"Stefan?" Elena yells as she enters the boarding house.
"Elena!" Stefan kisses her on the forehead, "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for Betty. I feel so bad for abandoning her yesterday."
"Don't feel bad, you had your reasons. Speaking of, did you find Bonnie?" Stefan asks.
"I went to her grams house, she said Bonnie is out of town for a while." Elena says, "Is Betty here?"
"No why would she be? Isn't she still scared of me?" Stefan frowns.
"I assured her you're a good guy so she felt a little bit better." Elena smiles, "I better go find her, she didn't sleep in her bed last night. Maybe she's with Caroline or something.."
Stefan's jaw dropped. Damon. He must have gotten to her. He had escaped when Stefan got home and found Jughead unconscious.
"Stefan?" Elena asks, concerned.
"Go look for Betty, I have things to do." Stefan didn't mean to sound rude to Elena but he was too worried about Betty to think straight. He couldn't possibly tell Elena any of this.

"Archie!" Veronica hugs the tall red head Caroline had met the night before.
"Ronnie." He kisses her passionately.
"Let's find out table, we have a reservation." Veronica smiles.
The three walk around the fancy restaurant.
"Wow Caroline nice dress." Archie smiles.
"That's my dress. Caroline didn't pack any clothes so she's borrowing mine. Even bras and panties! Lucky we are the same size." Veronica winks at Caroline.
Caroline grins shyly. They arrive at their table.
"You guys sit, I'll go get some menus." Veronica says perkily.

"I'm sorry about Ronnie, she can be a bit intense sometimes." Archie chuckles lightly.
"Don't be silly, she's been lovely to me. I'm so grateful." Caroline assures.
"Are you sure? You looked pretty uncomfortable back there." Archie raises an eyebrow.
"It's just I don't want to third wheel." Caroline tucks a strand of lose hair behind her ear.
"Did I hear you say that you think you're third wheeling." Veronica says, walking over holding menus.
"Something like that." Caroline smiles, taking a menu.
Veronica sits next to Caroline and puts her hand on her shoulder looking into her eyes, "You're not third wheeling, this is just like a three way date" Veronica jokes.

"Okay, Jughead, are you ready to feed?"  Stefan sighs.
Before Elena had arrived at the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan had fed Jughead his blood and explained everything about vampires. Jughead started acting crazy, scared and confused so Stefan locked him in the cell in the basement.
"I'm not killing some innocent to save my own life!" Jughead yells.
"Please, for Betty."
As soon as Betty's name leaves Stefan's mouth both Jughead and Stefan tense up. Jughead misses her and Stefan is worried about Damon hurting her. All Stefan wanted to do was find his brother and save Betty but he couldn't do that without some help from another vampire..or better two. Ellie and Jughead.
"If you don't feed you will die. Betty will lose you and she can't handle that."
Jughead sighs, "Leave me alone."

Stefan raises his eyebrows as he hears a suspect noise upstairs. He races up the stairs and into the lounge room to see what the noise came from.
"Sup bitch" Betty laughs, sprawled across the couch.
"Betty!" Stefan sighs with relief and runs towards her.
He is shocked by an overwhelming smell of booze and pot.
"Where have you been?" Stefan asks sternly, suddenly furious.
"With a boy." Betty winks and then laughs.
"Damon?" Stefan questions, checking her neck for any new bite marks. None.
"God no. He's a vampire and I'm not stupid enough to hang with a vampire... Oh wait.." Betty laughs hysterically, "I crack myself up."

A wave of relief flows through Stefan and he sighs with joy. But then an unknown feeling starts in his stomach. Could it be jealousy?
"Who were you with last night?" Stefan asks.
"Oh I'm gonna need more drinks before I tell you that." Betty grins.

Stefan rolls his eyes and walks to the liquor cabinet which has already been opened.
"Have you been drinking Damon's bourbon?" Stefan grins.
"Yeah, I've been waiting up here for like ever waiting for you to come out of that stupid basement. What were you doing down there anyway?" Betty asks, slurring her words.
Stefan sits next to Betty on the couch holding s bottle of rum and he takes a shot straight from the bottle, "Nothing exciting."
"Sounds suspect to me." Betty smirks grabbing the bottle from him and having some.

"Wanna know who the guys was?" Betty whispers, leaning in closer to Stefan.
"Yes." Stefan also leans closer to Betty, examining her plump rosy lips and her gorgeous green eyes.
"Don't tell Elena."
"I won't"
"It was Jeremy" Betty whispers.
Stefan swings his head back. For a moment he had forgotten they were talking about who she had spent the night with.

"Really Betty?" Stefan says angrily
"What's the big deal?" Betty asks.
"Out of everyone you could have whored around with you chose Jeremy?" Stefan growls.
"Excuse me?" Betty sounds hurt but also angry.
"You heard me. That's Elenas brother!" Stefan stands up, yelling.
Betty stands up too, "You don't have the right to judge me. Leave me alone."'
