Chapter 13

Electric Avenue

Jeremy and Tyler decided to walk to Jeremys' house since the school was only 5 minutes away. The weather was nice. Just like October; the wind was everywhere and gave the orange and red leaves graceful motion. Autumn was Jeremys' favourite time of year. It made it even better to have Tyler there. Their connection was surprisingly calm. They each talked about how there day was, if anything major happened, and all Tyler told him was everything but the most important thing.

They had all ready talked about it before, that Jeremy just wasn't ready to tell other people. So Tyler was going to wait and tell him that he all ready had. With a jock, no less. I just hope he doesn't get mad.

As they walked to the house they were smiling and laughing about something one of them had said earlier. Their connection was so new to them. Neither had expected the other to be so funny. But they weren't aware that when they were walking after school, they were being watched.

From the window in the front of the house Stefan stood there watching the new couple playfully joke with each other. His eyes narrowed on to the two and his brows furrowed together trying to make sense of the newly proclaimed friendship between them. It didn't take him long to be suspicious. He knew it really was none of his damn business, but Jeremy was still Elenas brother and Stefan was just concerned. The usual "Stefan" emotion.

Stefan continued to watched them as they grew closer and closer to the house. But that wasn't the only thing that they got closer to. Their hands had gotten closer as well. As did their bodies, and faces. The two boys hadn't kissed but they got closer than any 2 straight guys ever should get. Immediately Stefans' face had a look of shock. His forehead had gotten all bunched up and his eyes almost popped from their sockets. I mean, he just saw Jeremy Gilbert and Tyler Lockwood ghost lips in the middle of the street! That was so not normal.

Just as Stefan turned from the window still shocked from what he saw, Elena had been standing there looking at him. She couldn't have seen the same thing because the window wasn't wide enough from the angle she was at, but she did notice him staring at something. Her bright smile had filled the room and weakened just a bit when she saw Stefan recover from the newest discovery.

"What'd do you see, babe?" Elena had brought a bowl of popcorn from the kitchen and sat it on the coffee table.

"Um, oh. Nothin', just uh, Tyler and Jeremy. Walkin' down the street." He cleared his throat.

"Yeah it's weird. I guess they're bffs now." Her face had twisted slightly but managed to form a smile. She was happy for her brother. He was finally socializing with someone who wasn't a druggie, former-druggie, or vengeful vampire. (Hey, she had only seen the worse from Anna. Hotel room?)

"So he's told you about them?" Stefan hadn't thought about the possibility of Elena all ready knowing about the two. And that he was just late getting to the gossip mill.

Elenas' eyes were always so easy to read. She was confused.

"Well, just that it started a few days ago. Maybe last week?"

"So they've done that before?" Stefans' thumb was pointed behind him directed to the window.

"What are you talkin' about?" At this point, the girl was more confused than ever.

"They weren't, I mean like, kissing. But they got awfully close."

Okay, she had no idea. Great job, Stefan. Hey? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Tyler just wanted to see what scent of chap stick Jeremy used.

"What! Out there? On the street! When? Just- Just now?" She rushed to the window and all she saw was the two boys just walking to the house like a normal pair of friends.

"Stefan, are you sure? Like, how close are we talking?" She held up her two index fingers close to one another. Apparently she hadn't held them close enough because her vampire boyfriend walked over and put them...even closer.

He could hear her swallow hard. Oh, boy.

Elena sat at the dining room table waiting for the next time Jeremy would come downstairs. She wanted to ask him what was going on as soon as he entered the door. But she just couldn't in front of Stefan. She knew Jeremy would never be honest if there was an audience.

However, when she heard two sets of footsteps walking down the stairs she was shocked to learn that they were Tylers'. Where did he come from?

She quickly stood up and had to catch her breath before saying something entirely inappropriate. "Uhh, hey Jeremy?" The next words that came out of her mouth were totally unscripted.

"Are you seeing anyone?" Damn.

Jeremy struggled to draw a smile on his face as he looked attentively at his sister. He made sure not to even look in Tylers' direction. Instead, he looked everywhere else.

"Uhh," an awkward chuckle came from his lips.

(Okay, so Tyler knew that Jeremy was going to say no. But what Jeremy said after that, really pissed Tyler off.)

Jeremys' eyes looked dead into Elenas' and he said to her,

"Nope. No one special, anyways."

Oh - no he di-idn't!
