When I woke up I heard Jenna coming up the stairs, just getting the sudden hit of my headache. As soon as I got up I threw a top over my head and stood by my doorframe eavesdropping on their conversation,

"Boozy house wife." Elena half insulted.

"Up it is." Both I and Jenna said at the same time.

"So you're up then?" Elena asked with a wide grin.

"You're feisty today."

"I feel good, which is rare. So I've decided to go with happy, walking on sunshine, and all that stuff. Where is Jeremy?" And I edged closer as I stood next to the pair.

"He left early. Something about getting to wood shop early to finish a birdhouse... There is no wood shop, is there..? No." she probed as she came to sudden realization.

"Great. Well that's just great!" I walked back into my room before slamming the door.

He's lying now? Surly Jenna would understand that he wants to see Vicki if he'd have just explained, not to mention that I had to go catch up on some work today in class...10 minutes ago!

As soon as I get back into my room I threw on my skull printed jeans, a plain white top and my 3 ¼ leather jacket, adding a ring and necklace to complete my look of course, and brushing my hair thoroughly. I grab my bag that held all of my makeup for when I had the time to apply it at school, and jump in some shoes before running down the stairs.

"Hey! Why you in such a rush?!" Elena questioned in a half-yell.

I said nothing. I just grabbed my keys and ran out of the house. Adding to my headache more. I did my best to go as fast as I could, not to mention the blinding light that hit my sensitive eyes. I reached into my bag and grabbed out my shades as I jumped into my car and drove straight for the school.

I locked my car before running into my English classroom,

"I'm sorry... I forgot... I've been ill and..." before I could finish he pointed to the chair next to me as he read through his papers.

"Sit." So I followed his instructions and did as he told me.

"Ok, sure, I can totally do that." I quickly put down my bag next to me and looked up to see him still 'looking things over'. It's kind of the thing with him, he's such a douche.

"Quiet." He rudely held his hand up to stop me from talking.

That's my flaw, I let teachers walk all over me, because I know it will help me get somewhere in life. I actually want to be a pathologist, because if I were a surgeon it would only take that one wrong turn and they're dead. But if I were a pathologist I wouldn't need to think about killing them, because they're already dead. Call me morbid, but I find the human body interesting. So I did what he asked, once again, and shut my mouth.

"You're late." I jumped as he slammed the papers harshly in front of me on the desk.

"Yeah, and I'm-"he cut me off. I couldn't expect anything more.

"You realize that you already missed 2 classes this week?" I nodded my head yes knowing if I talked he'd probably cut me off again. "Yes. Of course you do."

SAVED BY THE BELL.

Finally, I could get away from this creep. "No more missed classes again this week. Understood? Oh... another thing, DETENTION! This Friday." I nodded once again as he pointed to the door. "No get out I have a class here this morning." Without hesitation I left.

His loud voice did not do my head ache any good at all. I sat down in my next lesson next to Azz. As I leaned forward I asked for an aspirin. He kindly handed it to me with a grin. And I gladly took the small compressed powder and popped it into my mouth.

"Girl you were hammered last night. Shades." he pointed to my eyes that I had forgotten were covered in my dark sunglasses. I slowly unveiled my sensitive eyes to the bright sun that cascaded through the huge window.

"Don't remind me. Where's Tanner today anyway?" I groaned as I rubbed my temples. Just then she walked through the door like a psychic person. I groaned again.

Finally, we were able to make our way to our cars and get the hell out of school. Azz and I were talking about the comet tonight and honestly, I couldn't care less. This town has so many little events that are fun, but honestly? A comet?

"Hey guys. Whoa! Old book." I stated as I lightly brushed it with my fingers. "Wuthering heights, by Ellis bell. Good book. You know Elena loves this book? It's why you brought it right?" I smiled politely at Elena and Stefan. "Well I gotta go see how Jeremy's doing." I waved good bye to Stefan and Elena, as did Azz.

"I'll meet you in the grill tonight, okay?" I nodded to Azz as he kissed my cheek goodbye. "See ya sweetie." I waved as I laughed at his moon walk to his car.

