Okay so I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! I can't believe I'm getting to this soo late but I have not had a computer in a good month and before that hurricane Sandy came to town and here I am in my personal finance class typing up as much of my story as possible to get it finished. I'm not even gonna lie I also have had writer's block which is so saddening for me because writing is like my number one thing. Oh and it's flipping snowing outside right now oh yeah, in November! I hope you enjoy my late as hell chapter!

Chapter 4

~Jeremy's POV~

I walked up to Elena's door to check on her and I saw the two, Elena and Derek, together laying there. I hope she doesn't regret her choice. Damn, I was actually hoping she would pick Stefan, I can trust he'll keep her safe. Oh well, maybe next time, hopefully.

"Elena, Derek, it's almost time for school, wake up! Come on guys."

"Okay Jer, we're getting up, right Derek?"

"Yes Jeremy, we are up."

"Alright, I'll leave you two alone. Have fun and don't be late you delinquents, everyone knows you skipped yesterday. By the way, what did you do before your, you know, big fight?"

"Um, nothing really, just normal teenager things." They had big smiles on their faces.

"Eww. That's disgusting. I'm regretting asking. Bye"

~Stefan's POV~

I dragged myself out of bed today. That's productive. I'm not really in the mood to face my brother, just not feeling it. Maybe if I get out of here fast enough he won't notice.

"Where do you think you are going, brother?"

Of course, "I'm going to school, Damon, you know place of learning." More like sulking all day with Elena on Derek's arm, but I'm not giving up just because I want a clean fight.

"Okay, have fun." What is he up to?

"May I ask what you will be doing today?"

"Oh the usual, making others troubled and entertaining my needs. I'm also bringing an old friend, his name is Jack Daniels. Good man, that Jack."

"Okay, you have fun with that, I'm leaving."

~Damon's POV~

Oh dear brother, so gullable. Now let's go do some research, new people never just come into this town like it's nothing. Let's see, Jacoby, hmm, sounds all too familiar. I remember a certain vampire with that name, had a nack for acting like a dog, Jacoby.

*Flashback*

(Mystic Falls, 1900)

Well, this blonde will do. "Come with me." She came willingly. I like willing. We were just walking along when a werewolf, wait vampire, jumps in front of us. "Jacoby, you're looking... different today."

"Well, Salvatore, you've never seen me hungry. How about you pass the girl over."

"No, no, this is my girl. She is VERY special."

"Hey, I need blood."

"I thought you were human Jacoby."

"I thought I was too. Now I have a new plan."

"What plan is this may I ask."

"I'm changing my family, but first I must change myself successfully. So, hand her over."

"Fine, here, I remember she had a sister."

*End of Flashback.*

Well, now let's look into this family history. Hmm... oh here it is! Daniel Jacoby, wife Jillian Jacoby, kids Derek and Darla Jacoby. Well, this is new. I thought I heard Derek have a heart beat.

*Flashback*

( Mystic Falls, 1920)

"Again Jacoby you're interrupting my meal." I turned around and noticed he wasn't alone and he looked even more like a dog. How disgraceful. "Get gone!"

"Listen Damon, leave now or be hurt. What will you choose?"

In a flash, I grabbed his heart out of his chest. "First, I think you might need this, but not anymore."

"What the fuck did you do?"

"Who are you kid? Look just go and don't let me hurt you because you won't live through it."

"I'm Derek and I won't forget this!"

*End of Flashback*

~Elena's POV~

"Hey Derek, can I come over later, I wanna talk about yesterday?"

"Um, I don't think you can today, you see my sister is coming today and my mom justs wants a family welcome."

"Wait, you have a sister! Where has she been?"

"Well she's been with an aunt, going to school where we used to live. She decided to stay." He said this with a devastated expression.

All of a sudden Damon came, "Hey Damon."

"Hello Elena, Derek Jacoby. I hear your sister is coming into town, Darla was it?"

"How do you know that?" Something changed in Derek, a rush of anger that he seemed to be holding. What is going on?

"Damon, what are you talking about, how do you know this?"

