Chapter 73: Controlling
The police arrive. Damon, Bonnie and Elena are still here.

Sheriff Forbes: She doesn't remember what happened.
Damon: It's a good thing the girls got here when they did, she lost a lot of blood.
Sheriff Forbes (to Bonnie and Elena): You didn't see anything?

Long pause, Elena and Damon look at Bonnie.

Elena: No, we just found her and then called Damon.
Bonnie: Is she gonna be okay?
Sheriff Forbes: It looks like it yeah. Why don't you girls get back to the party? Damon and I can take it from here.
Elena: Okay.

Elena and Bonnie leave; Damon stays with the Sheriff.

Sheriff Forbes: They didn't see the bite mark?
Damon: No, I got here before they got too close. There was too much blood, they couldn't see it clearly.

They look at each other.

Bonnie goes to her car, Elena follows her.

Elena: Bonnie, can we talk about this?
Bonnie: There's nothing to talk about.
Elena: Bonnie, please!
Bonnie: I told you I wasn't gonna make you choose but I need to make the choice for myself. Please just leave me alone.

She gets into her car, Elena looks sad.

Jeremy is still talking to Giselle when Anna comes up to them.

Anna: hi guys what's up
Jeremy: um... hey Anna
Giselle: Anna? What are you doing here, I thought you and your mother left town
Anna: well my mother decided not to since she said had some "unfinished" business to handle
Giselle: well did you know that Jeremy knows about us being vampires and is actually cool with it
Anna: oh does he now
Jeremy: yeah and I know you were just using me to get blood to your mother
Anna: how did you know that?
Jeremy: like I told Giselle I know everything
Anna: seriously Jeremy, how?
Jeremy: I read my sister diary
Anna: I can explain
Jeremy: don't bother, Giselle was right about you, you just use people for your own personal benefit
Anna: of course you're gonna believe little miss perfect! Did you even get the full story. Yeah I was gonna use your blood to feed my mother with it, but then I realize after spending much time with you I change and started to get more closer to you
Jeremy: yeah right
Anna: I'm serious, when was the last time I ever hurt you after that
Jeremy: (thinks about it) I actually don't know
Anna: exactly
Jeremy: give me one good reason why I should trust you
Anna: because you have gave Giselle another chance and we practically been best friend since we were kids and we always trusted each other
Giselle: yeah that's true but...
Anna: but what? You know I'm right Giselle

Giselle sighs at Anna and said to her.

Giselle: fine I'll give you another chance
Jeremy: same
Anna: so are we all friends again
Jeremy: I mean I'm okay with it as long as Giselle is
Giselle: of course I am (fakes smiles)
Anna: awesome

Jenna walks over to them and calls Jeremy name.

Jenna: Jer, are you ready?
Jeremy: Just a sec.

Jenna smiles at him and leaves and runs into John.

John: Who are those girls that are with Jeremy?
Jenna: His friends, Anna and Giselle
John: What's their story?
Jenna: Why so nosy?
John: I'm just curious; he really seems to like one of them
Jenna: Well Giselle is the Salvatore's youngest sister
John: wait she's Stefan and Damon's little sister? hmm... why haven't I heard of her?
Jenna: maybe because you're never in town to care about others. Anna, she's new in town, I think. She and her mom Pearl, the family who you're so rudely trying to prevent from buying Grayson's building.
John (looking at Anna, Giselle and Jeremy): Her mother's name is Pearl?
Jenna: Yes, so?
John: Well, I believe I already know all about her.
