Chapter Four:
I awoke at four in the afternoon feeling a hell of a lot better. I got up out of bed and walked downstairs to see Elena walking in with groceries. I gave her a half Morning smile even though it was lat afternoon.
She smiled at me and said, "She's alive."
"Ha funny I said the same thing to your dead hamster," I said laughing at her sad expression. She walked in the kitchen while I followed right behind her asking, "What's this for?"
"Well Bonnie dosent feel comfortable with Stefan so I have decided to have a dinner thingy," she said sighing while running a hand threw her hair.
"Well have fun," I said about to walk into the living room.
"Where do you think your going your eating at this thing too," she said. I sunk my soulder and said, "I don't wanna."
She laughed and said, "But your goin to because you love me."
"Well-" I acted like I didn't and she seemed to buy because she pouted.
"Kidding. I'm kidding I said walking to my twin and hugging her.
"Ok spill it I know you want something from me other wise you would have told me to bug off," I told her. She seemed shocked that I caught her through her façade. I smiled at her.
"I need you to cook. My mind is everywhere else but where it needs to be and I am afraid of burning anything," she admitted. I laughed at her.
"What do I need to cook tonight?"
"Um, Chicken Parmesan with spegetti," she said looking as if in a daze.
"You have got to be kidding me. That the simplest meal ever and you cant even cook it?"
"I told you my mind is everywhere," she said with a shrug of her sholders.
"How long do I have?" I asked her looking at the clock seeing it was now five.
"Five thirty," she said with a short smile. I looked at her and saw that pleading look.
"Fine, get out. You're a distraction to my wsome cooking skills," I said kicking her butt as she walked out and into the other room.
I dumped the contens from the bag on the counter.
I took out a pot and boiled water for the past putting a little canola oil in it. I took out the cutting board to cut the chick breast and get the rest of the bad stuff off of it. I took out a glass bowl and poured bread crumds in it. I took the cut chiken and started to bread them. I left them there so I could poor the pasta into the boiling water. I took a wodden spoon and stired the pot. I put the spoon on the counter and went back to the chicken. I took out a pan and put the chicken on it . I turned around to grab the chees finding Aunt Jenna looking at me curiously. I gave her a blank stair before grabbing the cheese and turning back to my cooking. I heard the doorbell ring.
"I got it!" I heard elena jumping up and racing to the door.
The phone started to ring. I rached over and grabed it pressing send and placing it between my ear and my shoulder. While I sprinkled the cheese on.
"Hello?" I said into the reciver.
"Jade?" Caroline voice came from the other side of the phone.
"What!" I snapped into the phone.
"Damon and I were wandering if you would come out and hang at the grill with us," she said in some sort of monotone voice.
"I would rather stab myself a thousand times than see you again," I said before hanging up the phone. I put the chicken in the oven on speed back. I turned back to the pasta and stired it again.
About five minutes later there was another knok on the door. Elena answered it and invited the person in. The person at the door before was a friend of Jennas who came to take her out to a movie. It was friend night as she would call it.
The pasta was finished so I strained it in the sink and put it back it the pot buttering and salting it. The cheken was done too so I pulled it out.
I grabbed four plates and filled them nicely like a chef. I walked out of the kitchen to see everyone had made it.
"Dinner's ready I said to them they made there way to the dinner where Elena had lit candles and set the silverwear out. I brought in the food and gave everyone there meal. I sat next to Bonnie while Elena and Stefan sat next to each other.
I shovled food into my mouth being starving from having skipped out on breakfast and lunch.
"Bonnie tell Stefan about your witchy history," I said when I finished eating.
She glared at me like I said the worst thing in the world. Elena turned to Stefan and told boring stuff about Bonnie being a witch. Stefan and Bonnie warmed up to eachother immediately once Stefan used his knowledge on history. I tuned them out being so bored I could've sworn I started to drool.
While everyone else was finishing up on there meal the door bell rang. Elena started to get up but I held out my hand and said, "I got it. Enjoy the delicious meal I cooked for you."
I got up quickly and ran to the door. When I opened It though I instantly regretted it. There in front of my eyes stood Damon and Caroline.
"Some nerve you have showing up on my doorstep Forbes," I said death glaring her. She held out a cake in front of me and said, "Brought you a cake."
"And that's supposed to keep me from getting even how?" I asked her curiously. Damon looked at me with want in his eyes.
"And you stalker perv what you want?" I asked him looking him the eyes.
"To be friends," he said with a fake honest voice. I was about to make retort but Stefan cut me off saying what are you doing here Damon?"
"Hello to too brother," he said with a smile. Elena walked up to us and said, "What's taking so long?"
She looked up and said, "Hi guys come on in the more the merrier."
Stefan was about to upject but I did before him returning the favoir saying, "How about we don't let a Hypocrit Bitch and a Stalker per ass in the house."
I looked at Damon the whol time whole only smiled.
"Jade manners!" She scowlded me.
"I lost those a long time ago and you know it," I barked at her. She flinched.
"You want to know what let the psycho and drama queen into the house. But don't crying to me when you wan them out," I said heading to the kitchen. I walked to the fried and pulled out a beer. I wisted the cap off and threw it at the wall. I walked down the hall and toward the stairs. I cugged some of my beer.
"Where are you going?" I heard Elena's voice.
"To my room were backstabbing bitches and man whores aren't allowd," I said turning to the stairs.
"Says the girl who caused her parents death," I heard caroline mutter. I stopped midstep and turned toward her slowly. I looked at her and saw as she glupped.
I walked towards the living room and said, "Say the manipulative Drama queen who throws her self at the man whore of the town. Says the girls who doesn't have ANY FRIENDS. Say's the girl who doesn't give a scratch for anyone but herself. Says the girls whos father left her to be gay to get away from her! Says the girl who lost her virginity at the age of fifteen!"
