Chapter X

Pearl POV

Jeremy Gilbert!

I stood there in shock staring at him. I could sense his fear. Elena noticed my discomfort and spoke.

"Hi Pearl. May we come in?" I averted my gaze to her and noticed the pleading look in her eyes. I sighed and move aside so that they could enter. Elena and Jeremy walked past me and headed into the parlor. I closed the door and followed in after them.

Anna was coming down the stairs when she saw Jeremy and immediately used her vampire speed and came to stand in front of Jeremy. I could feel a wave of anger rush over me, how could Anna be so trusting of him, he is a Gilbert! I thought to myself as I looked between them. Jeremy looked concern as he looked her in the eye and placed his hands on each side of her head, his eyes never leaving hers, as he engulfed her in a passionate kiss.


Jeremy POV

Elena came into my room this morning and said she wanted to talk. I was still angry at her for lying to me, but I listened to her none the less. She told me she knows about me reading her diary and she knows that I know about what really happened to Vicki and about Damon erasing my memories. I sat there in silence as she spoke, but when she brought up Damon, I could feel the anger rising deep within me.

After she explained herself and the time came for her to try make things better. I could still feel the anger rising, I thought she was going to give me some self -righteous bull shit about why I shouldn't see Anna, when she was doing the exact same thing I was, but instead she apologized. I was going to tell her to go to hell, when she told me about what happened to Anna and her mother last night and then I could feel my anger towards my "sister" completely disappeared as I feared for Anna's life. Elena told me she going over to boarding house to see them and I immediately got dressed and headed straight for her car.

We drove to the boarding house in silence. As we arrived I was little anxious, but that was nothing compared to the wave of fear that came over me as Anna's mother opened the door. I knew very well of Anna's mother's feelings towards me and it was clearly written on her face, that she would like nothing more than to rip my throat out.

Pearl move aside as Elena and I entered the house. I had never been in the boarding house before and to say it was amazing would have been an understatement. I walked over by to fire place when my eyes meet with Anna's as she came down the stairs. Anna came to stand in front of me in the blink of an eye and her eyes and mine meet. I was so relieved to see her, to know that she was alright. I knew that Anna's mother and Elena were still in the room, but I didn't care as I put my hands on both sides of her face and pulled her into a kiss.

Anna POV

I was so happy to see Jeremy, although the thought of my mother and Jeremy being under the same roof where no one would be able to hear his screams, scared me.

I could feel my knees go weak as Jeremy and I kissed passionately. Our tongues intertwining together perfectly and our lips pressed against each other so perfectly. We finally pulled apart and Jeremy pulled me into a hug. I buried my head into his chest as he rested his chin on the top of my head.

Pearl POV

I watched as the Gilbert boy kissed and embraced my daughter. I could feel my distrust of him slowly melting away. I looked at him and I noticed the complete devotion he had towards my daughter, maybe I was wrong. Maybe he did really love my daughter and never would hurt her.

I looked at Elena who was standing beside me, watching Jeremy and Anna. I noticed the joy and the sadness on her face. It was clear, Elena was happy Jeremy found someone who loved him, but she was worried that her brother may never forgive her for what she had done. I reached out to her and held her hand.

Elena POV

I never knew how much Jeremy loved Anna and how much Anna loved him. I was happy for Jeremy he found someone that made him happy but unlike Vicki, she did it without dragging him down, but lifting him up. Maybe Anna was all that he needed, I just hope he'll need me too. Because I need him.

I felt Pearl's hand slip into mine. I turned my head to look at her and she smiled at me. I couldn't help but feel my fears being washed away. Pearl was so understanding, it was a wonder she and Katherine were ever friends. I smiled back at her and turned my gaze to the stairs as I saw Stefan coming down the stairs.

Stefan POV

I came down stairs shortly after Elena and Jeremy arrived and saw Jeremy and Anna embracing each other. Ah young love! I thought to myself as a small smile formed on my lips. I averted my gaze to Elena smiling at me, with Pearl holding her hand.

I was a slight confused. I knew Elena and Pearl had understanding, but I didn't realize they were that close. I was worried.

"We should get going. We're going to be late!" I said as Jeremy and Anna separated and turned to look at me. Jeremy was about to protest, when Anna turned around to look back at Jeremy and spoke.

"Yeah you should go! We don't want people to get suspicious." Jeremy continued to look her in the eye pleading with her so that he could stay, when she spoke again.

"You can come back after school! We can talk then!...Okay?" Jeremy hesitated for a moment and finally nodded before he grabbed Anna and gave her a quick hug and he headed for Elena's car.

I headed for the door after Jeremy, but I looked back to notice Elena wasn't following. Pearl and Elena were still smiling at each other and still holding each other's hand, when Pearl pulled Elena into a hug and Elena hugged her back. Now I was extremely worried. Were so many people becoming a big part of Elena's life? Frist Damon, now Pearl, who's next….Harper. I need to stop this.

Elena pulled away from Pearl and began to head for the door when Pearl whispered something to her that caused her smile widened. Now I really need to stop this and I need to stop it now.


General POV

They drove to school in silence. Stefan was driving as he was busying thinking of a way to stop Elena from getting too involved with Pearl and especially with Damon. While Jeremy was sitting in the back seat frequently looking at Elena as she looked out of her window.

They arrived at school and they all exited the car. Stefan handed Elena back her car eyes as Jeremy came to stand in front of Elena and pulled her into a tight hug. Jeremy and Elena stood there holding each other for a few moments, when Jeremy pulled away and smiled at Elena and walked into the school.

Elena was all smiles as she and Stefan walked into the school. They were about to head off to class when Alaric called to them as he left the cafeteria.

"Hey Alaric!" Stefan said as Alaric led them to a secluded hallway.

"What's wrong?" Elena asked clearly sensing Alaric's discomfort. Alaric looked Elena in the eye and spoke.

"Isobel's back!"
