Bonnie is texting me from the Gilbert's house. Elena went on a suicide mission the day before. Damon tried to stop her but it was Elijah who actually saved her. Bonnie told me about the moonstone and the ritual. Elena wants to get Stefan out of the tomb he's stuck in but all they want to do is protect Elena.

I don't quite know why she's telling me all this. I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved. I didn't know any of them. Still, I was worried about Stefan. It was my understanding that he was stuck with Katerina, or Katherine, and that she was a "psycho bitch".

I was at the Grill, drawing, trying to find inspiration. There, I saw professor Saltzman with Elena's aunt, I believe her name was Jenna. I saw Tyler and Caroline leave together and I wondered if they were dating. Then I remember Bonnie telling me that Caroline was a vampire, that's when she used the term "psycho bitch" to describe Katherine.

Professor Saltzman moved to the bar where Damon joined him. Bonnie didn't like Damon, that's all I knew about him.

Bonnie texted me she was going to Luka's apartment. She didn't tell me why but from the way she talks about him I guessed it was because she liked him.

When I left the Grill, Damon was talking to a girl I never saw in town before.

It was almost 8 when I got into my car and back home.

Robert was drunk, yelling at the TV.

"I'm home!" I say, before going to my room. I didn't want to be in his way. I cleaned a little then took a shower. I checked my phone. There was no text from Bonnie. I wondered if I should text her, something I am not used to do. I got into bed with a book but I couldn't focus. I read the same page four times before putting it down. I sighed and took my phone.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" I texted Bonnie.

I took my notebook and stared at it. The page was still blank. Usually I would draw anything, a personality I liked, a dress I saw at the store I would never dare to wear, ever, flowers, animals, even my bedroom… But I couldn't stop thinking about all the things that were going on in this town I didn't know about. And I was afraid because I wanted to know them.

My phone buzzed "YES, SPENT THE NIGHT WITH LUKA. YOU?"

"STUDIED, READ, BORED…" I text her back.

"WANT ME TO COME OVER?"

"NO, IT'S LATE, SEE YOU TOMORROW, I'M GONNA GO TO BED, GOODNIGHT BONNIE"

She texts back a smiley face and I put my phone down on my night table. I turn off the light and stare at the darkness. I think about Elijah... about Caroline, how she became a vampire… I think about Katherine and hope I never have to meet this awful person.

I have a hard time falling asleep and I wake up breathless, sweaty and crying. It must have been one of the worst nightmare I ever had but still I couldn't remember it. It was 6 AM but I didn't want to go back to sleep, too afraid I would have a nightmare again. I go to the bathroom and take a long, cold shower. I go downstairs and start cleaning after my stepfather who was passed out on the couch. I make breakfast and I had just finished cleaning the dishes when Robert entered the kitchen.

"Good morning" I say with a timid smile, barely looking at him. He was as bad hung over as he was drunk.

"Mmh" he groans for only answer.

I decide it's best to stay out of his way and drive my car to the park. Maybe I would draw a tree or something there.

I sit down against a tree and take my phone out. I had a message from Bonnie.

"ELIJAH IS IN TOWN, WENT TO SEE ELENA YERTERDAY, MADE A DEAL WITH HIM"

I'm surprised and worried.

"WHAT DEAL?"

"PROTECTION AGAINST KLAUS, SHE'LL BE SAFE"

So Elijah is not a danger to Elena, then. We got it all wrong.

"THAT'S A RELIEF" I text back

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

"THE PARK, WHY?"

She doesn't text me back.

I start to draw the park, the benches, the people… When a shadow comes blocking my light, I look up to find Elijah standing there. I look at him with wild eyes, surprised. I put the notebook down and quickly get up.

"Elijah!" I say, the surprise clear in my voice.

"Hello, Julie" he says, smiling at me, looking me up and down.

"Hi" I smile back.

"How have you been since we last saw each other?"

