Addison Gilbert POV*
So... if you don't remember, Jenna and I are in a bit of a predicament right now. Her shitty ex, Logan 'Fuckface' Fell is standing outside of our front door like he wasn't killed by Damon the night that Vicki turned. Anyways, Jenna's doing all of the talking and I'm trying to figure out a good way to bend down to grab the bottle without jostling the fussy baby in my arms too much.
Jenna was taking charge for the both of us though, "Why are you here, Logan?" Nice, Auntie Jen with the right questions.
"I missed you. I was out of town. I..." Scum told his ex girlfriend, throwing a glare at me over her shoulder, and I'll have you know, that that death stare did not go unreturned.
"Yeah, I got that email." By the look on his face he looks about as shocked as I did the first time I heard about that little detail.
"You got an email?" He asked her shocked, yeah I know, this is the only time I'll ever agree with this dick face. But the council pulled a dick move by sending an email instead of just admitting that Scum Fell was dead.
Jenna gave him a sarcastic look, "You didn't send an email?"
I got Chloe to take the bottle after I finally got it off of the floor, and after doing all of that I moved closer to the door to stand by Jenna. Scum bucket gave me a once over and tossed me a smirk before telling Jen, "I can explain. Just invite me in and I'll tell you everything."
"Yeah, how about go fuck yourself," I suggested to him and Jenna added on to it.
"I'm not gonna invite you in. Forget it." Mental high-five to my dear aunt.
"Come on, Jenna. It's me. And don't listen to Addison, you know she's never liked me at all, plus, she doesn't make the best decisions." He tried to convince while gesturing to Chloe who was giving one of the cutest bitch faces that I've ever seen. I'm so proud, she gets that from me.
Jenna and I shared a look before both saying at the same time, "The answer's no." Yes bitch! another mental high five for the red head.
"I know you. You're always one step from a "maybe", a tiny nudge to "yes"." He keeps going like he is and the fucker is gonna wish that Damon finished him off the first time.
I spoke just under my breath, because I knew this vampire asshole would hear me, "You just fucked up vampire boy." He looked surprised that I knew what he was but didn't have a chance to question me.
Jenna scoffed at her dip shit ex-boyfriend, "You just pointed out that I have no self-control. Clever strategy!"
"You know what that means?" I asked, and waited a beat before adding, "It means fuck off Scum Bag." And with that, Jenna slammed the door on his face.
We both migrated to the living room, she went back to watching her soap opera, but I made a b-line for the stairs. I called over my shoulder, "Night Jenna!"
"Night Addie, and also, watch the language around the baby." She responded.
I barked out a laugh at her, "Shouldn't I be telling you that sugar?" I didn't get an answer, but her laughter is what I heard following me up the stairs.
When I got to my room, I shut the door and sat down in my rocking chair to finish feeding Chloe. I had grabbed my phone off of my night stand before I sat down though. I sat there rocking, holding the bottle in place with my chin as I contemplating calling Stefan or Damon. But that's when I remembered, I don't have either of their numbers.
Yeah I know, we've known each other who knows how long, a few months maybe? But I still don't have their numbers, but I'm pretty sure that Elena doesn't know that Logan was dead, so I'm just gonna wait for tomorrow and hope that Stefan shows up at the school.
I sighed and tossed my phone onto my bed and grabbed the now empty bottle out of my sleeping baby's mouth. I got up and put her into her crib before basically throwing myself onto my bed, and climbed under my blankets. I got comfy and was out in a matter of minutes.
—~•+•~—
The next morning I was in the kitchen filling Chloe's diaper bad with what I'll need tonight since we are going to the job fare thing that the High School throws every year. I had just finished up with everything, and stepped out to the entry way where Jenna was to buckle Chloe into her car seat when Lena bounded down the stairs with a smile on her face.
"Jeremy's got his sketchpad out." She informed Jen and myself.
"Um, since when?" I asked Lena with a sarcastic look, I noticed that the kid was drawing when I went in his room to give him his daily dose of annoying older sister.
"You're kidding?" Jen-Dog asked after shoving me in an attempt to scold me for my attitude, but it only made me laugh, because it made my sweet baby let out her adorable giggle.
Lena ruined the great moment, because she just had to go and talk again, "Nope. But don't say a word. The minute we encourage him, he'll put it away." That's a fresh pile of Bull Shit, because I nagged on him to show me his drawings and he went a ahead and kept drawing when I left.
Jenna though it was funny though, "Psychology major. Check that!"
