"It's not enough!" Brea panicked as Elena stuck some more streamers onto Caroline's locker.

"Brea, chill, it's fine," Elena laughed.

"Hey, sorry I'm late," Bonnie said running up to them.

"Where were you!?" Brea squeaked, stressed to the max.

"I, uh, got held up," Bonnie said looking at Brea confused.

"It's ok. We just got here too," Elena reassured and Brea snorted, they'd been there for half an hour already. "Can you pass me the balloons?" Elena asked Bonnie. "Thanks," Elena said as Bonnie handed her the balloons and she and Brea leaned forward to stick them to Caroline's locker. "What got you running late?" Elena asked and Brea caught Bonnie looking at her nervously for a second, so she pulled back from the locker to face Bonnie, in case she had an issue she needed help with.

"I, uh, was working on some new spells," Bonnie stuttered.

"Hopefully this will be enough," Brea sighed as Elena took the sign to stick to the locker.

"So, uh, we have something we need to tell you," Elena said. "And you're not going to like it."

"What happened?" Bonnie asked.

"Jeremy's going to be leaving town for a while," Elena said. "He'll be staying with some old family friends in Denver until this whole Klaus thing blows over."

"Jeremy wouldn't just leave you two to deal with Klaus on your own," Bonnie said confused.

Elena looked down guiltily, "I know. I asked Damon to compel him."

"You what?" Bonnie asked.

"I know, Bonnie, but it's not safe for him here anymore," Elena defended. "Leaving will give him a better life. The only reason I'm telling you is that I know that you two haven't really worked out your stuff. And I thought maybe you'd want to say goodbye."

"Are you ok with this?" Bonnie asked turning to Brea.

"Yes. No. I don't know. I need him to be safe. I can't have my brother in danger. I care about him too much. We can save him," Brea sighed. "If there's a way to guarantee his safety I need to do that."

"I'll go talk to him," Bonnie sighed walking off.

"Where is Caroline!" Brea said pulling her hair.

"Brea, Brea, relax," Elena laughed grabbing Brea's hands and loosening them from her hair.

"She's not coming. She's not coming," Brea said pacing in front of Caroline's locker. She, Elena, Bonnie and Matt had been waiting there for ages, class started 30 minutes ago and she still wasn't there. "I'm calling Tyler, maybe his hybrid master ordered him to kidnap Caroline for the day," Brea snarled whipping out her phone and scrolling down to the contact name 'Traitor no.1' and dialling.

"Hey Brea, I'm so glad you called."

"Shut up. Where's Caroline?"

"I saw her this morning."

"Where?"

"At school, I gave her a present and then I saw her drive off," he didn't get to finish his sentence, because Brea promptly hung up on him.

"She's gone home," Brea said to the group. "Grab the decorations people we need to move!" Brea yelled ripping the sign off of the locker. "She's headed home we have to beat her there. She's clearly in a hating Tyler mood as well so she might drive around for a bit. We've got time but we've got to hurry," she said turning around to see no one had moved. "Move!" she screamed and they all hopped into gear and started hurrying to grab the decorations.
