MINE!: Bad Day, Sad Day, Mad Day

Jeremy was lying on his bed late at night, a large smile on his face. It'd been a day since the completing of the Mating and everything was still fresh on Jeremy's mind. Jeremy couldn't stop staring at the band on his finger, rolling it, touching it, just staring at it. He couldn't believe that he was currently engaged to Tyler Lockwood, as in thee Tyler Lockwood.

Jeremy couldn't stop smiling to himself. He also constantly looked at the armlet Tyler had given him before and his smile would grow bigger. Jeremy knew that with the new development in his relationship with Tyler, he could not continue things with Mike. It really wasn't fair on the guy. Mike was a really nice guy, and he deserved someone… better, someone who wasn't Mated to someone else on the side.

Jeremy let out a sigh. He seriously needed to break up with Mike before anyone else found out about his growing relationship with Tyler and blabbed. Jeremy's cellphone started ringing. He looked at the caller ID'd and found that it was Tyler. He smiled happily, picking up the phone and answer.

"Hello?" he said.

"Hey sexy…" Tyler replied on the other end. Jeremy blushed, biting at his bottom lip at the greeting—he wondered when he'd turned into such a blushing virgin, but then again, Tyler had that effect on everyone.

"Did you need something?"

"Yes… My mother wants to meet you… officially."

"Um…"

"She knows that we're engaged, Jer. I also told her about our Mating."

"Right…" That wasn't weird at all, nope, not at all.

"Relax, Jer. It'll be fine."

"Of course it will."

"Get ready. I'm coming to pick you up."

"What? Why? For what?" Tyler chuckled.

"I'm coming to pick you up Jeremy, just get ready. I'll be there in ten."

"Ty— —" But Tyler hung up.

Jeremy sighed. There was nothing he could do. He had to get ready to go whether he wanted to do this or not. Jeremy was about to put his phone down when it beeped. He looked down to find that it was a new number. Jeremy opened the text.

I warned you about being with Tyler, Gilbert! I told you to stay away from him! But you didn't listen did you? You thought you'd be smart about it didn't you? You thought you could fool me by acting like you and Tyler still hate each other, by avoiding each other, continuing your fake relationship with Michael Cowry. But let me tell you now, you're not that smart. You're a stupid dumb faggot whore! I know that you're busy conniving with Tyler behind high school dance banners! And that armlet you're wearing… You know it doesn't belong to you. You better hope I don't catch you wearing it again. So I tell you this nicely Jeremy Gilbert, this is your last warning. If you don't leave Tyler alone, I swear I will make your life a LIVING HELL! This is the last time I'm warning you… KEEP AWAY… Or else!

Jeremy felt his whole body grow cold. This could not be happening. Was she being for real? Was she really serious about this? Was she seriously threatening him right now? Jeremy let out a deep breath and deleted the message, putting his cellphone down on the bed side table. He realised he was shaking. Jeremy sat down on his bed breathing in and out deeply; he could feel the tears stinging in his eyes.

The blond blinked and the tears slid down his face. He got up and went and locked his door then took off his ring, Tyler's armlet and his clothes—leaving on only his boxer shorts—then got into bed, curling up into a ball and tears rolling from his eyes.

ooooo

"Jeremy! Jeremy, open this door right now! Jeremy!" Jeremy opened his eyes slightly. They hurt from all the crying he'd been doing. His head was throbbing painfully, and his nose was stuffy. "JEREMY!"

Jeremy looked at the clock to find that it was just past three in the morning. He wondered why he was being woken at this time of the night, why anyone in their right minds would be up right now.

"JEREMY!" Jeremy sighed and forced himself out of bed. He knew Elena wouldn't leave him alone. With a sigh, Jeremy picked up the ring and armlet from the floor and shoved them deep in his bedside table. "Jeremy, open the damn door!" Jeremy unlocked the door and opened it to find both Elena and Jenna at the door.

Elena didn't even say anything; she just pulled Jeremy into a hug. Jeremy wasn't sure what it was for but he let himself be held and he felt the tears flow out again, he hadn't even thought he'd be able to produce more tears from the crying he'd been doing all night, but he'd just proven himself wrong.

