She just said goodbye to Matt about half an hour ago who left for work before she finds herself walking across the lot to see if she can find Elena since her sister isn't answering her calls. Alexis frowns, looking down at her phone, she hasn't seen her sister since she told her about that man and that was about a couple of hours ago. The mother to be lets out a breath of air before she puts her phone into the pocket of Matt's jacket she's wearing before she turns, slowly looking around for Elena or one of the group so she can ask if they've seen her.

It was a noise, it was something, maybe it was everyone turning to look, shocked looks on their face that makes her look back around. Her mouth falls open and her eyes widen, making her stumble a few steps back to protect herself even though she isn't really close to what is happening before her. A car is burning, Tiki's car is on fire, flames flicking and burning it in the middle of the lot. She feels someone move next to her, a hand on her lower arm and her eyes lock onto her friend. Bonnie is standing before the fire, a trail of flames stopping and dying before her as if she is the ignition point. Alexis looks at her friend, Bonnie standing, holding a broom seemingly watching the fire in a trance. Alexis watches as Stefan runs, grabbing and pulling Bonnie back from the flames, yet Bonnie seems unresponsive. She watches as Stefan puts his hands on Bonnie shoulders and Bonnie looks over, shaking out of the trance before suddenly the flames die out and the fire's gone.

Alexis is breathing hard, almost shaking, her heart beat erratic and she's not completely sure why. Actually she knows part of it is being so close to danger while pregnant and Bonnie, as ridiculous as it seems...the whole witch thing isn't really looking that far fetched. Noticing her distress, the grip on her lower arm squeezes gently causing her to look at the person. She really is not surprised it Tyler. They lock eyes and she is incredibly thankful he's become her friend. "What was the hell was that?" He asks, huffing it out but looks confused himself. Her brow creases and she shakes her head. She can't tell him about Bonnie it's not her place but she also knows it isn't just about Bonnie, its everything strange going on in this town and even the mysterious Salvatore's but she won't let herself dwell on them, apart from how much of a bad person Damon is, because something tells her if she does everything will change in the worst way.

"I- Something is happening to this town, Ty'." Alexis confesses and Tyler looks at her not knowing what exactly she means.

"It's probably nothing, some asrehole probably flicked a cigarette on some fuel." Tyler huffs out, hatred in his voice at whoever he thinks it could have been but it isn't completely convincing.

"Maybe..." She agrees quietly, looking down, not quite believing that so she continues as her eyes flick back to him. "But I'm not just talking about that." She tells him and the look on his face is serious but he shakes his head, looking away.

"Come on, lets get out of here." He tells her and she can't agree with that idea more. She just feels scattered at the moment, not really knowing what to think as she looks back, wanting to see if Bonnie is okay first she only sees Stefan in sight, Bonnie's run off.

When they get into Tyler's car and he starts driving she looks at him thoughtfully when she realizes she hasn't eaten in a while. Honestly it feels like she's been slapped in the face with hunger and it's a good distraction to focus on rather than everything else. "Before you drop me home can we get food?" She asks him and he looks over to her nodding because he could use some food right now as well as she writes out a message asking if Bonnie is okay over text before putting her phone back in her pocket.

"Sure, what do you want?" He asks and she realizes actually didn't think that far ahead. She pauses for a second, thinking over what she feels like eating before shrugging.

"I don't know." Alexis admits carelessly, leaving the choice to him. The jock takes in a sharp breath of air at that answer, ticking his jaw.

"I swear you girls always say that." He huffs out as if he runs into this problem on a regular basis and she just looks at him, narrowing her eyes.

"Oh please, you say that like you actually take girls out on a date" She scoffs, amusement and disdain in her voice. His lips quirk up and a look comes across his face at just how fast her response was. He wonders how long she's been waiting to make another snarky remark about his play boy ways. He shakes his head and lets out a laugh.

"It's called ordering out, you know you can actually get food delivered to you. Don't even have to leave the bed until it's there and you're paying for the food with nothing but a blanket around your waist." Tyler tells her smugly and mock thoughtfully, clicking his tongue in his mouth. She closes her eyes, shaking her head and her lips quirk up at the smugness of him.

"God, you're a jerk." She huffs out, laughing in disbelief at his ways and cocky, player nature but being able to look past them in the most part because lately she's been seeing the real person beneath it all. He shakes his head, grinning though,

"Just pick a place, Alexis." He tells her, getting back to that topic and once again she shrugs.

