The Mute Lockwood
Chapter 38
A/N: now this chapter is a short chapter as I explain at the end, I didn't want it to be long and Denver only in one chapter as that would be rushed and pointless. Although now I split it up it means you only have one chapter left then in the next chapter Kol comes in! I love reading your reviews and if you go back and check the previous chapter, I changed it as someone told me that Originals can't compel werewolves I just thought that werewolves were on vervain although I read that werewolves have vervain salvia. Therefore I do again apologise, and I have changed it with Klaus threatening her loved ones. OK moving on, hope you all like this chapter, this one and the next one aren't my best but they are a need to get Kol in it. Sorry for any mistakes.

The Ties That Bind
"Lunch money?" Claire asked. Jessie shook her head, "Nope, I'm good. Thanks, Claire." Jessie said then drunk her hot chocolate while Jeremy came down the stairs rubbing his eyes and he took the lunch money from Claire and made himself some coffee.
"Ok, need anything else before I head to work? Roy is working until 2, so he'll be home before you lot get back from school. I'll be back after my shift at the hospital which will be about 9. Need a lift to school?" Claire asked. Jessie and Jeremy shook their heads at her, "No thanks, Claire. We'll walk." Jeremy smiled and kissed Claire's cheek, Jessie did the same before grabbing her bag and waved to Claire, "Bye Claire, and again thank you for letting me stay." Jessie smiled. Claire waved her off, "Oh honey it's fine, honestly. Have fun at school you two." Claire grinned before Jessie and Jeremy both left the house and began their walk to school.
Jeremy looked at Jessie, "so how are you coping? The full moon is in like a week." Jeremy said. They have been at Denver for nearly a week now.
Jessie looked back at him and shrugged, "it's going to be ok. I think Ty will come up and help me, or I'll go back to Mystic Falls and get like Damon to help me out." Jessie replied and Jeremy nodded his head before they carried on walking seeing people who were walking to school as well.
"First normal school day… like ever." Jessie muttered as they walked past the school gate. Jeremy laughed and nodded his head, "Oh yeah. How long do you think it will take until we get involved in some drama?" Jeremy asked. Jessie smirked at her best friend, "give or take a few days." Jessie replied and Jeremy high five Jessie before they walked into the school office to collect their schedules. Since Jeremy was a junior and Jessie was a sophomore they had barely any classes together but Jessie was quite smart so she got put into Jeremy's calculus class also his chemistry class.
Jeremy helped Jessie find her locker and get her books in there before they went to Jeremy's locker ignoring the whispers about the new kids, "huh I remember being the one to whisper about the new kid, never thought people would whisper about me being the new kid." Jeremy mumbled. Jessie shoved him playfully before they headed to their first class, Jessie's was history and Jeremy's was English. "Meet you at the cafeteria at lunch, ok Jessie?" Jeremy asked. Jessie nodded her head and went into her class and gave the note from the office to the teacher then sat down near the back by the window while Mrs Clarkson took role call.
"Ok students, today we have a new student to the class Jessica Lockwood. Please stand up and tell us something about you," The elder women said, Jessie looked at the class nervously and stood up, "Hi. I'm Jessie Lockwood and I moved here from Mystic Falls," Jessie mumbled then sat back down and hid her red face with her bronze curls. The class chuckled quietly while Mrs Clarkson started to talk about the civil war. Jessie was only paying half attention, she knew everything about history it was one of her favourite subjects but Mrs Clarkson didn't exactly keep her attention and wasn't enthusiastic like Alaric was which made her feel even more homesick. She even missed Klaus for crying out loud, what she was give to be back in all the drama of Mystic Falls where her family and friends, enemies where it was her home.
At lunch Jessie was quick to find Jeremy and saw that he had already made friends, unlike her. Great. Jessie went over to Jeremy and smiled at him softly, he frowned at her slightly, "What's wrong?" He asked concerned. Jessie shook her head and looked at his friends, "who are they?" she asked him quietly.
"Oh guys, this is my best friend Jessie. She moved to Denver with me, just like I was telling you lot. Jessie, this is Craig and Amber." Jeremy introduced. Craig was a very cute guy, he had black cropped hair with deep blue eyes, he was tall and was buff then Amber had dyed purple hair with thick gothic make-up, she was the schools goth basically. They all waved to Jessie and Amber grinned at her, "OMG your hair is just gorgeous! I love curly hair!" Amber squealed. Craig laughed and wrapped an arm around Amber, "Yeah sorry about my girlfriend, she gets a bit hyped. Nice to meet you, Jessie." Craig said. Jessie smiled and nodded her head, "yeah you too. It's fine and I totally love your hair as well, Amber. I have always wanted to dye mine, bronze is just so boring." Jessie grinned at the girl. Amber grinned again, while Jeremy rolled his eyes, "boring." He sang and Jessie smacked his chest while Amber frowned at him, "yeah man." Craig laughed and Amber glared at him but he just chuckled and kissed her nose before looking around the cafeteria, "hey why don't we go hang out outside?" Craig asked and Jeremy and Jessie both nodded their heads before Amber walked with Jessie and the two girls talked about hair colours and what colour would suit Jessie is she were to dye it. Amber kept saying that her hair was gorgeous and that she shouldn't dye it but Jessie found her hair boring and loved Amber's hair more.
