"Stefan!" I called out as Damon opened the door. I smiled as he jogged down the stairs, a grumpy looking Elena following him. I was so ecstatic that the roll of her eyes as her eyes zeroed in on Damon and mine's clasped hands.

"Sup?" I grabbed the pictures of the ultrasound from my purse and shoved them into Stefan's hands. His eyes scanned the pictures, a smile tugging up at the corner of his mouth.

"So, did you guys find out what you're having?" He asked. I squealed and wrapped my arms around Damon's waist.

"A girl, we're having a girl." Damon kissed my forehead as he informed Stefan and Elena. Stefan laughed and congratulated us. He hugged me and shook hands with Damon. I looked at Elena, who's eyes were glued to the floor and her arms wrapped across her chest.

"Elena?" I asked as Stefan released me. Her eyes flashed to mine, the softness they usually hold gone. She sneered at me and took a step away from me.

"What? You want me to congratulate you on a baby that's half monster? You want me to congratulate you on a baby you're having at the age of 17? What would mom and dad say, huh? Would they be excited? Woo, you're having a baby girl. Congratulations, Hayley. I'm ecstatic." She said sarcastically as she stepped around me and stormed out of the door. Every word she said was a dagger to my heart. I couldn't believe she was acting this way when she had done nothing to support me from the start. Anger rose within me as I shoved Damon and Stefan out of my way. She was walking to her car, keys in her hands.

"What's your deal?" I shouted as I walked towards her. She froze and turned around slowly, her face twisted into one of disdain.

"My deal, Hayley? My deal? I'll tell you what my deal is. All my life I've watched as you walked around town, thinking there were no consequences to your actions. You got in trouble at school, you sneaked out, you got drunk, you sleep with people at parties, and now you're pregnant. With Damon, no less. So, you're my deal. I've been cleaning up your messes and I'm tired of it."

My jaw hit the floor. Who was she to talk?

"Who had to cover for you whenever you wanted to go to Matt's just so you guys could get hot and heavy when his sister wasn't home? Who covered for you when you would miss cheerleading practice to go sneak some drinks with Matt, who was also missing football practice. Who covered for you the night Mom and Dad died, when you just HAD to go to that party, I wouldn't understand because I don't have boyfriend and friends and a reputation I had to keep up with. Word for word I'll replay what you said to me that night." I took a deep breath and clenched my fists, the memory of her words coming to my memory.

"'You're just a book worm Hayley, no one will miss you at the party. I mean, Ella practically had to beg you to join cheerleading freshman year, and you can't even stick to that. So if you could just tell Mom and Dad that I don't feel good and that I've locked myself in my room, I'd really appreciate it. You don't mind, right?" I wiped away the tears running down my face.

"No, I didn't mind, because I was the twin that no one cared about, right? The one that did nothing but sit in her room and read her books. The one that would sneak out to sit on the roof and watch the stars. According to you, I can't even sneak out right. I go drunk a few times at a couple parties I got dragged to, so how dare you hold that against me. And really, you're going to pull our the Tyler card? Honestly, you're pathetic Elena. You say you've cleaned up my messes, but you have no idea what it's like to be me. To be the mediocre Gilbert, with no talent, no ambitions, and no future. That's what you were telling everybody last year, right? Shut up, don't deny it, I heard the rumors. Hell, they're still circulating this year." Elena's eyes were shining with tears, the hardness of her face no longer there. At that moment, I could no longer handle the build up inside of me. The stress of the pregnancy, my powers, Ella, my parents, those stupid dreams. I couldn't take it anymore.

"I hate you." The ground rumbled and split a crack from me to Elena, who's tears ad fallen over her cheeks and down her face. She scoffed.

"You don't mean that."

"Yes, yes I do. I think I've meant it for a while." I turned from her, pushing down the magic and rage swirling inside of me. I walked over to my car and slammed the door behind me. I looked up to see Damon running towards the car. I fired up the ignition, backed out, and drove away. My phone rang in my purse and I didn't have to look down to see that it was Damon.

"Look, Damon, I need to be alone."

"Hayley, just calm down. Come back, we can-"

"NO! Damon, I'm leaving, alright? Just...please give me some time."

"I love you, though." He whispered. I felt guilty, but I knew I needed time. Everything was moving so fast and I couldn't handle it all. It revolved around in my head and it couldn't settle, because it wasn't right.

"I love you too, but this is all going way to fast and I want, no I need time by myself. Please, Damon, you have to understand-"He scoffed.

"Moving too fast? We both know that's bullshit. Hayley, we need each other, right now more than ever. Please just come-" I pressed the end button and threw the phone behind me. I pulled in my drive way and flung open the door, not even bothering to turn the car off.

"Hayley, what's going on?" Jenna asked as she came out of the kitchen. I ignored her as I ran up the stairs to my room. I found a suitcase under my bed and started throwing any of the clothes I could find. I stuffed my box of cash in there and threw a picture of my parents and Ella. I zipped it up and closed my eyes, gathering my thoughts. Where would I go? I didn't have enough money to rent something. I didn't have family in other parts of the Virginia that I could contact. Jenna was the only family we had. Two words flashed in my brain.

Nashville, Tennessee.

Might as well see what these dreams were all about, and if I could find any connection with it.

So how about that!? I know, I know, I'm horrible for doing that, but the story has to go somewhere and things were just going too good for Hayley. I'm sorry, but sorrow is what helps a person grow, and Hayley needs some of that right now. I mean, she's about to be a mother. So review and tell me how much you hate me/love the story or vice versa, whatever suits your fancy. I'll try to get another chapter up, seeing as I'm on spring break:)
