Dysfunctional || Emma Gilbert [1]

Seven

Emma was at her locker when she got a text from Vicky, she had been told over the weekend about what went down at the cemetery by her brother and the whole search party for Vicky thing. Emma was concerned, and texted the older girl multiple times over the weekend only to receive nothing in return. She could only hope that Vicky was off on a bender and not  in many serious trouble. So when she saw the message pop up off of the older girls name she instantly opened it up to read the message in full.

Vik
I'm fine, I just need some time. See you soon! X

Emma sighed and stuffed her phone back in her pocket, she guess she'd be spending her Halloween get wasted by herself.

"Emma" Bonnie approached the eldest twin with a smile, an annoyed Caroline following their mutual friend. "Hey. Have you seen Elena?" Of course they were looking for Elena, they might have been friends but Elena was the twin everyone wanted and Emma was just 'the other gilbert' she had grown use to it over the years.

"Nope" she said popping the p, "but if you see her, tell her to stop taking my car without permission." With that said she shut her locker and stalked off down the hall where she saw Matt leaned against some lockers with his phone pressed to his ears.

She walked over to him just had he moved his phone from his ear with a sad look plaster on his face. She could only guess he just got a call from Vicky she probably said something like the message she sent Emma.

"Was that Vicky?" She asked the moment she was in front of him, not wasting any time.

Matt sighed and nodded his head, "Yeah, did she call you too?" he questioned and she returned his sigh and crossed her arms, her body leaned against the locker next to his as he began to sort through it and his bag.

"she texted me" If Emma wasn't so guarded she'd be yelling at the top of her lung at how worried she was. "I just hope whatever binge she's on ends soon."

Matt rose his brows at her, sometimes he forgot that she had really changed from the girl she once was. If anything she was just a year younger version on his sister, except she was more care free and less caring. 

Emma saw the look on his face, "no judging" she gave him a look, "I told you it was a one time thing" She lied straight through her mouth. The last thing she needed was another person smothering her about her life choices. Tyler had already given her an ear full on the night of the comet as did Elena and Jenna. 

"yeah, yeah" she sighed not really believing her but he let it go letting his worry about his sister fill him. 

Emma opened her mouth to say something but closed her mouth and rolled her eyes when she saw a certain Lockwood boy mkaing his way over towards them. She didn't bother muttering a goodbye as she turned around and began making her way to class for the first time in a while. She didn't feel like dealing with Tyler and something told her he would only continue to ignore her until she apologized.

After and antagonizing day at school Emma made her way home and started getting ready for the Halloween party at the school. All morning she had to deal with people running around the halls with tacky decorations and the smell of pumpkin.  

Her head tilted as she looked at her reflection in her full length mirror. She had been planning matching outfits with Vicky for weeks and the girl wasn't even their to go through with the plan. But Emma wasn't going to let herslef feel sorrow or worry, tonight was about letting loose and having a good time. Granted those things alone were how Vicky went missing and the townie druggie died, she wasn't going to let that get her down.
