"Are you sure you should be going to this party?" Damon asks cautiously as he stands in the doorway to Christian's room.

"Why wouldn't I?" Christian asks standing in front of the body length mirror tying his tie.

"Really? You have to ask?"

"I'm fine, Damon" Christian tells him. "So, what I had  little breakdown a few days ago" He shrugs.

"A little break down?" Damon raises his eyebrows. "You wiped out a whole town in Maryland" He deadpans. "You drank the whole Mystic Grill alcohol supply."

"Yeah? And?" Christian asks looking at him through the mirror. "That was a few days ago, I'm over it now" He tells him. Damon hums unconvinced by his brothers words.

"Just remember, the council is gonna be there. We're already trying to kill Katherine, we don't need you snapping and exposing us" Damon tells him.

"I'll be fine, Damon. I won't interfere with your little plan, I won't expose us... I just want to go and be with Jeremy, alright?" Christian says sounding as mentally tired as he felt.

"Why don't you just hang around the house? Jeremy's part in the plan won't be long, he'll come back when he's done" Damon told him.

"Because..." Christian clenches his jaw and lowers his gaze to the ground. "I don't like where my thoughts go when I'm alone" He answers honestly. "The only time I get any peace is when I'm with Jeremy" Christian turns to his older brother.

"Ok" Damon nods walking into the room towards Christian. "If you can't handle it, leave" Damon tells him. Christian nods. Damon smiles slightly and pats his brothers arm. "Come on, let's go"

The two brothers find Stefan before leaving for the Lockwood mansion. Most of the guests had already arrived but some were still trickling in. Damon and Stefan talk to each other but Christian drowns their voices out as he searches for any signs of Jeremy.

Soon, Christian picks up Jeremy's voice within the mansion. He doesn't hesitate to leave his brothers in search for his boyfriend. He finds Jeremy upstairs away from the party with Bonnie Bennett. 

"Hey, there you are" Jeremy smiles the moment he sees Christian. It made Christian relax knowing that despite how many people he recently murdered Jeremy still loved and wanted to be with him. Jeremy understood how hard it was for vampires to control their emotions, he understood their natural instinct to kill and he didn't judge Christian nor did he try to change him.

"Everything good up here?" He asks instantly grabbing Jeremy's outstretched hand while looking at Bonnie.

"Yeah, we're all good" Bonnie nods feeling slightly uncomfortable around Christian. She didn't trust him a single bit. She had heard what he had done and that only added to her unease about him.
