A/N: Glad everyone likes the idea, hopefully it will turn out like I want it to. Thanks for the reviews, faves, and alerts. Here's Chapter two.

Chapter 2

"Man I cannot believe that you have your own place it's like a big step to make." Tyler said as he attempted to cut his steak. Matt's smile hadn't faltered throughout the whole day. He was glad that he was maturing now instead of later.

"Matt you know what would make you an even better friend? If you let me through you housewarming party" Tyler uttered.

"Yes, I could call a caterer and we could invite some of your other friends." Caroline said while she put a fork of veggies in her mouth.

"I just want you guys to come over."

"I have to check my schedule." Elena retorted with a smile on her face.

"That means she'll be there." Bonnie said getting a nudge from her best friend. "We all know that you don't do anything but stay in your house nowadays."

"I guess I'm coming then." The brunette said taking a sip of her juice.

"How about you Stefan," Matt asked. "Are you going to come to my get together?"

"Of course I'll be there."

"Yeah, because it wouldn't be a party without Stefan." Caroline said getting laughs from everyone. They talked for about another hour before they were ready to go. "Alright we do have school tomorrow so we shouldn't stay out all night."

"Geez Matt. You sound like my mother." Ty said putting on his jacket. He just laughed; Care had told him his maternal instincts were starting to show a lot. He blamed it on him having a job and paying bills and she agreed.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Lockwood spoke before exiting.

Bonnie turned to Elena getting ready to ask for a ride when she saw her friend make eye contact with Damon at the bar. "I think I'm going to stay for awhile."

Matt looked over to see Elena make her way to Damon. He didn't know what was up with Elena and the Salvatore's but he knew Elena was a smart girl, she could handle herself. And if she couldn't then Bonnie sure as hell would do anything she could to help. "I'm going to start my trek home." the witch started.

"Are you walking?" Stefan asked curiously.

"Yes, I heard it was healthy." She said trying to be funny.

"I can give you a ride home, if you want me to?" Matt asked.

"Yeah Bon we don't want you walking out there by yourself." Caroline inserted. She knew that even though Bonnie was a strong witch, she still shouldn't be out at night by herself.

"I'm sure I can walk 5 blocks to my house." Bonnie said making a b-line for the door.

"Nope you're riding with us." Caroline stated wrapping her arms around the witches.

Stefan could see the defiant stare beginning to form on her face, "how about I just walk with you then?"

"Fine," She agreed not wanting Matt to be a designated driver, she could tell he was tired and just wanted to go home and get some sleep. "Is that okay Caroline?" Her green-eyed best friend answered with a sigh.

"Stefan, you make sure she gets home safely or I'll make sure I kick your ass."

"And I'll help." Matt added. Stefan smiled, he knew Matt was sort of kidding but Caroline was dead ass serious. If anything happened to Bonnie she would really kick his ass.

"I promise." He said motioning Bonnie towards the door.

Walking out, the brisk air hit them, while they began the small journey to her house. She didn't have anything to voice to him. They barely spent any time together unless it was a group activity. She did miss those days were they would hang, when he and Elena were dating, but Bonnie couldn't hang out with Stefan without Elena. For some reason it just didn't feel right to her. It sort of felt like the uncomfortable silence they were in now.

The noise of Stefan clearing his throat made Bonnie realize this was just as uncomfortable as she thought it was. They were friend's right, then why was it like this. She wanted to get back to the times when, if Stefan needed anything, he would ask her and she wouldn't hesitate to help him. It wasn't like she still wouldn't do it now but she just wanted to know him better. "So Stefan you sure you don't want to tell me what happened earlier at that house?"

He sighed before he caved, "I just thought I saw something that's it."

"Like what?"

"I'm not sure." They walked to her house the silence returning. This is going to harder said than done, Bonnie thought.

Matt couldn't believe the day he had. Once he dropped Caroline off he went home to catch some sleep. He walked through the door and threw his keys on the counter. Once he got cleaned up he went into his room and turned on the TV. All he really had in his house was one of those bulky TVs from like the 90's, a bed, some furniture, a few dishes and clothes. After watching an hour of TV, he turned it off and fell asleep.

It was 4 in the morning when Matt awoke to the sound of someone humming in his front room. He slowly sat up in bed as he placed his feet on the floor. The floor's freezing cold, he thought. He opened up his door and began to walk down the hall, as the floor would creak under him. When he was in the living room he heard the woman but didn't see her.

When the voice stopped he headed back to his room, and the voice started again. This time it was coming from outside, he turned around and looked out the window to see someone sitting on the ground, with her legs pulled up to her chest. He walked closer to try to get a good look. That's when he noticed that he had stepped in a pool of liquid. As he slipped in the puddle and hit his head he heard beeping in the background.

He awoke breathing heavily. He reached his hand out to turn off his cell phone alarm. That was bizarre. I could have sworn that that dream was real. He hopped out of bed and began to get ready for school.

