A snowy Christmas

Christmas eve

"Bye Bonnie. Bye Zander."

"Bye Elena. Drive safe. Bye Jessica bye Simon."

"Bye." we said at the same time. Jessica was starting to recover from Will's death. It's been hard on her. First dad then her lover. I'm glad Ally is okay. I was invited to go with her family tonight but I wanted to stay with mine. I'm worried about mom though. She has been acting like nothing is wrong but I can see through her disguise that she is heartbroken. She lost the love of her life. I miss dad a lot. I have to put on a brave face though. I need to help in any way I can. We are on our way back home where uncle Damon and aunt Katherine will be waiting. I sat up front with mom and Jesse sat in the back. She was tired so I figured I would give her room to sleep. About halfway home I started dozing off and suddenly the car slid and flipped over, landing on the roof. Then all was dark.

Damon

The next morning

"Good morning sweetheart. What's wrong?"

"Look."

She was facing the television and the news was on. It showed a car crash on the highway and the newscaster was saying that there were three people in the car. Two were teenagers and the other was their mother.

"Turn it up."

"...... there were three people involved in this accident. A mother and her two teenagers. Elena Salvatore was driving and it seems as if the car slid on a thin sheet of black ice. She and her teenage daughter Jessica have been rushed to the hospital. We are still looking for her son Simon. We will report back when we find him...."

"Damon. We need to help find Simon."

"Get changed and go to the hospital. I'm going to find Simon."
