A lot has happened the pass couple of days at Mystic Falls. Mr. Tanner was killed by the animal that attacked me and I'm mad at Tyler for attacking my brother. A puma lion was the animal that attacked me, but I still don't believe it. They called in Vicki and I and she bought it, but I didn't. I walked down the stairs with Jeremy at my side. "How much do you think this stuff is worth? You know, like on eBay?" Jeremy asked, causing me to hit the back of his head.
"You're not going to find out." Elena scolded.
"That stuff is mom and dad's. You can't just give it away." Jeremy responded.
"I'm not giving it away. It's called a loan Jeremy." Elena spoke. The doorbell rang and Elena went to answer it. I smiled at Stefan as him and Elena went into the kitchen. We had gotten closer after Elena's dinner party. I sat next to Jenna and dragged Jeremy down with me. And by that I mean I tried to, but couldn't. So I gave him my puppy face which apparently no one can say no to. I changed the channel so Jenna wouldn't have to listen to Logan Fell and I wouldn't have to hear about the attack. It was a little uncomfortable for me to hear about it.
I walked into the Grill and smiled seeing Caroline and Bonnie in front of me. I walked over to them and sat down.
"Bonnie you can go to the Founder's Party with Sasha." Caroline told Bonnie.
"That may work out, Lily instill sick." I responded.
"Ok. And Damon's not dangerous. You know, he just has a lot of issues with his brother. You know, like major, deep-Rooted drama." Caroline told Bonnie.
"Like..." Bonnie started.
"I'm not really suppose to tell anyone." Caroline said, causing me to laugh. They looked at me oddly.
"Caroline, when have you ever kept a secret? Spill." I told her. And she did.
The doorbell rang for like the seventh billion time today. I opened the door to see Tyler. He smiled when he noticed it was me. I frowned and tried to close the door, but his foot blocked it.
"Tash, can we please talk. I'm sorry for everything! Please! It's killing me not to talk to my best friend!" Tyler begged.
"Best friend?" I asked unsure. He smiles.
"Yes, now our we okay?" He asks. I nod my head and he picks me up and spins me in a circle. When he sets me down I playfully glare at him.
"My mom also wanted me to pick up a box of stuff." Tyler tells me. Elena and Jeremy walk down the stairs and Elena hands him the box.
"Please be careful with it." Elena asks.
"Yeah, be careful with it, dick." Jeremy insults.
"Hey, not now guys!" Elena says tiredly.
"Its fine, he's just being a punk." Rebellious Tyler says.
"I got your punk." Jeremy steps forward only to be stopped by my puppy face.
"Look Tyler maybe you should go. Tell your mom I'll see her tonight." Elena speaks.
"Would it make a difference if I told you I liked Vicki?" Tyler wonders.
"Not even a little bit." Jeremy responds and he wraps an arm around my shoulder and leads me away. I wave to Tyler and he smiles and waves back.
"Jer, can you try to just ignore him?" I wonder.
"If he stops being such a dick." Jeremy tells me.
"Language." I scold. He smiles at me and throws me over his shoulder screaming the entire time up the stairs.
I was working on my English when I hear a smack. I jump up and head to Jeremy's room. "The pocket watch where is it?" Elena demands. I go to Jeremy's side and wrap and arm around him. I shoot Elena a look, telling her to be cautious. But, she seemed mad so there's no use in stopping her.
"What watch?" Jeremy asks.
"The one you stole from mom's box. Look, Mrs Lockwood just called me, freaking out. It was on the list, Jeremy. And she can't find it, and she thinks she's the one who lost it." Oh so that's what this is about.
"Maybe she did. Maybe Tyler took it." Okay Jeremy, I am gullible, but that was a terrible lie.
"Don't even play that card. Jeremy, you took it. If I go online, am I going to find it on eBay? Is that how you pay for your pot?" I flinched at Elena's words and Jeremy tightened his grip and Elena shot me a sympathetic look.
"Screw you." Jeremy goes and grabs the pocket watch. "I would never sell this." He tells her.
"Then why'd you take it?" Elena asks confused.
