The Sun Also Rises - 2X21
⸻⸻⋅☾ 🎵 ☽⋅⸻⸻
JEREMY GILBERT looked up at the sealing while laying on his bed. Today was the day. The day of Aunt Jenna and Uncle John's Funeral...He hadn't left his room since he heard the news. He was just so sick of it. Death. It seemed like he was cursed. Cursed that anyone around him just dies. His Mum, Dad, Vicki, Anna and now he had to add Jenna and John to the list . He had only turned 15 a few weeks ago damit! He was glad Elena survived though. Even if he didn't feel anything as of now.
When he first heard of the news he screamed his lungs out and cried himself to sleep but now.... He just felt numb. It felt like he's body was so done with him he couldn't even react anymore. His sketch pad layed next to his face. The unfinished drawing of a wolf running in the full moon stayed still on the paper.
That was another thing. Ever since the Elijah and Klaus Mikaelson crashed into town, he would have wired dreams of wolves, the moon screams and crying. He also once woke up with huge pain in his chest as if someone decided to take a bite out of his body. He didn't really know what to even think of the two brothers except for the fact they seemed a bit familiar. But it felt something was off about them. Like they were supposed to look different.
A knock interrupted his thoughts.
The door opened with a creak......
He looked up at the door expecting it to be Elena but there on the doorway, stood Stefan Salvatore. Stefan Salvatore was the current boyfriend of his Sister. Jeremy thought he was a bore at first but now he didn't know how to feel. Especially after he had tried to save Jenna's life. Sweet sweet Jenna. Stefan wavered in the door and his mind remembered the last time he had a conservation with one of the Salvatore brother. He remembered how that ended in him almost turning into a vampire.
Stefan hesitantly crossed the thresh hold. Jeremy tuned to the side, throwing his head under the blanket , hoping that would be a sign for Stefan to go away but Stefan didn't leave. They stayed in a uncomfortable silence for a few moments before Jeremy heard footsteps near his bed then the sound of his bed sinking under Stefan's Weight. He felt a cold hand touch his head through the thin blanket. He felt Stefan ruffle his hair like a father would do to a son. Jeremy leaned in to the touch unconsciously. He didn't want to admit it but it felt nice feeling like a kid again.
"How are you holding up" Stefan whispered, his voice cracking a bit.
Jeremy just Shaked his head still hiding under the blanket. The door creaked open again. He could tell it was Elena from the way her footsteps sounded. He peaked under the blanket just enough to see that Elena had crossed the room and was motioning something to Stefan. He guessed it must've been to give them some privacy as Stefan stood up and left but not before giving him a pat on his shoulder. Elena replaced Stefan were he had been sitting. She pulled the blanket aside revealing a messy brown mope he called hair. She bent down and gently placed a kiss on top of his head.
"Jer", her voice timed.
He could tell she had been crying. He grabbed her hand and brought it back inside to the warm blanket, holding it. They stayed like that for a while before Elena finally regained the ability to talk again.
"Jer " she started gently , "the funerals starting in a hour...."
"......"
"I know", Jeremy spoke his voice rough.
"Go have a shower ok" Elena told him before giving his hand a gentle squeeze and getting up to leave. Elena paused at the door before whispering a quiet a 'I'm sorry' and walking out. Leaving Jeremy alone in a dark room by himself.
Jeremy got up stripping his cloths he got into the shower. He could feel the hot water rushing down his back, burning his skin. The glass of the shower was all smoky. After debating whether it was worth staying in the shower instead of going out , he diseased to get up. Stepping out of the shower , Jeremy shivered as he felt the rush of cold air hit him in the face. He quickly Got dressed into a white uniform shirt, black tie ,pants and a black vest instead of his jacket.
He walked by the mirror catching a look at his reflection. His face was paler then usual and his eyes were red with all the crying he had done. Jeremy simply Shaked his head and walked towards the his bedside table. He opened it and took out the ring and letter Uncle John had told him to give Elena. He gave him self one more look at the mirror before opening his door for the first time since hours.
He could hear people talking down stairs and instead decided to take a detour Elena's room . Elena was fixing her hair in the mirror. Jeremy walked towards her quietly.
"Hey"
"Hi Jer, how are you holding up?"
"I'm ok, how are you" Jeremy said his voice cracking a bit.
"I'm doing ok" but Jeremy could tell it was lie.
"I'm sorry you've lost so many people Jer" Elena whispered giving him a hug. Jeremy longing for affection returned the hug.
"Here", he said handing her the letter and ring, "John told me to give it you"
He then nodded at her before walking out of the room. He could feel tears threatening to slip down his face but quickly Shaked his head ,refusing to cry right now. Stepping into the living room, all chatter stopped but he just walked out heading towards the grave yard.
He waited there for roughly 16 minutes and 35 seconds before everyone else showed up. He heard everyone giving their condolences to Elena. Jeremy walked up to the grave of his parents , beside them layed the grave stones of Jenna Sommer and John Gilbert. He crouched down and layed the bright red rose down slowly. Jeremy felt as if crying but he just couldn't. In the corner of his eye he could see Stefan and Damon speaking in hushed tones about what looked like a serious topic but he didn't really care about that right now. Right now all he wanted to was just sleep.....
