"So what's the plan?" Jeremy asks as he walks into my room. "I know you're not gonna stay home tonight." I laugh as I sit up on my bed.

" actually, I am." Which was true. since I've been back, I have not fully had a whole night home and today is the day. I'm gonna actually stay inside with my Grinch pajamas on reading love stories all night. "I'm gonna read some love stories and eating junk food." He laughs as he lays next to me. "You wanna watch some movies instead?" He looks at me.

"As long as it's not any love crap-"

"It won't." He gets up.

"Is Elena gonna be invited?" He says as he walks towards the door.

"Invited to?" Elena says as she walked in my room looking confused. "What are you two doing?"

" we're gonna have an horror night." Jeremy says. I really wasn't into watching any scary movies because the storyline is always the same.

" Amanda is going to watch scary movies?" She looks at me.

"Yeah." I get up. " I don't feel like cooking so we are gonna order from the grill. But I'm gonna have to go to the store and get junk food before I get the food."

"I have plans with Stefan." She says.

" you both are gonna sit upstairs in your room with the door open kissing on the bed." I say as I walk out. " instead of kissing on the bed guys can't get on the couch and pretend you guys are interested in the movie." We all walk downstairs.

"I'll pass." She walks towards the kitchen where Jenna was.

"I'll be back." I walked out the house and to my car.

"Hey." I jumped a little when I seen Stefan. "Didn't mean to scare you."

"Damn I could have pepper sprayed you." I opened my door. "Elena is inside waiting for you."

"Where are you going?"

"Store. Jeremy and I are having a movie night." He looked up and down at my pajamas. "Don't judge me I love the grinch." I got into the car.

"Drive safe." He says as he walks towards the front door. I started my car and I seen the front door open. Elena immediately starts kissing him a as she pulls him inside.

I walked into the grill and seen it was a little packed but not too packed. I seen Mr. And Mrs Lockwood sitting at a booth together talking. I walked over to the bar and seen Matt, Tyler and a few guys playing pool. Matt and Tyler look at me whisper something then I see Matt stand up.

"Hey." Matt says as he walks over to me. "Nice outfit."

"Thank you." My pajamas weren't a onesie. Instead, it was shorts and a tank top the shorts were too short they were a good length. The bartender walks past us and walks over to Damon and another lady. "When did you show up?" When I walked in I seen the lady but not Damon sitting there.

"I don't know."

"Hey." Tyler says as he walks one to Matt and I. "Aren't you a little earlier for Christmas?"

"Can never be to early." I say and Matt smiles. "So you guys are just going to hang out here in the grill-"

"We're gonna be leaving in an hour. Why you want me to go over?" Tyler says and I roll my eyes. "Come on Amanda you know you-"

"If I wanted you I would have have you-"

"How can I help you?" The bartender says as he walks over to us.

"Can I get two hamburger meals." I glance and see Damon looking at us. "And some chicken tenders." Tyler pulls out his wallet. "I'll pay for my..." Tyler ignores me and hands the bartender his card. "You don't even know how much the food is."