"Talk about what?" I asked as I placed my keys down on the table as well as my bag and jacket.

"Good, maybe your sister can help." She said as he tried to leave the house. I looked at Jenna once more with my eyebrow high,

"Hey, you! Come. Sit." Reluctantly he did as Janna asked and sat in front of her. "Back in school, freshman year, I could eat my weight in nachos, with extra cheese. It was my munchies food whenever I got stoned." She reminisced.

"You got high?" both I and Jeremy asked shocked.

"Did. Past tense. But, to get a little distraction from life it worked. For a while. Never lasts, I'm not saying I wouldn't love to rail back and kick it, but with a thesis looming and a waistline expanding..." I watched as Jeremy walked off as he got bored and Jenna sighed.

"He'll come around Jenna." I hugged her as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"I'm failing."

"Jenna, you're not failing. He's just having a rough time. After everything that's happened you've helped us through it, that's all we-he needs right now." I corrected myself before I said anything else. "Just give it time." she nodded as she lifted her head to take a look at me.

She didn't say anything. she just smiled. I took a tortilla chip from the bowl, although she slapped my hand for doing so.

"Jessie I'm going to the boarding house to go see Stefan, wanna come." I heard Elena's little voice all of a sudden as she popped her head around the door frame.

"Yeah sure." I smiled at Jenna and gave her another hug along with a kiss on the cheek.

"Whoa! This place is huge. You sure he lives here?" I giggled.

"Yep, pretty sure." She said as we approached the big door. She rung the bell that held its place on the wall, but no answer.

"Try nocking." I suggested to the door knocker on the front. Strangely the door was left ajar. Just then she crept into the house and I would have pulled her back but she kicked my leg when I attempted to do so.

"Elena this is breaking and entering." I whispered but she waved me off. She called for Stefan as she ventured into the house, reluctantly I followed.

"Stefan?" she called once more. We both stood looking into the living room until we heard a creek of the door. We both turned to see no one there, but Elena edged close and I watched as a squawking crow flew in through the open door.

As I turned to watch the bird and walked into a solid chest, whose I presumed to be Stefan, but as I looked up I saw a tall and handsome man with beautiful blue eyes that looked so strangely familiar. He cocked his head and smiled at me, I opened my mouth to speak but before any words could come out Elena's bet me to it,

"I... I'm sorry for barging in. The door was...Open." She looked back at the door that was now strangely closed.

"You must be Elena. And you must be...the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." He said, his eyes never left my face as he said so, "I'm Damon, Stefan's older brother." I looked from his gaze and slightly backed away.

"He never told us he had a brother." I simply stated with a smile.

"Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second." He held my upper arm gently as he guided us both into another room, much like a library as it was crowded with books. I looked back to see Elena scanning the house.

"Wow. This is your living room?" she asked from behind us and we both turned to her.

"Living room, parlour, Sotheby's auction. It's a little kitschy for my glad to see my brother so smitten. It's about time. For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one." He informed Elena.

"The last one?" Elena questioned obviously looking a little uncomfortable.

"His girlfriend? Oh, you two haven't had the awkward ex's conversation yet." He asked adding to the tension.

"Nope." Elena shook her head and looked over to me as I circled to the back of the couch.

"Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now. Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end." He sounded like a first rate jackass who desperately wanted to piss his brother off.

"You say it like every relationship is doomed to end." I said as I stood in front of the many books that had piled onto the table. I felt him stand beside me once again. I couldn't help but feel a little attracted to him.

"I'm a fatalist. Hello, Stefan." Damon predicted. I turned to look at Stefan standing in the doorway.

How did he know Stefan was there?

"Elena, Jessie. I didn't know you were coming over." Stefan notified us both as Elena walked closer to Stefan as I walked to sand next to Damon. He looked down at me and smiled, politely I returned it.

"I know, I should have called, I just—" Damon cut her midway sentence and turned back down to me as he welcomed us,

"Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Aren't they, Stefan? You know, I should break out the family photo albums, or some home movies. But I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker, I on the other hand, have always been attractive." He smirked down at me and winked, I chuckled.