"Uh, fine… fine, thank you…" I'm surprised he's concerned about my well-being. "How are you?" I quickly ask him.

"I am fine, thank you" he says, "I see you're an artist?" he asks.

I look at him weird and then I see him take my notebook. He looks at my unfinished work for a while.

"You are quite talented" he says, still looking at the drawing.

I blush and clear my throat.

"Thank you…" is all I can say.

Suddenly, I hear a familiar voice calling my name.

"Julie!" I see Bonnie coming towards me, obviously worried, looking at Elijah with wild eyes.

"Oh hello, Miss Bennett" Elijah says but his eyes are still on me.

"Julie, is everything okay?" she asks

"Sure, yes" I quickly reassure her.

"It was a pleasure to see you again, Julie" he says, handing me my notebook back.

"You too" I shyly say.

He turns around and walk away without turning back.

"What did he want? Are you sure you're okay?" she asks, putting both her hands on my arms, looking at me like I might be hurt.

"I'm fine, we just talked"

"What did he want?" she insists.

"I don't know… nothing, he just said hello"

She stays quiet for a while. She looks worried but doesn't say anything.

"It's weird to see you with him" she finally says

"I know, I was surprised to see him too." I tell her. "What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I told you, I want to know you more" she smiles at me. "Wanna go grab something to eat at the Grill?" she asks pointing at the restaurant.

I don't know if I want to. But I realize I'm actually happy she came at the park to see me, maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a friend. Besides she could answer some of my questions.

"Sure"

We both order something to drink and she starts talking first.

"So, I have to tell you…"

I look up, curious.

"Luka and his father… they're warlocks" she whispers the end of the sentence.

I'm surprised by her statement. So that's why she's been spending time with him.

"And they work for Elijah"

I look at her with big eyes, "What?"

"Yope" she says, taking a zip of her drink.

I stay quiet, processing. I don't know what to say, I have so many questions I don't know what to ask first.

I stay silent and look down at the table.

"So…" I start saying "What does Elijah wants?"

"He needs Elena alive to attract Klaus into town to kill him"

Klaus… I've heard her mention this name before. He needs Elena to do a ritual of some sorts.

"So, you're actually on the same side?"

"We! We are on the same side" she says, taking my hand.

Why does she want to include me in this?

"I think Elijah likes you…" she says, with a grin.

"Yes, he's nice" I answer, oblivious to what she was saying.

She laughs, "No…" "He likes you" she repeats looking at me with malice.

I frown and my eyes grow bigger once I realize what she means. I start laughing, hard.

"Yeah, right" I manage to say. "How is it going with Jeremy?" I change the subject.

"Better" she says

"Good…"

I don't know what else to say or to talk about. I never had a friendly conversation before so she is the one doing the talking. We talk about Caroline, Matt and Tyler. She tells me about the Salvatores, that Stefan was the good brother and Damon the bad one. She tells me that werewolf exists, which should surprise me but it doesn't.

We spend the day together, getting to know each other, laughing, sharing secrets.

"Well, this was nice" Bonnie says, walking me to my car.

"Yes, I had a great time today" I smile at her.

She hugs me Okay, what's her deal with hugs? , I hug her back.

"See you later, Bonnie"

She waves at me before walking away to her car.

When I get home, it's about 9 PM and Robert is yelling at the TV. I was about to climb the stairs when I hear him call me.

"Where were you?" he asks, obviously angry and drunk.

"I was at the Grill with Bonnie"

"I don't care with who you spent your time!" he says, taking a step towards me, pointing a finger at me.

"I thought you were gonna make dinner and I had to eat shit from the fridge!"

I say nothing, thinking it's best not to answer him.

He takes another steps towards me and push me against the wall, I hit my head, hard.

"Next time, tell me when you leave me to starve here alone!" his finger was inches from my face.

I nod, scared before he turns around and go back to the living room.

My eyes start to fill with tears while I climb the stairs and quickly close the door behind me.
