The Everlasting

Chapter 16: She's Gonna Be A Problem

No one POV

After first period and the senior meetings, the siblings were swarmed with questions.

Bonnie apologized for the crowd, but not for answering Mr. Tanner's question.

The gang understood that it was a simple question. Who knew the teacher would accuse her of lying though?

Safe to say, they didn't like Tanner very much. The boys noticed his lingering eyes from time to time and had wanted to kill him.

Another person on their dislike list would be the doppelgänger. Since they were little, the girl was always seeking the attention of everybody in the room, always wanting to have control of everything, the most selfish person they'd ever meet, and was the biggest crybaby.

Around the end of middle school, and the beginning of high school, did they stop trying to change her for the better. Accepting that she'll be the person she wants to be.

Most of them didn't hang out with her, but sometimes if they were at the same gathering a conversation, with minimum word flow, has occurred.

After learning about the possible future from their brother, AJ, who saw what would become of them through a TV show from his old world, which was still hard to grasp for them. They wanted to see if helping Elena be a better person might make them more willing to help her when the time comes.

They knew of the timeline where they were all friends with the doppelgänger, seeing all the reckless and dangerous plans they came up with when it came to saving her too, with some of them even dying for her.

They were not having it this time.

They had saw what would become of Elena and their lives because of her, feeling nothing but disrespected and disappointed, the latter being mostly in themselves for their own actions.

Most of them sacrificed too much for the girl. Only for her to not make amends with most of them, half-assed apologizing to some of them, and not acknowledging the lot of them whenever things go drastically wrong. Which was nearly all the time because she wanted things her way, and The Salvatores just had to always make sure it happened.

They would not fake being friends with Elena because, simply, they couldn't stand her now. Plus, she didn't like Hayley and Victoria because she couldn't control them from the moment she met them, and that just wouldn't do.

When they were younger the little Gilbert girl had her claws in nearly all of them. Bonnie might've been harder to sway, but Elena had managed to still sway her, up until AJ's mind and soul returned to its rightful place. Their world.

Since he returned things haven't been great for the Gilbert girl. The Bennett witch slowly, but surely, stopped caring for what she wanted. The Forbes not relying much on what Elena wanted to do anymore and started to do her own thing, which Elena hated.

The male Donovan wasn't seeking her affection anymore. She didn't much want to date him, he was cute and all, so maybe down the line, probably. Still she hated when he wasn't all love-crazy for her anymore.

The boy's sister, Victoria, didn't care for Elena at all either, showing her she would much rather get her ankle hit by the deck part of a metal scooter than deal with her bullshit.