"Big ego." I stated but he just shrugged it off with a smile. I walked closer to Elena and Stefan as Damon shadowed me.

"Thank you for stopping by, Elena. Nice to see you Jessie." His gaze never leaving his brother.

"Yeah, I should probably go. We should go." She corrected before continuing. "It was nice to meet you, Damon."

He didn't say anything at first, he just smiled. "You too Elena. And it was pleasurable meeting you, Jessie." He lifted my hand to his lips as he gently kissed my hand. I felt a sudden blush rise my cheeks.

"You too." I smiled as he realised my hand. I followed Elena, who stood in front of Stefan, as he stared at his brother.

"Stefan? Stefan?" Elena finally managed to get him out of his trance, sort of.

"See you later Stef." I said, clapping him on the back before leaving him to his staring contest with his brother. Honestly, if I were in a staring contest with those eyes, I'd probably be just as ignorant as Stefan was. I waved at them both, but only Damon seemed to notice, and he smiled at me in return.

"What was that?" Elena asked as we walked to her car.

"I duno, family drama? Maybe." I suggested.

"Well whatever it was, it was awkward."

"His brothers hot." I stated, almost as if it were no big deal. She scoffed. "What?"

"He sounds like an ass." She smiled as we both got into her SUV.

"You mean he's got a good ass? I agree." we both laughed as we drove away.

Damon's POV:

I whistled as both Jessie and Elena left. Stefan turned to me, he looked pissed, good.

"Great gal, she's got spunk, Jessie I mean. She's so much like Eliza. It's unbelievable. Elena on the other hand isn't as much like Kathrine as I thought. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess hospital." I teased.

"Someone had to clean up your mess."

"Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly, none of those little tricks work right..."

"How long was Elena and Jessie here?"

"Were you worried, Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game, 'I'm a high school human'?"

"I'm not playing any game." I don't see why he keeps on denying it.

"Of course you are. We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it." I intended to confront him, to make him crave what he wants almost as bad as he wants them. As I walked closer towards him and whispered in his ear.

"What kind of game are you playing Damon?"

"Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?" I shrugged to him before leaving with a smirk.

Jessie's POV:

"He's on the rebound and has raging family issues." Elena informed our aunt Jenna as she prepared herself some food. It looked disgusting.

"Well, at least it's an ex-girlfriend. Wait till you date a guy with mommy issues or cheating issues. Or amphetamine issues." She joked, it earned a slight giggle, but nothing from Elena.

Then Jeremy walked through the door. "Jeremy. Jeremy, where were you?" she stomped to the bottom of the stairs and I followed as he stopped in his tracks.

"More stoner stories? Look, Jenna, I get it, you were cool. And so that's cool." He stuck his thumb up to her as he continued to walk up the carpeted stairs.

"Oh, no, no, no!" Before I knew it Jenna threw her apple at his back and he turned to face us.

"Ow! Why? Why- why did you do that?" he didn't look too bothered by the apple. He looked too stoned to be bothered by the apple more like.

"Listen up! Quit ditching class or you're grounded. No discussion." She ordered, but it didn't affect him.

"Parental authority, I like. sleep tight." He simply said as if it weren't a problem.

"Jeremy?" I called as I ran to catch up with him on the stairs. As soon as he turned he kissed me on my cheek then repeated as he did before,

"Sleep tight." He turned and went back into his room. It's not like I was a miracle worker. I may have a strong relationship with him as his twin sister but I didn't have the bond to stop his addiction, so I sighed and walked back downstairs to see Jenna with her head in her hands.

"Are you ok Jenna?" I asked as I comforted her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She got from off the chair and smiled at me.

"I'm fine."

"Okay. Well I'm tired so I'm goanna hit the hay. Don't worry Jenna." I kissed her cheek and then Elena's before leaving the kitchen for my bed.

"We've never gotten to the texting part." I groaned as I came to stand next to bonnie.

"She moaning again?" Bonnie nodded her head, I already got the full story this morning before I went for a run.

"That's an important milestone in any relationship." Bonnie cleared up for her.

