In the morning, I got out of the shower and changed into a purple turtleneck and black leather skirt. I was reading Jonathan Gilbert's journal and found out that he must have known about the vampires. I also found this drawing that he did and decided to get out my old sketchbook. I had kind of been obsessed with drawing hot vampire guys and sexy werewolves. I started to draw, trying to sketch Stefan. I wished that he was here so I could have an easier time. I didn't understand how he could just leave me. If not for the fact that I had nothing, I would probably be drunk right now.
I basically had two options for things that I could do. I could go to the school and set up for the career fair or I could go to the library and work on my paper some more. I guess there was the third option of trying to get Stefan to take me back, but I didn't have a lot of hope for that happening.
"Was that your sketchbook that I saw?" Jenna asked me as I went downstairs. I blushed as I grabbed a bagel from the counter.
"So I've been drawing a little." I responded. "I need something to do now that Stefan dumped me and told me that he's moving."
"Where is he going?" She asked.
"I don't know and I don't think that he's going to tell me." I responded as we both went out the door.
"Yours leaves and mine comes back." She explained.
"You saw Logan last night?" I questioned.
"Yeah, but I didn't let him past the front door." She told me.
"You can't ever see him again." I responded. "He's hurt you too many times and need to delete him."
"I've got it." She declared.
I decided to go to the library and I happened to find that Anna was there.
"So how is the paper going?" She asked me.
"Well I found that journal and found out that the guy who wrote it was a nutcase that believed in vampires." I answered.
"Maybe he was onto something." She stated. "I bet I can find some research that proves that vampires exist."
"He might have just been using vampires as an allegory for the Union soldiers." I declared. "I mean they attacked at night and were considered demonic by the confederates."
"How are you failing this class?" She questioned.
"I didn't do my homework or go to class." I declared.
"Still, I am going to find proof and you are going to help me." She told me. "I've actually some research into such a thing because I am weird. Look at this. Every few years there are a number of animal attacks. It can't just be a bunch of stupid people in the woods and how exactly do you explain the one that happened at the school?"
"Well I think that you might just be as crazy as he was." I teased her. I then noticed that she was pretty close to me. She actually grabbed me and pulled me into a kiss. I wasn't expecting that.
"Sorry." She apologized.
"I am not gay." I told her. "I can introduce you to someone who is. My sister likes girls."
"I still shouldn't have done that." She told me.
"Don't worry about it." I assured her. "I like to think of it as an affirmation that you think that I'm hot, which I kind of need after my boyfriend dumped me last night. I don't really want to go into it now."
"Well if you want, I could come over tonight and maybe we could have a slumber party." She offered.
"It's tempting but I have this career thing at the school." I told her. "Maybe you should let me take a rain check. Anyway, I need to get going. I'll see you later."
I stepped outside and surprisingly, I happened to see Stefan.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"We need to talk." He replied. I hoped that he wasn't about to tell me goodbye. "There was a vampire attack last night. A female victim was found just down the street from you."
"Are you sure it wasn't Damon?" I questioned.
"Damon's been trying to keep a low profile." He explained. "He wouldn't be obvious. I think that it's someone new because a vampire normally wouldn't be so careless unless there were trying to send a message. I can promise that I'll be in town at least until we deal with whoever it is that did it."
"Is there any chance that I could talk you into not leaving?" I questioned.
"No." He answered. "I can't stay here, Mary. I've caused too much trouble and I need to go, but I don't want to keep any more secrets from you. You deserve honesty."
I sighed and decided to head home. I could definitely get to work on writing. I think that I had most of the information that I needed. I walked into the house and noticed that Elena had a guitar. Uncle John had taught her how to play when she was younger, but it had been so long.
"What are you doing with that?" I asked her.
"I thought that maybe I could write songs." She explained. "I may not be the greatest singer, but you don't have to be to write. I was going to see if there was anything at the career fair about it. So do you still draw by any chance?"
"I don't know." I replied. "There was something that I want to talk to you about. I met this girl yesterday and she likes girls. Do you think that you might be ready to date again?"
"How do you know that she likes girls?" My sister asked.
"She might have kissed me." I answered with a blush.
"Seriously?" Elena asked as she began to giggle. "A girl kissed you?"
"I'm hot. Girls can kiss me if they want." I responded. "I happen to find it very flattering."
"You sound gayer than I am right now." She teased me. "So how are things with Stefan?"
"They're not." I declared. "I don't want to talk about it."
That night, I went to the school and began to check out the various booths of the career fair. I went towards the art booth and happened to notice that Tyler was there.
"What?" He asked me.
"Nothing, I'm just surprised to see you here." I told him. "Art generally implies culture and culture implies not you."
"Why don't you look at who drew these?" He suggested as I noticed the name Tyler Lockwood signed on them.
"Why didn't you ever tell me that you liked to draw?" I questioned angrily.
"It never came up." He responded. "Seriously, what do you want because I have better things to do than listen to you insult me all night."
Before I could say anything, I happened to notice that Stefan had walked over. Tyler decided that he didn't want to be around us and he walked away.
"You know you don't seem like someone that really needs to plan your future out." I quipped. "That could only mean one thing. You're here for me."
"I hope that's alright." He declared.
"As long I get to be near you, I'm not complaining." I stated. "So what would you be if you weren't well you know?"
"I wanted to be a doctor." Stefan remarked as we walked through some of the tables. "After everyone happened, I just couldn't."
