I do not own "The Vampire Diaries", only my OC.

*cathrineoriginal*

The morning sun peaked through the curtains, and I opened my eyes slowly, trying to understand what's going on.

I looked to my left, and saw Mason sleeping soundly. I was falling in love with this man, but I was afraid that everything we've been through, would just disappear.

I had been staying at the Lockwood's for a few weeks now. Six weeks to be exact. I went to school, and made it to my appointments with my new therapist. Him, I didn't like. I barely talked to Aunt Jenna and Elena, but I got Jeremy to pack some things for me, and bring them to me. He didn't like that I was staying there but he understood and because of that, he stayed at the Lockwood`s as well at times. Caroline had been asking all this time about me sleeping with Tyler but I still stood my ground and told her that I wasn't sleeping with him. It didn't occur to her that Mason and I could be an item. Even though we really weren't. I didn't know what we were really.

I woke up on a Thursday morning, a little disorientated and very warm. What the hell happened last night? Oh yeah. I had another fight with Jenna yet again, and left the house in a rage. I froze a little when I felt strong arms wrap around me. Mason snuggled against me in his sleep and I couldn't help but think about the escapades we did last night. Despite everything, I was glad I had him to warm me up at night. He made me feel safe and sane.

I couldn't help myself, and moved under the covers. Mason was still asleep, and didn't notice my movements. I slowly moved down his body until his morning wood almost poked me in the face. I slowly and carefully wrapped my tiny hands around it, before wrapping my lips around the tip of his manhood. I smirked, and engulfed his entire length, wanting to show my worth.

I could feel Mason stir, and wrapping his hand in my hair, bringing me closer to him. As I licked my way down his length, he moaned loudly, making me feel proud.

"Holy shit! Feels so good, baby!" He exclaimed, and I worked my mouth and hands faster down his length. Within minutes, he came undone in my mouth. It felt empowering to know that I just pleasured my boyfriend.

"Good morning." He said sleepily.

"Good morning." I told him and kissed him slowly.

"I have to say. Not the worst way to wake up." He said caressing my face and it made me smile.

"I have to tell you, I've had worse mornings." I laughed a little and kissed him again. I realized I could have stayed here all day but then I started to panic. I had a therapist appointment at nine. I turned around quickly and looked at the clock. 8.15.

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed and got out of Mason's arms. I ran around the room like a maniac. A naked maniac at that.

"What's going on?" Mason asked me.

"I's late! I have a doctor's appointment at 9 and then I have school." I told him. Mason only laid in bed looking at me amused.

"You're not helping you know" I almost growled at him.

"Sorry. I can't help it." I was dressed in a hurry, and tried to get control over my tangled mess of hair.

"I give up." I mumbled to myself before returning to bed to kiss Mason goodbye.

"I wish you could stay." He told me.

"I know. I just need to get an education first." I said as I tried to get up but Mason held me back and I didn't want to argue.

"Ok. Five more minutes." I said in defeat.

"Good girl." Mason whispered before kissing me deeply. I was sure of getting late to my appointment but then someone came barging in the room.

"Hey, Sarah. Do you need a ride…" Tyler stopped when he saw us, and shut the door as quickly as he could.

"Oh! Sorry! I was just saying that I could drive you to the doctor but we need to leave now." Tyler said through the door.

"Uh yeah. I'll catch up in two minutes!" I yelled back before turning to Mason.

"That's my cue to leave and besides. You have so much more to look forward to later." I whispered in his ear before I left.

Tyler were waiting for me down stairs.

"No school for you today?" I asked.

"No. There's no school at all for anyone. It's the Historical Society Volunteer Day picnic today so everyone is helping out there." Tyler told me.

"You must be kidding me, right? What's up with this school thing in this town?" I exclaimed.

"Pretty screwed up or should I say, screwed like you were last night." Tyler said as he started the car. It made me blush.

"You heard that?" I asked quietly.

"Sarah. I think the whole town heard. I'm just glad my mom wasn't home." I punched him lightly on the shoulder.

"How are you holding up after knowing about how to trigger the curse?" I asked and I could see Tyler get lost in the memory of how when we both where told the story of how Mason turned.

Flashback

Florida one year ago.

Mason was finishing up his drink at one of the bars he usually hangs out in and throwing money on the table before leaving. What he didn`t see was the look he got from one of his friends. It looked murderous.

When he got outside, someone pushed him in the back.

"Whoa Jimmy easy. Let's get you home." Mason told him.