"Isn't it? The timing is wrong, anyway." Elena stated as she proceeded to hand out the flyers for tonight's comet.

"When is it ever right?"

"I'm not ready, Bonnie."

"Who is?"

"At least I put myself out there. Unlike Jessie"

"Hey! Why're you bringing me into this?!" I asked in a warning tone from her insulting coment. In my defence, I flirt with Tyler Lockwood.

"Is that what you're calling it?" Bonnie continued to Elena.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked as she ignored me completely.

"All I'm hearing is reasons why you can't. Aren't you Jess?" I looked at them both and nodded my head yes.

3rd Person POV:

The boarding house...

"What is Damon doing here? Why did he come home?" Zach asked in an anxious and worried tone. "Why would he come home? Why now?"

"Because I came home. He wants to make my life miserable. That's how he enjoys his. Not to mention now that he knows Jessie is here, I don't think he'll be leaving anytime soon." Stefan said as he buttoned up his burgundy shirt.

"Who's Jessie? You know what I don't want to know. He's putting us all at risk, Stefan. This girl in the hospital could talk." Zach said even more aware of the situation than before.

"She won't. I took care of her." Stefan reassured while he walked over to his leather jacket and began to place it over his arms.

"You're sure? "Once again he asked. Stefan sighed, he knew he was lying to himself, and to Zach.

"I'm not sure, Zach. I don't know how well it worked. I'm not as strong as Damon." He admitted honestly.

"So what happens if it doesn't work?"

"I don't know. I'll deal with it."

"Is she worth it? Uncle Stefan, this girl you came back for."

"I'm not sure if it's her I came back for." Once again he sighed and left Zach alone in his room.

Jessie's POV:

I stood next to Tyler and we both watched as both Vickie and Jeremy began to talk. As soon as they made eye contact I noticed Tyler straighten his back and tense.

"What the hell is he doing?" I asked shocked to see with my own eyes that he handed her a bottle of pills.

"I have no idea. He needs to stop dealing to my girlfriend." He told me sternly and I nodded in response.

I knew he needs to stop, but it's not like he's drug pushing her, she actually wants the pills.

Both I and Tyler both walked up to my brother and Vickie as they just finished their conversation.

"Hey, Vick. How you feeling?" Tyler asked. But it didn't really seem like he cared.

"Like you care." She brushed past both me and Tyler, looks like she noticed too.

"What you lookin' at Gilbert?" Jeremy didn't respond, he just walked past Tyler with a smug look on his face.

"Easy tiger. I know you don't get along but you're my friend and he's my brother. Try play nice when I'm around at least?" I asked as I patted his shoulder and he nodded to me, I smiled at him. I turned when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hey, Azz." I sighed.

"What's up?" he questioned with a confused look on my face.

"Family feuds." Both I and Tyler said in unison.

"Well I'm going to have to separate you because we gotta get you ready for tonight." He smiled as he pulled me to the exit by my arm.

"Remember, something hot!" Tyler shouted to us and I gave him a glare and we all chuckled. I knew Tyler never means it like that, he's a good guy, when he's not being a dick to everyone else.

As soon as we arrived to my house Azz dragged me up to my room and shut the door. Like always he immediately, strutted to my closet.

"Okay. I got it!" my eyes widened to him.

"That fast?" I almost shrieked as he held a dress out for me. "OH, no...no, no... I'm not wearing another dress this week. I'm going with simple jeans and a shirt" He stared at me and pouted.

"You can find me a shirt if you want?" I asked. he smiled and ran to my drawers pulling out some low-rise boyfriend jeans, a white top and a red plaid shirt. "Yes to the tops but no to the jeans." I pulled the clothes from him as I pushed the jeans back into the draws.

"Come on! You always wear dark clothes." He pulled the jeans back out and held them up to me.

"You're a bad Influence on me." I retorted and snatched the jeans back from him. Out the corner of my eye I saw him smirk.

I came out of the bathroom and he bombarded me with some attached black bracelets.