"Yeah that seems like it would be the worst possible job for you." I agreed.
"I've dabbled in some other things over the years." He added.
"Did you not find anything that you liked enough to stick with?" I questioned. I wasn't upset that he hadn't because then I wouldn't have met him.
"I loved all of it but I had to move on before people realized that I wasn't getting older." He explained. "The longest that I could stay was usually 10 years. So, how about you? What did you want to be?"
"It doesn't matter." I snapped at him. "If you're not going to be here, why do you even care?"
"You'd be better off without me in your life." He stated. I was about to say something when Jenna came over to us.
"Hide me." She begged as she crouched down behind me.
"What are you doing?" I questioned.
"The motherfucker is here." She explained.
"Logan?" I asked. Well, I guess it made sense. He was a reporter and if anyone wanted advice on how to break into the field of journalism, they would probably need to talk to him.
"Wait, Logan Fell?" Stefan asked in confusion. There was some kind of subtext to that. Jenna nodded and he ran out into the hallway. About a minute later, Jenna and I followed him.
"Stefan, what the fuck?" I questioned.
Logan then walked over to us with a smug smile.
"Jenna, are you dodging me?" He asked.
"It's a form of self-preservation." My aunt replied.
"Mary, why don't go and take Jenna somewhere else." Stefan suggested. There was definitely something up and I needed to figure out what. I did as Stefan said and took her to the gym.
"What was Logan like when he came over last night?" I questioned.
"He was his usual self: charming, smarmy, entitled." She answered.
"Jenna, I'm serious. Did he do anything strange?" I asked her. I was beginning to form some suspicions, especially since the attack happened near the house.
"He was a little more manic than usual and he kept trying to get me to invite him in." She explained. That confirmed it.
"Jenna, I want you to never let him into the house." I instructed. "You should never even see him again."
"Jenna, Mary, it's good to see you two." Mr. Saltzman interrupted. I figured that this was a good distraction.
I then went to find Stefan because I was angry at him. I found him outside with a phone in his hand. I wondered if he had been talking to Damon.
"So is there anything you wanted to say to me Mr. I Didn't Tell You Logan's A Vampire?" I asked.
"When we were looking for Vicki, Logan came hunting for us. He was ready to kill me, but Damon killed him first. I don't know who turned him."
"Well we need to get him away from all of these people." I proposed. "Let's go back inside."
We went inside and decided to ask the first person that we saw, who happened to be Matt.
"Hey, have you seen Logan Fell the news guy?" I asked him.
"Yeah, he was giving Caroline a ride home." Matt answered.
"Stay here." Stefan told me. I figured it was a good idea to listen to him for a change.
About half an hour later, he returned.
"Well?" I asked him.
"She's okay. She only knows that Logan attacked her." He explained.
"What about Logan?" I followed.
"Damon was dealing with him." He replied. I assumed that meant killing. "Now do you see why we can't be together?"
At that point, I noticed Elena.
"Do you think I can take your car to give Stefan a ride home?" I asked her before she handed over the keys.
"I can get there on my own." He replied. I just looked at him. "Okay, let's go."
I drove to the boarding house and parked in the driveway. He stayed in the car for a minute.
"So why are you really leaving?" I asked him. "If it's about all of this supernatural stuff, I can handle it. I can handle that you're a vampire and your brother killed like 10 people since he got here and that I still have a scar from where Vicki bit me. You want to know what I wanted to be when I grew up? I wanted to be a doctor too. Even though I love to draw, I wanted to help people like my dad did, but I don't know if I'd really want to spend such a long time getting a degree. After the accident happened, I was a wreck. I drank way too much and without you I wouldn't be able to get through my life."
"I can't." He replied as I got out of the car.
I got out and followed him and grabbed onto him and kissed him. I was not going to let him walk away from me.
The kiss seemed to do the trick because it got him going as he began to kiss back. We went into the house, parting only in brief instances for me to breathe. I knew where this was going and I wanted it. I then noticed that veins were forming under his eyes and he pulled away, but I was not going to let anything stop this. I was too horny for that. I grabbed onto him and got him to look at me.
"Stefan, it's okay. I told you that I don't care." I assured him. "I love you for all that you are, even this part."
He then started kissing me again and we headed upstairs and to his room. We slowly began to take off each other's clothing before he laid me down on the bed. Whereas sex with Tyler was rough and wild, sex with Stefan was soft and tender and he really knew how to make me feel good. It went on for a solid half hour.
Once we were done, he was wearing a pair of black pants and I had his navy blue shirt on over my underwear as we cuddled on the bed.
"I've never been in your room before." I told him.
"Well it hasn't changed much over the years." He explained. "Every memory that I ever thought was worth keeping is in here."
"Well I think that it's very you." I told him as I looked around.
"Do you want some water?" He asked me.
"Sure." I replied before he got up. I decided that I would get up too and look around. I was looking for any old pictures. I did happen to find one, but it wasn't of him. It was of Katherine…who looked just like Elena. This was a huge secret that he hadn't told me. I threw my necklace on the dresser and got dressed before headed out to the car.
I began to drive home. All of was going smoothly until I noticed a man in the road. I honked my horn but he didn't move and I hit him, flipping the car in the process. Elena was going to kill me. I then looked at the man and noticed he was getting up and screamed.
So you may have seen Anna kissing Mary. And she freaked over Stefan not telling her the secret, but they did have sex. Now she's going to Georgia with Damon. Please don't forget to review.