I finished clicking Chloe into her seat, that honestly took way longer than it was supposed to, but I was distracted alright. I went back upstairs to my room so that I could grab my bookbag, and when I came back I heard Jenna asking Lena, "Where is he going?" Awe, they must be talking about Stefmiester.
"I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary." No, the vampires get scary. Lena then opened the door, and Jenna and I followed her out.
Jenna laughed, "Yours leaves, mine returns." Isn't that just such a shame.
"Logan?" So I was right, she didn't know that Damon killed him, and I'm not about to tell her that, because she'll freak out and then proceed to get pissed because I knew more about what was going on then she did.
I spoke up, "Yeah, Scum bag showed up last night while I was feeding Chloe. Jen-Dog didn't let him get too far though." Jenna and I gave each other a high five.
Elena rolled her eyes, "I hope you slammed it in his face." She directed to Jenna.
"Ah, medium slam." Jen told Lannie-girl with a grin.
"Three strike rule, Jenna. You're not even aloud to watch the news." Lena told her jokingly.
I told them, "I honestly don't thing Asshole Fell is gonna be on the news anymore Jen-tastic, so don't you worry you pretty head about that.
Jenna tossed her arms of both of us girl's shoulders, "Exactly. No more Logan "Scum" Fell."
"That's the spirit baby!"
—~•+•~—
After Lena and I got to school we met up with Bonnie and as we were walking through the halls and I was momentarily stunned when I saw my best friend and the boy I used to think was going to be my brother in law seemingly flirting outside of a classroom.
My eyes locked with Tyler's, who was standing at the end of the hall and he gave me a questioning look to which I shrugged because yo, I don't have a clue.
And it seems Lena is on the same page as Tiller and myself, "Did I miss something?"
"They've been hanging out." Cinnabon informed us.
"Kind of weird, don't you think?" Lena asked.
"For you, " I stated, " I think its sweet."
Bonnie shrugged, agreeing with me, "She needs someone nice like him, as opposed to a homicidal vampire like Damon." He wasn't so bad until he bit me, but still, he saved me after that though, so who knows.
"Yeah, how are you doing with all that?" She asked the witch.
"I'm freaked out. Damon tried to attack me, and he did attack Addie when she stepped in front of me."
I cut in, "It ain't nothing Bon, I'm fine."
She continued anyway, "I could be dead right now. But I'm also grateful."
"Why?" I asked as Lena hummed in confusion.
"To Stefan, and Ads. They saved my life and...Have you seen him?" She asked the two of us.
We were now at Lena's locker, so she was taking off her scarf as she explained, "Not since he told me he was leaving. For all I know, he's already gone."
"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye." Um, no Bon Bon, I'm almost pretty sure that he would in fact do just that.
"Yes, he would. He thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that." Yes ma'am, Lannie knows what's up.
"So, what are you gonna do?" Is it just me or is this conversation dragging on a bit too much. Plus, I don't wanna talk about Stefan anymore, it makes me think of Damon. And when I think of Damon it makes me think about what possessed Bon said last night about him being hers. But the thing is, she could be talking about literally any two people that I know.
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I missed whatever Lena said, but I did hear Bonnie say, "Maybe it's for the best."
"What?" I started.
And Lena finished, "Why?"
"I mean, what kind of future could you have had with him, even if he stayed?" Bon clarified for us. But I don't think that that is really the right thing. Everyone has a future with someone, Lena's could be with the forever 17 year old, you never know.
Then abruptly, the "Promise of your Future" sign for the fare tonight fell down in front of us, "Bon Bon, if that was you, you've got some bad timing." I told her.
"Did you just...?" Lena started to ask, but Bon denied it instantly.
"No, I swear."
"Oh, God." Lena said, whacking the poster away, and I really tried my best not to laugh at her frustration, but you know how it is sometimes. Bonnie gave my arm a whack and shot me a glare before she walked off after the least awesome Gilbert twin.
—~•+•~—
After school, I had to work until all of the kids were picked up, and seeing as Lena and I carpooled this morning, she picked me up after and we drove to the school. Both Lena and I were looking around and I jumped a little, not expecting her to speak so loud, "I'm guessing you're not here to plan the path for your future."
I threw the ex-couple a look before stating, "More like looking out for you." I took a breath, and glanced down at the baby girl sitting on my hip, and spoke again, "I'm just gonna... not be here." And with that I made myself scarce from the conversation.
It just so happened that when I exited the room I ran straight into my beautiful read head of an aunt. She stole my child from me a few seconds later and we were casually talking about our day, when I could tell she scoped something out over my shoulder.
