Lorelai's Diaries / The Vampire Diaries

Chapter 3: The Fell Problem

Dear Diary, It's been a week since I found out that supernatural beings exist. I haven't seen either of the Salvatore brothers since. I don't think it's really kicked in yet. Maybe I'll have to have Bonnie show me some of her witchy spells or something. Or piss Damon off enough for him to bite me in the neck... Jesus fucking Christ I sound insane. Ok well on another note aunt Jenna said that an old flame of hers stopped by the house. I think his name is Logan or something? He tried to get her to say yes to a date with him. Ew. she said no of course. Oh and no I obviously haven't told Jenna about the whole vampire, witch thing. She'll just think I've lost my shit. Well anyway, I've got school in a few. I'll TTYL.

I've been going with Elena and Bonnie to school everyday since the incident. It's been kind of nice not having to take the bus. "Did I miss something?" I snap out of my thoughts when I hear Elena's voice. We got to school a few minutes ago and are now walking up to a very chummy Caroline with the blonde hair blue eyes boy named Matt. "They've been hanging out." Bonnie answers Elena. "Kind of weird, don't you think?"

"She needs someone nice like him. As opposed to a homicidal vampire like Damon."

"Yeah how are you guys doing with all that?"

"I'm freaked out. Damon attacked me. I could be dead right now, but I'm also grateful."

"Hmm?"

"To Stefan. He saved my life. And... Have you seen him?" Elena sighs. "Not since he told me he was leaving. For all I know he's already gone."

"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye."

"Yes, he would. He thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that."

"So what are you gonna do?"

"What am I supposed to do? I already begged him not to go. If I ask again I'm being selfish. It is what it is."

"Well, maybe it's for the best."

"What? Why?"

"I mean, what kind of future could you have possibly had with him? Even if he stayed?" A sign reading 'the promise of your future' falls from the ceiling. "Did you just-"

"No, I swear." Elena sighs and walks away.

I've been on edge all week. I just can't relax. Every time I leave my house I'm watching my back, more than usual now, and when I come home I keep double checking every lock and leaving the lights on. Jenna is sick of me leaving all the lights on. Says I'm spiking the electric bill.

At the end of the day I'm walking by the basketball court to get to Bonnie's car. One of the two guys playing is Matt and the other is one I don't know. I over hear the one I don't know asking Matt who I am. To which he answers, "I don't know. She's friends with Bonnie, Care and Elena. But that's all I got."

"Hey, red!" I hear the other boy call out. I ignore him at first until he calls me again. "What do you want?" I ask not wanting to hear the slimy comment I have a feeling he's going to say to me. "Woah there, little red. I just wanted to say hi, welcome to town." He stands there holding the basketball waiting for an answer. He has dark short hair with dark piercing eyes that hold a sinister-ness in them. "Hi." I say then walk away. Yuck. I hate guys like that. You can just tell by how he presents himself. Tank top, flexing, and standing there all high and mighty like. He's a douche, jock, who thinks any girl will fall at his feet with just one look. I get in Bonnie's car, Bonnie already waiting for me and Elena. "Who the hell was that douche trying to talk to me?" I ask her, annoyed. "Oh him? That's Tyler. He's the mayor's son. And douche is one of many of the words I would use for him." She lets me know. "Ah... Mayor's son. Makes sense."

As soon as I step into my house I hear Jenna yelling. "Hey, you are coming with me to the school thing tonight."

"How are you home already?" I yell back, walking to the sound of her voice coming from the kitchen. "I don't mess around. I wanted to eat something and grade some papers before I had to go back. I got food from the grill. There's a sandwich over there for you." She says not looking up from the papers she was grading. "Thanks." I put my bag down and grab my food. "Is everything okay?" Jenna asks before I can leave the room. "Yeah... why?" I ask with a furrowed brow. "You've just seemed on edge this past week."
