A Few Good Men

  Looking out the window I continue to listen to the music playing on the radio while pulling into a gas station. Getting out of the car I look around at my surroundings to see a trucker and two cars in the parking lot. Looking at the pump I sigh in realization that I have to go inside to pay. Groaning I grab my keys and lock the door walking into the gas station. Looking around I walk up to the cash register when I say, "20 on pump 3" Handing him the money he nods his head. Thanking him I walk back outside to fill up the tank. Filling up the tank I put everything back to the way it was and drive off. Sighing at my hair I realize that the purple is almost gone. Shrugging I look at how pretty the sky is at night. Sighing I think about all that I have to do. 'Step one: Find Avery. Step two: Tell her that I know she is a witch. Step three: Get her to make me a daylight ring. Step four: Talk about the last time we saw each other. Step five: Ask why she left. Step six: Go to New Orleans. Step seven: Find a vamp. Step eight: Willing or not getting their blood. Step nine: Turn into a vamp. Step ten: Go back to Mystic Falls.' My ten step project. Yawning I look up the nearest motel. Sighing with relief cause it's only 5 miles away. Speeding up ever so slightly wanting to sleep since I've been on the road for 6 hours. Finally getting to the motel I pull up. Getting out of the car I walk over to the entrance to buy a room of the rest of the night. I walk up to the guy saying, "Do you have a spare room? And how much?" Smiling creepily he looks me up and down saying, "Yeah I have a room." He leans over an whispers, "It won't cost a dime if you show me your body." Rolling my eyes I push his head away and take my wallet out of my pocket and hand him fifty dollars. "I'm not showing you anything ass wipe." Rolling his eyes he huffs and hand me a key. "Room 40." "Thanks." I back away from him and go to find the room. Looking around I see room 40 across the way. Groaning at the walk I quickly jog over to the room wanting to sleep as soon as possible. Finally getting to the room I unlock the door wanting as mush sleep as possible, looking around the room to make sure that I'm alone. Sighing I walk in, quickly locking the door to keep out intruder's. Walking over to the bed I flop ready for sleep when I remember to call Jer. Grabbing my phone I type in Jer's number hoping that he's still awake. I hear the phone click. "Hello?" He said groggily. "Sorry Jer did I wake you?" "What? No of course not." He lied with ease. "What's up sis miss me already?" Snorting I lie. "Of course little bro. Hey don't be reading my journal. Just an fyi." I know he's smirking, but little does he know that I want him to read it. Because I can't say anything. "Well little bro I have to go. I have to be up early tomorrow." "Okay sis. Bye" I hang up not wanting to say bye. Scooching up on the bed I close my eyes when I hear my phone ring. Not looking to see who it is I answer. "Amelia where are you?" Sitting up quickly my eyes widen. "No where Damon." "Tsk tsk tsk. You better tell me." Shaking my head I lay back down. "Nope. And you can't ask anyone cause I didn't tell anyone where I'm going. So good luck." I hang up turning my phone on silent, so no one can call me. Rolling on my side I fall into a dreamless slumber.

    Waking up to the bright light in my room I sit up stretching. Looking at my phone I see that Damon had blown up my phone with text messages. Sighing I ignore them, going to my bag I pick out the clothes I am going to wear. A black crop top, high waisted acid washed shorts and black converse. (The lilac is how here hair looks. Ignore the face.)

      Getting dressed I quickly pack all my stuff back up and head out to the car. Going back to the office I hand the guy from last night the key. Slowly taking it from me he touches my hand as much as possible. Pulling away I go back out to the car and driving to see Avery. About after an hour of driving I get a phone call. Being stupid once more I answer it without seeing who it is. "Hello?" "Amelia where are you?" Rolling my eyes I answer, "No where Elena. What do you want?" The line goes silent and I was about to hang up when she says, "Bonnie's grandma died last night." Slamming on the breaks im shock, "What?" I can hear her sniffling, "She died after opening up the tomb last night." Breaking down I hang up on her. Sighing I lay my head on the steering wheel. I jump up when the person behind me honks their horn. Flipping them off I continue to drive. After driving another hour and half I finally pull the car to stop as I take in the small apartment building. I look at the paper and read the apartment number. Sighing I get out of the car not ready for this. Wandering around I keep looking at numbers trying to find 321. Stoping I sit on the bench trying to catch my breath, when I look up and see the number 321. Smiling I stand up and walk over to it. Taking in a breath I knock on the door when she answers. "Amelia?"

      Smiling I look down then look back up at her, "The one and only." I can she as her face shows that she doesn't know what to do." Shaking her head she pulls me into a hug, which I gladly give back. Closing my eyes I let a tear escape. I pull back as she says, "Come in. Come in." Smiling I follow behind her. I sit down on the bar stool. She takes a beer out of the fridge and hands me one. She finally breaks the silence, "How did you find me?" I smirk, "Your grandma was helpful." She shakes her head. "I didn't tell her.... Wait?" Before I can respond she uses her powers to pin me to the wall. "That's not very nice Avery." She huffs debating whether or not to put me down. "If I didn't know then I sure as hell know now little Avery is a witch." She sighs putting me down. I fall on my ass when she walks over giving me her arm to take it. Smirking I grab her arm and pull her down to the floor with me. She falls on my lap when she quickly stops me from speaking, "Don't you dare Amelia." I raise my hand in defense, "Alright. But I do have to ask can I sleep here tonight? Please?" I give her puppy dog eyes when she sighs in defeat. "Fine." She stand up and leaves me to get up by myself. My phone starts ringing and I go to ignore it when Avery comes out of no where and answers it for me. "Hello?" I hear someone mumble from the otherside. "No sorry Amelia is a bit busy at the moment, Damon did you say your name was." As soon as she said the I get an idea, "Get back in bed baby. Whoever it is can wait." She looks at me confused but realizes what I'm doing. "Sorry Damon I will have to get back to you later. Bye bye now." She hangs up and throws me my phone. I catch it and turn it off when she says, "An ex?" I shake my head. "Nope. Someone who broke my trust." I look at her with broken eyes, "Amel...." I stop her before she can say anything. "If you don't mind I would like to take a nap. Where will I be sleeping?" She point to the back room, walking past her I let the tears I was holding in come out. Walking in the room I get in the bed silently crying myself to sleep.