"Because it's supposed to be mine. Dad said it goes to the firstborn son. His father gave it to him, and now what?" Jeremy explains as he hands it to Elena. I try to keep the waterworks from flying. I still didn't like people talking about my parents.
"And he was going to give it you." Elena whispers.
"Yeah." Jeremy replied.
"Look, Jeremy, it's still yours, ok? Mom promised Mrs Lockwood. What do you want me to do?" Elena demanded.
"Just take it and get out." I pull Jeremy into a hug and then Elena's before heading back to my room.
I walked into the Lockwood's with Bonnie by my side. Our arms were locked and Mrs. and Mr. Lockwood spot me and come to my side instantly.
"Oh my god Natasha dear, I'm so sorry about your attack. If you weren't taking Tyler home, that wouldn't have happened." Mrs. Lockwood rushes out.
"Its fine." I tell them simply.
"No, it's not, just let us know if you need a favor or anything for that matter." Mr. Lockwood tells me. I smile and nod knowing you should never argue with a Lockwood.
Bonnie laughed as soon as we walked away and I blushed. Bonnie and I walked over to a table and sat down. The candle goes out and it magically turns itself on again.
"What was that?" I gasp.
"What?" Bonnie asks.
"That candle came back on." I said.
"I think that medicine of yours may have side effects." Bonnie tells me.
"Yeah that's probably it." Someone put their hands on my shoulders and I smiled when I saw it was Lily. I hugged her.
"Are you feeling better?" I asked as I inspected her.
"Yeah, the cold passed." Lily confirms.
"Mind if I steal your date?" Lily asks Bonnie. She smiles and nods. We head to the dance floor and well... dance.
"Jenna, Sasha! Are you aware of what's going on upstairs?"Elena questioned.
"Uh-huh." Jenna responded plainly.
"Vicki's borrowing my hairband." I told Elena.
"And you guys have no objection?" Elena demanded to know.
"He could be craftier about it, at least make an effort to sneak her in and out. Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner." Jenna told us.
"Oh, so you're actually going to do it. You're gonna go out with Logan." Elena seemed surprised. I gave Jenna a reassuring hug.
"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes. And have you heard from Stefan?" Jenna pondered.
"Not since he left that very vague message three days ago. "Hi, um, Elena, I, um, have something I have to do. I'll, uh, explain in a few days." I giggled at Elena's Stefan expression. I hugged her like I did Jenna.
"I'm sure it'll get better. It's hard to take in how amazing you are, he just needs a little time." I told my sister.
"Thanks, Sasha." She responded.
"Anytime, I'm got to get to school early to help Caroline pass out flyers." I then walked up stairs and walked into my bedroom. I changed quickly into a pair of regular jeans and a flowery top. I heard Caroline honk I skipped downstairs and into her car. I smiled once I saw Caroline, who smiled in return. I had heard of her and Damon's falling out and according to Girl Code she's in denial.
"So Tashy, excited for the car wash? I've seen you in a bikini, I may just have you pointing a sign to the car wash. That's sure to get customers." Caroline complimented. I blushed.
"Thanks Carie." I responded.
"You got it you little sex goddess."
"The sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band. Just the ones who could pull off the bikini. I want, in your face, sexy. I mean, it's a fund raiser, for god's sake." Caroline shouted in the hallway. I was getting frustrated as several guys have come up to me and Caroline making sure we were coming. Caroline flirted back and I just gave them a straight answer trying to show them I wasn't interested. Sure, I had a boyfriend before, but I'm not looking right now. Caroline spotted Stefan and walked over there with a frown. I followed after her, on her heels.
"Stefan, where is Damon? He has some serious apologizing to do." Caroline asked. I frowned. I felt for her I really do.
"He's gone Caroline." Stefan seemed happy about this.
"When is he coming back?" Caroline asked hopefully.
"He isn't coming back Caroline, I'm sorry." Stefan told her.
"This is a good thing Caroline." Elena tried to comfort her.
"I know that." She responded.
"Come on girl." I pushed into the girl's restroom. I locked the door and checked the stalls and as soon as I did I hugged Caroline. She cried into my shoulder.
"I know Damon was terrible for me, but I can't help but miss him." She sobbed.
"I know sweetheart." I just held her for a while longer.
