A/N: So I would like for you to at least tell me how you like it so far. Anyways, happy reading!
"Alright. Enough. Dulce, go to the bonfire. Go home and get ready, your shift is done here anyways. The hospital won't miss you, go." Lydia says from besides me. "But I don't want to go. People that breath are there!" I pout causing her to laugh. "Yes, that's the point. Beside, I heard there is a new student, maybe you can make friends with them. They might not be annoying if they showed up Caroline." I raised my eyebrow in confusion. "Someone showed up Caroline? Wow, they already have my interest. Fine I'll go, maybe I can get a bit buzzed." I say before grabbing my bag from underneath the desk.
"Have fun with that." Lydia calls out as I wave goodbye to her. God, I have a feeling it was going to be a long night. Shuddering I got in my car, before heading home.
…
It was already nine when I got there, and people were drinking and talking. Some were acting like idiots. Why am I not surprised by this? I scoffed before heading to grab a cup of beer. Turning around I saw a blonde looking at a bag of marshmallows in befuddlement. I chuckled before walking towards her. "Hey." She glanced up at me in confusement.
"My name's Dulce, you must be the new student. I hear you took a position in the cheer squad. Congrats, by the way, Forbes doesn't let anyone near it." I say to her causing her to laugh. Wow, aren't I just funny, this must be the third or maybe even fourth person that I got to laugh. "Thank you. I'm Rebekah, so what are these."
"Marshmallows, not as good with them just like that, It's better burnt. The gooey stuff inside just makes it all the more better." I say as I showed her, before handing her the stick. Taking a bite of it a bit hesitantly, her eyes seemed to pop. "This is actually delicious." She says as I took in her british accent. Now why did that sound familiar to me. I smiled at her before survey the area around me. I spotted Elena by the keg stand. Casually taking a sip of my beer I rolled my eyes at her antics. Not noticing Rebekah seeing the gesture, until she made a comment about it.
"So I take it you aren't a big fan of Elena?" I laughed. "What gave you that idea? The eyes of disdain I sent her way? Or the fact that she is probably going to cause the world to burn before any other idiot? Well, to answer your question, I don't. She and her merry band of misfits are the worst part of my days here." I chugged my beer before grabbing another one. She laughed outloud drawing attention from the devils themselves. "Oh and I thought I was the only one. It's nice to know I'm not. And to think that I have to live with two of them, which might as well be all of them. I'm told they all like to come over to boarding house." I hissed. "Sucks to be you then. Well let me know if they ever get too annoying, I have more than enough space at my house." I say. "I'll keep that in mind." She replies back as she went to take a sip of her drink. "Looks like Salvatore's older brother is heading this way, I should probably vamoosh before he sinks his fangs in me." I smirked as I saw that he halted in his steps. She smirked along side me. I turned away from them and headed into a different direction.
…
I was home now. Home sweet home. Sighing I headed up towards my room to take a shower. Taking my clothes off, I was finally inside. The cool water hitting me as I hummed along to the song playing on my radio. If they had kept their voices down then maybe I wouldn't have know. But they didn't. Slam. My head shut up. What the hell was that? I turned the water off, wrapping the towel around me I stepped out of the shower. I looked around my room. "Who the hell is in here?" I asked aloud. Silence. I huffed. "Come one Dulce. It's nothing. Just like always. Its just your mind playing games with you." I headed towards my bedside table grabbing my medicine and drinking the water next to it as I shoved two pills inside my mouth.
…
I was now in my pajamas, sitting on my bed. Eyes darting around my dimly lit room. I felt another slam across the my room. Crawling forward across my bed, I saw a picture frame on the floor. Stepping off my bed I walked towards it. Kneeling, I picked it up, seeing a picture of Rebekah, Stefan and I, along with someone else. When was this? I don't remember this. I dropped back on the floor and backing away, scared. What the hell is going on?!
…
I stayed up the whole night. Unable to sleep. All I could do was pace around my house, jumping at the slightest of sounds. I kept peering into my room to still see the picture of the four us on the floor. Noticing that we were wearing attire of that in the 1920s. The picture was also old. You could see the the wrinkles within the frame. Though, I still found it unexplainable. I kept trying to rationalize what was going on, but nothing came to me. Finally I looked at my cellphone on the kitchen counter. I needed to find out what the hell was going on. And I needed to as soon as possible.
…
I heard a knocking at my dear, causing my head to snap up from the picture that I brought down with me, from my last trip upstairs. Still in pajamas, looking through the peephole I saw Rebekah. Quickly opening the door, I told her to come inside. She looked shocked to see me still underdressed. "Wow. You don't look like yourself. In fact, you look dead." I laughed a bit forcefully. "I feel it. With the night I've had." I say rubbing my face with my hands. I looked back at her, with an uncertain look. Because I still thought I was going crazy. That everything I've been through, was finally catching up to me, just like the doctor's said. Just like my psychiatrist said it would.
"What's wrong Dulce?" I saw worry flash in her eyes as her eyes searched around the place before resting back on my rigid form. I scoffed. "I don't really know what's wrong. I mean, I didn't need to see my psychiatrist again, until Stefan and his brother came to town, but now I'm actually considering it. Though before I make any rash decisions, I need you to clear it up. Please" I plead her, forcing myself not to breakdown, because I do NOT do those things. It wasn't in me to.
She nodded. "Yes, anything." "Follow me." I lead her to my living room, motioning for her to sit with me on the couch by the fireplace. I grabbed the picture frame from behind the pillow. "What I'm about to show is what has been keeping me up all night. It's something, that I need you to clear up with me before. And before I show you… I have one important question to ask. Did you know before you came to town?" I asked monotonously. Her eyes widened. "What are you talking about?" I handed her the picture frame, "Now answer the damn question. Did you know me before you came to town?" I hissed.