"Screw you! I know about you and Marla." Jimmy said and shoved him again.

"What are you talking about? You've had too much to drink…" Mason started but Jimmy kept attacking him.

"Dude. It's Mason. You know me. I'm not fooling around with Marla, you know that." Jimmy didn't listen and kept on punching him and making Mason angrier by the second. Jimmy knocked him to the ground, punching him even more. When Mason finally got back up, he threw Jimmy down to the ground hard. The man hit his head and Mason could see blood pouring from the back of his head. Mason started to panic and tried with all his power to wake him up.

Back to the present.

Tyler and I were listening to the story and we were shocked. Well I felt sorrier for him.

"Wait. The guy died? You killed him?" Tyler asked him.

"He kept coming at me. He had it in his head that I was sleeping with his girlfriend." Mason explained.

"Well, were you?"

"No, no. I wouldn't do that. He was my friend. He was drunk and attacked me, it was self-defense." Mason said and looked over at me. Out of all people, he wanted me to understand.

"And you triggered the curse." I stated.

"On every full moon, I lose control. If I don't sedate myself down, I`ll kill anything in my path. You have to be careful Tyler. All it takes is an accident, a car wreck, anything. If you have a death at your hands, you've got a lifetime of this. You don't want it, trust me." Mason said and I felt really bad for the both of them but it wasn't a reason for me to get scared of them.

Back in the car with Tyler, he looked a little tired.

"I've been well but Uncle Mason was right. After I found out, I`ve not been able to think about anything else." Tyler told me and I grabbed his hand.

"It'll be ok. I'm here to help you." I told him.

"So, are you excited about the picnic today?" Tyler asked me.

"Ugh. No. I don't want to go." I said as I looked out the window.

"Why?"

"Because my entire family will be there and I don't want to meet them." I told him.

"Mason will be there." Tyler said, trying to lighten my mood.

"Yeah I know but what good will that do me? I can't exactly show myself with him." I said.

"Why? He is your boyfriend. You shouldn't care what everybody else think." Tyler told me.

"What am I supposed to do Tyler? Just say 'screw' you guys, I'm happy?" I asked.

"Yes. That's exactly what you should do." Tyler said.

"Screw them Sarah. This is your life. Live it." I smiled a little at him before jumping out of the car.

"Yeah, I'll try." I said before locking the door. I looked up at the therapist's office and I was not looking forward to this.

I walked into the waiting room and told the receptionist that I was here. It only took a few minutes before my new doctor came out to greet me.

"Ms. Sarah Gilbert! Welcome back!"

"Hey Dr. Samuel." I shook his hand and walked into his office. I tried to make myself comfortable on his gross couch and faced him.

"So, Sarah. The last time you were here, you told me a little more about your family. Have you talked to them at all in the last few days?" He asked me.

"Well, I tried to talk to them yesterday but we got into a fight yet again."

"About what?"

"About me not moving back home and they mean it's about time to forgive and forget, but I can't just forget everything and trust them again. Elena has been a little better though. It has surprised me that she hasn't told anyone about my boyfriend." I said.

"Elena is your sister?" Dr. Samuel asked.

"Well, not exactly. My parents adopted her when she was born and my uncle is her biological father. It's only Jeremy and I who have the same parents. Miranda and Grayson was my biological parents."

"I see, and have you always had a restrained relationship with Elena?"

"No, not when we were younger but when she reached her teens, I already started with my depressions and that strained our relationship even more."

"Why did you become depressed in the first place?" He asked, but then I closed up. I didn't want to talk about it. We sat in silence for a long time I didn't like this at all. I felt like all the work Dr. Smith did were on its way out the window.

"How is it going with your boyfriend?" Dr. Samuel tried.

"It's good. Or I want it to be good. Where not going out that much, because of how people in this town talks.

"Are you afraid what people will say?"

"No It just feels like because it is a secret, then no one cares and then we are good."

"So you think by going public, the talk of the town will destroy your relationship?"

"Something like that." I said. After another dreadful 20 minutes, I could finally leave and I somehow felt worse than I did before the appointment. I met Matt at the Grill and he drove me out to the picnic. He could see that I wasn't at my best.

"Hey, I take it the therapy didn't go so well today." He said.

"No, it was crap. How that man can have a practice I can't understand." I said as I rubbed my temples. Matt only laughed at me, and shook his head. He thought I was being dramatic, and maybe I am.

Third person p.o.v

Caroline watched as her mother pack up things for the picnic. This surprised Caroline.

