There Katherine stood, with a smile on her face. As if nothing happened, what made her more angry was she was standing next to Damon with her arm looped through his. She didn't bother to notice the annoyed, ticked off look he had. As calmly as she could she walked up the stairs to the front door, she stopped until she was mere inches away from her. She couldn't hear anyone talking to her, she just stared at Katherine.

"Hey-"

Everyone went quiet, Katherine's eyes went huge as a red mark showed on her cheek. Pushing her aside she walked into the house and straight into the den, she poured herself a big glass of alcohol, not caring what it was, and headed up the stairs. She slammed her bedroom door, and walked into the bathroom that was in her room and started the tub. Slowly making her way into the hot water she settled until she was comfortable and began drinking, letting her thoughts consume her as she shut her eyes.

. . . . . . .

"She is a paranoid schizophrenic. It is treatable with the right medication and therapy." John and Miranda looked at Elena, who was only 8 years old.

"Will she have to go into a home? Or asylum?"

"John!"

"What? I want to know if she needs to go some where else."

"Dad, where am I going?" It was one of her good days, and he hated when she gave him those doe eyes.

"No where sweet heart... no where.."

. . . . . . .

"April! My mom and dad are still not here, can I get a rid with you?" She ran over to her best friend April Young. They lived a few houses apart, and were friends for as long as she could remember.

"Sure, is your brother coming?" The girls hopped into the car, throwing their backpacks behind them.

"No, he went to a friends house. Kol."

"Ewwwwww." The girls giggled and talked about what they were going to do during the summer when the car stopped. Thinking nothing of it the girls began talking again until they heard Elena's name. The girls turned to face forward to Melanie, April's mom, who had tears in her eyes.

"Elena, this officer wants to take you home ok?" Elena looked out the window to see a tall officer smiling, but she still didn't want to go.

"But I want to go with you." Melanie gave a soft smile and got out of the car, she walked over to where Elena was seated and opened the door.

"Sweet heart, I wouldn't make you go if you didn't need to." Elena looked back at the officer then noticed all the lights, she started to move around to see if she could get a better look. She saw the top of a sign, 'Wickery', she knew she was on Wickery Bridge. Looking back at Melanie, she nodded her head and unbuckled her seat belt and hopped down from the car. Walking forward, she saw the police cars and ambulances. Looking at the officer who was talking to Melanie she walked forward to the cars. She saw a tow truck near the river. It was trying to take a car out of the water. Walking around the ambulance, something caught her eye, stepping back she peaked into the ambulance. She didn't hear herself scream, she didn't know she was screaming until someone had covered her eyes and carried her away. She started hitting the person who was holding her, after a few minutes they put her down, she noticed it was the officer and kicked him as hard as she could and ran back to the ambulance. She watched as the people held things, yelled at each other and to themselves. She climbed in and stood at the end of the weird bed. A loud long beep. Tears started to fall as she reached out.

"mommy?" The people in the ambulance jerked their heads up and started shouting, but she didn't hear what was said, she just kept staring at her mom, who wasn't moving or answering her, maybe she had to scream louder. "Mommy?... MOMMY! MOMMY! Wake up Mommy!"

. . . . . . . .

She jolted up, looking around the room, she was still in the tub, her glass was empty and she felt dizzy. Slowly standing up she wrapped a towel around her and took the plug out of the tub. Walking around the tub she gave a quick glance in the mirror and saw tears falling, her make up smudged and her eyes puffy and red. Sighing she walked into the room, grabbing her pajama's from last night she sat on the bed and played with her hair as she zoned out.

Before long she got irritated and hungry. Sighing she grabbed the cup and carefully walked to the kitchen. She didn't bother looking in the living room where she could hear arguing. Placing the glass on the counter she began looking in the cupboards. Nothing seemed to stand out so she looked in the fridge and found whip cream and chocolate syrup, getting excited she looked into the freezer smiled when she saw the vanilla ice cream. She made herself a big bowl of ice cream with whip cream and chocolate syrup and walked into the den, pouring herself another glass she made her way upstairs, before she got to the top she heard someone speak.

"So what, you're going to ignore me?"

"That's the plan Katherine." She kept walking up the stairs, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs, she just got to her door when Katherine appeared in front of her. "Move." Katherine folded her arms.

"You can't hit me again your hands are full." Raising her eyebrow she chugged her, what she thought was bourbon, placed it on the ground and slapped her again.

"I said move." She gave her a challenging look, what she didn't expect was a smack in return. Slowly turning her head back to Katherine, she gave a dark laugh. "Always have to have a come back." With that she turned around and walked to Damon's room.

"That's Da-"

"Damon's room? I know." Walking in she looked around and noticed he wasn't in his room, she kicked the door shut and locked it. She would apologize to Damon in the morning, right now she needed a movie and her ice cream along with the current buzz she now has. Sitting on the floor with her back against the bed she pressed play and watched Spider-man.