"Well ask your vampire boyfriend, after all I did kill his father in 1920 and I definitely know that they have been around since the late 1850's. I'd like to know, Derek?"

"Listen Elena, I don't know what he's talking about, who is he?"

"Derek tell me the truth, I know Damon is a dick, but he doesn't lie about my safety. HE never has so far."

"Exactly, so far, Elena please."

"Look Derek, just tell me the truth and we'll help you. Please?" He hesitated but finally broke.

"Look, he killed my dad and I've hated him ever since, but I met you before I found out Damon was here, obviously he didn't remember me until now."

"Explain your heartbeat."

"Obviously, my mother works with witches to give us an easier life. My sister has been on a rampage all through Europe and is being summoned home by our mother. She's very... well, free-spirited. She turned off her emotions and has been on her spree for a good year when people started putting two and two together. Now she's coming home."

"Why can't I meet her?"

"Elena, as Derek was saying she's a girl version of Stefan, but not as strong. She's quite boring actually, compared to his creativity. Still, she can snap you like a twig."

"What do you mean like Stefan, Elena, what is she talking about?"

"Stefan was the Ripper in his old days and well for the last two months, but he's done. He's good now."Why was I defending Stefan, I'm so confused.

"Elena, are you okay, I thought we dealt with your feelings."

"I know Damon, but he's been a good guy besides getting into my relationship, but besides that I'm not interested."

"Really, well that's nice to know. Well, I'll be going, Elena, Jacoby."

"So you and Damon..."

"No, no, no, me and him never, he's just cocky and thinks he can have it all."

~Stefan's POV~

"Not interested at all, really." I heard the whole thing and was pretty pissed off, that Elena didn't care and that Derek is a vampire. I want to kill him, but Elena is just acting normal, fuck. I need to get to history.

I walked in and sat next to Elena, she seemed ticked, finally. Oh well, let's have fun.

~Elena's POV~

"Elena, how are you, are you still mad at me?"

"I'm fine Stefan and yes I am still mad but it was my fault for even talking to you."

"Actually, Damon was the one who compelled Derek to break up with you and catch us. He's messing with my life again."

"Seriously, after I stood up for his ass this morning when he was confronting Derek about being a vampire, which by the way fuck, I'm gonna kill him."

"Derek's a vampire?" As he said this it didn't look like he was so surprised.

"Yeah and his sister is a less powerful Ripper who's coming back into town. This should be so fun! Yay!"

"You're being sarcastic right?"

"Yeah, I wonder how you knew."

"Haha, well I'm just good enough to catch you in the act."

"Haha, it sounds like you caught me drinking from Damon's collection."

"No, I do that every other day, I don't think he minds, haha."

"Well, we must try again so I could find out for myself." I smirked at him... why? Oh hell, why does he those comforting gestures? I really want to see him though. "Hey, can you hang out today? Like at your place after school?"

"Yes of course, I would love if you came over." He had the biggest smile on like it was a shining light through a dark cloud surrounding him. He was content and beautiful.

For the rest of the period Ric went on about some war and Stefan and I were talking the whole time. When the bell finally rang I was sad because I didn't get to be with Stefan but with Derek. I say it like it's a bad thing, what's wrong with me? HE'S my BOYFRIEND and I would rather hang out with my ex. Well ex-vampire boyfriend for my new vampire boyfriend, I'm not sure which sounds better or worse. Seems like I'm starting allover again with Stefan except before him I had Matt. I'm screwed!

Derek may be my boyfriend but I can't help the fact that I don't feel safe around him all the time. Like I lost my trust for him and our creative writing class, I couldn't help but remember the poems he wrote me over the summer. When I thought he was human. Not a vampire.

Gosh, what am I going to do.

"Hey Derek."

"Hey babe, are you mad at me?"

"I don't know," I really didn't know, what should I tell him?

"I understand, I guess we just have to wait and see how this turns out."

"I'm going to Stefan's after school!"

So here it is, i hope you like it! :) i also hope you can forgive me for posting sooo late!
