Worst Nightmare

Chapter 2

"I can't believe that my mom would think that this is a good decision. She knows how I feel about my dad. She knows that nothing could ever repair what he broke" I say as I look over to my best friend Brooke.

"Alex, I know what your dad did and I know how you feel about him but maybe your mom is right. Maybe your relationship will never be fixed but maybe you can get your dad back. I know you always say how you are better off without him and you could care less that he abandoned you but I know you do. I know that you miss your dad and you should he's your dad. No matter what he did he is always going to be your dad" Brooke says as she grabs my hand in silent support.

I sigh in frustration and throw myself down on the bed. Once in a comfortable position I place my arms on top of my eyes wishing this was a nightmare. Brooke knowing me better than anyone grabs my arms and places them back down on the bed.

After sitting for ten minutes in silence dwelling about my impending doom I sit up. I am not going to let that man ruin the rest of my summer. Once I have to live with Lucifer then I can stew.

"Ok. Let's just forget about my stupid dad and my mom stupid plan. Right now all I want to think about are the Salvatore brothers" I say hoping that they will serve as the right distraction.

Brooke starts to open up Netflix when she gasps and turns to look at me. "Did you tell your mom at my house because I swear to god if I have to deal with the police again I am going to kill you" Brooke yells to me.

"Oh my god. It was one time. When are you going to let it go. Jeez." I reply rolling my eyes at her dramatics.

"One time was more than enough" she yells as she smack me on my arm.

Laughing I tell her that I did, hoping it will calm her down enough to let me enjoy what little time I had before I had to return to reality.

As Brooke is about to press play that's when I remember and start squealing. "Dude I almost forgot to tell you. I was in TikTok today and I saw this video where this girl ordered the necklace that Stefan gave her. It literally look like the exact same thing so I found the exact same one on amazon."

"You ordered the necklace are you serious Alex. The necklace is ugly. What could you possible need that piece of junk for."She says giving me an exasperated look.

"First of all it is not ugly. I admit it's not the prettiest piece of jewelry but it's not that bad. Besides it's the one Stefan gave Elena and you know how much I love Stefan. He is the love of my life. Anyways, I have this whole plan where I'm gonna put vervain in the necklace so that if I ever see a vampire and they try to compel me they'll know." I say explaining my reasoning.

Brooke just shakes her head at me "Alex Grey you are completely and utterly insane and if I wasn't your best friend I would have put you into an asylum because there is no such thing as vampires."

I scoff at her claim ready to prove my theory, "Brooke, the entire theory behind the supernatural is that they are a secret so of course we wouldn't think they exist. But we don't know everything in the world. Scientists are constantly discovering new things and before you know it vampires are going to part of the world."

I smile as I finish explaining myself. There is no way that she can possibly have an argument to go against what I just said. All of a sudden I feel a hand against my forehead.

I look at her puzzled and quickly slap her hand away. She simply gives me an a shrug in response saying "I was just checking to see if you were sick. There had to have been explanation behind your insanity. You don't have a fever so there must be some other explanation."

She pauses for a minute trying to find an explanation when her face lights up, "Do you know if you were dropped as a baby?"

With that being said I lunge at her.

Pulling into my driveway, I slowly put the car into park and take a minute to prepare myself from the incoming rage I am about to face from my mom. She was probably going to kill me. She hates when I leave the house out of anger. She was always preaching about how we shouldn't go to sleep when we are angry with each other, but that's just a rule for couples so that they don't break up. Newsflash though, we were most definitely not a couple and I don't really think you can get away from family no matter how hard you try. I mean I have tried to stay away from my father and look how that turned out.

Sighing, I finally make my way out of the car and into the house. I assumed that the minute my mom became aware of my presence she would have begun to lecture me, but surprisingly the only thing she did was bring me into a hug.

"I'm really sorry sweetie. I know you don't see the good that could come out of this, but I am hoping that you will see that I am trying to do what I think it is best for you." She says as she pulls away from the hug.

"Mom I love you, but honestly I am really too pissed off to be trying to have a rational conversation with you. All I really want to now is when I have to leave" I say.

My mom looks at me with a look, that tells me I am not going to like what I am about to hear at all. At that moment that is when I knew that my summer and my senior year were officially ruined because it appears as if that in one week I am about to officially being shipped off against my will.

"You know, you might have control over where I live at the moment, but I am going to be turning eighteen soon and the minute I do I will be on the first flight home." I say as I head to my room.

This cannot be happening. Senior year is supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead it's going to be the worst.