"Girls," Craig laughed and Jeremy joined in before they went towards the shed at the back of the school where no teachers would come. A few other students hung out there it was the stoner den. Jessie and Jeremy shared a looked but carried on following their new friends, "guys meet Jessie and Jeremy, they are new from Mystic Falls. Hey Tom give them a smoke, would ya?" Craig asked and a guy with black hair nodded his face and went over to Jessie and gave her a cheeky wink, "here you go sweetheart," he stroked her face but Jeremy stood near her giving him a look, "hey don't touch her man." Jeremy warned and Tom backed off, "hey dude I don't swing that way." Tom held his hands up in defence and Jessie and Jeremy looked at each tother before saying, "ohhh," together in sync.
Jessie looked at the cigarette and put it in her mouth and Tom lit it up for Jessie, she breathed it in and coughed as soon as she did they all laughed at her and Jeremy gave her a grin while she rolled her eyes, "I'm new at this." Jessie defended herself and tried again, she coughed but it wasn't as bad as the first time. Jessie went and sat down next to Amber where she was drinking vodka out of the bottle, "hey girl! First time smoking right?" Amber asked and Jessie nodded her head and took another smoke and coughed again but she was getting use to it, "don't worry, you'll get use to it seems like your friend Jeremy is use to it. He use to smoke before?" Amber asked nodding to Jeremy who was talking to a few guys. Jessie nodded her head, "yeah in his emo phase." Jessie said and giggled suddenly.
Amber grinned and offered her some vodka, Jessie shrugged what harm can it do? Jessie took the bottle and gave Amber the cigarette before drinking from the bottle and laughed again. This was going to be an interesting first day.
"How was your first day?" Roy asked as soon as Jessie and Jeremy got back home. Jessie grabbed her head in hope that her headache will stop, Jeremy chuckled quietly, "it was great! Jessie has a bit of a headache though." Jeremy shouted and Jessie flipped Jeremy off while Roy came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of coffee. "Oh, really? Well you do look a little rough. Go take a little nap and Jeremy will take up some aspirin," Roy said. Jessie nodded her head and gave him a small smile before going upstairs slowly and went into her bedroom and just laid on her bed holding her head.
Jeremy came in a few minutes later with a glass of water and some aspirin, "hey Jessie. Come on, take this." He cooed. Jessie flipped him off again and he laughed at her but Jessie sat up and took the tablets and drunk the water. "You are such a lightweight, it's unbelievable." Jeremy chuckled quietly and Jessie gave him a sloppy grin before leaning against him and closing her eyes, he chuckled again, "ok I won't tell anyone what happened if you don't." Jessie gave him a sloppy thumbs up before her cell phone began to ring. Jeremy picked it up, "hello?" He asked the caller.
"Oh hey Caroline, yeah Jessie is here." Jeremy said and held the phone out to Jessie who glared at him.
"Hey Care." Jessie said tiredly while Jeremy left her bedroom.
"Hey Jessie, you ok? You sound like you're hangover." Caroline said.
Jessie gulped. "Yeah I'm fine, just got a headache. Feel a little homesick that's all. So what's up?"
"Ah ok. Tyler has got my dad involved in helping him break the sire bond, and he has to turn!" Caroline groaned.
"Oh… wait so just turning once will help him be you know… him again? Well that's simple." Jessie said confused and sat up in her bed comfortably.
"No… not just once… he has to turn until it doesn't hurt anymore, Jessie." Caroline said softly. Jessie froze then answered.
"Oh my god… well that's going to take a long time. Hey do you know if Tyler is coming up to Denver to help me with the full moon?" Jessie asked and fiddled with her pillow.
"He said that you should come back to Mystic Falls for the full moon, so he can help you out here. He will help you out if he doesn't then it will either be me or Damon. You can bite Damon, no one will miss him." Caroline said nonchalantly.
Jessie laughed, "Care be nice about Damon you know that he is one of my best friends."
Caroline groaned. "I know that Jessie but it's Damon! He's repulsive! How could you have been best friends with him?"
