I walk down the stairs of Elena's house early in the morning, trying my best to be quiet about it, but just like the last time I tried that, I get caught immediately.

Jeremy : Sam?

Fuck.

Sam : Hey, Jer. Good morning. Wouldn't have taken you for an early bird.

Jeremy : Yeah, I was more of a night owl before you told me to lay off the weed.

Sam : Funny. I'm some sort of permanently exhausted pigeon. Anyway, nice talk, I gotta go now-

Jeremy : Nah, you ain't getting away easy again.

Sighing, I step into the kitchen, where Jeremy is eating some cereal.

Jeremy : Seriously, Sam? Jenna? Again? You're cheating on Bonnie, dude.

Sam : Look, I can explain this. I just... -

That's when Jenna chimes in and looks surprised at seeing me in her house. What a timing.

Jenna : Sam? What are you doing here? It's 6 am.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I quickly turn to Jer and whisper in his ears.

Sam : Remember I helped you with Anna.

Then quickly turn back to Jenna.

Sam : Well... me and Jeremy were having a sleepover. Right, buddy?

Did I just use the same lame-ass excuse I pulled when I got caught sneaking out of Jenna's room... on Jenna?!

Meanwhile, realization dawns upon Jeremy. He was shocked when he found out about me and his aunt, but this...

Jeremy : Yea...

Jenna : Coffee, boys?

Sam : Sure.

She then walks over to the coffee mashine and immediately, Jeremy drags me down to his height.

Sam : I promise, I can explain.

Jeremy: I'll whoop your ass!

Sam : It's not like you think.

Jeremy : So you didn't cheat on Bonnie with my sister?

Sam : ... Biologically, she's not really your sister.

Jeremy : Sam!

Sam : Ok, maybe it's a little like you think. But not entirely.

That's when Elena walks into the kitchen, sees me with Jer and Jenna... and sighs.

Elena : Sam, can we talk?

Jenna looks confused, rightfully so, but without saying anything else, I follow her upstairs into her room.

Elena : Sam, what happened yesterday... I don't think any less of you because of it. I just want you to know that.

Sam : Thanks. I appreciate it. Although Jeremy now thinks we've slept with each other.

Elena : I'll talk to him.

Sam : Don't worry, I'll do it. Seems like it's easier for him to believe that his goody-goodshoes sister cheated on her boyfriend, rather than his best friend having an emotional breakdown.

Elena : He idolizes you. You're like his role model. He thinks you're invincible.

Sam : You and me both know that's not true. But thanks, for helping me and letting me stay the night. I don't want Damon or Stefan to see me like this.
