I sat in the passenger seat of my truck, which was being driven by Liam, who had been assigned to babysitting me. "Turn left." I told him. "You're not the GPS, Theo." he grumbled. I shrugged. "The GPS doesn't know where the Boarding house is." I pointed out. He rolled his eyes. "Whatever." There was silence until we pulled into the lot of the Salvatore Boarding House. I smiled for the first time in two days. I jumped from the moving truck and Liam eventually followed me to the door. I pushed it open. "Honey I'm home!" I called out. "THEO?!" Caroline's bubbly voice shrieked. I ducked as the blonde baby vampire herself came hurtling down the stairs. "OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU!!!! YOU GREW LIKE FIVE FEET!!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!" I winced as Care screamed in my ear, hugging me tightly. Liam stood awkwardly to the side. "Okay easy, Care. Wolf hearing, remember?" I chuckled. She looked apologetic. "Sorry Theo. Who's this?" I followed Caroline's gaze to Liam. "Oh-this is my friend from Beacon Hills, Liam Dunbar. Liam, this is the sheriff's daughter, Caroline Forbes." Liam shook Care's hand awkwardly. "Hi." He mumbled. Care grinned. "I like you." She decided. I rolled my eyes. "Hey Barbie, can you not-THEO?!" Damon embraced me tightly next. I grinned. "Hi Uncle Damon." He ruffled my hair. "You look more like your dad every day." He shook his head, releasing me. "Theo!!" Elena wrapped her arms around me. "When did you become a vampire?" I asked, breathing in her sweet scent. "A while ago." She replied. "Where's dad? And mom?" I asked eagerly. "Rebekah and the other Originals have vanished, and Stefan is kinda a long story." Caroline replied. "What do you mean, the Originals have vanished?" I inquired. "We haven't seen them in weeks." Damon said. I pulled out my phone. "Theo, what happened to Jer?" Elena asked quietly. I felt tears sting my eyes again. "We weren't fast enough. Kol...Kol killed him." I whispered. I felt Liam's hand wrap around my wrist and I met his sympathetic eyes. "Oh my god..." Care whispered. Elena hugged me tightly and I held her like I could stop her from breaking. "I tried to save him...." I whispered. "I know you did." Elena cried. "I'm sorry....I'm so sorry." I sobbed. An: I know how horrible I am. My friend is probably wanting to murder me for this. Thank you for comments and thanks to all my lovely readers! Next chapter will probably be out soon! Thanks again. -Dakota Hale
