The Twin Gilbert

Chapter 21: Healing

I spent most summer locked in my room, on my laptop. If I gathered enough money, I could get an apartment. I looked for a while and finally found the perfect one. It had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a nice kitchen and living space. I moved out of the Stilinski's house and into my own place so I could heal after Jenna's death. I made the decision not to let anyone know that Elena was alive. Now I am in my room, just lying down on my bed, looking at the ceiling.

I have been doing that a lot lately. I mostly do this, when I'm not, I am doing things that I need to do ignored to live: like eat, and shower. I also have started to cut myself again. I can't handle the memories.

No one knows where I am now, so they can't bother me. They have been very nice about the whole, 'Leave me alone' thing. I have been calling Elena and Jeremy everyday. If Stiles looks at my calls, I would kill him.

As I am lying on my bed, I hear the door bell ring. I go to the door and look through the peephole. "Come on! I can smell you!" Derek says from behind the door.

I open the door and glare, "How did you find me?"

"Wanted to make sure you were alive." He says walking into the room.

"Well, I'm alive so go away."

"I know Elena is alive." He says looking at me. I grab a vase and smash it on his head. I run to the bathroom and get one of my knives. I come out as he is recovering and put the knife to his throat.

"How do you know?" I yell as he tries to get me off of him. I push the blade closer to his throat, "HOW!"

"When we were in Mystic Falls, I followed you to the cemetery." He confesses. I drop the knife. "Don't worry I didn't tell anyone. When did you learn self-defense?"

"Over the summer, I needed to relieve some anger so, I took a course, then did some boxing. I hit a bag with Klaus's face on it multiple times. I also found some people who fought for a living, wouldn't say what they did, and they taught me how to fight."

"Oh," Derek says, impressed. He then looks around and inhales, "Why do I smell blood?"

"Your neck," I say. I made sure to cut his neck a little so that if he asked about the smell, I would have an excuse. He holds his neck, and by the time he takes his hand off, it healed. "Any news on Boyd and Erica?"

"Nope."

"They have been missing for the whole summer, you have nothing?"

"Nope, nada." He then starts to contemplate something. "Have fun at school tomorrow." He says with a smile.

"Screw you! School is a hell hole." I says as he laughs and leaves.

Damn school...

I walk into school and everyone starts to stare. I keep walking to my locker where I see Lydia and Allison.

"Glad, you're back Allison!" I say with a smile.

"Me too, but Lydia is a little distracted." Allison says chuckling.

"Distracted, me? No, I want a distraction. There are a lot of fresh men." She says licking her lips and looking around. Suddenly she stops and opens her mouth. Allison and I turn around to see two very hot new guys.

"Brothers?" Allison asks.

"Twins," Lydia replies happily.
