Tyler POV

The rest of the day seemed to drag on forever. All I kept thinking about was Jeremy and normally I would be able to combat the things that plagued me but this, this wasn't normal. I need answers if only Mason was still around. That last thought made me shiver, I quickly brushed it off. I hadn't run into Jeremy all day long, it felt as if he was avoiding me and this feeling made me feel even worse than anything else. Ugh can I just go back to being myself, and just not give a fuck about this kid. The answer was obviously no.

After school I stuck around a bit, seeing as I couldn't wait till six. But I couldn't find a trace of Jeremy anywhere. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted the usual gang of Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, and the asshole brother of his and I quickly made into the car. Just as I was ready to pull off Matt knocked on the window.

"Hey bro, I haven't heard from you all day, are you coming over later?" Damn I had forgotten that I had made plans with Matt to hang out.

"Uh I'm going to need a raincheck on this one man, sorry I forgot that I had this thing planned tonight." He looked at me unsure.

"Are you okay man, you seem frustrated is it some kind of date thing,"

"Yeah don't worry about it I'm fine it's not a date" at least that's what I thought.. "I'll text you later," and with that Matt didn't probe any further and walked away. Is it that noticeable, my frustration? I let out a groan and drove home.

Jeremy POV

I managed to avoid Tyler all day which itself was a mission. This whole thing was beginning to make me dizzy and I just wanted to be over it already. I couldn't help but feel excited and a little taken aback. We barely said anything this morning to each other but the mindless staring seemed to spell out enough. Tyler Lockwood has a thing for me. This thought should never exist but it conveyed what was reality. Or at least what I want to become reality. He's not being an ass anymore he's more flustered if anything. I hoped that wherever we ended up going tonight, would set all these feelings straight and that hopefully I would be able to put aside all this Tyler nonsense. I don't even know what to wear tonight because I don't even know where I'm going. After trying on almost everything I owned I settled for a black Henley shirt and black jeans. I figured all black would suffice for this date. Date? Where did that come from? I looked in the mirror and sighed, it's going to be a long night.

After what seemed like an eternity my phone buzzed.

Omw do you need more time?

I look at the time 5:34pm, Uhh hes a little early isn't he?

I text back,

No need I'm ready, how did you get my number btw..

Long story, I'll be there in 5.

I placed my phone in my pocket and headed downstairs. Thankfully Elena was in her room on the phone and Jenna was off running errands, no one would question me.

As soon as I see the car pull up I slowly close the door behind me so that Elena wouldn't come checking. Trying to buy some time even though shell surely text me in a few wondering where I've gone to. I had more than enough time to come up with an excuse. Sometimes I wished that they could just give me some space to do what I wanted.

Tyler POV

As soon as I pulled up all my tensions seemed to melt away. Jeremy slowly eased out of his house, I imagine as to not alert anyone that he was stepping out. I let out a chuckle. I managed to leave the house with only a glance from my mother. It seemed that she wanted to question me but I guess she figured that it wouldn't matter. Jeremy looked great in his all black, I wondered slightly if it was a symbol of what he thought tonight would end up. I went for a black V-neck shirt and some blue jeans, I figured it would suffice for where we were headed. Jeremy climbs in,

"A little early aren't we?"

His voice full of amusement and a hidden question somewhere.

"I was ready and figured it would be fine, I offered to wait longer if you weren't ready.." I said trying to hide my disdain.

"No it's totally cool, I was ready anyways," He grinned. His smile I could get used to.

"Now how did you manage to get my number?" I hoped he wouldn't ask that.

"I stole it from Vicki's phone when we had those issues, I was pissed and had a few things to say but I didn't" I figured honesty is best.

He stood quiet for a second and then turned to me and flashed a smile that seemed to stretch from ear to ear. "You suck, you know that right." I grinned, "yeah, yeah"

After driving awhile and listening to the music, I was genuinely amused at Jeremy's excitement that he knew and listened to some of the same stuff. Both of us consumed in each other's presence and the good energy that filled every inch of the car. Singing loudly, horribly at that.

"Those totally aren't the lyrics man" Jeremy laughing at my mistakes causing me to blush.

"Yeah, yeah it's been awhile since I've heard it," I smile widely.

"Whatever you say Lockwood,"

We pull up at the old Lockwood property, I kind of regretted bringing him here now that I see this place it looks creepy and depressing and it's a total shift from the mood earlier.

"Sorry if this isn't what you had in mind, I like to come here when I have a lot on my mind it allows me to release whatever is draining me. Or to not think at all." I said hoping I didn't upset him.

"I don't mind, I used to come here too or the lake for similar effect. Sometimes even though I'm surrounded by so many people that I love, I often find myself alone and I just go out and drink or just do things alone." As he said this I couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid. Whatever I was feeling must have shown, because he quickly blushed and looked away.

"What are we doing Tyler?" his words barely audible. I stood quiet because I didn't know myself.

A few minutes passed and he looked at me and smiled and at that moment my heart began racing and my body seemed to release an endless amount of endorphins. It stirred something inside me that seemed all too familiar and for a second I didn't care about anything anymore. This was meant to happen and he knew that, the wolf inside stirred and purred. I began to move in closer to him my body moving on its own accord. I reach the front of him and wait for him to look up. His body tense he looked so exposed, so helpless and at that instant he finally looks up and meets my eyes. Those beautiful dark rich brown eyes. My last thought before I pulled his face in and claimed his lips as mine.
