Harley's pov

After dinner I went straight to my room and stared at myself in my vanity mirror. My face tattoos were like a haunting reminder of my dark past especially of Joker. I took a deep breath before picking up my razor. I broke it so the razor was free. I grabbed a pair of thongs and shoved them in my mouth. I closed my eyes for a second before taking the razor to my face. I began cutting into my skin blood dripping all down my chin. It was painful in a good way I kind of liked the feeling.

My skin came undone and dropped on my dresser the rotten tattoo and heart tattoo laid there all bloody and I watched the two giant holes in my face heal. My tattoos were gone. I smiled before looking at the rest of my body "oh god" I heard a knock at my door and I went to open it. "Oh hey Aunt Jenna, what's up?" She closed the door behind me and sat on my bed. "Hi doll, I just wanted to come check in on you. I feel like we haven't had a real conversation since this whole... vampire thing".

I nodded and sat down next to her "what do you want to know?" She pulled her sleeve down and wiped the blood from my face "sorry" she didn't respond to me she just began caressing my face "how are you doing babe? This has got to be so traumatic for you especially with your mental health and I just wanna make sure you're doing well" I gave my Aunt a genuine smile "I'm not okay. I don't really like being a vampire to be honest" I felt my eyes prick as I continued on "I really hate this and because I'm a vampire I feel everything so much more intensely".

She wiped my tears "I hate myself but I've also never felt more free in my life. It's a weird happy medium I guess. I want to get back into my work stuff though since I'm not a crazed criminal anymore. It's gonna be hard but I wanna prove that I'm not a screw up and I can be good" Jenna threw her arms around me "oh honey you are good and I'm so incredibly proud of you Harley you have no idea. Get some rest alright" she kissed my cheek before walking out "night Aunt Jenna" "night Harley".

When I woke up Jenna was running around panicking about the founders day festivities today. I quickly got ready and decided to keep it simple, I grabbed a red tank top and just put on my black true religion jeans that were embroidered with red jewels. I grabbed my adidas and stared at myself in the mirror. After the success with my face tattoos I peeled off all my other tattoos so I was bare once again. I lifted my tank top to see the "Lucky You" tattoo still on my abdomen.

I couldn't get rid of it I love it too much. I brushed my blonde hair out and when I was finally okay with my outfit I walked downstairs. "About time Harley! We're late let's go" Jenna didn't even have her purse or the keys Elena laughed as she walked behind Jenna with her things. "Hey Alaric" he waved at me as he locked the doors. It felt weird being here and acting all familiar but I almost missed this. The quiet normalcy.

When we made it to the park Mayor Lockwood was yapping about the founders but I wasn't very interested. Alaric, Jeremy, and Jenna were standing at the back watching intensely while Elena and I were getting food. We walked over to our family and I was drinking blood in a coffee mug while eating my corn dog. "Sorry we're late, Harley was hungry... and thirsty" Elena said sheepishly and I just smiled.

"What did we miss?" Elena asked Jere "you didn't miss anything" Jeremy laughed "what's so funny?" Jere just shock his head no and then I saw him holding hands with air. I raised my brow in confusion but I didn't comment on it. "Can we go to the grill? I'm hungry" Alaric said "I'm gonna walk around, I'll see y'all later" I waved at them and they walked away.

I walked into the street and was almost hit by a car. I saw a peek and noticed it was Damon but he didn't even bother stopping. Was he mad at me? I went to the grill to see Elena, Stefan, Jenna and Alaric but no Jeremy. "Hey guys what's going on?" I asked "oh nothing just hanging out with my in laws you know how that goes" Stefan said smugly almost like he was joking. I rolled my eyes "ignore him, what's up Harley?" Before I could began speaking again Stefan cut me off. "Listen I gotta go there's gonna be lots of people to eat" Stefan laughed as he walked away "Stefan being evil is so weird" I said quietly.