She groaned soon after, so I took a peek over my shoulder and rolled my eyes, cursing under my breath, when I noticed who the offender was. Jen took my hand and dragged me back into the room with Stef boy and Lannie girl.
She let go of my hand once we were there, and told the duo, "Hide me."
And while Lena asked her what was going on, I grabbed Stefan's arm and gave him a look, muttering, "The Vamp is Logan Fell."
I payed attention just in time to hear Lena say, "Logan's here."
"Wait, Logan Fell?" Stef piped up after and both Jean-Dog and I gave him a nod, yet mine was more of an irritated one because yo, I just freaking said that.
After the conformation he shot out of the room and into the hall, probably to try and spot Logan. He was quickly followed by us three and a half girls as he was approached by Logan. "Stefan, what's going on?"
He didn't have a chance to answer the doe eyed girl, because Logan got to it first by asking, "Jenna, are you dodging me?"
"It's a form of self-preservation." Jenna passed Chloe over to me after her sassy remark. Hey you know what, I think I know who was responsible for me becoming as sarcastic and sassy as I am. And if you lost right now, it was Jentatsic.
"Um, Elena, why don't you, Addison, and Jenna go somewhere else?" Lena gave him an understanding look.
Lena grabbed Jenna's hand and said, "Let's go."
But I refused and stood my ground by Stefan, keeping a tight hold on Chloe because I hate to admit it, but I'm somewhat (very) scared of what will happen with the vamp Scum walking around the school at the moment.
Stefan gave me a look for not following his stupid orders, before he turned and got into Logan's personal space and asking, "What are you doing here?"
"You know, your brother asked me the same thing." I'm sure Damon was super glad that you walked away instead of him, not. "In fact, why don't we just skip past all that who turned me stuff and get the answer that I want? How can I turn into a day walker?" Well buddy, I'm pretty sure we both know that that is just not gonna happen.
"Damon and I are the only two that I know of." Stefmiester informed.
"But you're both very cagey on the how, which tells me that there is a way." Has he seen the big tacky sunlight rings that they wear, because they aren't subtle? "You know, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm quite the celebrity in this town. It would be very, very easy for me to expose you." His eyes flipped to me, "I could also kill your little walking blood bag here and her bastard, how does that sound?"
I shot him my deadliest glare, "I could shove a wooden steak into your eye, how does that sound dick-bag?"
Stef took hold of my arm, probably telling me to stop provoking the baby vamp. "You wanna know how you can walk around in the sun?" Steffie has anyone ever told you you'd be a great actor?
"I do." That's unfortunate isn't it?
"You can't." Did I call it, or did I call it huh? "Don't ever threaten me again." The brood is real. Also Scum Fell looks like he's about to cry like a little girl right now. I knew today was gonna be a good day!
Stefan grabbed my free arm, pulling me from the spot where I was staring a hole right into Logan's forehead, and pulled me away from him. And after giving me a short lecture of the danger I could have been in, blah blah blah, he left me in the hall and exited in the school.
In an attempt to find my brother, I walked around, and somehow was lucky enough to do so. As I approached in, he seemed to be talking to Tyler, which was a big surprise, because last I knew those two hated each other. But the surprise quickly melted away when they broke out into a fight in the middle of the hallway, figures.
I had just gotten to the fighting boys when they were broken up by Mr. Dickwood and Mr. S. I was stunned when the Mayor told the two, "You two, follow me." And since I refuse to leave my baby brother in this situation, I followed them.
I paused and looked over my shoulder like everyone else in out little pack when Saltzman called out, "Excuse me, Mayor. Where are you taking them?"
"I'm gonna talk to them. All fights should end in handshakes, don't you think?" Mayor Dickweed informed the history teacher, he immediately turned back to the somewhat enemies and telling them, "Come on."
I threw Mr. S a pleading look over my shoulder, before following the boys and Mayor wherever they where headed. Once it seemed we were secluded enough for the man he stopped. "Ok, let's get this out of your system. Go ahead. Fight." He ordered. And as if feeling the tension around her, Chloe started to get a little fussy.
"No!" I basically yelled at the man, who just glared before turning his attention back onto the boys.
"You want us to what?" Jer asked Dickwood.
Tyler spoke up after Jeremy, "I'm not gonna fight him, dad."
"I don't think so, sir." Jer went to leave, but the oh so great Mystic Falls mayor blocked his path.
"You don't fight in there like pansies. You take it outside, fight your battles like men, and move on. Best lesson my dad taught me. So let's settle it. Fight." He tried to order again, but this time I said a few more colorful words than last time.
