So it's not often that you see a potential stalker standing outside of your sister's window. This guy didn't exactly look like Edward Cullen.
"I'm sorry…I was just lost." He replied before he looked me straight in the eye. "But you don't remember me being here."
"I may be a little drunk but I probably will." I told him. What was this weirdo doing? He then looked at the charm bracelet of my mom's that was on my wrist. I always wore it, except when I was in the shower, of course. He then seemed to smell it. What the fuck?
"I should get going." He said before he dashed off. Okay now that we just weird. He does seem to be a really runner, though.
Jenna might be a little pissed at me for coming home so late, since tomorrow is the first day of school after all. It was the first year that our mom wasn't able to take me and Elena shopping for clothes. Elena had been distant too, just she seemed more introverted. She had broken up with Matt but otherwise kept up her relationships with her friends. That's something that I didn't do. I walked in and decided not to talk to Jenna before I headed to bed.
I decided to walk to school in the morning. Elena was being driven by her friend Bonnie. My goal was to get Tyler to talk to me. He had been shutting me out ever since we had sex. I walked over to wear he was talking with his football buddies, which did not include Matt at this time.
"Will you guys excuse us for a moment?" He asked as the crowd dispersed. "What do you want?"
"I want to stop ignoring me like we never happened." I replied.
"I wouldn't have had sex with you if I had known that you were going to be goddamn clingy." Tyler responded. "I have a girlfriend now and I don't really care about you."
Before I could leave, I saw Vicki Donovan, Matt's older sister, walk up to him. I didn't know much about her but I did know that she was a slut.
"There you are, I've been looking all over for you." Vicki replied. "Wait, who's this whore?"
Oh, the irony how she calls me a whore. I walked off, wondering if she knew what Tyler did last summer…or who.
Okay I'm not going to lie. I went to the bathroom to cry a little. I didn't want people to see me, but sure enough, Elena found me.
"Jill, what happened?" She asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it." I told her as I tried to rub my tears away as I exited the stall I was in. "I need to fix my makeup, so you can go now."
Elena left with a frown on her face but I didn't quite feel like opening up to her right. As I went to the sink, I heard something. It sounded like she had run into someone.
"Hi." A male voice replied. "I'm Stefan."
Okay that sounded like that guy that was outside of our house last night.
"I'm Elena." She introduced. "I don't have time to talk. I need to get to class."
Now that was a bit creepy. He goes to school here? I guess it's not too far of a stretch since it is the only school in town.
For second period, I went to US History. It usually wasn't a class that sophomores took but I was a bit of an honors student before the accident. That felt like a different me because school didn't really feel that important right now.
"So here we are in history." Mr. Tanner, who was probably the biggest dick on the planet said. "So why don't we start with the important stuff. Who can tell me when the colony of Virginia was first settled?"
He went through a few people who didn't seem to know the answer and was a complete ass about it. He's the teacher. It's his job to tell us.
"So do you enjoy berating your students for not knowing the answer to a question that you're supposed to tell us the answer to?" I asked.
"Okay, Miss Gilbert, since you have such a mouth, why don't you tell us?" He challenged.
"1607." I answered. "Of course there were settlers going back to the previous century."
"That is the correct answer." He replied with a look of irritation on his face. I don't think he liked being shown up.
After school, I headed to Mystic Grill. It was the popular restaurant where everyone, including Tyler hung out. The only problem was that Vicki also worked there. I would have to get past her eventually and show that I'm better than her. I know I am but Tyler just doesn't see it.
I noticed that Tyler was sitting with Matt. Matt made a comment about Tyler dating Vicki and he seemed to hate it as much as I did.
I managed to catch Tyler coming back from the bathroom.
"Will you stop following me around like a lovesick puppy?" He asked.
"Since when did you sex with a puppy?" I countered. Okay that actually brings bad images to my mind.
"Keep it down." He ordered. "I do not want people to know that I deflowered Elena's kid sister."
"Well you did it twice." I reminded him. "So does Vicki know about us?"
"She doesn't need to know about casual hookups I had before I started to date her." He responded. "That's all it was by the way."
I decided to go over to go outside where Vicki was taking a smoke break.
"What do you want, skank?" She asked me.
"I just want you to know about something that Tyler and I did last summer." I told her. "What it's not really as much of a something as it is a someone. Anyway, the someone in question is me. We had sex and it was amazing, which he happened to tell me."
I don't know what I was expecting to happen when I told her but I wasn't expecting her to slap me and punch me in the stomach. That was painful. Vicki walked back in and I limped in a few seconds later. Matt happened to notice.
"Jill, are you okay?" He asked.
"I'm fine." I lied. "I just fell."
"Well why don't you take a seat?" He suggested. Yeah, I was down with that. He had moved to a table from the bar. I couldn't help but notice that Tyler and Vicki seemed to be fighting about something. I would bet anything that it had to do with me.
"So has Elena been talking about me lately?" Matt inquired.
"No, not really, you never seem to come up." I responded. "If you want to talk to her, you should call."
"She dumped me." He pointed out.
"Well she's really upset since our parents died and she probably has some survivor's guilt." I explained. He looked at me with a blank expression. "It's the whole 'it should've been me' feeling. I think the best solution would be to give her some time."
As soon as I finished talking, I saw Elena walk in with Mr. Stalker Guy aka Stefan.
"Time, eh?" Matt replied. He walked over to the two of them, introduced himself and then held a gaze with Elena before he walked out. I also noticed Caroline walked in and she noticed me.