I walked out of school, but was stopped by a voice."Natasha?" A voice interrupted. My head snapped up to see Stefan.
"I'm trying to make things up with Elena and I was going to uh make um dinner, but I uh..."
"I'll cook her favorite."
It was the day of the sexy suds and I was in a black bikini top and black, ripped shorts that barley covered me. I stood next to Elena who was still fully dressed. "No friend discounts. No freebies. No pay ya laters. We are not running a charity here. No, we are not." Caroline instructed.
"No we are not." Elena mocked slightly. Elena then smiles once she sees Stefan coming up.
"Hi."Stefan starts.
"Hey!" Elena says cheerfully.
"I'm gonna go over there." I state awkwardly. I almost laughed when Caroline told Elena and Stefan to strip.
I was washing a car when Stefan walked up to me. "Hey, have you seen Elena?" he asks.
"No, not for a while." I tell him. I'm lying terribly and I'm pretty sure he can see through it.
"Your lying aren't you?" It's not my fault Elena told the girl who can't lie and cracks easily!
"She went somewhere with Logan Fells. That's all I know." I say quickly before walking away. Aren't I an amazing sister.
"Hey, Tash can you describe your attacker for me?" Elena asks.
"W-why?" I still don't like to think of the attack.
"Just wondering."
"Raven black hair and icy blue eyes. He had a leather jacket on. I know I sound ridiculous, but think of Stefan's brother and that's him." I joke.
"What?"
"Damon looks like my attacker, but I'm probably just hallucinating."
"I'm gonna go met up with Bonnie." She says with her eyebrows scrunched up.
I sat in the coffee shop with my headphones plugged in and music blaring. I was working on one of my drawings when Lily approached me.
"Hello, Miss Waitress." I teased. She glared.
"Shut up. I heard about this cool coffee shop up in Richmond. Wanna head up there tomorrow?" Lily asks.
"Sure, sounds good."
"Oh and what's with your sister and vampires?" I freeze.
"What do you mean?" I whisper.
"Her and Stefan were talking about them when I brought their drinks up." She says as she walks away.
I held up one of my shirts for about the tenth time. I was trying to decide between a white, long sleeved shirt that was transparent in the back or a yellow v-neck. I decided on the white top and then brushed my hair. I heard Lily honk her horn and I rushed down stairs. I got in the car and we jammed to a marathon of Radiohead and the Foo Fighters.
Once we pulled up into the coffee shop we took it all in. It truly was amazing. I walked threw the door admiring all of the glass. A few people stared at us weirdly and some stiffened. A little odd, but eh were country folks. We walked up to the counter and the coffee buy turned around with a smile, but his eyes then widened.
"H-hey, welcome. What can I get you ladies." Defiantly a weird coffee shop. I stepped up first.
"I'll get an iced chai." I said simultaneously to the guy in the other line. I smiled sheepishly at him as the guys got to work on our orders. Lily mouthed hot to me and pushed me towards him.
"Hey, I'm Slater." He started.
"Natasha." I replied.
"Pretty name and a girl with a good taste in coffee to match." He joked. I laughed at his pathetic joke.
"So do you come here a lot?" He asked a little awkwardly.
"No, my friend heard about it from her cousin."
"Whose her cousin?"
"Alice." His jaw clenched.
"What?"
"Just my ex."
"Oh..."
"Yeah..."
"Wanna sit down?" I offered.
"Sure."
Slater and I talked for a while now and we got close. He was a brilliant man and was pretty damn smart. Lily actually left a while ago and I was gonna spend the night at Slater's house. I was not a girl to do it on the first night, just letting you people know. I can say he's pretty damn hot. He walked me back to his place, but only after we watched the sun come down at the coffee shop.
"Why didn't you want to leave until the come went down?" I asked as we walked.
"I don't have a daylight ring." He replied plainly.
"Huh?" Alright, now I'm lost.
"You know, it prevents vampires from burning in the sun."
"V-vampire?" I whispered. His head snapped towards me.
"You didn't know." I started to back away, but he grabbed my arm.
"You're a vampire. Damon's a vampire, Stefan probably is too."
"Hey, hey stay with me. I'm not gonna hurt you. Just let me explain things."
