Stefan didn't know what to think. He is trying to resist the urge to drink him dry. They stand there for a while bewildered. How can Jeremy talk his way out of this one? Will he tell Elena? What will Jeremy do to keep his secret? Seconds pass ,and then minutes. Not a word is spoken. Stefan begins to say," What are you doing?"

He replies,"Nothing…"

"Don't lie to me…I can smell the blood."

"So what…the knife slipped."

"You're a horrible liar."

Jeremy walks into his room. Stefan rushes after him and grabs his arm. He pulls his jacket sleeve up.

"The knife slipped three times?"

"Yeah…maybe…why do you care."

"Cause you could kill yourself."

"It's my life!I can do whatever I want with it!"

"Well that's true…,but if you think Elena and I are going to sit and watch you do this your dead wrong!"

"Why won't you guys leave me alone! I hate you!I hate her! Why can't you all just leave me alone!"

He tries to walk away ,but Stefan grabs his arm.

Jeemy says,"Let go!"

"I won't do that. You can hate me,but not your sister."

"What are you gonna do…compel me to like her."

Stefan lets go of him.

"No, I'm not gonna use mind trick ,but when Elena finds out she's going to get you help whether you want it or not."

"She's not gonna make me do anything!"

Jeremy has a stake hidden behind his back. He stabs Stefan close to the heart. Stefan falls to the ground. Jeremy,thinking Stefan is dead, falls to the ground. He begins to cry. He sees the blood running on the hard wood floor. He stares at the blood for a long time. He says,"I know how I can be with Caroline." He drinks the blood from the floor. He walks off leaving Stefan alone.

Stefan regains his consciousness. He phones Elena and tells her about the cutting. He searches for Jeremy. He gets to the grill and asks for help from Caroline. She agrees and thinks of all the places he could be. They search for hours. Caroline decides to check the top of the grill. She gets to the top and sees Jeremy standing on the edge ready to jump. Caroline pleads," Jer, please don't do this."

He replies," I have to."

She begins to cry.

"Why?"

"It's the only way we can be together."

"Jeremy don't kill yourself for me…you won't survive."

"Yes I will. I will be a vampire…like you."

"How?"

"I drank some of Stefan's blood."

Tears begin to run down her face.

"Jeremy please don't. I can't live with myself if you do this. Don't do this for me. I will get over me. I don't want you to share the same fate as me."

"I'm doing this because I love you."

"Jeremy I love you the way you are…please don't jump…"

"Why do you care if I jump?"

Because…"

She chokes on the words.

"Because what?"

"I love you."

Caroline walks over to kiss him. He kisses back. They forget about how close they are to the each. Suddenly, Jeremy slips off the side. Caroline tries to catch him, but he slips through her fingers. Jeremy falls to his death.