"So when will you get a boyfriend so you can get some? You seem to have a lot of stress lately, maybe frustration sex could help." I turned to him with my black beanie in my hand and widened eyes that held dark eye makeup. "Oh, come on! It's ok we'll find you someone sweetie."

"Azz. I don't need to 'get some'." I quoted with my fingers. "I'm no virgin Azz, you know that. I just don't think now's the right time."

"Listen to me honey. You need to move on. You said so yourself when you broke up with... you know who... I know you, and I know you defiantly seen someone you like because you didn't flirt as much with Tyler today at school." I sighed and bowed my head to hide my smirk, but of course Azz being Azz, bends down to look at my blushing cheeks. "OMG, so come on tell me! Who? Is he cute? Do I know him?" he interrogated as he pulled me onto my bed by my wrist.

"Ok. You don't know him, but oh...my god, he's hot! Like wow he's hot! But he's Stefan's older brother." I emphasized on the older part, he isn't even in school.

"Oh honey. How old? Age doesn't really matter, He may know his way around the bedroom better" he winked and I hit his arm.

"I'm not actually sure." I sat back up and pulled him up with me.

"Were, 17. How much older can he be than Stefan?" he asked as though he were talking maybe a year older than him.

"Maybe 2 or 3 years? But one thing I do know, he's got the most beautiful eyes. I didn't even think it was possible for a man's eyes to be so..." I kind of got lost for words and stopped there.

"Is he going to be at the comet tonight?" I shrugged, but deep down, I hoped he was.

By the time we got to the 'celebration' everybody already started to light their candles and were sitting in the grill hanging out like soon as I spotted Elena and Tyler and we both walked to them.

"Hey, has anyone seen Vickie?" Jeremy approached us with Caroline and Matt.

"You're her stalker, You tell us." Tyler spat

Jeremy ignored his tone and continued with concern, "I can't find her."

"She probably found somebody else to party with. Sorry, pill pusher, I guess you've been replaced." I hit Tyler lightly on the arm, I didn't want Elena to know, and I knew she'd go all motherly on him.

"What's with the pill pusher?" Elena asked with a confused frown in seconds as she glared over to Jeremy then back to Tyler.

"Ask him." He motioned. I face palmed my hand and shook my head. Shits about to get heavy.

"You wanna do this right now?" he asked as he leaned forward

"Are you dealing?" Elena inquired and Jeremy turned to look at her and again back to Tyler.

"She's never gonna go for you." He assured my brother with a smug look.

"She already did. Over and over and over again." My jaw dropped and I gazed at him.

"Jeremy?" I questioned and looked at him in disappointment.

"Oh come on Jess! I already know that you were de-flowered you last year." He hissed at me and I bowed my head in shame and begun to walk away quickly before I heard anything more than I didn't want to hear.

"I'll go start looking for Vickie." I informed. I didn't even bother to look at Elena, whose eyes I felt were burning holes into my back as I walked away. I felt Azz follow closely behind me as I stepped outside, I needed air.

As we both stood in the cold air he held me tightly to his chest. I didn't cry. I was sick and tired of crying. Not this time I won't.

"Come on, let's go find Vick." He released me and I nodded.

After a few minutes of searching we decided to split up. Azz decided to go look around the square a little more and I decided to go look on top of a roof nearby. As I got to the top I saw Vickie sitting on the floor of the roof. As I looked around more I saw Stefan and Damon standing on another side of the building. I ignored their glares and crouched down next to Vickie.

"Hello, Jessie." He smiled politely and I returned it with a warm smile to the ice-eyed man that stood next to Stefan.

"What happened? Where am I? Oh, I ripped my stitches open." She moaned as she brought a hand to her neck.

"You ok?" both me and Stefan asked at the same time as one another.

"I took some pills man, I'm good." She half chuckled. She looked pretty out of it.

"What are you guys doing up here?" I asked a little confused.

"We came up here to talk, but when we came up here we found this girl, whoever she might be. She looked pretty out of it, you should get her home." Damon told me as he took a step closer and offered me his hand to help me up. I gladly took his hand and he pulled me up with a lot more force than needed and I collided into his chest.

