Chapter 2

Anna moved to Jeremy's window immediately. Jeremy heard her. She was sure of it. Or maybe she imagined his response. Thoughts flickered in her mind. Although, she realised, if Jeremy did hear her, that meant they had a moment's connection. Jeremy must have been thinking about Anna. Anna pushed the selfish thought out of her head. Sadness crossed her face. She always knew Jeremy was the one. No matter how cheesy it may have sounded, she felt herself be 'free' when she was around Jeremy. You shouldn't eavesdrop, dear Anna. She heard her mother's voice in her head. Anna found it extremely immature to debate with a ghostly imagination of Pearl. Someday, she thought, I will be re-united with you Mama. But, now, Anna listened intently.

Anna picked up a female voice. She was confident it belongs to Bonnie. In fact, it would have made sense as Jeremy started spending more time with her. It was entirely a good friendship they share, but there were occasional hints of romance and lust. This caused Anna to stiffen and her muscles to tense. I am not jealous. She reminded herself.

"Is Elena home yet?" Bonnie asked.

"No. She said she'll be here in an hour." Jeremy moved from the bed and joined Bonnie, who seated comfortably on the floor. "Jenna and Alaric went out for dinner. I ordered some pizza for later." Jeremy exhaled.

Bonnie felt her cheeks blush. "Not one's home?" She wanted the feeling to go away. The feeling that made her want to be held in his embrace. But Bonnie knew better; Elena was her best friend. She couldn't do that to her.

"Is that a problem?" Jeremy looked up, noticing Bonnie's eyes dart from him back to the books. Elena's best friend. He recited to himself.

"No, no. It's just that I'm not that powerful to protect both of us." She smirked. She lied. She was powerful enough to protect both of them. But, if it comes to the worst, she would save Jeremy first.

"Ah, well, you don't have to worry about me Bonnie" Jeremy exclaimed, lifting his hand and rotating his thick ring in his fingers. "I've got this." He smiled.

The bell disrupted the gaze both were exchanging. Jeremy got up and went downstairs to open the door. Bonnie, shortly afterwards, followed.
