Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries.

Blah blah blah. Though i would love to. But sadly I don't. :( The characters and everything belong to L.J. Smith and the CW, I only own the plot, sadly.

AN: Did anyone notice Jeremy's slip in the last chapter?

Chapter 10

"Elena? What are you doing here?" (previously)

"Bonnie, I know you might hate me, or whatever but I'm putting that all past me. you have to help me!" I pleaded. I hope that Bonnie forgives me, and helps me.

"Elena, what's wrong. Here, come on inside." She said stepping away to let me in.

I shook my head. "I can't, Alaric's waiting for me." I said pointing towards his car.

"Oh. Tell me what's wrong."

"It's Jer." She had a worried look when I said it was Jer.

"What's wrong with him?"

"There's nothing wrong with him, Bonnie. It's that he's gone. Isobel came and took him. She took him because he was there next to me." Oh, Jeremy, I hope you're okay.

She had a serious look that came upon her face. "What do you need me to do?"

I couldn't think of anything to say. I don't know what she can do? All I wanted was for her to help. Maybe she would have came up with a plan of her own. I don't know.

"Why did she take him? Do you know why? Were you there? Elena? Are you listing to me?" she waved her hand in front of my face. I nodded

"Yes, I was there. I… I don't know why she took him. She just showed up at my house, Jer answered the door. She wanted me, I came to the door. I noticed Jer was standing close to her, between me and her by the door. She noticed, and then grabbed him. Told me that if I wanted him back, I had to go to her alone. Please, Bonnie help me get him back."

She nodded, and all she said was "Let me get my grimoire." And she ran inside then came back a few minutes later. We then headed to Alaric's car.

After we arrived to the Boarding House, I ran upstairs leaving Bonnie and Alaric downstairs to discuss what we will be doing. Opening the door to Damon's room, I franticly searched for my clothes. Hoping that my phone will be with them. Though I did not find them. Where did Damon put my clothes?

What was that noise? Wait, it sort of sounds like a vibrating sound. Ah, my phone! Following the sound, I had found my phone on the floor by the nightstand. Looking at it, I noticed that I had a few missed calls, some voice mails, and a few texts. Jeremy called, Caroline called and left a few voice mails and texts, Jenna called and left a voice mail, then a blocked number called, it left a voice mail. And I also got a text from some number. Maybe it was Isobel?

Finishing with checking everything, apparently, Jenna is gone on a school trip, Caroline is with Tyler now, and they are having a party. The blocked number was from my favorite person, Katherine. Not. According to her, she knows where Stefan and Damon are. But I have to see her, in order to find out where they are. And the number that text me, had sent an address. I think it was Isobel. But it said it was sent a few minutes ago. So then it must be from Isobel.

"Guys, I got an address." I called to them, as I was walking into the room that they were in.

"Does that address of yours, come with a city name, or a state name?" Alaric stated questionly.

"No, why? Wouldn't it just be somewhere here?" Why is he staring at me like I'm clueless? But then this is Isobel we are talking about. She could have easily taken him somewhere else. But where? And they're staring at me again, but I know that look. It's the I-know-where-but-you-don't look.

"So, I gather you know where he is." I stated.

They nodded their heads yes. "We do know." Alaric said.

"Elena, she took Jeremy to North Carolina." Said Bonnie.

She what! She, she, she took him to North Carolina? Why would she do that? I know it's the state under us, but still. "What." Taking a few moments I continued. "Isobel took my brother to North Carolina, and I have an address, but we still need a city name. And how did you know what state he's in?" I rambled on. But a little too fast, I'm not sure if they got all that.

"Bonnie did a locator spell" "I did a locator spell" they said together. But Bonnie continued. "and you should know by now that if I know what state he's in, I know what city he's in. Or at least know what city he's close to."

"Right. Sorry, bout that. I've just been through so much lately I forgot. Sorry Bonnie."

"I know." She said. Wait, how does she know? "How do you know, Bonnie?"

She looked like she said too much, but also guilty about something. "Bonnie?" I said again. "How do you know?" I looked at Alaric, maybe he informed her? He just shook his head no, like I didn't say anything. "Bonnie!"

"I'm dating your brother." She said it so quietly I barely caught that. I'm, brother was all I got. "What?" I asked.

"I'm dating your brother." She said louder, and more confidently.

What? She's dating my brother. Jeremy and Bonnie are together? How come I did not know about this?

"I'm sorry Elena. I hope that's okay. It's my fault you don't know. I told him not to tell you. I wasn't sure how you would take it."

"Well, I am a little shocked. But ultimately, I'm really happy for you guys." I said smiling.

"Oh, I'm so glad Elena. I thought that you would hate the idea, because we were in a fight and not talking to each other." she said honestly.

"It's fine. Just don't break his heart, Bonnie. You know what happened with Vicki and Anna."

"I won't. I promise."

"Do you really like him? I mean it's my brother. How long has this been going on?" I smiled. I'm so happy that they are together. But still it is a little weird, my best friend and my little brother.

"I really do like him, and for a little while now." she smiled. "Maybe like, okay fine a few months now." she blushed.

I just kept smiling and shook my head.

"I hate to break this little thing, whatever this is up. But we do need to leave and get the person of topic, you know?" Alaric said.

We both nodded and we all left to go to North Carolina to find Jeremy.

I wonder where my "mother" had taken Jeremy. I know I have an address, and I know that Bonnie did a locator spell, but I still don't know where exactly we are going. "Where are we going exactly?" I asked, from the back seat of Alaric's car.

"We're going to Reidsville." Alaric said for the driver's seat.

Hmmm… isn't that like almost a three hour drive? Well now, since we've been driving for what seems like forty-five minutes, I guess that it would only be about two more hours, give or take. Oh, so much fun. I thought sarcastically.

On this long drive we have ahead of us, I realized that now I have a whole lot of time to think about things. Things like; Damon, Stefan, Katherine, Isobel. And probably many more. Oh, and Bonnie and Jeremy together, and then there's Caroline and Tyler. So, the question now is where do I begin?

Gazing out the window, I watched as cars, trees, houses, and fields of over grown grass go by. Then I saw an old looking barn, and field. It took me back to when Damon had saved me from my car accident. When he had taken me to Georgia. After that thought, all I could think about was Damon. How come this keeps happening to me? Why is it lately, that all I seem to be thinking about is Damon. Damon did this, Damon did that. Damon, Damon, Damon. What about Stefan? He's the one that I love. Though he is the one that started this whole Damon thing. It is his brother. He brought him here. He's the one that can't control his blood lust. That made me have to be around Damon so much. But, Damon can.

See there I go again, thinking about Damon.

"Elena?" Bonnie called to me, breaking me out of those thoughts of Damon.

"Yeah." I said looking up at her.

She had a quizzical look upon her face, "Why do you keep mumbling Damon's name?" she asked.

Crap. Was I really saying his name out loud? "I, uh," how can I not know what to tell her? She's just looking at me waiting for an explanation. I quickly turned to look out the window again. I saw her out of the corner of my eye, roll her eyes and turn back to her seat.

Seriously, why am I still thinking about Damon? Then it came to me, like a big fat slap in the face. When I was writing in my journal, I left to go get ready to go over to the Boarding House, Damon was there. But so was someone else. He didn't know. I didn't know. Not till now. But how could I of not known till now?