"Whoa. Sorry, sometimes I don't know my own strength." He smirked down a me. I could feel his abs under the thin layers of clothing between us, it made me want to stay in his arms for longer. Finally, I looked up to him and met his gaze. It wasn't until Vickie started to laugh that I broke away from him, realizing out surroundings.

"Wow. You guys have some serious sexual tension going on." I blushed and helped her to her feet as I wrapped an arm around her waist to steady her.

"You should get her to Matt, he's worried, and I won't be long." Stefan smiled at me and I waved slightly before leaving through the door faintly hearing Damon call out, "Good-bye Jessie." to me as I left.

"Oh my god! Vickie! Do you know how worried I was? Where were you?" Matt questioned as he ran closer to us, taking Vickie in his arms. "You know what it doesn't matter, your safe now. Thank you." He tuned to me as he helped Vickie to a seat.

"No, no. It wasn't me, Stefan found her, I'm just returning her. She accidently ripped out her stitches though." Matt sighed.

"Well thank you anyway." He leaned forward and kissed my cheek.

"It's no problem. Hey if you see Azz, could you tell him that I left to go home?" I asked him and he turned to me before nodding.

"If you hurry you might catch Elena, she left like 2 seconds ago... And Jessie?" I turned to look at him and nodded. "Don't be ashamed of loosing your viginty." I bowed my head and instantly left.

And I did catch up with Elena and shouted her Just as she was about to get into her car.

"Hey I thought Azz was dropping you off at home?" she asked with a sigh.

"We kinda parted as we looked for Vickie." I notified as I leaned back on my black boot heels.

"Oh, well get in then." She motioned towards the car and I walked around to the other side before jumping in.

On the ride home it was mainly quiet until...

"So... Did you know about Jeremy dealing to Vickie?" she asked. Thankfully not the question I was expecting.

"Not long before you found out." I kept quiet. I didn't want to risk the conversation I'd been avoiding all night with everyone else.

"Who did you sleep with?" she asked as she quickly glanced towards me. I shuffled in my seat to try and break the tension but it only seemed to make it worse. "When?"

"Why? What does it matter Elena?" this was starting to annoy me. "It's no one else business apart from mine." I told her firmly as I glared at her.

"Okay, fine! I won't ask."

As soon as we pulled up, I ignored everything and everyone and just went straight into the bathroom for a shower. When I got out of the long hot shower I came out of the bathroom in some clean pyjamas to see Jenna lying on my bed. I flopped down next to her and put my arm around her.

"I heard you and Elena talking. Jenna, you will be fine. Just because you're not mom doesn't mean you not going to get the hang of all of this. Because you will. It's just a phase. I'll help him get out of this, I promise." She smiled and hugged me tighter.

"I know." It wasn't long before I fell asleep and honesty, I dreamed about Damon.

Damon's POV:

I watched as I saw the blonde girl, Caroline, walking through the mystic grill car park on her own. She dropped the keys on the ground and finally this was my chance to introduce myself so I can use her to get to Jessie. She turned and gasped, holding her hand to her heart.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." I said calmly as the lie rolled off my tongue.

"No, it's ok, I was hoping I'd see you again." She flirted. Wow this girl is going to be easy.

"I know."

"Cocky much?" she chuckled.

"Very much." I smirked as she smiled. This is going to be fun.

Stefan's POV:

Dear diary,

Today I talked to Elena. She told me what she would be writing in her diary tonight, and I told her what I would Wright in mine tonight, but I didn't tell her I'd write more than just that we kissed. It was...amazing. Yes, I may have began to like her because she looks like Kathrine, but now I know I like her for different reasons. But it doesn't change the fact that I have feelings for her sister, because deep inside I still love Eliza. I know that Damon will have and love Jessie because I've already seen the way they looked at each other tonight. So the only way I can get past this is if I forget about how I feel about Eliza and concentrate on how I feel towards Elena.

So what did you think about Stefan's diary entry? what do you think the story of the past is? I just guess it's a complicated past. But once again please leave me a review or send a PM. did you hate it? love it?
