Not Being Yourself

Inanna POV

Come on Jeremy, Elena going to school! Walking out the door now!

I opened the door to see....Uncle John

Inanna! He said with a smile

Uncle John! I said wrapping my arms around his neck

everybody hated John except for me

Jenna. He said looking towards her

John, you made it.

I said I'll be here before noon.

He entered the house

Oh what you say and what you do are typically two very different things.

Jeremy came down the stairs.

Uncle John, what's up?

Hey!

Jeremy slapped him on the shoulder and left

I had some business in town I thought that a visit was in order.

How long are you staying?

I don't know yet.

Okay, well, I'm gonna go to school, I'll see you later I said giving him a kiss on the cheek

Matty and I were walking down the hallway

He said his trip is open ended.

Uncle John, I never really liked that guy.

I dont know why im the only one who likes him, hey maybe I like people who aren't liked

As in Damon He said

I glared at him and He changed the subject real fast

Thank you by the way, for just...for everything you did at Vicki's funeral and the memorial. I couldn't have done it without you

Of course Matt.

So, was Caroline still baking for you guys, around the clock?

She finally went to her dad, which is a good thing because my mom was going to strangle her if she dropped off one more lasagna.

I laughed

Kelly is just...not used to people like Caroline but she'll get used to it

Yeah I freaking hope so

you know my mom talks about you

Really?

Yeah, you were always her favorite

That's not surprising, I'm awesome

He laughed

Yeah, yeah you are

I smiled

I was talking to Alaric in his classroom

I made a copy of a paper Jeremy wrote for me. I think you should take a look at it.

He gave the paper to me

I read the title: "Fact or Fiction: The Truth About Vampires in Mystic Falls".

Jeremy wrote this? I asked frowning

He's very clear that he didn't think it was real.

I really hope you're right because I've done so much to protect him from all of this.

I gave him back the paper

So, how do you deal with it?

What do you mean?