She was on the third movie when she heard someone sit on the bed behind her. Not caring she continued to watch the movie, until they started playing with her hair. Looking up, she saw Damon, he wasn't looking at her but at the movie. Sighing she looked back and watched the movie. After awhile she couldn't stand it.

"Why is she here?" For a brief moment he stopped playing her hair.

"I don't know why." Sitting up she turned around so she was facing and looking up at him.

"Don't lie to me. I'm already pissed at Caroline, I don't want to be pissed at you, again." He watched her for a couple minutes, not saying anything. "Are you getting back together?" He gaze a puzzled look but still didn't answer her. "Fine. Sorry about intruding." Getting up she stormed over to the door that joined their rooms.

"Elena.." She spun around and started yelling.

" I'M SICK OF EVERYONE, I DON'T WANT EVERYONE KNOWING HOW F***ED UP I AM. I ALREADY LOST BONNIE, CAROLINE IS TELLING EVERYONE, AND NOW YOU!" She took the picture off the wall and chucked it towards him. "KATHERINE THINKS IT'S A GAME, JEREMY IS DEAD, MY PARENTS ARE DEAD. I'M SICK OF IT ALL!" She grabbed another picture and threw it towards him.

"Elena, you need to calm down."

"F**K OFF STEFAN!" She didn't know what she was grabbing anymore she just started throwing anything she got her hands on.

"Elena..."

"JEREMY YOU'RE DEAD!"

"Stop it Elena!" She looked over by the bed and saw Damon wasn't there anymore, but Bonnie. She looked around and picked up a cup and threw it at her.

"GO AWAY!" Bonnie moved closer.

"Elena... Stop!" She looked at Bonnie, and went to hit her, but Bonnie caught it, giving her a sad look. "I'm sorry..."

"YOU DON'T GET TO BE SORRY!" She slowly slid to the floor, hiding her face in her hands. Bonnie crouched beside her and touched her back.

"I am sorry..." She started to cry, not knowing what to do.

"Elena?" She heard Damon's voice. But she didn't want him.

"Why'd you leave Bonnie? Why..." She felt a hand on her shoulder and didn't know if it was Bonnie's or Damon's.

"Because I didn't know how else to leave you. I couldn't... I couldn't be around you... As much as I liked you, I just kept getting reminded of my grams. It was to much..."

"You could've told me..."

"You would have thrown something at me...Like you are with Damon..."

"I don't know what to do Bonnie..."

"Trust yourself to make the right decisions Elena. Who cares if someone doesn't like what you are saying, say it. Just be you. Like you were with me, you gave me sh*t for cutting your apple the wrong way remember?" Elena giggled, recalling that morning. "I'll be here when you need me, not when you want me." After a few more minutes Elena looked up and only saw Damon. Behind him stood Caroline, Klaus and Katherine, all of them were shocked at the scene around them. Standing up, with the help of Damon, she walked over to Caroline.

"You had no right to tell Damon what is going on with me, if he wanted to know that badly he should have asked me and you should've been there for me and told him that. I... I hate that you told him, especially because you didn't know him. I also hate that you told Klaus. It's my business, not his." Caroline could only look at her hands, not knowing what to say. Elena walked over to Klaus.

"Don't be an ass. You want to know something, ask me, don't go behind my back. Got it?"

"Got it." He gave a weak smile. She looked at Katherine.

"I'll get to you in a minute." She turned around and faced Damon. "You pissed me off. Showing up after 6 years to tell me my brothers dead and you need your ex's, who is also my sister, number to tell her. Then having the guts to ask someone else what's wrong with me? I already hated you for choosing her but rubbing it in my face was low." Before he could speak she turned to Katherine.

"You." She got so close their noses were almost touching. "I don't care if you need to cry about Jeremy's death, I don't care if you don't have a house to live in. You have no right to be here, weather it's for Damon, me, or yourself. I was always jealous of you, now I just feel sorry for you. You knew that I loved Damon the moment him and his brother moved in and promised me you wouldn't go after him like the whore you are. I got over you dating him, marrying him, but cheating on him because you weren't happy? What's worse is you blame me for our parents death. I They weren't picking me up that day, they were picking you up because you 'needed' new shoes for dance. I will never forgive you for anything, and if you ask for it, it just makes me hate you more." Looking around at all of them, she hated that she said all those things, but she believed every word. "If you don't mind I'm going to bed."

"Elena.."

"Seriously Stefan, I am not in the mood." She gave him a hard glance and he gave a soft nod. She walked over to the door picked up her bowl and spoon and walked into her room, closing the door behind her. Placing the bowl on the side table she got into the bed. Pulling the blankets over her she zoned out.

"Elena.. Sleep, you need it." Looking up she saw Jeremy sitting on the end of her bed.

"Jer?"

"Yea?"

"Was I to harsh?" She looked at him and he smiled.

"Yea, but you needed to get it out, so, don't think about it."

"Will you stay until I fall asleep?"

"Of course." Looking at him once more, she closed her eyes, for once, she fell asleep peacefully.