"What's wrong, Jer? You've been crying all night. I could hear you. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Jeremy lied, gasping through sobs.

"It's not 'nothing'. Please tell me. Does it have anything to do with Tyler? Is that why he was here earlier?" Jeremy shook his head, lying some more. He had to lie, he couldn't not lie.

"No."

"Then what is it? You were so happy earlier, Jer, why are you crying? Did something happen with Mike?"

"No Elena, it's… it's nothing."

"It's not nothing if it's keeping you up all night. Talk to us, Jeremy, we're here for you." Jeremy shook his head, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't tell them the truth. They weren't ready for the truth, not yet.

"It's nothing." Elena sighed then pulled her brother to his bed. She got them inside and held him close.

"Try and get some sleep, okay?" Jeremy nodded then closed his eyes, slowly began to sleep by his sisters soft pats on his back.

–?–

Tyler was walking around his school with no particular destination. He'd decided to come to school early to avoid his mother asking him why Jeremy hadn't come over for dinner the night before. He didn't really have an explanation for her—he didn't even know why Jeremy had been a no show when he'd agreed that he'd go to the stupid dinner. Tyler had gone over to Jeremy's only to be told off by Elena, so he hadn't gotten an answer then.

Tyler continued to walk around the school. He was hoping to spot Jeremy at some point, to ask him what had happened. As Tyler was walking, he spotted Stacey with Cowry. Tyler frowned, wondering why they'd be together since really, they were pretty opposite type people. He walked closer, though keeping out of site. He used his heightened senses to listen in on the conversation Mike was having with Stacey.

"So you know what to do?" Stacey asked. Mike nodded once more.

"Yes, I got it," he replied easily.

"Well… What must you do?"

"Get Jeremy to the woods."

"Before that?"

"Get Jeremy to tell Tyler he's going to the woods."

"And?"

"Make sure that Tyler follows Jeremy to the woods."

"And why would have Jeremy been in the woods in the first place?"

"A party."

"Good boy. Now then, I have some things to get ready. I'll call you later so you can pass on the information."

"Sure. So what do I get out of this again?"

"We'll see. Later." Tyler rushed away as Stacey was about to leave.

WTF?! Were Stacey and Mike the one's after Tyler? Were they the threat? It could be possible right? It could happen that Mike only showed interest in Jeremy because he needed to get closer to Tyler… in order to do something to Tyler.

Mike and Stacey must've known before that Tyler had romantic feelings for Jeremy. They must've known that Tyler wanted Jeremy. But how? How could they have known that when nobody else had? They must've known about Jeremy's feelings for Tyler too, why else would Mike suddenly be interested in Jeremy when Jeremy hadn't told anyone that he was bi. And most importantly, why were they after Tyler?

Tyler sighed, shaking his head in confusion and made his way into the school, waiting for Jeremy or Bonnie to arrive. The bell rang and neither showed up, so Tyler had no choice but to go to class and just wait till lunch to talk to one of the two.

ooooo

The whole day Jeremy and Bonnie had been a no show. Tyler had tried to call them a number of times but neither picked up. Even Elena and Stefan were missing that day and that worried Tyler more than anything. He would've much preferred to be told of by Elena if he asked about Jeremy, but even she'd been a no–show and Tyler wondered if maybe something had happened to Jeremy—that thought scared him like nothing else.

During the day Stacey had disappeared too then shortly after, so had Mike. Tyler had wanted so badly to skip school and go to Jeremy's to see if he was okay. But he knew he couldn't risk that. He didn't want to make the mistake of outing Jeremy… not yet anyway. He had to be careful for the time being, had to find out more about Mike and Stacey and how the hell they were connect and only after he was sure then he'd be able to protect Jeremy from them.

Tyler was brooding by his locker when Caroline walked over to him, her usual bright smile on her face. Tyler frowned but said nothing to the bubbly blonde.

"Tyler…" Caroline said in a sweet as honey voice.

"Caroline…" Tyler replied in a semi–annoyed voice.

"What's wrong, Wolfie? You seem down."

"I'm not down."

"Then what's wrong?"

"Have you seen Bonnie today?" Tyler figured this was the safest question. Caroline frowned, looking around the hall.

