CHAPTER EIGHT
The night before was weird. I mean really weird. After I made my (amazing, admit it) sarcastic remark to Elena, Stefan got up and walked over. I remember he stared into my eyes for a while and said... Something. Only I couldn't remember because suddenly
I was so tired I turned around and went right up to bed.
I wish I could say I slept dreamlessly, but all through the early hours of the morning I would wake up covered in a sheen of sweat from a nightmare on repeat. At about five AM I gave up and went downstairs, pouring myself a glass of water and sitting
on the couch.
"I only kissed you because I'm using you, Cherokee." No. Don't say that. Sapphire. Call me sapphire. "I wish I could just leave you. Like everyone has. You know it's all your fault, right?" Damon's words were cruel, but I knew deep down this isn't real.
"Why don't you just leave?" Suddenly Elena is behind me and I turn to see her smiling coldly. "We didn't want to take you in. We got stuck with you. Just go already." No. Please stop. I don't know what I did wrong, please tell me what I did!
I fall to the ground crying as they walk away laughing at me...
I shake off the memory of my chilling nightmare and swallow the rest of my water. I look out the window and watch as the sky brightened, first to a lighter blue, the mixes of pink, purple, orange, yellow and sky blue. I was still staring out the window,
my mind zoned out when Jenna came downstairs, pouring coffee with a yawn. When she turned around she saw me sitting there in the living room, she walked over and sat down next to me.
"What's wrong Hun?" She reaches over and wipes tears away that I didn't know I had been shedding. I reached up and touched my cheeks, surprised to find them cold and wet to the touch. I let out the first sob and more tears started pouring down my face.
"Ohhh... Come here." she set her cup down and pulled me into her arms, kissing the top of my head when I started sobbing into her shoulder. I felt her rub my back in an effort to calm me down. She stayed quiet until my sobs slowed and I was breathing
normally, I pulled back and wiped my face with my hand.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked me, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I don't have much to say... I guess the fact that they left me just hit me again." I paused for a moment and lifted my feet up onto the edge of the couch, hugging my knees to my chest. "I didn't sleep well." She noticed I didn't have anything else
to say and changed the subject.
"Would you like me to get you something? I can make breakfast, bacon is great for lifting my mood." I smiled weakly and nodded my head, and I saw her get up out of the corner of my eye. Elena and Jeremy would be up soon... I better go wash my face. I
got up and walked to the downstairs bathroom.
The cool water felt good on my face, which was red and puffy from my crying episode. Just what I need. Puffy eyes for the rest of my day. I walked back out to see Elena and Jeremy at the table while Jenna set the food out on plates.
"Ummm... Morning." I have a small wave and went to sit between Jeremy and Elena at the table.
"Morning!" They both said, but with different levels of enthusiasm. Elena's being the more chipper. Jenna walked over and put the plates down on the table, it smelled so good I felt my stomach clench in hunger. We all said our own version of 'thank you'
and began to eat.
