Chapter Eleven
1266 Words
After all the weirdness from the car wash, last night was no better. Logan Fell was in Jeremy’s room last night. He says he was looking for the bathroom, but the bathroom door was open with the light on so I don’t know how he missed that. Elena was freaking out about something but wouldn’t tell me what. She kinda just shut me out. Plus, I had another odd dream.
Damon and I were drinking and dancing around some big mansion. We eventually started slow dancing and just when I thought he was going to kiss me, he snapped my neck, waking me from my dream. Like I said, it was weird.
I go to the bathroom, trying to get ready for the day, where Elena is looking very antsy. She is fussing with her hair, but it’s obvious that her mind is elsewhere.
Skylar: “Hey, don’t say you’re fine when you’re obviously not. Tell me what’s wrong.”
She huffs before turning to me, letting her hair fall loosely.
Elena: “Just some boy drama. Stefan was keeping a secret and I found out. Now I have no clue what to do.”
Skylar: “Well, why don’t you go talk to him and see if the two of you can fix whatever is going on.”
Elena: “Maybe. I’m just not sure if I should.”
Skylar: “You won’t know until you talk to him. It’s Stefan though, so I’m sure he has an explanation for keeping secrets from you.”
Elena: “You’re right, I’ll go talk to him before making a decision.”
She hugs me before leaving and I get ready for the day.
Honestly, there’s not much for me to do today besides homework and hanging out at home. Caroline is depressed and dealing with some stuff and Bonnie is MIA.
After finishing my homework, I’m just relaxing, reading a book in my room until the doorbell incessantly starts ringing. I groan, setting my book down and open my bedroom door to see Jeremy rushing out of his room.
Jeremy: “Coming! I’m coming!”
Someone is pounding on the door as he rushes down the stairs and I look down to see him letting Vicki in, but something doesn’t seem right. I walk down as Vicki stops making out with him and rushes into the kitchen, raiding our fridge.
Jeremy: “You’re high? Vicki, it’s the middle of the day.”
Vicki: “Could you not talk so loud?! My head hurts. I need quiet.”
Jeremy nods his head.
Skylar: “Hey, what’s going on?”
Jeremy: “She’s really high and apparently starving.”
Skylar: “Oh,”
I go on the front porch and call Matt, who rushes to our house as fast as possible. Once he arrives, he comes inside in a hurry and I don’t blame him. I’m worried about Vicki too.
Matt: “Where is she?”
Skylar: “Dining room.”
He quickly goes in and Jeremy meets him at the entrance.
Matt: “What’s she on?”
Jeremy: “I-I don’t know.”
Matt cautiously gets closer to his sister, bending down to see her face, taking her sunglasses off.
Matt: “Hey, Vic, how you doin?”
Vicki: “Not good, Mattie. I hurt.”
Matt: “Okay, where does it hurt?”
Vicki: “My gums. My jaw hurts. My gum, there’s something in my gums, and it hurts.”
Matt: “Okay, well--”
He tries to help her, but she slaps his hand away.
Vicki: “No. Just leave me alone.”
She’s crying from the pain.
Matt: “Come on, Vic. Don’t be like that. Let’s get you home.”
Vicki: “Just turn it off!”
Jeremy: “Turn what off?”
She gets up in a hurry.
Vicki: “The talking! The chatter! Just turn it off.”
She pushes past us and walks into the living room where the news is on, with the volume so low we couldn’t hear it. I turn up the volume, because it seems like something important is happening.
Logan[On TV]: “Three bodies were found dead in what is believed to be a drug deal gone awry. The bodies have yet to be identified. They were discovered earlier today over at the old Mystic Falls cemetery.”
Jeremy: “That’s where we were last night.”
Matt: “What happened, Vic?”
Logan[TV]: “...homicide and are fast on their way looking for suspects. They’re asking anyone with information…”
Matt: “I’m calling the cops.”
Vicki: “No. Don’t.”
Skylar: “What happened out there, Vicki?”
She’s freaking out as if the whole world is overwhelming her, but Jeremy grabs her attention.
Jeremy: “What happened after I left last night, Vick?”
She shoves Jeremy away so hard, he falls back into the couch, surprising all of us.
Skylar: “Jeremy!”
I bend down to see if he’s okay, helping him sit up and Matt tries to help as well.
Matt: “Jer, you okay?”
Jeremy: “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine.”
He pushes our hands away.
Matt: “Damn, Vick.”
Skylar: “What the hell, Vicki?”
Elena and Stefan walk in, confused by the scene before them.
Elena: “What’s going on?”
Matt: “She’s really messed up.”
Skylar: “She almost hurt Jeremy.”
Stefan: “Elena, back up. [He gently guides Elena away from Vicki, looking Vicki in the eyes.] Vicki, look at me. Focus. You’re gonna be fine. [She nods, focusing on his eyes.] Everything’s gonna be fine. Guys, take her up to bed. Shut the blinds. She’s gonna be okay. Come on.”
Matt takes her upstairs with Jeremy. I was gonna stay down here, but Stefan starts guiding me out of the room. The touch of his hand on my arm causes a flash of Damons face in my head and I stop in my tracks.
Skylar: “Wait, hold on. Does this have something to do with Damon?”
He pauses and looks stunned at me.
Stefan: “What would make you think that?”
Skylar: “It’s just a feeling I got.”
He looks me in the eyes and his pupils start dilating.
Stefan: “I’m not sure, Skylar. Just go upstairs and everything will be fine.”
Skylar: “Stefan, are you okay?”
He blinks a few times, very confused and I’m a bit worried about him.
Stefan: “I’m fine.”
Skylar: “Your pupils were just dilating. Kinda like something’s wrong with your eyes.”
Stefan: “I’m fine, it’s just the lights. Just go upstairs for now, please.”
Skylar: “Alright.”
I give him and Elena a questioning look before going upstairs.
I stay with Matt, trying my best to comfort him while he’s worried about Vicki. We decide to go downstairs, knowing Jeremy is managing to help Vicki calm down. Almost immediately when we get downstairs Vicki comes running down and rushes out the front door with her shoes in hand.
Matt: “Vicki! Vicki!”
We chase after her but by the time we get outside, she’s gone. Elena and Stefan come outside and then Jeremy.
Jeremy: “She was fine, and then she just, she just freaked out.”
Matt: “I’m gonna go look for her. Call me if you hear anything.”
Skylar: “I’ll help.”
Matt and I get in our cars and begin our search by splitting up.
