Chapter 28

Kai : Stop pacing, you're making me dizzy.

Jo : Sorry, I'm just so nervous !

Kai : Me too he got up and poured himself some coffee

Jo : You don't seem nervous to me.

Kai : he smiled Nothing can drag me down today.

She was sure she never saw him happier than right now. Bonnie was a good

thing for him after all. She liked the young woman but the age difference made

her think it wouldn't last long. She was probably wrong. At least she hoped so.

Kai : Just relax. Or you could call Alaric to relax you.

Jo : her cheeks got pink I'm not sharing this with you.

Kai : Oh so it did happen.

Jo : I'm going to check if Luke's here yet she left the relaxation lounge


Hospital entrance

Luke went in and looked around. This place was so big and they didn't agree on

a meeting spot. He noticed a tall brunette walking down an hallway. She

changed in the last eighteen years but he still recognized her. His oldest sister.

Luke : Jo ?

Jo : she walked towards him and smiled That's me.

Luke : I'm so happy to see you.

Jo : Me too.

They hugged.

Jo : Let me look at you. When we left, you were just a little boy.

Luke : I hope I'm like you imagined.

Jo : she smiled Of course. C'mon, Kai wants to see you too.

Luke : Yeah.


They went to the relaxation lounge.

Kai : Hey, big guy.

Luke : Long time no see.

Kai : So, what do we do ? Handshake or manly hug ?

Luke : Personally I'm a hugger.

They smiled and hugged. After that they sat down and caught up for all the

years they spent apart.

Luke : I'm sure you want to know about Dad and the merge.

Kai : We do actually.

Luke : He's still up for that business but I really don't want to merge with Liv.

Jo : We'll help you.


Two weeks later

Elena grabbed the bag and left her car. She locked it and walked towards the

building. The sun was already setting. She went inside and took the stairs. She

started to look for the good number. He told her it was 258. She found it and

knocked on the door.

Jeremy : he opened and smiled Hey, Lena.

Gosh he looks hot, she thought.

Jeremy : Come in.

Elena : Nice haircut.

Jeremy : Thanks he closed the door behind her

Elena : You exagerated. Your room is not that small.

Jeremy : True but it's not like home.

Elena : I brought a little something she opened the bag and revealed a bottle of alcohol

Jeremy : I like your thinking.

She kicked off her shoes and layed on the bed. He joined her.

Elena : To your new life she opened the bottle and took a sip

Jeremy : Yeah he grabbed the bottle

Elena : How do you feel ? I mean since Bonnie broke up with you.

Jeremy : I try not to think about it he took a sip

Elena : Sorry, bad topic.

Jeremy : What's bringing you here ?

Elena : I had a fight with Damon.

Jeremy : I see. Want to talk about it ?

Elena : Nope she grabbed the bottle and took a long sip

Jeremy : Good.

Elena : You don't like him much, do you ?

Jeremy : I think he has a terrible influence on you.

They remained silent for a few minutes.

Jeremy : Do you ever wonder how things would have been if Mom and Dad never adopted you ?

Elena : Sometimes. Maybe I wouldn't have been caught in the supernatural drama of Mystic Falls.

Jeremy : Yeah.

Maybe I would have meet you in a different way, he thought.

Elena : Or I would have been drawn to it anyway.

Jeremy : almost for himself Sometimes I have that thought...

Elena : What ?

Jeremy : Nothing.

Elena : she closed the bottle and put it on the floor Tell me.

Jeremy : I said it was nothing.

Elena : Jer ?

He took a deep breath and looked at her. She saw something in his eyes that

made her feel naked. He leaned in and kissed her lips.
