You Are Worth Saving {COMPLETED ✔️}

Ten

Abby

The next day, it's Saturday. For the first time in a while, I am home alone. Jenna and Alaric are out to god knows where, Elena is with Stefan and Jeremy is hanging with some friends.

Thank god it's finally weekend! This week felt like the longest in my entire life! But, luckily it went better than I could imagine. The 'going back to school'-part and the 'being back home'-part at least. I am not talking about the 'Damon'-part or the 'animal attack'-part.

I can't believe my principle got killed by some animal... How could that ever happen? Does that mean the wild animals are near by? What if that animal wasn't alone? Or maybe he will come back for more?

I snap out of my worried mind by the front door that opens and seconds later, Jeremy walks in. "Hey!" He says. I smile, "hey! Shouldn't you be with your friends?" He takes a seat at the kitchen table. "I was, but I have to work in half an hour," he tells me. "So you're leaving me again?" I ask, pretending to be upset.

Jeremy smiles, "you can come with me?" I laugh, "and work at the grill? No thanks!" Jeremy laughs with me, "you don't have to work at the grill, you can also just hang there." I grin, "oeh, will I get family discount?" Jeremy laughs even harder, "not a chance!" I look sad, "not even twin discount?" Jeremy grins, "maybe I can get you some." I laugh, "you will?" "For you, anytime!" He smiles, "so, are you coming?" I smile, "why not?"

So, that's what we did. I went to the Mystic Grill with Jeremy. Jeremy went to the bar to get changed and start his shift and I took a seat in a booth. I brought my homework with me, so I could work. I don't want to get more behind on everything than I already am, so I figured it would be smart to use my time here to work.

"Can I get you something, Miss?" Jeremy asks. I laugh, "well, a beer would be nice." Jeremy's eyes go big, "did our grandparents let you drink beer?" I laugh, "of course not, I was kidding! I would like a Cola, please." Jeremy smiles, "will come right up!" Jeremy walks away. I get my book and notes out of my bag and start working.

After an hour or so, I look up when I hear a familiar voice. I turn around and see Elena walking inside the bar. I stand op and smile at her when she walks towards me. "Elena!" I greet her. I immediately notice she changed her hair, it's curled. "Hey Abby! I am so glad I found you!" She says.

I lift my eyebrow, "why? What's going on?" Elena looks worried and scared. "You need to get out of here with me, now!" She says, trying not to freak everyone else out by her anxiety. I quickly grab my stuff. "What is going on?" I ask her. "I will explain everything in the car, but you need to trust me, okay?" She says.

I look back to Jeremy, who is standing behind the bar, not noticing Elena at all. "What about Jer?" I ask her. "He'll be fine. It's about you," Elena says. She quickly walks out of the bar, so I follow her.

When we get outside, Elena gets into a car I don't recognize. "Whose car is this?" I ask her. "I borrowed it. But I will explain everything on the road, let's go!" She says while she gets in the car. I quickly get in as well and put on my seatbelt.

Elena starts the car and starts driving. When I say 'driving', I mean 'racing'. I have never seen her drive this fast. "Are we in a rush?" I ask her. I mean, she is a good driver, but she is over speeding.

"We are. I need to get you as far away as quickly as possible," she says. "Why? Tell me what's going on!" I say while she dodges another car.

"It's Damon," she says and my heart goes crazy within seconds. "D... Damon? What about him?" I ask, scared. "Damon lost it. He is coming after you," she tells me. I forgot how to breathe. Damon is coming after me? What is he planning?

"Why? I mean, I know he threatened me, but I didn't think he would actually mean it!" I tell her. "Well, he did mean it. He came to our house and ask me where you were. I knew you were here, so I told him otherwise, but then he slashed the tires of my car," she says. My eyes go big and the fear is racing through my body.

"Is... Is he gonna do the same to me as he did to Vicki?" I ask her, scared of my life. Elena looks at me, but doesn't say anything. Her eyes go back to the road when she passes another car. "Elena? Is he going to do the same to me as he did to Vicki?" I ask her again. "He is..." She says.

My breathing speeds up. "How do we stop him?" I ask her. I can actually cry of fear right now! I didn't know I was so scared of him... "I am driving you as far away as possible while the others will find a way to stop him," Elena says. I nod and try to slow my breathing. "How are we gonna do this? We can't drive forever!" I tell her. "I will find a way," she says.

A couple of hours later, Elena parks the car. We drove all this time. We only stopped for gas, which took less than five minutes. Now it's getting dark. We decided to stop and spend the night at a motel. Elena said that she contacted Stefan and that Damon isn't close at all.

I can't believe I am really running for my life... I mean, I kind of did it before when I left to live with my grandparents, but not like this! There was no threat there.

I take a seat at one of the beds. "I will call Stefan outside. Stay in here, don't answer the phone for anyone! Stefan said that Damon is trying to find a way to contact you through others' phones!" Elena says. I nod, "I won't. Be quick."

Elena smiles and walks outside. I decide to lay down for a moment. All this running give me so much stress...

My moment of peace is destroyed by the ringing of my phone. When I get it out of my pocket, I see Jeremy is calling. I am doubting. Can I answer this or no? Elena said I shouldn't answer my phone for anyone, but this is Jeremy that we're talking about!

I decide to ask Elena. If she's on the phone with Stefan, maybe he can tell us where Damon is right now. I try to open the door, but it won't open. I check the locks, but nothing is blocking it. I try it again and again, but it won't move.

Then I hear someone talking. I put my ear to the door and try to listen.

"Stefan! Always nice to hear your voice!" I hear Elena say. I shouldn't listen to this... But I am kind of wondering what Stefan has to say...

"She is with me, indeed. Yes, she is fine, for now." She says. Yeah, fine till Damon gets us...

"As long as you keep anyone away from us! I swear if I notice anyone is onto us, I will..." She says, but then stops. "I knew you would understand," she says kind of proud. "What you need to do? Simple, meet me somewhere! No, I won't say where right now. I will text you an address tomorrow. Come alone! Or else I will make sure you'll regret it!" She says, kind of evil.

"I am looking forward to it. Bye now!" She says. I hurry back to the bed I was sitting on and take a seat again. I know I shouldn't have listened, but I couldn't stop myself. Besides, we promised 'no secrets' so I am allowed to know, right?

Elena walks in again. "All good. Damon is still in Mystic Falls, so we're good here for now," she says. I smile, "that's great. Did Stefan say anything else?" Elena shakes her head. "Nope, that was it," she says.

I smile, "great. So we're gonna stay here and drive on tomorrow?" Elena smiles, "I think we will stay here, tomorrow." I lift up my eyebrow, "shouldn't we keep going?" Elena shakes her head, "not necessary. We're good for now. Besides, Stefan is coming over tomorrow!"

I pretend like I didn't know that already, "he is coming here?" Elena smiles, "yes! He misses me." I can see the big grin on her face. "I guess you miss him too, don't you?" I ask. Elena smiles, "I do. So I am really happy to see him tomorrow!"

My phone rings again. I grab it and see Jeremy is calling, again. "Elena..." I start. She comes closer to me and I show her my phone. "Don't answer! Damon is still in Mystic Falls, so he could've easily stole Jeremy's phone to call you," she says. I nod, "you're probably right."

Elena grabs my phone from me. "Why don't I hold on to this, so you can't get tempted?" She suggests. I smile, "probably for the best." Elena smiles, "it is, trust me." A weird grin appears on her face, that I don't understand and makes me feel uncomfortable. She's probably thinking about seeing Stefan again, or something, I figure and smile back to her.
