Just Another Love Story (Damon & Stefan Salvatore)

Part 24

It's Monday and I haven't exactly slept well. Because of what happened with Sam Friday night, it's scares me about what could happen to him. I'm trying to stay as calm and strong as I can about this but I'm just about to snap. I still have to know more about what I have to come. Then in a month stuff is going to change for Rick. We don't know what it is. Anything could happen and for that reason, it's killing me inside. Then just to top it all off, whatever is coming next year. No one knows exactly what it is or really when it will happen. Also because of everything Damon and I didn't see each other practically all weekend.

"Hey before you guys go home I should tell you something." Sam stopped Rick and I in the hallway as we were about to walk out of the school. Rick looked at me confused.

"What is it?" He looked at Sam.

"Friday, when I was stuck under in the pool; well I was under for about six to seven minutes probably."

"What?" Rick is shocked.

"Are you sure because sometimes when you are drowning your memory can-"

"No, I know I was under for that long."

"I get that you are supernatural but I can't- I mean- I can't really comprehend that?" Rick's very confused. I was thinking for a second about what a kelpie is and what it can do.

"A kelpie is a water spirit." I looked at Rick then at Sam, "That may be why you were able to be under for that long."

"I'm not a fish Skye." Sam said.

"You're still a water spirit though. I mean, think about it. You shower twice to three times a day and you're always more relaxed after a shower. Plus two years ago you'd be out of the shower within five minutes. Now you are in the shower for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Yes sometimes you do take very quick ones but not all the time. Especially when you are stressed out."

"Sam how much water do you drink a day?" Rick wondered.

"I don't know? Somedays I drink more than another."

"Sam in my class today you went to refill your water bottle two times. You finished your water each time."

"Seriously?" Sam questioned.

"Yeah." Rick nodded.

"Sam!" Coach Campbell shouted from down the hall.

"I have to go." Sam said then ran down the hall. Rick and I walked out of the school. We don't really know how to respond from that.

"Alaric." We both looked over. There was a man walking this way.

"Alan?" Rick grinned, "Hey." Rick walked over to him was a big smile. Alan smiled and they gave each other a hug.

"How you've been?" Alan asked.

"Alright, some changes over the past couple of months but since I've gotten here I've been alright. How about you?"

"You know. Same old, same old. My sister just got married, that's something new." Alan smiled.

"Wow, give her my congratulations." Rick smiled. I cleared my throat a little. Rick looked at me, "Alan, this is Skye."

"Hi Alan." I grinned.

"Nice to meet you." Alan and I shook hands, "So you're his student?" He asked.

"Yeah." I nodded with a grin.

"Is she a good student?" Alan looked at Rick.

"Yeah. I'd say she's my best student but I'm not picking favorites. But what are you doing here?" Rick wondered.