"Are you off today?" She asked her mother.

"The Historical Society Volunteer Picnic is today. You signed me up remember?" Liz said.

"Yeah I know. I just assumed you'd bail." Caroline said crossing her arms.

"Nope, I'm spending the whole day with my daughter and I'm excited to see Sarah. I haven't seen her since she was at the hospital when you were hospitalized." Liz said.

"You're going to pretend to be a mother?" Caroline asked surprised.

"I'll bring my gun if it gets rough. Come on give me one day. I've been buried in work mode, I've barely seen you." Liz told her daughter.

"Well, be warned. I'm in a mood." Caroline said and tried to walk away.

"What were Elena doing here so late last night?" Liz asked her daughter and it made Caroline tense up.

"Elena wasn't… Yes, Elena was here. She just needed someone to talk too. She and Stefan are going through a rough patch." Caroline said

"Hey are you ok? I haven't seen Sarah around you in a long time. You were always so close now it seems like you're not even speaking to each other anymore. Did something happen between the two of you?" Liz asked.

"Yeah, just me and my big mouth." Caroline mumbled. "No everything is fine. I was with her at the Gilbert house yesterday. It was so much fun."

"Really? Then why did Carol Lockwood tell me that Sarah has been living at her house for over a month?" Liz asked and Caroline got angry.

"Then why do you ask?" She yelled and left her mother to go to the picnic by herself.

Sarah's p.o.v

Matt parked the car and I walked around a little for myself. I didn't know what I was doing there but it was good for me to be out around people. I saw Elena and Caroline talking and I didn't want to talk to them right now, so I decided to get some coffee.

"So, I really need you to talk to me now. It's been too long and I can't take it anymore." Caroline said suddenly standing next to me.

"Jesus, Caroline! Don't scare me like that." I said.

"Sorry. I just want you to forgive me for what I said at the barbecue. You know that I always know how to put my foot in my mouth." She said.

"Caroline. I'm not mad at you. I just, I need some time, but you are my best friend and I want to tell you things, and I want you around…" Caroline cut me off with a hug.

"I've missed you." Caroline said in the crook of my neck.

"I've missed you too, Care-bear." I said and patted her on the back. Caroline inhaled a breath and went ridged.

"Oh my god!" She said and looked at me wide-eyed.

"What?"

"You smell like sex. I knew you were getting some." Caroline exclaimed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said and fiddled with my cup.

"Sarah Gilbert! You are blushing. Why can't you just admit that you're seeing Tyler again." Caroline said and it made me look at her in annoyance.

"Care, for the last time. I'm not sleeping with Tyler!" I exclaimed.

"Really? And you expect me to believe that you live in the Lockwood mansion and not getting laid?"

"I'm not saying I'm not getting laid. I'm just saying that it's not Tyler." I said a little too quickly and realized that I made a mistake.

"Wait what? Then who are you…." Caroline stopped herself.

"Oh. My. God!" Caroline said.

"Caroline. Don't freak out ok." I told her but she nudged me in the arm.

"OH MY GOD! You're sleeping with Mason!" She stated.

"Ssssh. Please be quiet, and yes." I said actually relieved that she knew. "Yes, I am but please don't say anything to people. I don't want it to get complicated."

"Why?" She asked and then she saw my expression.

"You really like him, don't you? And you're afraid that when everybody knows, everyone will care and try to meddle with it." Caroline told my worst fear.

"Yes. I like the way things are right now. It's simple and it's only the two of us. Not the whole town too." I said with a sigh. Caroline hugged me.

"I can understand that you're worried but don't let this town define your relationship. If this is really something you want, then go for it. Don't be afraid to show it to others." Caroline told me.

"You really mean that?" I asked.

"Well, yeah. All though, it's a little weird that you're dating you ex's uncle." Caroline said with a laugh.

"Tell me about it." Just then Mason's truck stopped up on the hill and it made Caroline smile.

"Go. You deserve this." Caroline urged me forward. I gave her a smile and walked up the hill towards Mason. He smiled when he saw me.

"Hey. How did the therapy go?" He asked me.

"Not so good. He's no good. He doesn't understand me you know and it's exhausting." I told him honestly.

"I'm sorry sunshine. I wish there were something I could do for you." He told me as he opened the trunk of his car.

"Actually, you can. You could just put your arms around me and tell me that everything will be ok. That is something you can do for me right now." I said quietly. Mason looked at me and then he smiled.

"Come here." He said and wrapped his arms around me.

