Dangerous Minds-Chapter Eleven-

-Jenna-

It was early morning when I found her on the floor of her bedroom, clutching the pill bottle. They've pumped her stomach and they've said that she might need a psych evaluation to make sure she won't harm herself. However, as I sit in the empty hallway with my face in my hands, I can't get the image of her lifeless body out of my head. Alaric and I rushed her to the hospital and he's gone to go get us both some coffee as I pull out my cell phone and check for any missed calls. John or Jillian haven't called yet, I left them a message around 6:30 this morning and told them of the incident. Yet, neither of them seem to be in a rush to call and check up on their niece.

"Are you still sure you want to do this," Alaric pauses, taking a seat beside me and handing me a cup of coffee as I lift my head up to meet his gaze.

"You're having second thoughts about Elena living with us after this, aren't you?" I ask him, my finger going in a circular motion around the rim of the Styrofoam tan colored coffee cup in my hand as he shakes his head, replied simply. "No, not about her. I think it's good that she isn't in Mystic Falls anymore. What I meant was the boy. Jenna, do you really think that bringing him back into your niece's life is a good idea right now? Elena seems very, unstable."

Turning towards my husband, I exhale deeply. "As much as I hate to admit it, tearing her away from him was a mistake. This young man that she clearly cares for very much was a good influence on her. Now, I'm not saying that she should go back to her hometown and be with him. But, what I am saying is that within the next few weeks, Stefan Salvatore should make an unannounced visit here and hopefully it will make Elena feel just a little bit better."

Alaric shakes his head, leaning back into his seat as he looks back to me. "I guess you're right. But, how are you going to get him to agree to being with her after you were the one who tore them apart in the first place?"

Closing my eyes and leaning my head back against the wall, I hear one of the nurses walking out of Elena's room and saying something about her being under a heavy sedation to keep her calm after she had a bit of an episode when they pumped her stomach from ingesting the handful of sleeping pills she had taken.

"I'm going to reach out to his brother. There aren't many Salvatore's in Mystic falls, honey. He shouldn't be that hard to get into contact with." I tell Alaric with a hopeful tone, thinking about how hard it will really be in trying to contact my niece's boyfriend's older brother about their relationship in which he probably has no clue about.

-Damon-

"Aren't you going to answer that? I mean, she is your wife and she's calling you." Katherine points out with a straight face, lifting up herself from the bed as she buttons up her jeans with a heavy exhale. "I swear, these things used to fit better when I was at Quantico with you. Now, I feel like I care barely breathe in them." She laughs, pointing back to the cell phone which is still going off in my hand. Licking her lips, Katherine walks over to me, grabbing it from my palm. "If you don't answer it, I will and then your beautiful wife will know something is up. But, here's the thing, nothing is going on with us because you aren't a cheater and I'm not a home wrecker. So, answer the damn phone while I got get us some coffee and breakfast." She tells me, grabbing her purse and stepping out of the room just as my phone goes to the last ring and I answer it quickly.
