Coming Home
2 weeks had gone by and I still struggled with being in Denver. Jeremy adjusted just fine and got new friends and a job within the first week. I tried my best to be there for Jeremy but I was still heartbroken. I didn`t sleep well, had nightmares all the time but I had to stand up and get out there. Jeremy could see that I wasn`t happy but I put on a brave face. Our apartment were right beside my mother`s cousin Marie and we became close right away. We ran each other's doors down all the time. Her husband, Samuel was a good man and he was good to Jeremy. It`s good that he has someone to look up to. Marie understood my behavior. Even though the only thing Jeremy told Marie that some boy broke my heart and that I was still struggling with John`s death. Which was true. In addition, it didn`t help that Klaus tried to call me all the time or text me nonstop. I couldn`t bring myself to listening to the voicemails. Because I knew that if I did, I would either cave in or become even more broken than I already was.
One day, Jeremy came home during lunch.
"Hey! What are you doing home now? Shouldn`t you be at school?" I asked surprised.
"I just came home to check on you. I`m worried about you." I sighed and gave him a look.
"I`m fine Jeremy. I just need some time to get over all of this." Jeremy shook his head.
"I wish you could stop lying to me." He said in a low voice. "Anyway, we have company. Someone who really wanted to see you." I didn`t understand.
"Who?" Jeremy went over to the door and opened it. I never thought in a million years, that Stefan Salvatore would be standing at my doorstep in Denver.
"Well, well. Evil-Stefan. What are you doing here?" I tried to smile and felt that a little of my old self was creeping back.
"It`s not Evil-Stefan anymore. My humanity is back." When Stefan said that, I felt relieved. I gave him a crushing hug and just stood there.
"I missed you bestie." I said into his chest.
"I know, I`m sorry." I let my tears fall again and at the same time, Marie came in our backdoor. She looked at Stefan and me.
"Is that the boyfriend?" she whispered to Jeremy.
"No, that`s Stefan. Her long, lost best friend." He told her with a smile.
Stefan and I were sitting in my room.
"How are you feeling?" I knew he was asking because he noticed that I`ve gotten skinnier.
"Honestly? Like crap. I`m depressed and I don`t know what to do anymore." Stefan understood what I were feeling.
"I hate Klaus for what he did to Jeremy and to me. I don`t think I could ever forgive him but.." I couldn`t finish that sentence.
"You miss him." Stefan interrupted. All I could do was nodding.
"So much it hurts." I forced myself not to cry anymore. I didn`t want to. Jeremy came into my room just then.
"Amy, you know I love you and that I always want you with me but you can`t do this anymore. You need to follow Stefan back to Mystic Falls." I looked at my brother in shock.
"No. I want to stay here with you, Jeremy. Denver is my home now." I could see that Jeremy didn`t agree.
"Being here in Denver isn`t helping you. It`s not good for you. That`s why I called Stefan. You need to go back home and heal." I didn`t want to leave Jeremy.
"What about you? You can`t just live here by yourself." Jeremy chuckled.
"With Marie and Samuel running down our door all the time, I think it will work out just fine. Go home Amy. It`s where you belong. I still love you."
After going back and forth for a while, we all decided it was time for me to return to Mystic Falls with Stefan. Only because he promised me to keep Klaus out of my way.
I gave Jeremy a bone-crushing hug before I got into the car with Marie and Stefan.
"Take care of yourself Jeremy. Call me if you need anything. I will be here in no time." Jeremy kissed my cheek.
"I Know. I love you big sister."
"Love you too little brother."
Only by sitting on a plane and talking to Stefan, I felt more like my old self again. We joked around and I was laughing. "
Oh and by the way." I said and punched Stefan in the shoulder.
"That's for stealing the coffins and making all this mess and for threatening to kill your girlfriend who happens to be my sister." Stefan rubbed his arm.
"I guess I deserved that."
Stefan used the flight to fill me up with everything. About what happened that night when he almost killed Elena just to make Klaus send his hybrids away.
"That was Caroline`s birthday" I realized.
"Yes it was. And it didn`t end good for her." I looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Stefan shrugged.
"Tyler bit her and she almost died but Klaus came to her rescue." Klaus had saved one of my friends.
"Tonight, Damon and I are going to him to eat dinner and figure out what we should do. Klaus got all of his coffins back. All but one. We can`t get it open, so we held on to that. Oh, and Damon undaggered Elijah." I looked at Stefan with a question on my face.
"Elijah? I`ve never met him." All I knew is that Elijah is Klaus` compassionate older brother.
"Could you please not tell Klaus that I`m back? I don`t want him to know yet." I asked Stefan as we walked off the plane and the airport close to Mystic Falls.
"I promise. Where do you want me to drop you off? At Elena`s or the boarding house?" I thought about it.
"Drop me off at my sister`s. I need to talk to her and Ric." Stefan nodded.
"So, how are thing between you and Elena now?" Stefan shrugged.
"We decided to break up." He looked sad.
"I`m sorry. I know how much you love her."
Stefan drove me to the house and I gave him a hug.
"Thank you. For coming to Denver to bring me home." I said to him.
