Practice was kind of fun. I got to talk to Emmett and Alice and I beat Jeremy. I could sense Edward's gaze on us, I knew he was hurting, but he'd move on. I had.
Damon helped Elena more than Stefan did, which made him happy. I don't think she minded to much either.
But even if it was fun, it took a lot out of you. I was exhausted when we were done. I was hanging on to Jeremy's arm, fighting to keep my eyes open when Alice gasped. She turned and looked Elena.
"You're going to betray us?" I looked over at her, knowing.
"What?" Elena asked, her head resting on Damon's shoulder.
"I...I saw you. With Victoria..." We all froze, even though we knew as soon as Alice spoke.
"Katherine." I murmured, holding Jeremy tighter. He put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear.
"I'll protect you."
"Wait, wait, wait. Who?" Emmett asked
"Katherine Peirce." Damon said, he'd put a protective around Elena, and Stefan didn't look too happy about it. "She's a heartless bitch that tricked me and Stefan in 1864. She hates Bella."
"Well, it's good thing you taught us to fight." Carlisle said, looking at me, worried.
"I am too tired to wrap my head around this tonight." Elena yawned.
"Same here." I said. "I haven't slept that great since I found out she was after me. And this, wore me out."
"Alright then." Jasper said, "You guys go on home, get the girls in bed. If anything becomes clearer, we'll let you know."
"Alright." Damon said. "Come on, sleepy head." He said, scooping Elena into his arms. Jeremy did the same with me and I felt...safe.
He ran me home and laid me in me in my bed.
"Jeremy?" Asked, when he tucked the blanket under my chin.
"What?" He asked.
"Will you stay with me." He looked down at me and smiled.
"Sure. Let me go get a chair from the kitchen and-"
"No." I said, grabbing his hand. "Please. I don't feel safe alone." He sighed and let his jacket slide off of his shoulders.
"Make room, little girl." He said. He laid down, on top of the blankets and put his arm around me.
I scooted closer to his and laid my head on his chest. He kissed my hair and laid his head on top of mine.
"Are you scared?" I whispered.
"No." He whispered back.
"I am."
"Don't be." He sat up and looked in to my eyes. "I will protect you, Damon, Stefan, and the Cullens will, too. You have nothing to be afraid of." His eyes burned, and he was kind of mad.
I starred at him for a second, my sleepiness gone. The fire in eyes slowly burned out and he starred back. We started to lean again and this we weren't interrupted.
The kiss start a fire in me that burned all over. My fingers locked in his hair and his were in mine. We stayed that way for a while and when we broke, we looked at each other again
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you, too."
