Sweet but Psycho

Chapter 5: You're Undead to Me

It's been a few days and Ryan is loving Mystic Falls. Sure, she never leaves the apartment, but she feels more... happy? Alaric is gone right now, he's checking the town out and getting some food at the grocery store. Ryan agrees to cook more here.

There is a small balcony and a glass door leading onto it. Instead of going outside, Ryan goes to the small closet beside the door and she grabs a curtain. It's solid brown and tulle. It's something Eleanor sent when she learned that Ryan and Alaric we're leaving Massachusetts.

Ryan grabs her phone and texts Myra.

To: My Better half
From!: Ry Saltzman
I love it here, even though I have yet to leave the apartment. I feel happy, which is a plus. I miss you. How's Eleanor? I miss you, again, oh-so much you bitch. Why didn't you come with me!? Ooh, I think dads mom. Love you!
Xoxo 😘

Ryan presses send as Alaric walks in. "So...?"

"Not a bad little town," Alaric claims. "God some groceries. I'll them. You unpack."

Ryan nods and she goes to her new bedroom.

Elena walks into the bathroom and she finds Vicki.

"I- - I'm sorry," Vicki mumbles. "I'm almost done."

"It's - - it's okay," Elena assures her. "Take your time."

Elena heads on downstairs and she leaves Vicki in the bathroom, and she goes to the kitchen to where Jenna is. She walks up your counter.

"Jenna! Are you aware of what's going on upstairs?" She asks as she walks over to her aunt.

"Uh huh," Jenna replies.

"And you have no objection?" Elena asksn

"He could be craftier about it, at least make an effort to sneak her in and out," Jenna replies. "Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner."

"Oh, so you're actually going to do it," Elena grins. "You're gonna go out with Logan!"

"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes," Jenna says. "And have you heard from Stefan?"

"Not since me left thst very vague message three days ago," Elena replies. "Hi, um, Elena, I, um, have something I have to do. I'll, uh, explain in a few days."

"Haven't you called him?" Jenna inquires.

"Nope," Elena replies. "Not going to, either."

"And you're okay with that?"

"No, I'm not okay with any of it," Elena replies. "But I'm not going to cry about it, either. You know, I was going to write in my diary this morning and then I thought, what am I going to write? Honestly, I'm not gonna he pjs of those pathetic girls whose world stops spinning because of some guy."

"Ok then," Jenna replies.

"I'll be fine," Elena assures both her aunt and herself.
