The Broken Ones

AN: Ok guys, I have a huge surprise! I've decided to write this story early! This time I will take time to have some sort of storyline and get into some emotional stuff. Be prepared for passion, betrayal, lust, anger, hatred, love, and lots of drama! I'd like to thank loyal Jyler fans out there for inspiration. And I'd like to dedicate this to SnowWhiteQueen21, the person who inspired me to write fan fics and got me hooked on Jyler!

Chapter 1

It's quiet here. So peaceful, so empty.

Jeremy sits in a cloudy mist of smoke. It's dark and cold out, almost past midnight. His body is already numb, as if his soul has already left him. The vibrating motion from his phone awakens him from his daze. It was Elena, probably trying to get a hold of him. Jeremy wasn't in the mood to deal with her concern. He flipped his phone off and began to stare at the lake. The moon lit night caused the lake to look like it was glowing. The view was haunting; it pierced through to his very heart. Jeremy knew that if he died now, he'd die in peace.

A crackling noise startled him. He turned his head up to see Tyler Lockwood gazing at the lake. Jeremy doesn't say a thing; he uses the time to gather his thoughts. Tyler, not noticing Jeremy, stands there and diverts his gaze upward to fix his eyes on the bright full moon. He inhales a deep breath and slowly breaths out, closing his eyes steadily. Jeremy watches in amazement. He's never seen Tyler like this before.

"Rough night?" Jeremy says in a soft tone, breaking the silence.

"Something like that."

Jeremy leans over to his left side to grab a beer. "You want one?"

Tyler takes his offer and sits down next to him, neither of them making eye contact. They both just sit there, staring off into the lake. They don't say a word. It was peaceful. It was nice. Both of them wondering why the other was here, but both were too tired to ask. They were too tired to talk, too tired to fight. The silence was blissful.

Things went dark, as they both fell asleep underneath the large oak tree. The warmth of their bodies kept them from freezing out in the cold.

Tyler wakes to first. He notices that his arms were locked around Jeremy's body. It was probably and unconscious thing. Most likely, it was to keep them warm through the night. Tyler gets up as quietly as possible. He's about to leave as he looks down at Jeremy. Jeremy was so thin and frail. His body wouldn't produce as much body heat as Tyler's would. Tyler takes off his jacket and lays it over Jeremy. He takes off without saying a word.

AN: Yes I know I'm evil for ending it here. Sadly it looked longer on actual paper. I know its short, but long chapters are so overrated. I'll just do short chapters with quick updates.