"Everything will be ok. I promise." Mason whispered in my ear and I felt safe.

"I was told to take another risk again today." I told him.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" He asked.

"To kiss my boyfriend in public." I told him and that made him look at me.

"So, I'm your boyfriend now?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"I'm afraid so." I said caressing his cheek.

"Well then. We need to do something about that risk of yours." Mason said and crashed his lips against mine. It felt so free to do so and there were no one other in the world but the both of us. I felt the kiss all down to my toes. When we finally broke apart, I was out of breath.

"Well, that was one hell of a kiss." I whispered.

"You're my girlfriend now. That's how I treat them." Mason told me.

"Oh? So you've been with so many women? Huh?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"You're so funny." I gave him one more kiss and helped him with the truck. Stefan approached us.

"Hey Stef." I said continuing with the boxes.

"Stefan, right? The other Salvatore?" Mason asked.

"The nice one." Stefan said.

"And sadly, he's right." I told Mason.

"The one offering an apology." Stefan told us.

"Not interested." Mason said and I could understand why he said so.

"My brother acted impulsively."

"You think?"

"If you and Damon go at each other's throat, someone is going to end up hurt." For some reason, Stefan looked at me when he said that and I had to admit that he had a point.

"Why don't we try to just bury the hatchet and call it a truce." Stefan tried to fix Damon's mistakes.

"You know, I tried to make the same offer to your brother but he turned it down. With a knife." Mason said, and I didn't like the look in his eyes.

"He made a mistake. I'm here to make sure that you don't make another one." Stefan told him.

"Tell your brother to watch his back." Mason said to Stefan before he tried to leave.

"Hey. Damon have only something to fear under a full moon am I right. You`re not strong or you would have killed Damon by know. But here's the deal. There's one of you and two of us. It seems like you're the one to watch your back." Stefan told him.

"If he comes at me…" Mason said.

"He won't." Stefan promised before Mason left, after kissing me possessively.

"This will turn ugly." Stefan told me.

"Yeah. I just wish Damon…" I started but then I got cut off.

"Are you wishing about me?" Damon said from behind me.

"Yes, I said and turned around. I'm wishing about doing this." I said and slapped him hard. Stefan chuckled a little.

"Don't believe for a second that you're any better." I said to him and walked away from them to find Mason.

I walked around for a little bit and then I saw him talking to Liz. It looked like they were in a heated conversation. I walked a little closer and heard him mentioning Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

"That's impossible. I know Damon Salvatore; do you know what he has done for this town?" Liz asked.

"I know that it's a lot to digest." Mason started.

"No, no, no. I watched him kill vampires. He's a part of the council." Liz defended the Salvatore brothers.

"Think about it. When did the attacks start? When the Salvatore brothers came to town." Mason told her.

"They walk in the sun Mason." Liz argued.

"They have evolved. It's not 1864 anymore. They figured it out Liz." Mason tried to reason with her.

"No. Damon Salvatore is my friend."

"What if I can prove it to you?" Mason said and looked at the brothers. I was occupied and couldn't hear the rest. When Mason walked away from Liz, I caught up with him.

"Mason. What are you doing? Do you know how dangerous this could be?" I said to him but he didn't look at me.

"I have to do this, Sarah. It's in my blood. I can't ignore this, if I don't do it, then I won't ever forgive myself if someone else gets hurt." He said as he stroked my cheek.

"Mason. Do you realize if this ends badly, they will kill you?" I told him.

"But they won't. Ok? I promise." He told me.

"You don't get it, do you? If you die, I don't know what to do. If I lost you, I don't think that I'll survive that." I whispered. Mason took grabbed my wrists and caressed my scars. He understood what I meant.

"Everything will be fine. I promise." He said and kissed me once, before leaving. I stood there without knowing what to do. This wasn't happening, why couldn't they just leave each other alone? I stood there in my own thoughts when Carol came over to me.

"Well, well. You're showing off in public now. That's kind of bold, don't you think?" Carol said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked and looked at her.

"I'm talking about you and Mason. I know his type. He thinks it's fun and game but then he gets tired of it and then he leaves. He always does. What you and he are doing back at the house where you're always welcome to stay, are up to you. But in public you have to think about it twice. It doesn't look good that he's dating a girl in high school." Carol said but it didn't look like she was being mean on purpose.

"Carol. I know you mean well but I need to do this. I can't be ashamed of this relationship and if Mason decides to leave, then so be it. I have to do what it's best for me but I can't tell him what to do or feel." I said truthfully.

