Broken Reality (The Vampire Diaries)

Chapter 7

The car crash had faded some of Audrey's memories and they were returning to her. She remembered the picture. So there she was. Standing before the Salvatore house, about to knock on the door. She breathed the outdoor air. She searched her bag for gum. She had just smoked, again. She placed the gum in her mouth and started chewing. She dug also parfyme and sprayed a layer on her. She ran her hand through her curly and volumnes brown hair. She knocked on the door.

"It's open!" a female voice shouted. Audrey pushed the door open and walked slowly inside with her heels causing an echo. She got greeted a blonde girl with straight hair. She had black clothing on and boy did she look surprised.

"Is Stefan here?" Audrey asked with a raise of a brow. She walked closer to the girl and looked at her from head to toe.

"Who are you?" the blonde one asked. Audrey narrowed her eyes on the girl and spoke up.

"Audrey, who are you?"

"Lexi," she said and smiled with a squint of eyes.

"Nice to meet you Lexi. I need to talk to Stefan," Audrey heard a swoosh and got startled by Stefan. He was behind her.

"Why are you here?" Stefan asked rude.

"Did you and Elena break up?" Audrey crossed her arms and raised her brows. Stefan avoided her eyecontact.

"Stefan!"

"Okay, maybe. She is better off without me," Stefan rubbed his neck and looked at Audrey. She turned around to Lexi.

"Are you a vampire?" that made Lexi raise her brows and nodded. Audrey turned back to Stefan.

"Was Katherine a vampire too?" she asked.

"What do you know?" Stefan rolled his eyes down on the floor. He raised his gaze and it made Audrey grit her teeth.

"I know that Elena looks like her."

"You look like her," Lexi commented. Audrey frowned as Lexi walked next to her.'

"I'm Elena's twin," Audrey said.

"Stefan you have some serious explaining to do," Lexi and Audrey said almost at the same time.

Lexi was talking to Audrey in the Grill. They had really bonded and god was Lexi so much fun! They were taking shots with Stefan and laughing their asses off. The Grill was decorated with warm color's and it was really Caroline's style to throw a party like that.

"To Stefan," Audrey suddenly said and eyed him. Stefan chuckled and took a shot. Lexi wiggled her brows to Audrey and they both drank their shots. Audrey hit the glass to the table and woo'd.

"So how does it feel to be a hundred and sixtytwo years old?" Audrey raised her brow to him.

"Very tiring," he made Lexi laugh.

"I'm going to get more something to drink," Lexi laughed and walked over to the bar. Audrey turned her look to Stefan.

"Lexi is so much fun. Oh my god I love your shirt," Audrey touched his dark blue shirt.

"It's so soft," she sighed.

"You are drunk," Stefan stated and Audrey raised her gaze. She smiled and spoke again.

"I hold my liquor. I've just had a little too much," she smirked. Audrey glared around and saw Elena talking to Damon. Audrey's smile turned to a serious face as she bit her lip. Her look was wondering on the table. She rubbed the temples of her head and closed her eyes for a few.

"Talk to Elena, Stefan. You love her," Audrey said. Stefan lowered his gaze and nodded gently.

"I think I do," Stefan smiled.

"Well isn't that just adorable," Damon was behind Audrey. She felt his presence behind her. It made her spine shiver. Audrey rolled her eyes and snorted.

"Go to hell, Damon," she said under her breath. She searched for someone familiar to her. Bonnie. She hadn't talked to her in a day. Bonnie was sitting alone and probably drinking, but just maybe, because she was a lightweight.

"Ouch," Damon acted to be hurt. Stefan raised his brows to Audrey.

"You are under aged," Damon scolded. Audrey turned around only to realize that she was caught between the table and Damon.

"Yeah and you are over aged," she said with annoyment.

"You are on fire today," he smirked with a raised of a brow.

"Would you like to be on fire? Fire kills vampires, right?" Audrey glared at Damon with a questioning but victorious look. Damon stared at her with his eyes focused on hers. Audrey had a cocky smile on her face.

"Would you like to be eaten today?" Damon got an inch closer.

"Knock it off you two," Stefan said from the back.

"As soon as Damon stops being a dick," Audrey spat.

"Well count my feelings hurt, miss Gilbert," he smiled crookedly and turned around. He walked over to the bar coutner where Lexi was. Audrey sighed and turned back around to Stefan.

"I'm going to need more to drink," she sighed and glanced back at Stefan.

"Look, about Katherine," Stefan started but Audrey cut him off.

"You need to tell Elena," Audrey breathed and raised her gaze into Stefan's eyes.

"I know. I will," he said. Audrey nodded and noticed sheriff Forbes and a girl next to a door. The girl pointed at the bar counter. She moved her glare there and noticed Lexi. She started to move to the counter and so did the sheriff. Damon was sitting next to Lexi. The sheriff injected something into Lexi, vervain.

"What are you doing?" Damon shouted. Sheriff said something to him and started dragging Lexi out. They walked past Audrey and it made her follow them with her eyes.

"Lexi!" she shouted and tried to go after her friend. She felt someone take a hold of her. She got turned around and she faced by Damon.

"Stop, you are making yourself look suspicious," he whispered and held her tight by the arms. She tried to shake herself out of it.

"Let go of me," she said just under her breath.

"Or what?" Damon questioned with a brow raise.

"I-" Audrey started but stopped at that instant. What would she do? Damon was way more powerful and determined. There was no way she could fight that. As she stared at the floor, she felt the strong hold release. He walked past her. She felt the tears burning behind her eyes. She tried to choke back her tears but they shed down her cheeks.

She isn't as strong as she thinks.
