Abby

The next day, I walk downstairs. I packed my bag to go to school, but I am starving. I know some of the girls of my age don't eat breakfast, but I don't understand how. Every day when I wake up, I feel like I can eat like a horse!

When I walk into the kitchen, I see Jeremy and Elena standing beside the kitchen counter. "Good morning!" Jeremy says. I smile wide, "morning." Last night, I didn't talk with them that much. I was mad and heartbroken after hearing what Damon tought about us and I knew I couldn't talk to them about it, so I went straight to bed.

"So, how was your weekend? You looked pretty tired last night," Elena says. I smile my fakest smile and nod, "I was. Damon and I had fun." I look over at Jeremy and see a smile on his face. "I am glad to hear that. I was scared he would be a jerk," he says. I want to laugh and tell him that didn't happen at all, but I can't.

Jeremy and Elena both look scared. "He was a jerk, wasn't he?" Elena asks. I smile, "he wasn't that bad. I mean, he was only a jerk the last few minutes of the weekend." Jeremy looks worried, "what did he do?" I smile my fakest smile again, "not much. Just the way he said it."

Jeremy starts to laugh, "that sounds so girly!" Elena and I laugh with him. "Well, in case you forgot, I still am a girl," I laugh. For a moment, we all laugh. I forget that my heart was crushed last night by the one everyone warned me for. Just for a single moment.

But when we stop laughing, reality kicks in. I feel like I want to cry all over again. Just like I did last night. Only last night I did it in silence, because I didn't want Jeremy and Elena to find out. So in complete silence, I eat my breakfast, get ready and then we leave for school.

When we arrive, I see Emma and Macy standing nearby, luckily. They are the only ones I can really talk to. Last night, I texted them what happened. First, because I didn't want to tell them at school, where everyone could hear it - mostly the vampires between us - and second, because I needed them to know sooner rather than later. They were shocked when they heard about me losing my viginity, but they were also very understanding, luckily. Something I can't imagine Jeremy or Elena to be when I tell them...

But I know Emma and Macy would love to tell me how stupid I was, sleeping with Damon. Especially after I told them he broke my heart the next day. They were really sweet and supportive, but I know them well enough to know that they want to tell me 'everyone told you so' in my face.

Jeremy, Elena and I get out of the car, say our goodbye's and go our own way. I walk towards Macy and Emma and greet them with a smile. "Hey Abby," Macy says. We walk inside and look for the right class. "Can we finally talk about your mistake?" Emma asks. She looks at me like she is dying to rub it in my face.

I laugh and nod, "fine. Since I will probably hear your opinion anyway." Emma smiles proudly, "yes you will. So first of all, don't you dare feel guilty." Macy and I both look at her with a confused look on our faces. "I did not expect you to start with that," Macy laughs. Emma smiles even more, "I know. But it's true. Abby wanted to..." I shake my head, "don't say it. Don't say a name, not the verb, please." I beg her.

Emma nods, "fine. So Abby wanted to do what she did, so why wouldn't she? Do you regret it?" I shake my head. It doesn't matter how bad I felt about him the next day, our moment is one I will remember for the rest of my life with a huge smile.

"So, don't feel guilty! Look back at the moment with a smile!" Emma says. I laugh, "I am." "Good!" "But it's when I think about... him... I feel so sad and heartbroken..." I tell them. Macy puts her arm around me. "You had faith in him. It's not weird you feel this way after what he did!" She says. I smile thankfully to her. "We will just find you some one way better!" Emma smiles.
