Theadora was laying in bed when she heard a knock on her door.

She groaned, " what is it Zack?"

" Thea, could you come down stairs when your done getting ready," he said through the door.

" Okay," she said. Thea got out of the covers and went to the bathroom to shower. When she was done she got out and wrapped herself in a towel. She ran over to her closet and looked through it. She found a pair of torn up jeans and a black top that crossed in the front showing some cleveage. Thea went over to her dresser put her earring and locket that her Uncle gave her on and ran down stairs. She was almost down the staircase when she heard a familiar voice.

" It couldn't be," she muttered to herself. She walked further down the steps and went into the kitchen, " Zack, everything okay?" She asked coming through the door. Thea stopped when she saw who was sitting at the table with her brother.

" Uncle..." She stammered. She backed away slowly, " Uncle Stefan. Wha.. what are you doing here?"

" Thea, you don't have to be afraid of me," he said sitting up and walking towards her.

" Yeah, you said that last time and still have the briused lip. So your word means nothing to me."

He sighed, " I know and I'm so sorry I did that, but I'm not like that anymore."

She didn't relpy she grabbed her bag and stormed out of the house. Stefan sighed, knowing how she felt about him.

" Uncle Stefan give her time," Zack said walking over to the vampire.

" I gave her 15 years Zack, how many times do I have to apologise."

" And she had to have Uncle Damon save her from you 15 years ago. She's been afraid ever since and you know as well as I do she doesn't scare easily," Zack said to his uncle. Stefan nodded and went to get ready for school. Zack sighed and went back to the counter to finish his coffee.

Theadora's POV:

She was in her car driving to her studio. Ever since he hit her she had been afraid of him. When she got to her studio she parked her car, turned it off, and went inside. When she walked inside she was greeted by her trainee, Haden.

" Hey Thea," she said walking over to her.

" Hey Haddy. What are you doing here? Don't you have school?" Thea asked her.

" Yeah I was just working on one of the routines," she said her British accent showing.

" Okay. Go get ready for school. I'll see after."

She nodded and ran out of the room, " Haddy,"

" Yeah!" The girl replied putting her shoes on.

" I know you like Jeremy Gilbert."

She stayed quiet, " I just want to say good luck."

" Thanks," she said and went outside.

Thea went into the main room were the student's particed. She sighed, Thea had alwaysed love dancing. When she was little and her Uncle Damon would visit they would dance. She , of course, had to stand on his feet because of how short she was. Thea missed her Uncle Damon epecially when her Uncle Stefan was back.

Damon had been the only one to protect her that day. He got Stefan away from her, he was the only one she trusted.

Flashback:

Thea was running through the Salvatore boarding house. She ran down a long hallway and saw her Uncle Stefan sitting at his desk. She smiled and walked into his room.

" Hey Uncle Stefan."

" Theadora, I told you, you don't come in here without knocking," he said looking at her.

" I know, sorry."

" it's okay. So ,given you're here, What's up?" He put his pen down and leaning on his hands.

" Uncle Day, said you were anxious. I wanted to see if you were okay."

He sighed and stood up, " I'm fine."

" I know but you say that but I worry."

" I am fine," he said again.

" I just..." She was cut off.

" I'm fine."

" Uncle Stef..." She started. Before Thea could finish she hit the floor. She felt a stinging pain across her lip and cheek. Thea reached her hand up to her lip and pulled if back. She looked at it and saw blood. Thea looked up at her uncle and noticed his face has shifted. She screamed before she could do anything else she was pushed against the wall behind her. Damon ran into the room and pulled Stefan off her.

End of Flashback.

Thea walked further in the room. She ran her hand along the bar and showed a slight smile.

" You know you really should lock the door," a voice said behind her.

She turned around and saw her Uncle Damon, " maybe I should, I mean, you came in."

He smiled and she ran over to him and jumped in his arms. Damon spun her around and set her down next to him.

" hey kid," he said happily.

" hey Uncle Damon. What are you doing here?"

" I can't come see my favorite niece?" He asked jokingly.

" are you here because uncle Stefan came back?" She asked. Her voice quieter than before.

" nothing's going to happen to you. Not while I'm here," he said placing a hand on her shoulder, " besides I need my partner in crime."

She smiled at him, " I'm guessing this doesn't involve sneaking around the house?"

He closed his his fingers enough to show and inch, " it involves a little sneaking. That's why I need you, you're the best a sneaking around."

" Fine. What do you need me to do?"

" I knew you'd agree," he said hugging her. She laughed with him.

Haden's POV:

I hopped in my car after saying goodbye to Thea. I drove to school and parked. I turned the car off and grabbed my bags. I rushed inside and bumped into Jeremy.

" Oh, I'm so sorry," I said frantically.

" Haddy, it's fine, okay, we just bumped into each other," he said calming me down.

" I know, I know. Um.. so how have you been?" I asked him.

He sighed, " I've been better. What about you?" He asked as we walked down the hall way.

" The summer was bloody boring, but I hoping this year will be bareable," I said as he chuckled, " What?"

" Nothing. I just think it's cute how you go from American to British accent," he answered smiling. God why is he so cute? I thought to myself as we walked down tye hall. It became a regular thing with us last year, I would accidentally bump into him. We would start talking and he would end up walking me to my locker.

" Well, here you are Haddy," he said smiling.

" Thanks Jeremy," I said. He nodded and walked away to talk to Vicki.

I wanted to tell him what I was , but I couldn't drag him into my family issues. God knows I have allot of them, with everything my families done I couldn't do that. Not to him. The only person in town who knew what I was , was Thea and that happened by accident. You know how you forget how to think and speak around someone you really like, well, that's what happened when I was around Jeremy. And I love it.

Caroline ran up to me, " Haddy, good your here."

" Where else would I be?" I asked.

" I don't know anyway. There a new guy , his name is Stefan Salvatore," she said frantically.

" Care, calm down okay. I'll talk to him for you , but I have my own live life to deal with."

She winced, " Jeremy?" I nodded, " if he can't see how amazing you are then he's not worth it."

" You say that everytime."

" And I'm always right," she laughing. I laughed with her and went to fined Bonnie.

" There they are," I said tapping her shoulder.

" Okay, come on," she grabbed my arm and dragged me over to them.

" Hey Bon," I said quietly when we got over there.

" Hey Haddy," she said back.

" Off of me," Elena said loud enough for us all to hear, " Haddy, have you heard from your siblings?"

" Um.. no. Not in awhile I'm sure there fine though," I said removing the sadness from my voice. My siblings have always been a rough topic for me.

" Okay, we should get to class," Bonnie said changing the subject. We all nodded and went to class. I walked passed where Jeremy as and sghed at the though of him self- desturcting. I had history first so I went to Tanner's room.

" Ms. Mikaelson, always the first one in my room," he said.
