Brooke Forbes had lived in Mystic Falls her whole life, and had been the 'It Girl' of the town since she was young. Her life had been perfect in every way. Until, one accident lands her in physio rehabilitation and she is forced to leave town for mo...

As much as Brooke had been desperate to spend all day eating ice cream and sulking she couldn't, because tonight was a full moon and therefore Tyler's first transition. He was incredibly nervous, so she and her sister were going to help him with it all night.
Telling him that she was also a vampire had nearly blown his mind, but he seemed okay with it now and honestly given how frightened he was, he was glad for any and all help.
The twins had told him to meet them at the Mystic Grill, where they were currently sitting at a table having lunch.
Tyler was supposed to meet them at 13:30, but it had been another half an hour and he still hadn't showed up so the girls were beginning to worry that maybe he wasn't coming.
However, after waiting another ten minutes Tyler finally showed up.
"Hey" he said to the girls, sliding into the spare seat
One look at him, told both girls that he was distracted, and Caroline frowned. "Hey. What's wrong?"
He sighed. "This girl, Jules, who Mason knows stopped by the house. She said he never made it back to Florida. My mom is freaking out and she was on the phone with your mom when I left."
Under the table, Brooke clasped her hands together nervously. If Tyler was on the track to work out that Mason was dead, then she and Damon would both be caught, and she would lose her friendship with Tyler forever.
Beside her, Caroline did her best to keep a straight face. Her sister had told her what really happened to Mason, but she had to protect her, even if it meant lying to Tyler.
"We should get going" said Tyler, snapping both twins out of their thoughts
Brooke nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah"
The three of them got up from their table, and Brooke shot a look at Alaric, sitting with Jenna not too far away. He knew what had happened, and she needed someone to relay the message to Damon before Tyler started sniffing around too much. She had to keep this secret to protect their friendship, but also to save Tyler because if he got too close, then Damon would surely kill him too.
It was hard though, when for the entire car ride all Tyler could seem to talk about was how worried he was about Mason. All the Forbes girls could do was try to reassure him.
"Mason's a wild card, Tyler" Brooke was telling him "He never does what people expect, so maybe he's just run off to do something else"
He shook his head "I know, but after all the talk he gave about being here for me after dad... it just seems strange"
She sighed. "Tyler, your uncle is too unpredictable to explain. I'm sure your mother will be on it if she really is worried"
Her sister stopped the car just at the edge of the woods, and the trio climbed out. "Maybe he just stopped to go surf somewhere." added Caroline "Isn't that Mason's whole thing?"