"I can't believe you decided to show yourself in public." She remarked. "I thought you went all vampire and spent all of your time inside drinking blood."
"It's good to see you, Care." I replied as I gave her a hug. I also couldn't help but notice that Stefan guy cringe.
She then walked over to Stefan and Elena. "We should get a table." She suggested. I think I was included in the we.
I did it only because I hadn't hung out with Caroline in a long time and Tyler was still there.
"So, Stefan, this is my little sister Jillian and my friend Caroline." Elena introduced. I wanted to say that we had already met, but I didn't want to explain it right now. Elena seemed to be truly interested in this guy for some reason and I didn't want to ruin it for her, even if he was a little creepy.
We sat for a few minutes talking about small talk before Caroline said something that was a little more.
"So, you were born in Mystic Falls?" She asked Stefan.
"Yeah, we moved with I was young." He explained. I don't know why but it seemed like he was lying. "My parents are dead and I live with my uncle."
"Do you have any siblings?" I decided to ask.
"Zach's the only member of my family that I'm on good terms with." He replied. So it sounds like he has estranged family members.
"I guess that since you're new, you haven't heard about the party at the falls tomorrow night." Caroline deduced. "It's this big back to school thing."
"Are you going?" He asked, turning to look at Elena. Oh come on, be more subtle, why don't you?
"Everyone is going." Caroline replied for her. "You should come too."
The next night, I found myself at yet another party. I really wasn't that interested in socializing but they had free booze and I also knew that Tyler was going to be there. Maybe now that he and Vicki were on the rocks, he would show interest in me.
"So are you still into him?" Caroline asked, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.
"Yes." I answered.
"But he has a girlfriend now." She pointed out.
"Yeah I know: Matt's slutty and somewhat violent older sister." I replied.
"How do you know that she's violent?" Caroline asked.
"Because she hit me a few times when I told her that I slept with Tyler this summer." I explained.
"Oh my god when did this happen?" Caroline asked.
"Yesterday." I told her.
"No I mean you losing your virginity." Caroline clarified. "That's a major milestone that you should have told me about."
"It's not that big of a deal." I replied. "But now he won't talk to me."
"Then I'll just have to talk to him then." She responded.
"Care, I don't need you to fight my battles for me." I replied. I took my bracelet and removed one of the charms from it. "But I'm sorry for not telling you. Here you can keep this and wear it as a symbol of our friendship."
"Thank you, but I can't." Caroline declined. "It was your mom's, wasn't it?"
"I'm not giving you the whole bracelet." I reminded her. "Just one charm. There are even a few more at home."
"Okay then I will wear it." She agreed. "I'll definitely make sure that I don't lose it."
After Caroline left to dance. I noticed Tyler looking at me, before he turned away. So at least he still found me attractive. It was a bit cold for September, so I was glad that I was wearing a leather jacket. There was a karaoke microphone but no one was using it right now. I decided to just go for broke. I would not Tyler forget me like this.
"Attention everyone. I know most of you don't know me as much more than Elena's little sister." I stated as people turned to look at me. "But this summer, I want everyone to know that Tyler Lockwood and I had sex. He doesn't want to talk about it, though.
I noticed Vicki trudged off into the woods and Matt followed behind her. She looked pissed. She did come back, but I don't know where Matt went.
I then noticed Elena coming toward me and she didn't look very happy either. I started to go out into woods myself, to see if I could find Matt/get away from her.
"Damn it, Jillian why did you have to go and make a scene like that?" She asked. "And also what are you doing having sex anyway?"
"You're just mad because I lost my virginity before you." I replied. Okay that was a bitch thing of me to say. I was about to apologize when I tripped over something. I then noticed it was a body…of Matt.
"Oh my god, Matt!" Elena remarked in distress. I don't think she could handle losing anyone else. He was bleeding from the neck. I went to check his pulse and he gasped for air before losing consciousness again.
"Help me carry him." I ordered. The two of us managed to get him out of the woods screaming for help. Vicki looked very concerned.
"What happened?" She questioned. I actually felt kind of sorry for her.
"He needs an ambulance." I explained. "Something bit his neck."
Stefan once again looked very distressed.
Eventually the paramedics, animal control, and police showed up. Matt was taken to the hospital and Vicki rode along. I was holding a bottle of beer as I took a seat next to Elena, who was very upset.
"Look I'm sorry about what I said." I told her. "I shouldn't have done that. It's not a race."
"I'm more upset because keep doing all of this stuff for attention." Elena told me. "Mom and Dad aren't coming back. You can't keep doing stuff like this. People are going to stop caring. You need to move on like I have."
"Last I checked, going to the cemetery to write in your diary isn't moving on." I replied. "Mom's not even buried there."
"You're right." Elena agreed. My mom's body was thrown from the car because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. People think she was taken downstream and ended up who knows where. "This isn't what they would have wanted. We both need to do better. I called Jenna to pick us up. You know it's things like tonight that once again makes me remember that life could be taken any time. I mean sure they think he's gonna be alright, but what if we hadn't found him soon enough? The point is I don't wanna die without letting you know that I love you."
"I love you too, Elena." I said as I gave her a hug before Jenna arrived.
So as you can see, Jillian is a lot like Jeremy, only without the drugs. She still drinks a lot, however. And what's up with her bracelet? Also Vicki and Tyler's roles are reversed. But I didn't like the idea of Tyler getting fed on, so I replaced him with Matt as I knew it would affect Elena. Please don't forget to review.