I got louder with each word. Every word like a dagger going through her.
"It's not nice to point figer at somebody and say hurtful thing but you don't give a shit!" I yelled at her
"Some friend you are," I added before turning again. I finished off my bottle and threw it at the wall. I had anger build up in me I needed to release. Where was Tyler when you needed him.
I turned and faced Elena Stefan and Bonnie and said, "Sorry to have ruined the fun, but I'mgoing to jump of a cliff now."
I grabbed my leather jacket off the back o the couch and went to open the door but iit was shut immediately after by a strong hand. I turned to see Damon. He looked at me with a sad face. Elena ran over to me and brought me into a hug banishing all suicidal thoughts from my mind.
I closed my eyes for once and gave into crying. I knew everyone was watching me. They were judging me. The tough Jade broke down crying like a baby.
I felt another pair of arms wrap around me and them I smelled strawberry shampoo and I new it was Bonnie. Another pair soon wrapped around me and I knew it was Caroline. And another I looked up to see blue eye looking back. Then another which was most likely Stefan.
I was squeezed into a tight hug.
"Guys your gonna kill me from the lack of oxgen I wheezed for air. They laughed and let go. I stifled a yawn and said, "Leave the dishes for Jeremy. I call sleepover in my room. Girls only!"
I looked at Damon thinking he was about the hottest guy I laid eyes on. I ran up stairs and went into my room before closing it I yelled, "When I mean sleepover I mean you come in my room and sleep no staying up without me I am exhausted tonight."
I ran over to my bed and waited. There was knock on my door.
"Come in!" I yelled thinking it was Bonnie or Elena, but to my surprise it was Damon who stood in the door way. I got up and ran over to he door to block him but he was in my room in the mater of seconds.
"So I heard you lost a little friend of yours earlier," he said taking MR. Bone, my stuffed animal dog and messing with it. I grabbed it out of hands and crossed my armsover my chest.
"Yea and you care why?" I asked in a harsh tone.
"I don't," he replied simply. It felt like someone gutted my stomach.
"Listen if your hear to insult me I'm in no mood. I have lost a close friend who I counted like a brother. So there is the door," I said moving to the side feeling instantly angered by his cruel statements. He flashed his signature smirk.
Wlaked towards the door and said, "I have been invited in."
And then walked down the hall and the steps. What does he mean hes been invited in?
Creeper I said to myelf. I decided on a shower. When I got out I found Elena being the only one in my room. She gave me a warm smile and said, "Bonnie dad said she couldn't and Caroline refused, so its just me and you."
"Cool, but you are sleeping on the floor," I said with a smirk. She scowled and I held up my hands innocently.
"Fine you sleep in my bed just this once. I have to get dressed still so ah close your eyes our die in the pillow," She turned her head in the pillow and waited till I finished. I turned off the light opened the window letting in the cool breeze and crawled in bed with her.
"So," I yawned and continued, "what's on the agenda this week?"
"Tomarrow will be the school car wash and-" she said I blanched out the rest thinking about damon and what he ment about being invited in. And then I remember Elena said just now shool car wash.
"SO were raising money fo the school tomarrow," I said yawnig again. She replied yes and the rest blurred as I fell asleep while went on and on.
Dream:
I was in the grave yard walking past the tombstones. I had the eiry feeling someone was watching me. I look at the trees that almost touched to grave yard and saw a shadow of a man diapear in to the shadow.
I walked a little more. I heard a crunch come from behind me but when I snapped my head around I saw nothing but tomb stones. It was getting darker out the moon being my only light.
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't walk to the exit of the cemetery. I began to run in fright. I heard cawing and then stopped running all together. I looked in front of me to the left the scarcrow from yesterday. I smiled and walked over to it. But when I saw it sitting on a tomb Stone with fresh blood smeared on it I was filled with horror. I look to see the feet were dragged. I ran following the tracks. It went all the way into the woods.
When the track stop I found a girl with head facing downi ran over to the body and rolled it over. I came face to face with Elena. She had the same wound on her neck like Vicki. I shook her, but she made no movement what so ever. I started crying. I held Elena close to me and rocked back and forth.
The wind felt like it had picked up. I looked up and there stood Damon an Stefan as if in a trance. They looked at me and came closer. I got up with Elena in my arms and walked backwards. Before I could blink my eyes Stefan was in fron of me Nd threw Elena out of my arms.
I watched as her body landed with a loud thump. I screamed, "What are you doing?"
He just mocked a grin at me and stepped closer to me. I backed up in to a tree. I looked down and saw a stick. I grabbed it. What ever was going on they must have killed Elena. He pressed me against the tree and moved my head to the side. To bare my neck before anything could happen I stabbed him with the stick. He groaned and dropped to one knee in pain.
I knew this was my open window so I ran. I was running and running deeper into the woods but I knew as long as I was far away from them I would be happy. There was a rush of wind that past me. I slammed into a hard black shirted chest. Damon.
He was staring at me curiously and said, "I love it when my meals more blood pump."
I held out a hand and said, "Damon it's me Jade. Stop whateveryou are doing."
He looked spaced for a moment and then moved closer to me. What I didn't expect was him to kiss me, but he did. He held my hand against his chest and kissed me frantically.
What was happening. Was this what Stefan was going to do? I had tears running down my face to how tender and sweet the kiss was.
What happened next surprised me even more. I felt a sharp pain in my neck while Damon was kissing me. I felt Damon pull back. I felt weaker each minute. The pain never stopping. I screamed in pain. I felt my body being dryed of blood. I looked back at Damon to see his eyes turned black and cobwebs of vains grew underneath them.
"Damon?" I said but before I could blink before I could move he lunged at me.