"You're falling for him, aren't you?" Carol stated more than asked.

"I don't know. I think so. All I know is that I can't imagine my world without him." I told her. Carol could see I was telling the truth and she smiled at me.

"You were never like this with Tyler, and you dated for almost two years. If you're this serious about him, you have to show him that you mean it." Carol told me and gave me a hug.

I had never seen her like this before and it surprised me. I looked around for Mason but couldn't find him anywhere. Caroline came over to me.

"Hey. Do you want to help Elena and me with some painting…." Caroline could see the worried look on my face.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, it's just Mason. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen." I said.

"Between the two of you? I'm pretty sure that you guys will be ok. Judging by the way, you sucked faces earlier." Caroline nudged me.

"Yeah. Maybe you're right." I said I picked up a paintbrush. Elena joined us and Caroline started to complain about her mother.

"It's like she thinks that she's suddenly is mother of the year. Just when I'm trying to avoid her the most." Caroline told us.

"Sorry. I'm rambling. You guys don`t want to hear all this."

"Oh no, sorry. Then what happened?" Elena asked.

"Well. I was a bitch. Which seems to be the way to go for us. So how are things with you and Stefan? Anything?"

"No, not since the fight. He's been pushing me away because he thinks that Katherine might be jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind." Elena said. I knew my sister better than anyone and I could tell that she was lying but I couldn't ask her about it now. There was a reason for her to lie to one of her best friends.

"You said that Katherine is dangerous. Well maybe he's got a point." Caroline said.

"Yeah I know that she's dangerous and I know that she's just trying to protect me but it feels like giving up." Elena said.

"Well. My boyfriend thinks that he can survive anything and that's not good at all." I said with a sigh.

"What are you talking about?" Caroline asked.

"Well, he thinks that he's invincible and I'm afraid that it will turn around and bite him in the ass."

"I think that every guy is like that." Elena told me. We kept on painting whilst Elena kept staring at Stefan.

"Oh no. Longing looks are being exchanged." Caroline commentated.

"I'm going to go talk to him." Elena told us a walked towards him even though Caroline tried to stop her. We looked at each other and I could see that something was up. Suddenly Damon stood beside us.

"What's her problem?" He asked.

"Don't worry about it." Caroline said.

"Why are you being such a bitch to your mom?"

"Don't worry about it." Caroline repeated and continued with the painting. Damon then turned his attention to me.

"Are you going to apologize for slapping me in the face?" He asked me. I tried to ignore his arrogant ass but he made it difficult.

"Are you going to leave my boyfriend alone, and not try to kill him?" I asked back.

"I can't promise that. Sorry." He said smirking at me.

"Then no. I'm not going to apologize for slapping you and I can't wait to do it again." I said and gave him my brush before leaving them behind. Elena and Stefan got into a fight and from the looks of it, broke up. I couldn't help but feel bad for her.

Third person p.o.v

Tyler had taken the girls Aimee and another girl named Sarah back to his home to do some drinking in the company of Jeremy.

The girls were dancing around, having fun. Sarah were dancing around Jeremy whilst Aimee headed over to Tyler.

"Hey. Where is mine?" She asked about the drink.

"Have at it." Tyler said and poured a drink for her.

"Thanks for having us over. I think Sarah's got a thing for Jeremy." Aimee said.

"Well, good for Sarah." Tyler said, not really interested.

"Look I'm really embarrassed about slutting it up with you that day at the swimming hole. I'm usually not like that." She told him.

"No need to apologize." Tyler told her.

"So, is it true that your ex-girlfriend is living here at the moment?" She asked.

"Yeah. She's been living here for little over a month now." Tyler said.

"Are you guys back together?"

"Didn't you hear? Sarah Gilbert is dating Tyler's uncle." The other Sarah said from the living room.

"Where did you hear that?" Tyler asked, as Sarah came over to them with Jeremy in a tow.

"Oh please. I got a message from one of my friends who's at the picnic. She told me that Sarah and your uncle were sucking faces in the public." She said.

"Well. I guess the cat's out of the bag." Tyler murmured. Sarah suddenly noticed Jeremy's sketchbook.

"Can I see?" She asked.

"Ah, no, no. No way." Jeremy said quickly.

"I want to see." Aimee said.

"Yeah, let's see. What does Van Gogh got going on?" Tyler said.

"Ok yeah, check it out." Jeremy told Sarah and she looked through the book.

