his face.

"What, man?" Jeremy blinked. He was leaning up against a tree. The beer mixed with the pot had given him a heavy buzz.

"Come on, help us with the stuff. We're leaving," Bonnie snapped.

"Oh, okay. I'm coming. Give me a minute," Jeremy said casually. He just wanted to chill, but Bonnie did not seem in the mood to fool around. Not after what had happened with Elena.

"What's Elena?" Jeremy asked looking around.

"Jeremy, what? She left with Stefan. Don't you remember? You walked with us to the car. Look at me! How messed up are you?" Bonnie asked.

"Bonnie, I'm fine," Jeremy said slowly.

"Look at me!" Bonnie demanded. "You are high! What are you on?"

"I don't really know. Some kid gave me a blunt, it might have been laced with something," Jeremy admitted. He did feel odd.

Bonnie sighed, "Caroline, Tyler, and Matt just left. Damon! Can you come here a second?"

"No, not that guy! He's such a dick," Jeremy complained.

Damon strode up to the younger brother of his brother's girl and Bonnie, "Yes, Bon, how may I be of service?"

Bonnie sighed, "Can you check him out? I think he smoked something weird. Like a blunt laced with something? He seems out of it. I'm worried."

Damon went over to Jeremy, "Where is the blunt, Jeremy? Where did you throw it?"

Jeremy whined, "I don't remember." Damon looked at Bonnie and she grabbed Jeremy's wrist and removed his vervain bracelet. Damon repeated the question, now compelling the high teen.

"Under that tree," Jeremy said pointing to a nearby shrub. Damon used his vampire senses to find the remnants of the blunt and sniffed it.

Damon smirked, "I don't believe it."
