This takes place when Jeremy moves out and Elena goes back to campus, there is a nice Emma/Damon moment in here sorry for uploading late but this one took a while to get ready. Hope it isn't too short enjoy!

I sat on Jeremy's bed as he packed his bags, "I think I should go with you." "I think you should too," he said smiling. "Will you call Tyler and Matt and ask them if I can stay there for a while?" "Yeah of course." Jeremy seemed surprised that I was serious about leaving.

"I just need to move on and stop worrying about leaving my brothers alone for five seconds and get a life." We both laughed. I got up and walked to my room slowly and began packing that big duffel bag for real now. I packed everything into and picked the huge thing up slinging it over my shoulder. Jeremy walked into my room,"You now have reservations at Tyler and Mattville." "I hope they don't mind." "Of course they won't we're all friends here."

Jeremy always knew how to lighten up my mood. He walked downstairs and Damon and Elena argued with him."No, we aren't going to discuss anything in the morning, I am leaving."

"Me two." Damon looked shocked. "Nope." "Yes Damon, me and Jeremy are going to go stay with Matt and Tyler," I said smiling. I felt the relief of finally being able to make my own choices without my brothers intervening.

"I will call you guys every day." Jeremy hugged Elena and looked at Damon, I walked over and Damon hugged me tightly . Me and Jeremy ran over and picked up our bags smiling and excited and held hands as we skipped out the door.

When we got in the car I said," I really hope we don't regret this." "We won't," Jeremy said in a calming voice. I sat in the car not speaking and for some reason leaving my brothers behind made me anxious. "Hey Jer?" "Yeah?" "Do you ever get a feeling that something really bad is going to happen if you leave someone alone for a second?" "Occasionally?" "Well anyways I think it's probably just my imagination."

"Have you ever really been away from your brothers?" "Yes but that was one of the times I turned my humanity off." "Wait you turned your humanity off, when?" "In the 70's briefly and from the 10's to the 40's." "Wow thats a long time." "It was because I didn't want to kill humans and I didn't want to suck on bunnies and back in the day they didn't have blood bags so yeah."

"I have definitely done my fare share of bad." "I honestly can't blame you because handling as much as you have in the past takes some serious willpower." "Oh trust me Jeremy you haven't heard the bit of it." "Care to elaborate?"

"Well when my mother had me she was sick and she had tubercolosis and I weakened her and pretty much killed her, when I was 15 I walked downstairs to see my supposedly dead brother drinking my father's blood then my other supposedly dead brother turned me into a vampire and my father went pretty much psycho after my mom died." "So yeah the fates haven't exactly been in my favor but today is my next chance to not try to be normal but to try to be happy."

"Well good luck." When we pulled up Matt and Jeremy weren't in the house so Jer told me he was going to go look for them. I sat down on the couch and this annoying feeling of wondering if Damon is okay.

I had been away from them before but it was so much worse this pulling sensation that I had to go home. Wait calm down this is home. I wondered what it was going to be like to wake up without my brothers in the morning.

I couldn't leave Damon all alone. I found a piece of paper and wrote SORRY on it. I started running back home a smile suddenly on my face, I would give up the freedom of choice to be with my family easily.

I am so damn selfish all I want is Emma, and Elena here I might even miss little Gilbert. I know if I think about them one more time I won't be able to control how selfish I am and I'm going to go get them and drag them back here. I heard a sudden knock at the door.

I knocked lightly on the door waiting for my brother to open the door. Damon swung the door open and immediately pulled me into a tight hug as tears streamed down my face,"I just couldn't do it." "Its okay baby sis." He rubbed my back and calmed me down.

He picked me up leaving my bags in the front room and carried me to my room and put me on my bed. "I just couldn't leave you behind." "Its okay." he said kissing my head. I laid down and fell asleep quite quickly.

I had the dream of the night I was turned again hearing father groaning downstairs knowing what was happening. Damon appeared in my dream,"How often do you dream about this?" he asked sympathetically. "A lot." "Keep calm but I am going to go downstairs okay?" "Yeah okay," I said nervously.

He slowly creaked open the door and I joined him as we both walked downstairs. I tried to keep calm because I would wake up if I got nervous.

Damon now got to see Stefan drinking father's blood on the ground from my point of view. Dream Stefan looked up at Damon and me and vamp sped at me and I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the pain. But it never came I opened my eyes and saw the forest that me,Stefan, and Damon used to play in.

I walked forward and in the middle of the forest was the picture of mother. Tears streamed down my face as I hugged Damon staring at the painting. A bright light shined away from the painting and I woke up.