"Yeah, well that was a stupid lesson Mayor Dickweed. So we're just gonna go," And when I reached to grab my emo little brothers arm, Mr. Lockwood forcefully pushed me, almost making me fall. That dick, I have a baby in my arms right now, who does he think he is?
"Come on, dad." Tyler tried to reason.
And Jeremy also did his best to get out of the situation, "That's not gonna happen."
"I said fight!" And that is what sets my little girl off into a crying fit.
It was all chaos for the next few seconds, what with Tyler's dick of a father shoving him into Jeremy when he tries to leave.
So you can imagine how relieved I was when Mr. S came and stood beside me, "Whoa. What's going on out here?"
I got Chloe to clam down a bit by sticking my pointer finger in her mouth since I didn't have a binky with me, and it actually worked. I wish I had my diaper bag right now because she also nearing the time for her next bottle.
"Just letting these two kids work it out. We're good here. Go back inside." Yeah, because that is gonna make the teacher who followed you from the hallway leave.
And I am correct once again, "I don't wanna go back inside. What I want is an answer to my question." God if I wasn't rooting for him and Jenna to be together and I want so attracted to Damon, his little cocky look would get me hot, "What's going on out here?"
"Who do you think you're talking to? Do I look like a student?" Nah, you look like an asshole.
"No. You look like a full grown alpha male douchebag." Ya know, Mr. S and I would make really great friends. I need to get right on that.
I observed the looks flashing across the boy's faces, Jeremy looked amused and he was smirking. Ty though, look petrified at the guts that Saltzman had to be able to say that to his father, the mayor.
Mayor Asshat on the other hand looked pissed, "You don't talk to me like that. I can have your job like this." He snapped his fingers.
And I applaud Mr. S for looking so amused after getting threatened, good for him, "Ah, you do that. Then it will be you and me in this parking lot, working things out. You cool with that?" What a awesome guy, really.
Mayor didn't like that at all, "You just marked yourself." He doesn't look too worried about that.
"Okay." If this guys doesn't wife my aunt up right this moment I'm gonna lose my freaking mind.
Dickweed looked back to Tyler, who started walking away, and he shortly followed his son. Instead of watching them walk away, my eyes stayed on my little bro, who was trying to hide a smile. I don't know why he'd try, my amusement is defiantly showing right now, plus I don't have to deal with my baby being a crying mess, so I've earned it.
And though I didn't, I know that Mr. S did the opposite of me until they were our of sight. And when they were he turned back to us and asked Jer-Bear, "You all right?"
Jeremy nodded, and left, heading back into the school, leaving me and my hopefully future uncle by ourselves. "Are you both okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I calmed her down pretty fast after he shoved me, she wasn't ready for that." I glanced up at him to find him staring at the baby in my arms, "She doesn't like yelling." I informed.
"Most babies don't, "He told me with a grin before asking, "Mind if I walk you inside?"
A gentleman huh, "That would be great Mr. S." I think we'd make a pretty bad ass team.
After getting escorted to the main hall by my new favorite teacher, I started my search for Lena, because it was defiantly time for Chloe to have a bottle. And luckily I found her right as she was about to leave with Stefan.
"I know." Was what I heard when I got close.
Stefan must have been resisting before, "All right. That'd be nice." But not anymore, they seriously need to decide if they are actually gonna stay together or not.
"Well I hope you don't mind a third wheel, because I am not gonna move Chloe's car seat, its way too difficult to deal with." And so, I sat in the back of the car and third wheeled them to the humongous boarding house.
—~•+•~—
So, instead of Lena and I leaving the house together, she ended up staying there to do some very questionable things. And in light of that, I went home by myself.
What I wasn't expecting was to get a frantic call from my dear sister about an hour after I had finally got Chloe to sleep. She was rambling like crazy, something about her looking like someone, and that I needed to come get her.
I knocked on Jenna's door to let her know that I was going to pick up Lena, and that Chloe was asleep in my room. After she let me know that she heard me I took off towards the boarding house and about half way there, the radio went all funky.
I looked away from the road and fiddled around with it, before giving up after a few seconds, and when I looked back up there was a person standing in the middle of the road right in front of my car.
I slammed on my brakes, but I wasn't able to stop and the person ended up hitting my windshield. It was terrifying, because the next thing I knew the car was flipping and I'm finding myself super glad that I decided to leave Chloe at home with Jenna.
When it was all over, I was stuck in my seat upside down, and when I looked out at the road I saw the heap of whoever I hit laying in the road. I was not expecting it when the dude started getting up like nothing happened and then was making his way towards my car.
And that is when I started screaming bloody murder.
