Restless • Lizzie Saltzman

2

Meeting Rae Fell was a happy accident. Lizzie learned Rae's last name and that she was apart of one of the Founding Families of Mystic Falls. She also couldnt help but noticed the dark blonde call her own family cursed.

Which she wonders what that means but she didn't ask. Lizzie the next few days slept because Josie came back to their room but one night she had an episode before bed and just couldn't do she snuck out again.

It was more difficult this time because Josie was asleep by her but she managed.

The blonde found herself at the Grill again. Her eyes found Rae also sitting in the same booth looking tired again.

"Hey."

Rae looked up and met her eyes, "oh hey Lizzie, restless again?"

Lizzie just shrugged, "yeah," it was a lie and she knew it was a lie for Rae too, maybe one day she'll find out why Rae's here and the other way around too.

Lizzie sat next to Rae in silence for a while because neither of them spoke a word. Honestly, Rae seemed sadder today.

"Are you okay?"

Rae looked at her, "I don't know."

"Wanna talk about it?" She suggested.

"Uh," she looked away thinking about it, "my father is going crazy I'm sure of it and my mother never has time for me so I annoy her a lot, we got in a fight today..."

"What about?"

"About dad."

Rae just closed her eyes, "he just isn't the same, talking about the supernatural which isnt even real and how we're all going to die and how maybe we, his own family, are demons too..." She shook her head, "he has totally lost it but mom," she just sighed, "mom seems to act like its normal, that he is still the man who raised me. But he isn't."

Lizzie listened carefully, the supernatural did worry her a bit actually, but Rae calls her father crazy so...

"Who cares what your mom says," Lizzie said, "you know what you see."

"I know," Rae sighed, "and you? Are you okay?"

Lizzie hesitated but Rae had confided in her so, "I have these episodes... I'm bipolar so," she licked her lips, "I'm also a control freak and one of the girls at my school thought it'd be funny to ruin something ive been working on. It just made me snap, I destroyed some things during my episodes making the other girls mad," she explained.

"I have those too," Rae whispered quietly, "and I destroy stuff as well because I have anger issues to add onto the pile."

Lizzie just stared at her, it was scary how much Rae was related to her, and that tugging she feels. What is it? She needs to research it tomorrow.

"Yeah," Lizzie coughed, "uh, at least my sister isn't mad, I have a twin named Josie by the way, she understands but the other girls don't."

"Do you go to an all-girls school or something? I've never seen you at Mystic Falls High."

"I go to the Salvatore Boarding school," Lizzie admitted.

"Oh," Rae raised her eyebrows, "I've heard of that place. I wish I could go there..."

"So do I," Lizzie said without thinking, she really just wanted to see more of her in her life, "uh I mean it'd be nice to have more time to get to know you."

Rae smiled a bit, "yeah it would be nice."

Lizzie smiled back, she liked her smile...