"You`re welcome. It`s good to have you home and you`ll be yourself back in no time." I gave him a smile and got out of the car. I promised to call Stefan if there was something wrong and if I just needed to talk.
I took my bags and walked up the stairs to the porch. It was starting to get dark soon. I walked through the door and saw Elena and Ric standing at the dining table. They both turn around in surprise. They didn`t expect to see me.
"Amy! What are you doing here?" Elena came over and gave me a hug.
"I`m coming home. Stefan came to Denver and brought me back. Jeremy called him. I wasn`t happy there." Ric came over and gave me a hug. That`s when I noticed all the weapons on the table.
"What`s going on here?" Elena and Ric told me about the council member who was found murdered, and everything.
Elena gave me a cup of tea.
"Thank you." She looked at me.
"Does Klaus know that you`re back in town?" I shook my head.
"No, I told Stefan that I didn`t want him to know yet. Damon and he are going over to his mansion tonight." Elena nodded.
"I know." Elena got up.
"Would you like to come with me to go to Caroline`s? Her father is in transition to become a vampire and he`s not going to complete it." I looked at her in shock.
"Poor Caroline. She doesn`t deserve it. Let's go." I gave Ric another hug and we went after Elena out to the car. Ric drove us to her. I didn`t want to drive my own. I got the one from Klaus when we came back from Chicago.
Caroline sat outside on the porch when we pulled up in her driveway. She looked surprised to see me.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were in Denver with Jeremy." I gave her a hug.
"I`m back now. I didn`t belong in Denver." She gave me a little smile.
"I`m glad you`re back." "Thank you." I said and sat down.
"Wait. Does Klaus know that you`re back?" I sighed.
"Caroline knows now?" Elena stiffened.
"Sorry, I thought you wouldn`t mind. Since the others knew." I placed my hand on her shoulder.
"It`s ok. I don`t mind."
Elena turned to Caroline.
"Have you heard from Tyler yet?" Caroline shrugged.
"No and I`ve left messages everywhere." She looked so sad. I felt so bad for her. Right now, my problems didn`t seem so important. Caroline needed us.
"So, how`s your dad?" I asked quietly.
"My mom`s in there with him now. I don`t think they have stayed in the same room like that since I was 10." She looked back at the house, completely heartbroken.
"I can`t just let my father die. I have to force him to feed." Elena took her hand.
"Caroline, he doesn`t want to. The only thing he has left is his choice." Caroline started crying.
"I hated him so much for what he did to me. I hated him and now. All I want to do is to save his life." I took Caroline in my arms.
"Of course you do. No matter what, he`s still your father." I told her.
Someone stood in front of us. When I looked up I expected it to be Tyler but it was Matt. He came to comfort Caroline. She got up and hugged him whilst crying. I moved over to Elena and hugged her with tears in my eyes. This reminded us to lose our parents all over again.
A little while later, Matt followed us home. He was concerned for the both of us.
"So, how are you two holding up? All of this must bring out a lot of memories and feelings for you." I shrugged. It`s like that for all of us. You`ve lost someone to." Elena said. I just nodded.
"We don`t deserve this. None of us does." I said wiping a tear from my eye. Elena took my hand and squeezed it.
"No, no one deserves losing someone they love and care about. We got inside and I went through the house to get upstairs. Elena and Matt went in to the kitchen to get flashlights. The power were out again. When I got to the stairs, I saw blood. A lot of blood.
"Elena! Matt! Come here quick!" Together we walked upstairs. We found Alaric against the wall.
"Oh my god! Ric!" I rushed over to him as Elena did. She tried to pull the knife out but then Ric made an antagonizing sound. It made me jump back.
"Leave it. He lost too much blood. I`ll call 911." Matt dialed his phone and I just sat there. I think I was in shock. I didn`t know what was going on before Elena drove another knife in Alaric`s heart.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screamed.
"He asked me to. We don`t know it if the person that did this is supernatural. He had his ring. He will come back to life. I`m the doppelgänger, remember?" Ok. That`s right.
"But let me remind you what happened the last time. When that car hit him. It didn`t work right." I reminded them.
"I`ll call 911 when he wakes up."
It took an hour before Alaric woke up and I called the paramedics. How could all of this had happen so quickly? Just this morning, I woke up in Denver with my brother. Now everything was back to chaos. That`s life in Mystic Falls I guess.
So. I couldn`t bring myself to keep Amy away from Mystic Falls for long. It was to heartbreaking writing. I felt that I got just as depressed like her. It`s good to have her back :) And the next chapter is the ball :D and Amy will see Klaus for the first time and meet the other Originals. Which one of the brothers would she get a friendly relationship with? Which one of them fits her personality?
Until next time!
*cathrineoriginal*
*Sleiwd: I`m so sorry! It broke my heart too. It was hard to write it and I couldn`t keep her away for that long. I`m not sure when Klaus and Amy will fix things between them but all i know is that she needs time. So just keep on reading and we`ll figure it out :)
*Guest: I really don`t know what is going to happen just yet. I won`t bring in Caroline in the mix. I don`t know about Hayley yet. If she would even have a part at all in this fiction. So for now it`s strictly just Amy/Klaus. :)
*natazwe: Thank you! It is so nice to see that you enjoy this story :)