"I don't know. You pick one." She tells him, knowing she can't decide at the moment and he rolls his eyes.

"Fine." He caves with a loud, exaggerated sigh. "What about the grill." Tyler suggests the first and most obvious place that comes to mind but she finds herself making a face and shaking her head.

"No, don't feel like that." Now she is actually doing it just to annoy him.

"Oh my god, Alexis!" He speaks loudly, getting a little frustrated at not knowing what to do.

"Sorry." She chuckles, though feeling a little bad but it's in good spirit. He sighs and looks at her.

"Just tell me what your craving to eat and I'll work with that."

Take out from various places around them, they sit in the parked car eating together and talking as they do so. The food isn't great but it hits the right spots. Alexis offhandedly makes a comment about some times you just need something different from home cooked meals and Tyler's response makes her face fall. He said he wouldn't know, that his parents never really cooked, always too busy. She frowns at that before a smile is back in its place.

"Well, I guess you're going to have to come over for dinner." She suggests with a smile before eating another curly fry dipped in hot sauce.

"Ale-" He starts, shaking his head but she's not going to let him get out of it.

"Come on, I'll cook you something. Nice, home cooked, and I promise I'm good at cooking!" She promises and she knows there's something comforting about a home cooked meal that just makes you feel warm and happy when it's cooked for you by someone that cares. She wants Tyler to have that as well as she thinks everyone should every so often, and because she cares.

"Matt told me…" Tyler agrees, tilting his head as if thinking about it. Apparently her cooking's really good, Matt not only told him about last night but the other times she's cooked for him. It would be nice, Tyler supposes, to actually sit down with his friends and have a home cooked dinner, though he isn't sure about it. The raven haired teen shakes his head. "But you're not my mother." He says that even though he knows Alexis Gilbert is a homemaker. She's always been the 'mom' of the group, she'll take you in, make you feel like family, and then she will truly do everything in her power to do anything for you. She's incredibly loyal to those she loves. But sometimes those bonds take longer, because something happen and trust can't be easily built with some or their words are too sharp or something like that.

Alexis Gilbert is the girl who'll always make sure you're okay even if you have wronged her. He will never forget the moment she asked if he was okay after he got a well-deserved punch as bruise still appeared on her face from where he accidentally struck her a week before. It speaks volume to the kind of girl she is but the history they have along with her empathy is why she was able to forgive him. If it was anyone she didn't know as well, he knows she would not be as quick to forgive. He's so happy that she did though because something changed and he needs her.

Right now, the mother-to-be, gives him a pouty look. "I know, but I like cooking and I want to. Come on, Tyler." She tries to stress her point and It almost hurts when people don't take what she offers when it comes to her cooking because it's something she loves and is proud of doing. Realizing that his best friend's girlfriend won't drop this he caves.

"Fine." Tyler's sighs, shaking his head like he's so put out but he kind of finds himself looking forward to it.

She gets homes, it's just turned dark when she walks inside, locking the front door behind her. She checks her phone, A message from Bonnie is scrawled across the screen saying they'll talk soon but she's going to her grams. Replying before putting her phone away. She can hear he aunt talking to someone in the kitchen but decides just to go up stairs. On her journey to her room she stops as she reaches the outside of her brother's door. She places a hand on the door handle and with the other she knocks gently on his door. Alexis waits a moment, not hearing a response means he probably isn't busy so she slowly pushes the door open to check steps in, looking around to see her younger brother sitting in an oval chair with headphones on. She thinks about it for a moment but decides for it as she walks over to him and sits down on the corner end of his bed that is closes to him. So she sits across from him, with not too much space between. He reaches up slowly and pulls the earphones from his ears when

His movements are only a little slowed and she knows what he's taken- well, actually smoked straight away. She can smell it lingering on him as well. She'll level and anchor him, like every other time. Though he doesn't need her like he has the other times, he's hardly high now, he's not curled up on the ground, he's not hallucinating, not throwing up, not scared and thinking he's going to die. She knows he's not on a bad trip, he's not into pills just pot. He's not in a bad way; he's only losing the buzz of being stoned. He only has the slight buzz off it. I's then she notices there's a bottle next to his leg on the chair, a beer bottle, up opened though but she's sure he was planning on changing that before she came in. She closes her eyes in disappointment; he's a major alcoholic she knows that his drinking is far worse than his drug habits, drugs meaning just pot. At least it isn't open. He probably just got home a few minutes before him she thinks. She wonders if he had a reason for doing that today and as she looks at him she can tell something happened though. He looks distant and upset, angry about something so she decides to distract him. But she has to ask him first.

