Dani's PoV

This morning me and Elena had to go to the sheriff's office to talk about Vicki going missing. Honestly, it was better in for us to do this than announce that she was dead. Especially since it's easier for those who loved her to let her go, for now.

I had currently finished my interview and was waiting for Elena and Jeremy to finish. Once they had we all walked out of the building and met up with Jenna.
Me and Elena stop when we see Stefan.

"Go, we'll meet up with you guys at the car," I say. They both nod and walk away.

Elena walks up to Stefan and I follow.

"You both okay?" He asks us.

I nod in response.

"I don't think the sheriff suspected anything," Elena says, "Jeremy had no memory at all."

"All he knew was what Damon made him know," I say.

"Thank you," Stefan replies.

"I cant do this Stefan, and I don't think Dani can either," she tells him.

I sigh, "everytime we look at Matt or Jeremy, all we think is about how Vicki is never gonna come back."

"And they'll never no why," Elena chips in, "around you, people get hurt, and people die, and I just--i--its just too much."

Stefan looks at us in sympathy, "Why don't we go somewhere and talk about it?"

"No," Elena says, "Stefan, you have to stay away from me."

She then begins to walk away but I quickly grab her arm.

"Elena, I know you don't want to talk about it with Stefan but I do. So I'm gonna meet you later, okay?" I ask.

She nods in response and walks off to the car.

I turn to Stefan and he looks suprised. I smile at him, "so is there anywhere we could go talk?"

He nods and we go to the town square. We sit an a nearby bench and start to talk.

"So how are you feeling?" Stefan asks.

"I'm alright, still trying to piece together what really happened," I say, "I mean I didn't really know Vicki that well but we grew up together and she was always nice towards me. Unlike Elena. She was pissed at her relationship with Matt."

"Dani, I'm sorry about the situation with Vicki. I tried so hard to help her but i guess she just didn't want it in the end," he apologises.

"It's okay Stefan, I'm used to losing those close to me."

"What do you mean?"

I sigh, "well I lost my parents months ago and even though they were my adoptive parents they both loved me as there own."

"Adoptive?"

"Right, you don't know, I'm not really a Gilbert. I suppose you could say that I have grown to become one but i wasn't born one. My birth parents gave me up 17 years ago and I don't know why."