"Oooh! Scary demon wolf thing." She said and it made Tyler nervous. He took the book away from Sarah and looked at it.

"What's all this about?" He asked.

"Just some sketches. Do you still draw Tyler?" Jeremy asked.

"A little but not much. You know I got some sketches that I'm actually working on. Come on I'll show you." Tyler said to Jeremy. They walked into his father`s old study and Tyler closed the door. Whilst Jeremy looked for the drawings, Tyler pinned him against the wall by his neck.

"What are those pictures about huh?" He asked.

"Tyler, I can't breathe." Jeremy choked out.

"Answer me! Why? Why wolf pictures?" Tyler gritting out, through clenched teeth.

"Because I know." Jeremy said and Tyler let him go.

"You know what?"

"I know what you are." Jeremy said and it surprised Tyler.

"How do you know about this?" He asked.

"My uncle John left an old diary laying around. A crazy Gilbert that wrote about this curse that was running in our family." Jeremy said.

"Curse about what?"

"Werewolves. It's crazy, right? But then Matt was attacked by a wolf under a full moon and your uncle had just gotten back to town. It was just too weird and considering he's my sister's boyfriend, I have a right to be concerned. Is it true? Does Sarah know?" Jeremy said.

"About my uncle? Yeah, and Sarah knows." Tyler confirmed.

"But you are not?" Jeremy asked.

"A wolf? I'm sorry. A werewolf? No. I mean, not yet. Just saying that out loud makes me feel like I'm crazy."

"I don't think so but then again, I have always believed in the crazy stuff." Jeremy said.

"My uncle said that you have to trigger the curse. Somebody has to die at your hands, like murder or an accident. I have to cause death and boom! Next full moon I'm howling on all fours." Tyler answered, feeling relieved that

"Is that why he came back? To tell you all of this?" Jeremy asked.

"Yeah right. He had to tell me. I caught him. He's not here for me. He's here for this." Tyler said and took out a stone from his pocket.

"Or he came for only this but now; I think that your sister is just as much of a reason." Tyler said making Jeremy completely shocked.

Sarah's p.o.v

I was hadn't seen Mason in a while, so I began to feel let out and wanted to go home. I stood by the lemonade stand, having a drink when I suddenly felt familiar arms around me.

"I'm sorry for earlier." Mason whispered in my ear.

"It's ok. I just hope that things don't go badly, that's all." I said and leaned into his embrace.

"Do you want some lemonade?" The little girl asked.

"Yes, thank you." Mason said and that was when Damon joined us. He looked at the way Mason were holding me close to him and he narrowed his eyes.

"Hello Mason. Slapper." He said to me. Mason looked at me in surprise.

"I sort of slapped him earlier." I mumbled making Mason laugh.

"Working hard?" Damon asked.

"Doing my part." Mason said honestly.

"I heard you talked to Stefan."

"Yeah, nice guy." Mason told him.

"Well he's a lot nicer than me." Damon said and I huffed.

"That's for sure." I muttered under my breath.

"Nice is overrated." Mason told him.

"That's what I think." Mason threw away our cups and grabbed my hand.

"You have a good day, Damon." He said and took me with him away from Damon and I complained.

"Thank you for not making a big thing out of the strained moment between you and Damon." I said burying my face into his chest.

"I thought about what you said and it got me thinking and I realized you had a point." Mason told me and wrapped his arms around me. Suddenly he let go.

"Hey, I'm just going to take away some trash ok? I'll talk to you in a little while." Mason told me and I nodded.

"No funny business ok?" I asked him or more told him.

"Ok." He said and kissed me once before leaving. I watched Mason walk away and I got that bad feeling again. Caroline came up to me.

"I know you don't talk that much to your sister but she's hurting right now and she needs some support." Caroline told me.

"I don't know." I dragged it out.

"Come on. This is a time to show who bigger of a person you are." Caroline said and she had a point. To have a broken heart sucked.

"Fine. I'll go with you." I said and Caroline dragged me along with her.

We found Elena down by the river away from the picnic. We sat down beside her and I could see that she was sad.

"You ok?" Caroline asked.

"Nope." Elena said shortly, not making eye contact with us.

"You know, maybe it's for the best." Caroline said softly.

"No, Caroline, this is not for the best. Nothing of this is for the best." Elena snapped at her.

"I'm sorry, ok. I don't mean to take it out on you. On any of you. You're just being a good friend."

