Chapter 13 - Founders Party

"come on mom. you look great" i took her hand and lead her out to the car. i had a provisional licence so i took the wheel. i did all my checks which meant i could set off.

"be careful Bethany" she said i rolled my eyes.

"mom i know what to do okay i have my test in the next weeks so chill would you." i pulled out and drove on Caroline was out of town visiting Dad and Steven i didn't like Steven that much loved Dad can't stand him his partner, he could do so much better. anyway i was the sober one for tonight at all. i pulled up outside the Lockwood's and gave the keys to mom.

"i will see you later okay" she nodded and i kissed her cheek. i got out of the car i was wearing a long dress half black and gold with black heels my hair was flowing curly locks and i looked about 20. i made my way up to the steps and entered i headed for the bar firs grabbing a soda before looking around. that was when i saw Mrs Lockwood.

i always liked her Mayor and Tyler not so much but in her own way she was kind and sweet. i made my way up to her.

"Mrs Lockwood" she turned around and smiled

"Bethany Darling how lovely you look tonight." she complemented

"thank you Mrs Lockwood but you look more ravishing compared to little me" oh i so knew how to fit into the lifestyle and speak Lockwood.

"you are too kind how is school going i hear Tyler talk of you sometimes he mentioned that you were with Jeremy Gilbert." we walked around

"school is great i achieve B and A a lot I'm soon to take my driver's test. As for Jeremy its true it's been well over a couple of months now at least."  i smiled we approached the Mayor.

"Richard honey doesn't Bethany look beautiful tonight puts the other founding daughters to shame." i blushed

"yes she does"

"Mayor Lockwood" i nodded in greeting

"if you would excuse me I'm off to find Jeremy" i smiled and walked off

"well aren't you the little socialite" i jumped at Damon's voice he walked with me

"well when one is a founding daughter formalities and socialising is key. so if you screw up the consequences are lenient. like you do, mom loves you the ever kind and helpful Damon Salvatore. if word was about you were a vampire" i draw a line across my throat. it was then i saw Jeremy.

"chio Damon." i went and linked my arm through his and guided him through the crowd

"so let me tech you the ways to get in favour with nearly everyone especially people you can't stand." he laughed as we approached the Fell the notorious busy body's.

"good evening Mr Fell you might not remember me Bethany Forbes" i smiled as i held out my hand he shook it.

"why yes i do baby of the family who is this strapping young lad with you" pointing at Jeremy.

"Jeremy Gilbert my boyfriend" the shook hand we began to talk about school and history until he was called away.

"do we have to do this" i was about to reply when Stefan came over.

"may i have a dance with your other half" he asked Jeremy i raised my eyebrows was he drunk.

"uh yeah sure" i let go and went to the dance floor Te Amo he was actually a good dancer.

"well, well. Mr Salvatore dances you should drink more often" i complement standing at the bar getting another soda i looked around for Jeremy.

"i should, shouldn't i excuse me." i tried looking for Jeremy again but Damon stopped me.

"would you like to hear some news" i halt

"do i have to i would like to spend the evening with my boyfriend wherever he may be."

"its quick. well the council is back in vampire mode and oh i just killed dear uncle Gilbert." my head snapped up towards him

"you did what now." i asked but out the corner of my eye i saw him come in.

"are you sure." i pointed towards him and he turned around.

"oh you have got to be kidding me" he mumbled i slapped his shoulder before leaving. i walked through everyone room open until i heard the founders bell ring.

"Hey" it was Jeremy.

"hi where have you been." i kissed his cheek leading bag to the main room.

"i talked with Elena i wanted to see if she would tell me herself about Vicki. she lied straight to my face." i hugged him.

"look not so long to go if you want you can stop at mine if you want to?" he nodded and i took his hand.

"Mom" i called she turned from who she was speaking to.

"sorry to interrupt but Jeremy tired would you mind if he stays at ours?"

"no of course we'll be leaving soon okay" i smiled in response. half an hour later i got into the cruzer and we set off home
