After you spent what seemed like ages crying in Charlies arms you finally seemed to pull yourself together, or at least enough for right now. You pulled away from her taking a few deep breathes and then moving the wet hair that had gotten stuck to your face.

"We need to go see Jeremy," you finally blurted out your breath still shaky from your break down.

"K I think you need to go home and.."

"No, I need to see Jeremy. He just saw me kill his girlfriend I at least need to explain why," you nodded convincing yourself that was the reason. It really was to see if he hated you.

"You do know Elena's probably gonna have one of us compell him again right?" She asked softly, like you were a fragile butterfly.

"I'm counting on it," you replied ending the conversation.


You pulled up at the Gilbert's and immediately went inside, coming of course face to face with Elena. "Elena if you tell me I can't be friends with him again right now, I will quite literally rip your head off," your eyes flashed yellow at her as she opened her mouth to say something but thought twice.

You climbed the stairs with Charlie and came into his room and he was sitting on his bed clutching his pillow to his chest with his knees. To his left sitting at his desk was Megan. As you two began walking in you could see the wet marks on his pillow and on his cheeks and your heart broke more if that was possible at this point.

Megan noticed you two before Jeremy did and her face made you want to punch her. Just like Elena she opened her mouth to say something but this time Charlie snapped at her, "Megan I swear to god if you say even one snarky remark right now I will snap your neck. I get you don't like me, my brothers, or Kaylee right now. We fucking get it. Thank you for making it so blatantly obvious for us. But enough with the rude petty bitch act. I'm sick of it, i'm sure we all are at this point. I get hating me, do you think I wished to become a vampire? No. There's a reason I tried to stay out of all of it and keep Kaylee out of it all. But guess what? Shit happens. But your supposed best friends needed you tonight and need you now. So grow the fuck up or get out."

All 3 of you looked at Charlie normally if someone talked to Megan like that, there would be a fight that you like always would have to finish. Megan was a lot of bark with very little bite. But this time it was different, you could see the tears building up in her eyes and you two sat on his bed next to him.

"Jer," you said gently moving so you could see his eyes.

"Do you understand what happened tonight?"

"I... I don't understand I mean I know what I saw. But I don't understand what it was," you could see the brokenness in his eyes. The one he always tried to hide from you and the rest of the world. But it was always there, and it made you feel horrible.

"Jer, Vicki was a vampire. And she was gonna kill all 4 of us. If i didn't do what i did to stop her."

"And now shes read, Vicki's dead. You... you stabbed her," he looked back down to the pillow.

"Jer please, theres so much about this world you don't know. Even more about this town. I did what I had to do to keep you save. She was gonna kill your sister. And I know you hate her right now but I know one day you won't. I'm sorry.."

You tried to wrap your arms around him but he pushed them away. "Make it stop it hurts," he whimpered.

"Shhh. It's okay," you sat next to him and he leaned on your shoulder his tears dripping on to your sweater. "Why does everybody have to die on me?" he asked not really looking for an answer. He turned pulling you into his arms and he cried even harder tangling his hands in your hair. "I'm gonna go talk to Stefan okay? I'll be right back," you rubbing his back before looking to Charlie and Megan and they followed.


You could feel the tears building in your eyes again it burned. But you made your way back downstairs and found Elena and Stefan sitting on the porch swing. He looked over at you and you could tell it was hurting him seeing you upset as well. You walked closer realizing Elena's wounds had healed, Stefan must have healed him with his blood when they got home.

They got up walking over to the 3 of you, "are you okay?" you asked meeting his hazel eyes. It was so strange him and Damon had such different eye colors and Charlies were like a perfect mix of both of theirs.

"I wanted to help her, but instead it ended the way I knew it would. I'm sorry you had to do what you did," he offered a sympathetic smile.

"uh, how's he doing?"

"He's a mess. I didn't want him to go through this again," you took the blanket charlie was wrapping around you smiling back at her. The tears dripped out of your eyes again, "What can i do K? Ill do anything."

"Can you make him forget?" Elena asked it hurt you seeing her eyes glassy again too.

"My powers aren't strong enough.." he shook his head. "I can try but there's no absolute guarantee that it will work," Charlie offered. "Please, I don't know how he will ever get passed this, I just want him to forget everything that's happened," you took Stefan's hand, "Please."

"I can do it," you all turned and saw Damon and honestly you couldn't help but smile. "If this is what you guys want," he walked closer and Elena's face contorted into disgust. You wanted to hate him, but you couldn't. "I'll do it," he stopped in front of you guys raising his eyebrows once before looking down. Elena looked at him than back at Stefan, "it's what we want," she nodded.

"What would you like him to know?" he asked his gaze growing dark on her. She looked at him for a moment like she wanted to kill him. That he was the last person on earth she wanted to do this. It was funny how you guys were on the complete opposite sides of the spectrum. He was a good guy deep down, but for whatever reason only let you see that. You stepped in front of him looking deep into those ice blue eyes, : I wan't you to tell him that Vicki left town. And she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her but he knows its for the best," your voice cracked a little getting that last sentence out. He nodded before his eyes flickered to Stefan's and then headed inside up to Jeremy's room, Stefan, Elena, and Megan followed.

You sat down on the swing and charlie sat next to you, "I'm not gonna lie, part of me wishes I could forget too. Forget meeting you guys... again. Finding out what you guys are... again. And everything that's happened since," your eyes stung from all the tears as you kept your eyes on the street. "I know," she took your hand. "Get some rest okay? I'll check on you guys tomorrow," she kissed your forehead and you closed your eyes. And when you opened them she was gone.


You sat on the porch for awhile curled up in the blanket, not even looking up when you heard someone step out of the house again. You listened to their footsteps till the person sat down next to you lifting your legs slightly first before covering theirs with yours.

"Things shouldn't be like this Kaylee," it was Megan. This was the first time you guys were talking in what seemed like forever. "It scares me. Seeing Charlie, Stefan and Damon like that. It shook me to my core. But what I did to you was unfair. What I did to them is unfair. I know they didn't ask for this and I know you didn't either. But it's hard. It's hard keeping this secret its hard to not want to be compelled back to not knowing. But i'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like a bitch and I shouldn't have acted like our friends had to chose sides," you knew she wasn't lying. Cause just like her older counter part, they didn't apologize and when they did you knew it was serious and heartfelt. You leaned up and looked at her knowing she had been crying too. You wrapped your arms around her, "I love you Megs," You squeezed her tighter. "I love you too," she rubbed small circles in your back just like when you were kids when she knew you were upset. You let her go, "I know it's hard. But we'll get through this together I promise okay?" She nodded, "I'm gonna crash on the couch. I'll see you in the morning okay?" and you nodded watching her stride back into the house.

You sat up and watched Damon come out and he just nodded once and came over to you sitting next to you and wrapping an arm around your shoulders. And you laid your head on his shoulder. "It's gonna be okay K," he rubbed your arm. It always seemed to make you feel at least a tiny bit better being in his arms. "How can it be?" you looked at him "I killed her Damon. I took her life away from her. I hurt Jeremy," he brushed a stray curl out of your face. "You did the right thing beautiful, and if it makes you feel better she was technically already dead," he smiled at you and you couldn't help but smile back. "You're an ass," you leaned your head back down on his shoulder and let yourself finally after all the events wrapped into one night finally came to a close.