"No, I'm not. I'm not being a good friend. Not to you, and not Sarah. All I've done since I became a vampire, is to hurt Sarah." Caroline said with a sad smile. Suddenly Caroline looked up and saw her mother.

"Where is she going? Is she leaving?" Caroline asked us and got up to go talk to her mother. Elena and I looked at each other for a few seconds before following Caroline.

"What's going on?" I asked as we reached her.

"I don't know. Something's up." Caroline said worriedly. She grabbed my arm and dragged me away from the picnic and Elena followed us.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"I just need to hear better." Caroline told us as we reached a hill.

"Hear what?" I asked.

"Something's wrong guys." Caroline said and looked around.

"Oh god!" She said suddenly and I got that same feeling once again. Something's wrong.

"What's going on?" Elena asked.

"It's Stefan and Damon." Caroline said and took off running through the wood with Elena and me on her heel. All I could think about was to keep everyone safe. Especially Mason, and I ran as fast as I have ever done. I almost didn`t see Caroline stopping.

"What is it?" Elena asked.

"They've been here." Caroline said and noticed the blood on the ground.

"What are you three doing here?" Mason said, and I jumped at his presence.

"Have you seen Stefan?" Elena asked.

"Yes, Elena. I have seen him, and Damon too." Mason said and I knew that he had been lying to me.

"Where is he?"

"You don't need me for that. I'll let your friend her sniff them out. Does your mother know what you are? I'm happy to tell her." Right now, Mason were being a giant jackass, I hated it, and Caroline wanted to hurt him. Mason took a hold of my sister and I gasped.

"Not so fast. Necks breaks easy around here." Mason said and I got angrier by the second.

"I can take you." Caroline told him.

"Want to bet?"

"Yeah I do." Caroline said and kicked his ass. There and then, I didn't feel sorry for him. Caroline and Elena looked at me.

"Go. I'll stay here." I said. Caroline and Elena ran and I stood there waiting for Mason to get up. Ever so slowly, he stood up. He knew that I was angry and at that point I don`t think that being beaten up by a vampire is worse than my wrath.

"Are you ok?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"Yeah. I'll live." He said still avoiding my gaze.

"What the hell were you thinking! Do you know how bad this could get? If Elena gets to them on time, they will find you and they will kill you. You promised me that you wouldn't do anything and then you turn around go behind my back and you do this." I almost yelled at him.

"Sarah…" He started.

"No! I can't talk to you right now, I'm too angry. I'll catch a ride home from someone else. See you at home." I said turning around without looking at him again.

"Sarah!" Mason called after me, but I didn't listen. I couldn't talk to him right now.

I couldn't find anyone to drive me home, so I took a cab. I could hear voices in the house when I got back to the mansion. I opened the door and saw the other Sarah from school run up the stairs.

"I want Jeremy to come and get it." Sarah said and I could tell she was flirting with him.

"Come on Jeremy. Come upstairs with me and I'll show bad of a drunk I can be." She told him.

"Ew! First, gross. That's my brother. Second, he's all good, thanks." I said and Sarah didn't look happy to see me.

"Are you ok?" Jeremy asked.

"Whoa! You shouldn't be drinking." Jeremy told me and I knew he was right.

I could see Tyler arguing with the other Sarah in the staircase and Sarah suddenly without warning, fell down the stairs.

She wasn't moving and Jeremy, Tyler and I shared glances. What if she died? Then she started laughing.

"Fooled you. You pushed me down the stairs." Sarah said.

"He didn't mean too, ok." Jeremy said and helped her up. Aimee took her to the living room.

"Call them a cab, and get them home now." I ordered both Tyler and Jeremy.

"You go home too Jeremy and do not argue with me on this right now." I told him and for once, he didn't say anything back and did what I told them to do.

When the others finally left, I went in to talk to Tyler. He sat there with his head in his hands.

"I didn't mean for this to happen. She was just being stubborn and I wasn`t thinking." He said to me. I looked at the stone Mason had been looking for.

"You had this all along, didn't you?" I stated.

"Yeah. I found it at the night of the carnival but I wanted to know about what Mason was hiding before giving it to him but then when you came into the picture, it didn't seem so important to him anymore." Tyler said.

"But today scared me. The way it made me feel when I thought, she was dead. I didn't care and I never want to feel like that ever again." Tyler looked so afraid and I felt bad for him.

"You need to give this to him and you need to tell him what you're feeling because this isn't good for you." I told him as I handed him the stone before leaving the study.

"Wait. Why didn't you go home with Mason tonight?" Tyler asked me.