"No actually, I haven't. But she called saying she wasn't coming to school today, had some things to do, whatever that meant. Elena also said she wasn't coming. Apparently Jeremy was having a bad night and he hardly slept so she's staying home with him and Jenna to look after him. Poor kid… I wonder what's wrong." Tyler's heart clenched painfully. So there was something wrong with his Mate.

"So he isn't at school today either." Tyler tried to make this statement sound as emotionless as possible, but he wasn't sure he succeeded because Caroline looked at him carefully. Tyler fought the urge to look away, instead looking right at the girl.

After a moment, Caroline's shoulders slumped and she replied, "Yep, him too."

"Oh… Are you going to see Bonnie later?"

"No. She's busy practising her weird voodoo thing, so she doesn't want to be disturbed."

"Oh… Right… Thanks."

"Why the sudden interest in everyone? I thought you were…"

"'In love with a guy'? Yes. But that's beyond the point. Just tell Bonnie I need to speak to her."

"Sure thing. Later, Ty."

"Bye, Caroline." Caroline rushed off to talk to some random girl Tyler didn't know and didn't remember ever seeing around the school. As Tyler made his way out the school, his cellphone started ringing. He pulled it out his pocket to find it was Jules. "What?"

"How would you like to go out tonight? Just you and me?" Jules asked.

"What the hell for?"

"For fun! Dah! Just get your ass to your house, we're going out!"

"Right…" Tyler hung up and got into his car, figuring he'd tell Jules about what he'd heard.

Jeremy had spent most of the day at home. Elena and Jenna had been there with him all day. Having spent most of the night crying, Elena and Jenna had decided he should stay home for some rest. Jeremy had felt bad that he was keeping his sister and aunt away from their boyfriends but he really did need some comfort, and at that moment, Elena and Jenna were there for him, neither one leaving the house, always being around Jeremy and the teen was grateful for that.

Not going to school had seemed like a good plan because Jeremy would be able to avoid Tyler all day. Tyler had tried to call a few times but Jeremy had ignored all the calls. He really didn't want to have to explain anything to Tyler about the day before. He did feel bad that he'd stood Tyler up, but still…

Jeremy was sitting in the kitchen with Elena. She was currently making them dinner—Jenna was out with Alaric, he'd finally convinced her to go (after she'd ignored his call a third time).

"Jer…" Elena said carefully. She'd been trying to get her brother to speak since the morning, but the boy still wouldn't budge. "Please, talk to me. I'm here for you."

"I know," Jeremy said quietly. "I just don't want to talk about it yet." Elena sighed, nodding.

"Whenever you need to talk, I'll be here for you, okay?" Jeremy smiled at his sister and nodded. "Good. Here, eat up and go get some sleep okay?"

"Thanks, Elena."

"That's what older sisters are for." They both smiled then.

The doorbell rang.

"I'll go get it." Elena left the kitchen and went to answer the door. Jeremy's curiosity got the better of him and he too went to see who was at the door.

"Bonnie?" Elena said, surprised to see her best friend at the door since they hadn't spoken much in such a long while. Bonnie walked into the house and smiled at Jeremy.

"Hey, Elena, um… can you do me a favour?"

"Yeah… Sure." Bonnie looked over at Jeremy slightly. Elena understood. "Come up to my room."

"Cool," Bonnie said, following Elena up the stairs. Jeremy sighed and went to the kitchen and began eating his dinner.

Four hours and thirty–seven minutes is how long Elena and Bonnie's conversation was. Jeremy was practically dying of curiosity. He'd wanted—a number of times—to just go up to Elena's room to find out what was going on, but he'd thought better of it.

He figured that maybe the two girls were discussing some girl stuff that he would not want to hear about that. Jeremy had grown bored of waiting for Elena and Bonnie to finish talking so then he'd decided to just go to bed. As he made his way up he was met by Elena and Bonnie heading out Elena's room and going downstairs.

"Going to bed?" Elena asked. Jeremy nodded. "Good night then."

"Night, Elena. Night, Bonnie."

"Night Jeremy," Bonnie said. Jeremy made his way to his room. He got into bed and in no time at all was fast asleep…
