03. Age Of Innocence

Five Years From Now, New York City

Jeremy brought a bowl of popcorn from his kitchen and sat in the living room, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive.

"April hurry up, I'm about to start the movie!" Jeremy yelled, getting impatient.

"Don't you dare start Iron Man without me Gilbert!" April yelled from their shared bedroom.

"Then hurry up!" Jeremy yelled.

"Be there in five, just changing into my pjs!" April yelled back, making Jeremy shake his head in amusement at his girlfriend. 

While he was setting the movie up, suddenly his phone started ringing, Jeremy looked at his phone in confusion when he realised it was no caller ID.

"Hello?" A confused Jeremy answered, wanting to know who was calling him.

"Little Gilbert".

Hearing the other person's voice, immediately caused Jeremy to clench his fist in anger, he wanted nothing to do with this man, not after he walked out on his best friend again.

"Why the hell are you calling me, Damon?" An angry Jeremy asked.

"Tell me you know where Aria is" Damon said, ignoring Jeremy's anger.

"Don't" Jeremy warned, "Don't you dare take Aria's name from your mouth".

"Look, I get that your angry at me, but my scar opened up again" Damon informed.

"What?" A shocked Jeremy asked.

"I need you to warn Aria and Kol, I tried to look for her but she's made it pretty clear she doesn't want me to find her" Damon said.

"Can you blame her?!" Jeremy snapped.

"No, I can't" Damon said, "Look you can hate me all you want Jeremy, but what I did, it was for Aria and our kids".

"Her kids" Jeremy corrected, "They are her and Kol's kids Damon, not yours, you lost the right to call them your kids when you walked out on them, for the second time, now excuse me, I have a best friend I have to warn while you run, like you always do".

Before Damon could say anything else, Jeremy hanged up on and immediately called Aria, hoping her, Kol and the kids were okay.

Today,

Dear Triplets,

So as you can see, now I am starting to write these journals to you three. Right now you three are in New Orleans with your Uncle Nik, Uncle Elijah and Uncle Finn and I miss you guys a lot, and by writing these journals to you guys I hope to achieve two things. Number one, it makes me feel like you guys are still here with me. Number two, in the future when I hand you guys my journal, I hope you three read it and learn something, learn that no matter what life brings your way, you must keep going, I hope that you three learn from mine and Damon's mistakes and make sure you guys don't repeat it, I hope these journals help you three become the best versions of yourselves.
