Jeremy looks down at the blood running down his arm. The cut isn't deep enough to kill him, but it still hurt. He walks to the bathroom trying to avoid Elena. He washes off the blood and says to himself that he will never do that again. He goes over to his bed to go to sleep and forget this day ever , Caroline is in her room crying her eyes out. Her mom knocks at the door, but she does not answer. After her mother leaves, she rummages under her bed for something. She finds a stake, and examines its point to see if it's sharp enough to pierce through her heart. She sees the stake is sharp enough. She holds it close to her chest. She begins to cry again. Her hands are shaking. She holds the knife above her head and begins to thrust it to her chest. Suddenly, she throws the stake down. She says, "I can't do it." Her mascara was a mess all over her face. She was so heartbroken, but she couldn't kill herself.
The next day she looks as if nothing had happened. She seems as if she's bouncing back or is she just putting up a front. She struts into school making all the boys' mouths drop except the one she wanted. She walks past him like he was just Elena's kid brother again. On the outside she looks unfazed by him, but on the inside she is heartbroken. He glances at her. He only glances she thought. She was enraged again with his attitude. Why couldn't he understand? Will he ever come around? Would she be better off dead? Was he the one? She tried to shake all the questions going threw her head. She needs to forget, but how? Then she sees some random jock staring at her. She walks over and flirts with him.
This frustrates Jeremy. He knows she's only doing this because of him, but it still upset him. He rushes to the bathroom. He goes into one of the disgusting public school stalls. He grabs his pocket knife and makes another incision below the first one. He starts to feel better, and he puts the knife back in his pocket. After he washes the blood off, he covers it with his bracelet. He walks out of the bathroom ignoring Caroline. He gets stopped by Elena. He tries to walk away from her, but she follows him. She asks, "What's your problem?"
He replies," You're my problem."
"Why won't you let me help you with whatever is going on with you."
"There's nothing going on with me!"
He begins to walk away. Elena grabs his arm, and he pushes her against the locker.
"Leave me alone!"
Stefan sees Elena get smashed into the lockers. He rushes to see if she is okay. Jeremy walks off. Stefan, more worried about Elena, helps her up and lets him go. Caroline happens to see what happened. She walks over to see if Elena's okay. She tries to comfort her by putting her hand on her shoulder. Elena rejects her kindness and shakes off her hand. Elena and Stefan walk off with her in his arms. Why can't she forgive Caroline? She left Jeremy alone? She erased his memory? What more did she want?
It is now night. Caroline goes to the grill with the random jock. She notices Jeremy in the corner, so she asks the jock to dance. Jeremy watches them dance. It hurts him so much to look, but he can't take his eyes off them. After sitting there a while, he notices Elena and Stefan come in, so he makes his way out the back to avoid them. Unfortunately for him, Stefan hears him leaving, and he excuses himself to follow Jeremy.
Jeremy walks all the way home not knowing Stefan is following him. He goes upstairs to the bathroom. He pulls out his pocket knife again. He accidentally left the door unlocked, so Stefan slips in the house unnoticed. He walks upstairs to find him. He sees the bathroom door closed. He opens the door and sees him holding a knife to his wrist. The blood was flowing down his wrist to the floor. Jeremy looks shocked at Stefan. Stefan gives him a worried look back.
