Kathy/katy has like always been Jeremy's nickname for Katherine fyi Sorry this is super short
I quickly got in the shower and got dressed. I straightening my hair knowing Elena always straightened her hair when human plus he'll probably trust me more is I resemble Elena more. So I pick out my most boring plain clothes and simple shoes. The shoes are a pair on Scott's old converses the look good but I hate them. I'm wearing jeans, purple v-neck and a leather jacket. I take a step back, checking myself out in my full length mirror
"God I look like Elena." I spit out in distaste. "Perfect." I immediately grin. My beeps, I walk over and pick it up from my nightstand.
"Uncle Jer": You ready? I'm outside
Kathy: Yeah be right there.
I grab my bag from my bed and shrug it over my shoulder. I look around my room and make a mental note to redecorate. I don't bother saying goodbye to Scott or mom, I just head outside. I see a pickup truck in the driveway. The front door to the truck opens and I walk out the front door, closing it behind me. A man swings out of the car,grin plastered on his face and fuck me he's change. I stop for a moment just scanning him over. His once mild brown hair is now darker, jaw widened more squared off and all around Damn! like really he's older. Well obvious, last time I saw him he was like what? 17 and its been a little over 17 years since I've seen him. Damn, he's kinda hot.
"Uncle Jer!" I smile running you to him and dropping down my bag next to him. He looks shocked momentary as he looks at me but shake it off when I throw my arms around his neck , laughing. He wraps his arms around my waist, laughing at me.
"Hey Katy" He laughs as I pull pick up my bag, throwing in the car. He turns back to me, smiling and hands on his sides. "You really do look like Elena." He observes
"I must, I've been mistaken for her several times. She must of been an amazing person." I admit, wanting to throw up when saying that last part.
"Yeah, she was. Now let's go." He grin, patting me on the shoulder and climbing back into the car. I sigh and walk around to the other side, hopping in the passengers seat.
"So Jer, where are we going?" I ask as he pulls out of the drive way and starts driving.
"It was going to be Mystical falls but now Chicago."
"Why did it change?"
"I mean we can go to Mystic Falls but you'll have to stay the extra week."
"Fine." I roll my eyes. "Why Chicago?"
"I have place there."
"You mentioned family before, are they there?"
"Yeah but they're more adopted family. Matt , He's like a brother known each over since forever and his four year old twins; Clarissa and Jason."
"There mother?"
"Sarah, She died in child birth."
"That's horrible." I speak with real sympathy.
"Yeah."
"What about you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Love."
"I was married for a few year. High school sweetheart. She couldn't cope with my job, she wanted a normal, safe life. I wanted to give others normal, safe lives." He responds eyes never leaving the road. Huh, so little Gilbert married the Bennett witch. I wonder he means about giving other a safe life. Oh dear lord, he hasn't gone back to hunting, has he?
"Too bad."
"Yeah." He sighs
"Isn't Chicago a 30 something hour drive away?" I worry.
"Yep and Chicago eleven Hours from that."
"Yay." I say in a rather drab tone.
"Two days of 15 hours of driving time a day"
"Fifteen hours?!"
"We can trade driving and take breaks." He shrugs
"I don't have a licence."
"You don't? Makes sense. Fine 3 ten hour days." He compromises
"Fine." I sigh already dreading the trip back knowing this trip might be a little longer then 2 weeks. He just laughs.
We get dinner threw a drive threw and sit in the truck, eating it. The cars parked and the foods open on the dashboard.
"So we getting a hotel or sleeping in the car, cause I'd prefer a hotel." I ask reaching for the fries and stuffing a few in my face when I get them.
"Yeah we'll find a hotel and get a room when we finish." He answers for the next while we just sit listening to the radio eating. "So Kathy got a boyfriend, Ex? I'll kill him if you want." He half jokes.
"Ha no ex. Just some new guy at schools been trying to get in my pants." I reply.
"What has name?" He asks. I pause debating whether I should tell him or not.
"Think his names Steve." I respond.
"Old name."
"I know right?!" I laugh incredulously.
It takes a little over an hour to find a vacant hotel.
"Hey, can we have one room, two beds." Jeremy asks the hotel clerk.
"Sorry we only have one room left, Its a double bed." The clerk responds. Jeremy sighs and looks over to me.
"You okay will that Kathy? I can sleep on the floor is necessary."
"It's fine Uncle Jer."
"Excuse me, miss how old are you?" The clerk inquires with a tilt of his head. Creeper alert. Jeremy grabs my arm pulling me back, shielding me.
"Can we just get the room?!" He snap at him
"Sure..." The clerk hesitates turn around and grabbing a key from the board as Jeremy put down the money. I snatch the key from the clerks hand.
"Room 19." I read aloud grabbing Jeremy's arm and pulling Jeremy the way to the room.