"Well. Your uncle was a big jackass to me today so I told him I would get home on my own." I said and walked away leaving him alone. I was starving after a long day of therapy and the picnic so I went to the kitchen to make some food. I wasn't the best cook, so I just decided to heat up some soup and hope that I don't burn it. I took out some bread from the freezer too. It felt good to eat a little and have a cup of tea whilst reading a magazine. I could hear Mason came home and went to talk to Tyler but I tried not to care. I was washing up after myself when I heard the kitchen door open but I didn't turn around.

"Did you talk to Tyler?" I asked him.

"Yes, I did. He turned in for the night." Mason told me carefully.

"And did you get the stone?" I could tell he wasn't surprised that I knew that Tyler had it.

"Yeah I did."

"Well good for you." Mason walked closer to me but I just moved away from him, putting things away.

"Please don't be mad at me." He pleaded me.

"I'm not mad at you Mason." I shot back.

"I can tell that you are."

"No Mason you can't. Do you not remember that conversation we had earlier today? I'm so scared of losing you and stunts just like this one, will get you killed. Do you understand that?" I yelled as I turned around to face him. Mason didn't say anything only stood there looking at me. He did understand why I was reacting like this.

"I'm sorry, sunshine. I really am." Mason told me. I sighed and walked up to him placing both my hands and cupped his face.

"I'm so scared of losing you because I'm falling in love with you and I promised myself I wouldn't let this happen for a long time and then you happened. I need you safe." I said before leaving him in the kitchen. Mason walked after me, and grabbed me to spin me around. He crashed his lips to mine in a demanding, loving kind of way. I couldn't resist him and jumped up to wrap my legs around his waist. Without difficulty, he brought me upstairs to the bedroom, and I let him have his way with me. I didn't have any control when it came to this.

I was falling completely in love with Mason Lockwood and I didn't know if he felt the same way.

Third person p.o.v

Mason looked at the girl sleeping in his bed. Sarah were laying with her head on his chest and he listened to her steady breathing and heartbeat. She was so beautiful it hurts. He wanted to protect her from everything. Wrap her up in cotton, so she wouldn't harm herself in any way. It was scary how quickly she wormed her way into his heart. He never wanted to cause her any pain.

Mason kissed her forehead and wanted to go sleep but he knew that he had to do something about the moonstone. Then a text buzzed on his phone.

Meet me in the woods in ten minutes. That was all it said and he knew he had to get up.

Mason managed to remove Sarah without waking her. She snuggled her pillow and sighed deeply in her sleep. Mason walked silently out of the room and made his way out of the house without waking anyone. He walked through the woods until he saw the car waiting for him and he got in.

"I've been waiting." Katherine told him. "What was that stunt you pulled with the Salvatore brothers today?" She asked.

"I thought you would be happy about that." Mason argued, rolling his eyes at her.

"I told you to stay away from them." Katherine warned him.

"You told me that you didn't care."

"I don't. I need you to not get distracted on finding the moonstone." Katherine said and she could see the look on his face. "You got it."

"I got it." Mason confirmed. Katherine made a move to kiss Mason but he pulled away.

"What? This is a first." Katherine stated.

"I'm not in the mood. I have the moonstone. It's safe but I'm not in the mood for you and me." Mason said.

"It's because of that girl. Sarah Gilbert. You care for her. She is the reason you call off our little booty call arrangement a few weeks ago." Katherine said.

"Goodbye Katherine. I'll talk to you later." Mason said, and got out of the car and left her behind. He made it back to the mansion and into his room. Sarah were still sleeping and she looked so peaceful with her hair all over the place and the sheets wrapped loosely around her, exposing her upper body. This girl was perfect in her own fragile way and he wanted nothing more than happiness for her. Mason undressed and got into bed. Sarah woke up a little when he pulled her against him.

"Mason?" She said sleepily.

"Sssh. It's ok, go back to sleep." He whispered. Sarah sighed into his chest.

"I love you, Sarah." Mason told her quietly thinking she was asleep.

"I love you too, Mason." He heard Sarah say before she fell back to sleep. It didn't take long before Mason fell asleep as well but what none of them knew was that Katherine were standing in the room looking at them, mostly at Sarah. She couldn't understand how anyone could blow her off. No one blew off Katherine Pierce, and got away with it.

"Oh, you poor little thing. You've just made an enemy, my friend and it's not going to be pretty." Katherine said as she looked down at the sleeping Sarah Gilbert.
