"How do you do this to me? How come even if I leave you a thousand times, it would hurt me as much or even more than it did the first? How come even though we're meant to be with other people, I'm drawn to you? Ever since the day I met you, I knew y...

"Here you go," I say, smiling while lighting Matt's candle as we stand looking up at the sky for the comet.
"Thanks," he returns, then turns to Elena, who walks up from behinds us and joins, standing next to Matt. Matt lights her candle and after sharing the general 'thank you' and 'your welcome' the line carries on until everyone has a lit candle in the town square.
A small smile plays on Matt's face which quickly disappears moments later. I glance to where he was looking, watching as Elena and Stefan are talking. Matt turns back around with a sigh.
"You don't like new guy much do you?" I ask while a smirk plays on my lips.
In response to my question, he sighs again while glancing at the Salvatore, "how could you guess?" He answers sarcastically.
"Just leave it Matt, alright?" I say, placing one of my hands on his forearm, "I know it's about Elena, so if she's moving on, you should try as well." I say quietly with a small smile knowing that Elena was only about a meter away.
"You make it sound easy." He mutters, looking at me with sadness in his eyes.
I sigh, rolling my eyes at his comment. "Believe me, its not," I start while looking down at the floor.
It definitely isn't easy, that's for sure, faking it till you make it seems the best way to explain my method, but looking into his blue eyes and the sadness seeping through them, I knew he needed any reassurance I could give him.
"However, it does get easier after time." I move my thumb along his arm comfortingly, "you'll find someone, just give it time."
He looks down at me with a small smile, "I know, I know. Its just that you seem to have done it. Elena apparently has. Then there's me, still trying."
I remove my hand from its place and put my head on his shoulder instead, while saying, "I haven't, so we'll do it together."
I see him nod slightly in the corner of my eye before his head rests on top of mine as we whisk away into our own thoughts.

After the event, we all headed to the grill to continue our night. We were all having our fun and our own little conversations, until Jeremy walks up to us.
"Hey, has anyone seen Vicki?" He asks. I notice the slight panic in his voice causing me to frown at him.
"You're her stalker. You tell us." Tyler returns, his arms crossed in front of him. They never learn, do they?
"I can't find her." The younger Gilbert adds.
"She probably found somebody else to party with. Sorry, pill pusher, I guess you've been replaced." Tyler back fires, a small smile on his face. Elena's eyebrows scrunch together in confusion.
