The Turning Point

After getting ready for the day, I made sure I had everything in my bag and walked downstairs to see Jenna grabbing her purse.

"Morning, Jenna," I say once I hit the last step. I put my stuff down next to Elena's. I hear her about to speak up, but Elena beats her to it right as she gets to the bottom of the stairs.

"Jeremy's got his sketch pad out," she stated with a smile. I turned to look at her in slight shock.

"Are you serious?" I ask her

"You're kidding." Jenna turned, smiling at Elena.

"Not kidding, but don't say a word. The minute we encourage him, he'll put it away," she says, walking over to her bag.

"Psychology major. Check that." Jenna smirks, grabbing her keys. I walk into the kitchen with my tumbler filled with a little bit of blood and pour coffee into it. I go back over and hear Jenna talking.

"You and Stefan? Update?" She asks, grabbing her coat and walking over to her.

Elena sighs, buttoning up her sweater. "He knows how I feel and where I stand, and I know where he stands, but it doesn't matter. He's leaving, moving away," she informed, grabbing her stuff.

"He's moving?" I question.

"Where's he going?" Jenna asks.

"I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary," Elena answers, opening the door. I grab my cardigan and put it on before I grab my bag and tumbler and walk out behind Jenna. Elena follows, closing the door behind her.

"Yours leaves. Mine returns," Jenna stated in defeat as we walked down the steps.

"Well, it's a good thing my exes don't bother me," I say happily. Elena and Jenna both give me a stern look. "Sorry, too soon?" I ask, looking between them. "I'll stop talking now." They shake their heads and continue talking.

"Logan?" Elena asks.

"He's back," Jenna says, and Elena scoffs. "I didn't let him pass the front door," she reassured.

"I hope you slammed it in his face," I stated as we continued walking.

"Eh, medium slam," Jenna reassured with a shrug.

"Three-strike rule, Jenna. You're not even allowed to watch the news," Elena warned jokingly.

"Exactly. No more Logan 'Scum' Fell," she agreed.

Elena, Bonnie, and Evelyn walk through the hallway and see Caroline and Matt flirting a few feet away from them, standing in front of a classroom.

"Did I miss something?" Elena asks.

"They've been hanging out," Bonnie replied, shrugging. Evelyn looks up from her phone, smiling at Bonnie.

"What? Since when?" She asks excitedly.

"Kind of weird, don't you think?" Elena questions.

"I mean..." Evelyn trails off, and Bonnie speaks up.

"She needs someone nice like him as opposed to a–" she looks over to Evelyn and whispers to Elena, "homicidal vampire like Damon." She looked over to Evelyn to make sure she wasn't paying attention.

"Yeah, how are you doing with all that?" Elena asks Bonnie.

While they are talking, Evelyn walks over to her locker, puts her bag in, and takes out both her textbook and notebook before walking to class. She left so Bonnie and Elena could talk without them having to worry about whispering around her.
