Jeremy's POV

It was only a few hours to go until the party tonight. I was waiting anxiously for Anna and Vicki to show up, as they had promised to help with setting up the party. They were meant to be her this morning. I was drifting in and out of daydreams with music blaring in my ears when I saw Jenna's head poke through the door.

"Jer, Vicki's here. Do you need anything extra? There's beer in the fridge, but you wouldn't dream of drinking, would you?" She said with a smile.

I smiled back at her, knowing what she meant. "Of course not, Aunt Jenna. And I don't think Anna or Vicki would dream of it either."

"So if any of you were passed out I'd know it was from all the stress from school, because the beggining of the school year is so tiring."

We laughed together then. Aunt Jenna was actually one of the coolest adults I knew, she had gotten high in college, got drunk and was now dating my history teacher (the last part wasn't cool but it was something I couldn't avoid. I had gotten past all the awkward conversations in school and at home when I saw him, and he was a pretty nice guy).

Noticing that she was wearing mascara and had her hair done up, I couldn't help but wonder why she was dressed like that. "So where are you going then? I didn't know you had something planned. Usually the deal is you go get drunk with your friends."

"I do not! I only drink a few cocktails."

"Stumbling home at 4am isn't getting drunk? Wow, I've been getting it wrong for ages."

She pouted then. "Fine, I'm going on a date with Alaric. It's our one year anniversary. And he better have remembered." She left my room then and I got up to go downstairs and meet Vicki.

"Hell hath no fury," I said to myself, following her down the stairs.

I could hear Vicki from here. She was having an arguement with Stefan. I paused to listen for a minute before smiling.

"Bob Dylan? The Doors? Journey? Stefan, this isn't party music. This is 'rock-out-with-your-still-hip-and-cool-grandad' music." I could see the CD Stefan had prepared go flying out of the door to the living room. "Now this is good music," Vicki said, as the beats of LMFAO started to play. I continued down the stairs and watched from the doorway. Vicki was dressed in a tight-fitting black dress with one shoulder that ended halfway down her thighs. She had her hair curled a rolling down her back in waves.

"But I haven't heard of any of these," Stefan whined. "Who are Panic at the Disco? Oh, Lady Gaga I know." He paused for a second. "Hang on, Lady Gaga?" He said. "We're going to be partying to Lady Gaga?"

"Shut up, Stefan," Vicki said, striking a Lady Gaga pose. "She's Mother Monster."

I couldn't help but snort at her response. Vicki whirled around and smiled when she saw me. "I've been teaching Stefan on how to listen to music," she said as she bounded up to me. She grabbed me in a tight hug then walked into the kitchen, calling Elena's name.

"So who's coming tonight altogether then?" I asked Stefan. He liked to think that he and Elena had both organised this party, but he had hardly had a say in anything. I noticed that he was wearing typical jeans and a tight-fitting shirt that hugged his frame well. I didn't look for too long, I wasn't prepared to tell him, Jenna or Elena about who I was just yet. I would do it once I found the right guy.

"Bonnie, Caroline, Bonnie's brother Sam, some guys Elena knows, some people I know, Damon..." He trailed off when he saw my face. "Don't worry," he assured me, "He's promised not to feed, and I'll make sure he does before he comes. Anyway, other people coming are... Well, there's just Matt and Tyler as well. Bonnie invited them." Stefan turned away and started to unpack the cups.

"Tyler's coming?" The news shocked me. I know he'd never pass up a party, but it was remembering what Anna said that made me anxious. 'Someone who cares for you greatly'. Did Tyler care for me? Was Tyler attracted to me?

Stefan didn't turn around, but he responded all the same. "Yeah, but I'll make sure he doesn't do anything funny. I know after the hospital thing you'd be a bit suspicious, but he's an alright guy, once you get to know him."

A knock on the door sounded then, and it could only be one person. Caroline and Bonnie were already here with Elena in the kitchen, and Vicki was already here. Smiling as I walked up to the door, I wrenched it open.

"A little energetic tonight, aren't we?" Damon said, crossing the doorway. He was wearing a black leather jacket with a white top, complete with ripped jeans. He was holding a glass decanter in his hand, swirling with a dark red liquid.

Stefan appeared then, cups forgotten. "Blood?" He said, his face livid. "You brought blood tonight? Are you mad?"

"Relax, little brother, there's still a few hours to go until the party tonight. This is for us. I reckon you need some to stop the cravings tonight. There's nothing more irresistable," he said the word slowly. "Than a drunken Elena." He swaggered into the living room with Stefan's eyes still watching him. "Red cups?" Damon called. "That's a little stereotypical for a house party isn't it? Now blue, blue's unpredictable."

Stefan's eyes relaxed then - the veins had come out when he had gotten angry with Damon. He sighed, and followed Damon into the room.

Suddenly, someone piped up behind me, tapping me on the shoulder. "Sorry we're late Jer, me and Vicki went shopping. She left me in the car to sort out all the stuff we bought." I turned around to spot Anna in the doorway, dressed all the red, apart from the green eyeshadow she wore. Anna was wearing a strapless red dress that hugged her frame. It ended in a slant at the bottom, from below her knee to halfway up her thigh.

I raised my eyebrows at her. "You needn't think you're having sex in this house, so don't bother."

"Jeremy, how dare you?" She said, pretending to be hurt. She walked into the living room to greet Stefan and Damon. "That's why we brought the car."