Knock… Knock, at the sound of the front door he placed the cup of water down and hurried to the door.

"Coming..." when Matt opened the door Stefan could see that he looked as though he had been eating breakfast. "Hey come on in... Let me get my stuff and we can go."

"No problem." Stefan said as he took a seat on Matt's couch. He was turning on the TV when he had a feeling of déjà vu. He wasn't sure why he would have it, he had never been here before and yesterday he never got a chance to sit down. He attempted to forget but he couldn't shake the feeling this was familiar. As he thought deeper maybe he had done it and just didn't remember.

"Alright man lets go." Matt had his book bag and was making his way to the door. Stefan turned the TV off and followed him to his car.

"So how was your first night in the house?"

"It was okay except this strange dream I had" Matt began to look intently at the ground as he remembered the person humming and out by the lake.

"You want to tell me about it?"

"It was pretty creepy. Someone was standing out by the lake and when I made my way closer to them, I stepped in a puddle of something. I fell and woke up to my alarm clock."

"That is weird."

"That's not the eerie part for me. All of it felt so real, like I had gotten up at 4 and did it all. I probably would have lost my mind if I woke up in the hallway." Matt was now looking at his expression. Stefan seemed like he knew something that he was not telling him. He let it go for now. The two rode in a comfortable silence. When they got in front of the school, they saw the girls coming to meet them.

"Hey big shot what's going on?" Bonnie exclaimed looking at Matt.

"Nothing much" Tyler answered as he tugged on his jacket. Bonnie smiled as he hung his arm over her shoulder.

"I was talking to Matt."

"I know." The witch got a grin from Tyler. She turned back to face her friends when she heard Jeremy's voice.

"Hey Ty, think fast." Her eyes moved to Jer, who hurled the football at her head. She closed her eyes and heard the ball being caught by someone. Opening them back up, she saw that Tyler had caught the ball that was oh so close to her face.

"JEREMY!" She screamed causing him to give her a big smile.

"Sorry Bon."

"Oh you'll be sorry." She said. "Tyler, please get away from me before you and Jeremy are smothered in your sleeps." The wolf laughed as he jogged over to Jeremy.

"Hey have you guys seen Elena?" the blonde asked taking her phone out of her purse. She got no's until Matt looked over the yard.

"There she is, with Alaric."

"Is everything okay with her she seems to distance herself from us?"

"She's having trouble in school." Bonnie answered, "Her grades are slowly dropping, so she's trying to make up work in school."

"She knows we'll help her right?"

"Yeah but you know Elena. She's Miss Independent, she wants to help herself." The words sunk in, everyone knew that was true, Elena was a fighter. Always has been always would be.

The bell rung and Matt turned around to go to class; he didn't have any of his friends in his math class, so he walked by himself. They were lucky enough to have the same class for first period.

The day was going by slow for him, the next class he had was history which had one of his favorite teachers, Mr. Saltzman.

"Okay class, since I forgot to plan what to do for class today, I'm going to tell you a ghost story that happened centuries ago. Now the story has been retold many times so I don't know if the information is correct but hey it's a myth anyways."

A student in the back called out "Is this going to be boring."

Mr. Saltzman chuckled as he answered "No. It has sex, lies, deceit, murder, betrayal, and everything that a teenager would ask for. Can I began?" he looked around the room as everyone was preparing to hear the story.

"Okay it was about 300 years ago" he said as he went around the room "your classic Romeo and Juliet story. Boy wants girl, girl wants boy but they cannot have each other because of their feuding families. The boy was a writer while the girl she loved to be social and was very well mannered age. They were complete opposites of one another and yet they still seemed to be the perfect match. They kept their love a secret and no one knew. It lasted for a year before their parents had arranged a marriage for them to separate people."

"Ummm Mr. Saltzman this sounds like history. Where's the scary stuff?" a student sitting in the front asked.

"Love is scary Alice but okay I'll get to the point. The girl gets murdered in a loft and her lover disappears a year after her death. The police never figured out who killed her so it was considered a cold case?"

"Wow that's harsh poor lady...wait what was their names?"

"I can never remember." As Mr. Saltzman was getting ready to explain the story in detail to them the bell rang. Matt looked for his friends out in the court. He had seen Elena first and walked towards her.

"Hey Elena what were you thinking about?" Elena looked nervous about something. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind." He left it alone as he saw Stefan, Caroline, and Bonnie coming to sit down.

"Hey guys." Matt saw that Elena felt uncomfortable, so he was about to break the calm but Bonnie had beat him to it.

"Did you still want us to come over tomorrow night?" Bonnie asked.

"Yes, that would be great." The table was silent for the rest of the lunch. The rest of the school day was the same.

He had arrived to the house earlier than planned so he finished setting the furniture up and his house items. He had got the entire room and half the kitchen done before he got tired. This night he slept peacefully but it wouldn't be long before the nightmares returned.
