"I wish I could wake up with amnesia. And forget about the stupid little things. Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you. And the memories I never can escape. 'Cause I'm not fine at all." Singing part of Amnesia by 5 Seconds of Summer softly to myself, I glance around the place. I'm completely unaware that the blonde bartender, whose name is Matt in which I found out, can hear me.

(A/N Matt is a vampire in my story. I'm unaware of any changes to human Matt from after 3 episodes before the end of season 4 because I haven't watched those and season 5 yet. Please do not tell me any of what happens :( it will just ruin it for me. So please be good little fledglings and wait until I have seen that and the episodes of season 5 which I'll probably be buying on iTunes soon. So anyways... on with the story!)

"You sound amazing!" he says, startling me. Good thing I've only had one drink so far. If you know what I mean, that is. I look over at him "Oh um thanks. I'm Aly by the way." He chuckles a little. "You've said that already." I just sigh. "Sorry. It's just that I've never drank before. And I'm underage..." I explain, mumbling the last three words. He nods, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." I smile, "Thanks Matt." Matt just nods again. "So why were you singing that song? Who's the lucky guy?" he asks, teasing me. However, I need more than one drink to tell him the complete truth so I just reply with, "it's way too complicated to explain. I'll tell you the story after a few more drinks." He laughs and nods. Soon enough, I'm given another drink.

-----A few drinks later-----

"...And that's how I ended up here talking to you about my pathetic life." I finish. He just looks at me curiously. "So you're Alaric's daughter?" I facepalm myself. "That's not the point! The point is I'm drinking away my sorrows because of a stupid and heartless vampire!" He sighs and I finally realize. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it like that I was only referring to him..." Matt nods, understandingly. I sigh as well and get off of the barstool. Apparently I'm too drunk to walk at all because I start falling over....before someone catches me.