Jessie giggled feeling a bit better, "I am still best friends with him Caroline. He wasn't always like this, you just see the bad in him. There is good, trust me."
Caroline rolled her eyes. "Yes and I will believe that when pigs will fly. So how was your first day at school? Any cute boys?"
Jessie grinned. "It was good. Made a few friends and they are really nice. Yes there are Caroline but you know how I feel about them now…"
"Yeah, yeah I know you're waiting for your old lover to be un-daggered I've got ya. What friends? What are they like?" Caroline asked interested.
"They are really nice. There is this guy called Craig, he's hot he has this whole bad thing going about him but he is a compete sweetheart unlike most bad boys, his girlfriend Amber is such a lovely girl. She's got this whole gothic thing going on and I love her hair, she's dyed it a really nice purple. Then there's this gay guy, Tom, and a few others. We all hung out together at lunch and I have art with Amber and gym with Craig and Tom." Jessie replied feeling a whole lot more better now that she was speaking to Caroline.
"They sound nice. They aren't stoner kids right?" Caroline asked.
Jessie froze. "Erm… nope?" She lied.
"Jessie you really are a terrible liar they so are aren't they! Please tell me that you are still innocent and haven't smoked any?" Caroline pleaded. Jessie bit her lip.
"Erm…" She trailed.
"Oh god. That's why you sound hangover. You are so lucky that I'm giving you a second chance, don't do it anymore otherwise I'll tell Tyler." Caroline warned.
Jessie gulped again. "Ok sure! Hey Care I've got homework to do, tell Tyler that I love him ok?" Jessie asked.
"Of course I will. I'll call you tomorrow, bye Jessie." Caroline said before Jessie hung up on her.
Jessie sighed and ran a hand through her hair before getting her spanish homework out and completed the exercises before doing her calculus homework then she put her stuff in her bag before getting off her bed and put on the music from her iPod which blasted out of her speakers then grabbed her computer and checked her emails and sent a quick email to her mom telling her about her first day minus the drugs and alcohol before she got a Skype call from Damon.
Jessie answered it and groaned and seeing his face, "get your ugly face off my computer." Jessie joked, Damon stuck his tongue out at her before saying, "Oh shut up. Hey JJ, how are you?" He asked casually. Jessie raised an eyebrow at him confused, "ok what's going on?" Jessie asked him confused.
Damon shrugged, "nothing. Just that Doctor Fell vervained me then stole my blood. I mean how rude is that?" Damon asked annoyed.
Jessie laughed and rolled her eyes, "I'm guess that you deserved it, Damon."
Damon frowned at her, "oh shut up. So how was your first day?" He asked.
Jessie shrugged, "so, so. You been into any trouble while I've been gone?" Jessie asked smirking slightly.
Damon returned the smirk, "of course. Klaus still wants his coffins back but we still have them as we're cool like that. Oh yeah and I kissed Elena."
Jessie didn't even gasp she just got her phone out and called Alaric, "what are you doing?" Damon asked through her computer confused. Jessie held her finger out before speaking to Alaric.
"Hey Ric it's Jessie, you know what we said that happened between Elena and Damon at the party? Yeah it's true." Jessie said. Damon rolled his eyes and flipped her off.
"I knew it! Ok I need to speak with Doctor Fell, don't get into any trouble in Denver, Jessie." Then he hung up.
Jessie smirked at Damon and threw her phone onto her bed, "so where is Elena?" Jessie asked confused.
"She's gone with Bonnie to find Bonnie's mom so they can help open the coffin." Damon explained. Jessie frowned, "wait the mom that abandoned her?" Damon nodded.
Jessie carried on frowning, "oh… what about Stefan?" Jessie asked.
Damon shrugged, "no idea where my baby bro is."
Jessie looked at him smirking, "he's probably threatening to drive someone else off Wickery bridge." She said dryly and Damon frowned.
"Yeah he told me about that, don't worry I punched him. How have you been since then?" Damon asked.
Jessie shrugged, "I've been normal."
"Jessie! Pizza is downstairs!" Jeremy shouted from downstairs. Jessie looked at the time and saw that it was gone 9, "wow. Hey D I've got to go, dinner. I'll talk to you later, love you." Jessie said.
"Yeah sure, love you too JJ. Be good." He said then they ended the video call.
Jessie turned off her computer and went downstairs and got her pizza, "feeling better?" Roy asked her.
Jessie nodded her head, "what happened?" Claire asked confused.
"I had a headache earlier but now I feel much better. Thanks for dinner." Jessie smiled and ate her pizza before finishing it then drunk her soda and headed off to bed, "I'm going to sleep. Night guys," Jessie said and they all said night back before Jessie left and went back to her bedroom.