It was my job to hang around by the door and answer it for anyone who rang. We had gotten past the awkward first hour of the party and now the alcohol was flowing and people were beginning to get drunk. Most of the people had already arrived but some were avoiding the first few hours until everyone was drunk. A knock on the door alerted me that the final guests of the night were here. I was already a little bit tipsy because Vicki, Anna and I had been doing shots of vodka, a new experience for me. Needless to say, it tasted horrible.

I opened the door then with a strange smile on my face. I couldn't stop smiling, or laughing. Matt walked in with Sam, and Tyler was tailing behind. I stopped smiling then. Oh my God, I thought, it's Tyler. All the dreams and the thoughts I had been having about him crashed down on me at once. I was finding it hard to breathe, so I excused myself and tried to run up the stairs, falling on the way.

I had only just gotten into the bathroom when I was sick in the toilet bowl. After the first few gushes, Vicki was beside me rubbing my back. I shivered and got awkwardly to my feet. "I'm alright," I told her. "I'm okay." She nodded and left as I began to brush my teeth. The steady beats of the music wear echoing in the bathroom, and I could hear people laughing. I looked in the mirror and rubbed my hand down my face, feeling back to normal.

Walking back into the front room, I grabbed a fresh beer and began to chug. Anna appeared next to me, already drunk.

"J... Jeremy... J-Jeremy!" She shouted. She was completely wasted and couldn't stand upright, her hand was clutching the tabletop for support. "Guess how many boys I've made out with? Go on, guess! Five!" Anna laughed, holding up two fingers. She groaned then and fell to the floor.

Sighing, I wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted her up. "Come on, my drunken angel," I said mockingly. I tried to stagger up the stairs with her, but she kept falling down, unconscious. Someone wrapped their arm around mine then, giving extra support. It was Tyler. I stopped for a second and gazed into his eyes, and he gazed back. The world seemed to stop around us, and in that brief second, we shut out the world. Tyler broke the moment by nodding and pulling Anna up the stairs. I snapped back into action and helped him carry her. Opening the door to my room, I saw a half-naked Stefan and a half-naked Elena making out on my bed.

"Oh!" I yelled, covering my eyes. "Wrong room you two!" I took a peek to see if they were responding. They were. Elena had grabbed her shirt and was trying to fit her head through the sleeve. Stefan was laughing drunkenly from the bed.

Elena gave up and dropped the shirt to the floor. She took Stefan's hand and stumbled out of my room, both of them laughing, pausing only to make out once more in the hall before crashing into her room.

I sighed as Tyler and I dumped Anna onto my bed, pushing Stefan's shirt out of the way. Anna groaned and rolled over, but was fast asleep, snoring. I turned to leave then, but Tyler's voice stopped me.

"I'm sorry, Jeremy. For that time I hit you. In the hospital? I didn't mean to, I just... I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry." During his speech, I had crossed the room to square up to him. Maybe it was the alcohol, but I felt like something was going to go down.

"Fine. But if you do it again, I'll break you," I threatened. Was I drunk? What the hell was I saying, I'd only had half a bottle of vodka. And a few beers. And a- Oh shit, I thought.

"Want to try it Gilbert? I can take you. Just accept the bloody apology and-"

I didn't give Tyler time to finish his sentence. Maybe it was because I was drunk, but I couldn't keep my lips off of his. Tyler broke away after a few seconds and punched me square in the face, knocking me to the floor. Oh crap crap crap crap crap crap crap crap, I scolded myself. Tyler isn't gay, and even if her was, why did you have to have your first kiss when you were drunk. Just apologise, now!

"Tyler? Tyler!" I called from the floor. The door slammed shut and I closed my eyes, sighing. I'd blown it. I tried to remember what the kiss had been like when I felt a weight on my waist. My eyes flickered open to see Tyler straddling me. For a second I thought his eyes flashed amber like I thought they had before.

"Shut the hell up, Gilbert," he told me, before bending over and planting his lips on mine.

It was pure ecstacy. His lips moulded into mine perfectly, as if they were born to be together. Our lips mashed in unison as Tyler forced his tongue out and into my mouth. We fought for dominance with our tongues. Tyler won easily. He ran his hands down my side, and I ran mine down his back, pulling him closer towards me. I could feel his pulse through his jeans, his member straining to be released. He detatched himself from my mouth and worked his way down to my neck, giving my earlobe little bites between kisses. I groaned and arched my back before letting it fall, moaning in pleasure. I gasped as I felt Tyler's teeth sink into my neck, but the pain wasn't bad. It felt amazing. In that one moment, all I wanted Tyler to do was sink his teeth deeper into me and draw blood. I knew he could sense it as well. He grinned against my neck and growled.

"Jeremy?" Anna's confused mumble sounded from the bed.

What a God damned cockblock, I told myself. Tyler was still going at it on my neck, but I pushed him off and he rolled to the side. He quickly got on to all-fours and planted a kiss on my lips. "See you," he told me before getting up and leaving.

I smiled to myself for a second before remembering Anna. I got up and stood at the side of her bed, looking over her. She blinked a few times before sitting up. "Was that Tyler?" She asked me, her voice quiet. She moaned and fell backwards, rubbing her forehead.

"Yeah, he helped me carry you up the stairs." I sat down on the bed next to her and smiled.

She gasped and shot up, head barely missing mine. "Jeremy, Tyler knows you're gay!" I meant to tell you but I forgot about it until now. It wasn't my fault, but oh my God, he know's you're gay!"

Yeah he does, I smiled to myself.

Author's note: I hope you liked it! I did, at least... I wanted to include something else as well, but that's staying up in my head until later on!