"You okay little brother?" She asks him softly, her hand loose together in front of her while she leans forward. Jeremy doesn't look up at her when he shakes his head. Alexis presses her lips together letting a breath of air out of her nose as she looks at him. "Want to talk about it?" She suggests but he doesn't answer her. She lets out a breathe and takes this silence as 'not yet' and she's thankful it's only pot he's high on. Since telling him she's pregnant she has not encountered him high that she noticed but she knows he was drunk that night him and Tyler got in a scuffle that ended with Alexis in hospitable. She reaches out with a sigh, grabbing his arm but pausing as she gets an idea when she sees his hand, in particular the nails. "You wait right here." She tells him as her lips twitch up into a small smile and he gives her a questioning look but she just gets up, quickly leaving the room.

"Oh no." Is the first thing that comes from his lips when she comes back into the room holding a bag.

"You said I could today!" She tells him and he looks like he's about to grumble something but she just plops back down on the end of the bed, opening the bag and giving him a look. "And, Yes, I have too." Remembering what he said yesterday and he rolls his eyes fondly.

He watches her quietly as she cleans off the chipped nail polish and starts reapplying new coats of black onto them while she rambles on softly, about anything really, about her friends and her baby. It's strange, well not really, but she always is able to talk to Jeremy about things she just feels like she needs to talk through to figure out. It's mostly a one sided conversation, she often does this more so with Caroline but not really as of late, but it makes her come to clarity with her thoughts.

"That Logan guy." Jeremy speaks up capturing his sister attention as that voice is one of caution.

"What about him?" She asks, furrowing her brow yet looking strangely concerned and protective. Jeremy then goes on to tell her what happened probably only a couple of minutes before she came into his room. He had just gotten back and saw the man coming out of his room, more sneaking out. How the mans excuse was he was looking for the bathroom which made no sense since there's one downstairs and it just seemed off. Alexis finds that really strange and can see her brothers concern so she asks if he told Jenna but he hadn't so she makes a mental note to tell her tomorrow as she continues. Her job of painting his nails isn't perfect as it's becomes clear with every passing minute how tired she is. As soon as she finishes paint them she tired curls back further on his bed while he waits for his nails to dry. Jeremy looks at his sister and she's curled up on the center of his bed, looking like she's about to drift off.

"Alex?" He speaks up after a moment checking if she's awake and she grumbles in response. "You that tired?" Jeremy asks the obvious.

"Mmm. Making a baby is hard work..." She mumbles and it's like a switch has flipped, or fatigue and sleepiness just hit her and all she desires is sleep at the moment.

"You-" He starts, making a funny look but he cuts himself off, shaking his head. "Never mind." He tells her, not even making the obvious joke at her words and their double meaning. Alexis snuggles into his blankets, trying to get comfy as he stays lounged in the soft, cushioned, oval chair.

"Hey, Jer?" She speaks up, voice a mumbled softness.

"Mmm?"

"Please start trying, Jer. I need you to stick around." She sounds heartbroken but fully serious and quite as she tappers on the edge of sleep. She needs him around and he needs her. He can tell she doesn't like being alone, neither does he so even when they shut everyone else out and isolated themselves they still let each other in, they need each other. She knows that Jeremy's grief/fear isn't just because Mom and Dad died, though that was the main reason, It was also because his sisters almost died as well. Maybe it's the reason she's so soft on Jeremy because he was almost left alone in this world and for some reason Jenna and Elena never realize that, probably because it's a lesser detail but an important one all the same.

"Yeah, Yeah, Ally. I'll try." He doesn't know if it's an empty promise or not but she doesn't hear the answer as she's already asleep. He hears a door across the hall open before moments later the sound of a car starts in the drive way, he wonders why Elena's going out but he shakes his head, shaking it off, putting his headphones in and blasting music.

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed!. So obvs this is the night Elena find out so it won't be too many chapters before Alexis does. Wow so the vampire diaries has actually ended, I swear I cried throughout that whole episode and I will miss this show so much. I love the show so much so now i'm grieving but 'I was feeling epic'. Sorry if there's any mistakes, I am still crying from the final and may have missed a few errors.
