I woke up in my bed the next morning, alone. I sat up, stretching. I kicked my covers off and padded down the stairs. Everyone was in the kitchen, standing around the island.

"Hey, Hanna." Jeremy said.

"Hey, Jer. What's up?" I said. Jeremy shook his head and continued sipping his coffee. I entered the kitchen and stood by Matt.

"Hey, sleepyhead." He wispered in my ear. I just smiled at him.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked.

"We were thinking about going down to Virginia Beach for the weekend. Go to the beach, and stay in a hotel." Elena told me.

"Sounds fun, when do we go?" I asked.

"In about in an hour." She told me. I nodded, that gave me just enough time to pack. Matt would help me too.

"Who's going?" I asked.

"Everyone. You, Matt, Me, Stefan, Damon, Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Tyler, and Vicki." Elena told me. I nodded, again.

"Wanna help me go pack?" I turned to Matt.

"No." He said, smirking. I grabbed his hand.

"Let's go, Matthew."


We had my bag packed in about 20 minutes so we went to his house and got his too. We were now pulling into my driveway. We would be leaving in about 5 minutes. Everyone else was here. We walked in and everyone was in the living room. Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline on the couch, Jeremy and Tyler in the 2 loveseats, Vicki was on Tyler's lap, and Stefan and Damon were standing up.

"Ok, now everyone's here. Sleeping arrangments. Matt and Hanna, Stefan and I, Bonnie and Caroline, Vicki and Tyler, and Damon and Jeremy are alone. Sound good?" We all nodded. "Driving arrangements. Stefan, Me, Damon, Matt and Hanna in my Escape. Bonnie, Caroline, Tyler, Jeremy, and Vicki in Tyler's Saburbon." Everyone nodded.

"Let's go, peeps!" I yelled. They all laughed. Elena got in the driver seat of the car and Stefan in the passenger.

"Looks like you're in the middle." Matt smirked at me.

"What? Why me? I vote you, Matthew!" I responded, pointing at him.

"You're the smallest, Hanna. I wouldn't fit in the middle." He pointed out. I sighed and got into the middle. Matt followed behind me and we buckled our seatbelts.

"Where's Damon?" Matt asked.

"Still inside, probably." Stefan said.

"We could just leave him." I suggested. Elena turned in her seat and glared at me. I just rolled my eyes. After about 5 more minutes, Damon left the house and climbed into the car, next to me.

"Hello, gorgeous." Damon said to me as Elena pulled out of the driveway. I ignored him and tried to get as close to Matt as possible. "You know, me and you should hang out in my room tonight." He winked at me.

"Thanks, but no thanks." I told him.

"C'mon, you know you want me." He wispered in my ear.

"Dude, back off." Matt warned him. Damon smirked and raised his hand in surrender. I covered my mouth with my hand to stifle my laugh. I yawned and decided to try and sleep since it was about a 3 hour ride. I loosened my seat belt and leaned my head on Matt's shoulder. I closed my eyes and I was soon back asleep.


My eyes fluttered open to see Elena standing over me. "We're here." I nodded. I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car. I felt the heat almost immediately. It was much hotter than Mystic Falls. We were staying right on the beach too. I could here the waves crashing against the shore. I followed everyone into the hotel, carrying my bag. Elena checked everyone in. She turned around and handed everyone their room keys.

"Meet in the lobby in 45 minutes so we can go eat dinner?" Elena said. We all nodded, not in the mood to argue with her. We all piled in the elevator and pressed the button to go to our floor. It was really cramped. I was up aganist Matt's chest with Caroline next to me, pushing me into the wall. We reached the 5th floor and all got off. I followed Matt into our room.

"She couldn't at least get a room with 2 beds?" I questioned.

"Oh c'mon, it's not like we haven't slept in the same bed." He said, looking at me.

"It's not that I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you. But we're right next to Elena and Stefan." I said, giving him a look.

"Ohhh, well I think Elena has some boundaries." He said. I shrugged my shoulders. I placed my bag on my side of the bed and decided to lay down for a bit. Matt laid down next to me and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm glad we're best friends." He said.

"Me too. I have someone to protect me from scary monsters." I laughed, just joking around. But Matt didn't laugh. He actually tensed up. I pulled myself out of his arms and looked up at him.

"Are you okay?" I asked him, worried.

"What? Oh, yeah, uh, I'm fine."

I knew he was lying but I decided to let it go.

"We should go to dinner." I said. He nodded and we made our way down to the lobby.

Just because I let it go doesn't mean I'm not gonna find out what's wrong. One way or another, I will.
