And thank you to all those that reviewed, you made me smile. :) Including SnowWhiteQueen21, who actually found some mistakes in my other two chapters…I am too lazy to fix them…but I know their there xD.

Elena turned from the door and gave Damon a look before heading toward the bed to clean up.
"What?" He stared at her with innocent eyes. Stefan followed Elena and picked up some of the clothes. "How was I supposed to know that Jenna would've been so tense about it?"
"Don't lie," Elena took the clothes and put them in their hangers. Jenna had been so stressed as to what to wear, refusing the gift from Alaric's family. She was afraid of how it would come off that she didn't wear a dress of her own. But she ended up wearing it anyways. "You know how much my aunt doesn't like your comments. Especially since you constantly direct them at her."
"And not to mention, she doesn't know about what actually happened last night," Stefan said. He started taking the makeup that had been laid out on the bed. "Which was definitely not amazing."
"Hey, it was amazing. Who knew Caroline had the guts?" Damon smirked and walked toward the dresser where Jenna had been standing. Elena shook her head before taking the makeup from Stefan and putting them in the top drawer of the dresser.
"Well at least she didn't see their reaction to her comment." Elena sighed. "I'm starting to think we should tell her. You know, about vampires and all that. We can't keep her in the dark much longer. She's starting to remember things."
"What about Matt?" Damon asked
"We shouldn't tell him about vampires. I don't want him to freak out." Elena closed the drawer and leaned against it. Damon had an expression on his face that instantly got Elena on guard. "What is it?"
"Well, urm, I had a few moments with Matt…alone, and I might have told him about…me." Elena and Stefan both stared at him in disbelief. "Well, I didn't tell him about Stefan or anything! Just me. You know, He was bugging the shit outta me and I had to something."
"Ugh! Damon!" Elena and Stefan exchanged a look, while Damon just gave them an innocent shrug.

'You're a falling star
You're the getaway car
You're the line in the sand
When I go too far
You're the swimming pool
On an august day
And you're the perfect thing to say'
"And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute. Oh, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do," Jenna started giggling as Alaric went into off key singing of the Michael Bublé song on the radio. "What? It's a catchy song!"
"I love the song, but you need to get some singing lessons!" Jenna watched through her window as the Mystic Falls sign passed them by. "How long exactly is it going to take for us to get to the restaurant?"
"We're about 20 minutes away from the restaurant, which is half an hour away from where we're staying at. It's one of my family's houses. We used it for vacations a lot when I was younger. Apparently they still use it."
Jenna smiled, but was confused as to what he meant by 'one of my family's houses'. Did he really have more than two houses? She found that odd, but then again, he wasn't from a small town like Mystic Falls.
Alaric used the silence as an excuse to start singing the verse they were at, except it wasn't so off key this time. "You're every line, you're every word, you're everything. You're every song, and I sing along, cause you're my everything," He kept one hand on the steering wheel, glanced at Jenna, and took her hand in the other.
"Ah, so the history teacher can sing," Jenna said, trying not to blush. This was the closes she's been to a serenade from a boyfriend. Both Logan and John were too full of themselves. Logan had been cheating on her and John; well…he was the result of a drunk night gone wrong. Of course it was a continuous affair. But Jenna had been young and couldn't tell what real love was.
Jenna looked over at Alaric, who was squinting through the fog that billowed above the road. Did she love Alaric? Not that teen angst love that she had with both John and Logan, but really love him?
Alaric jerked the car to a stop, breaking Jenna's thoughts.
"Rick? What is it?" Alaric was looking straight ahead at a figure that stood almost 20 feet from the car. It wasn't moving and the moonlight did little to help him see who or what it was.
"I don't know…but," The figure ran off into the woods beside them. At a speed that would suggest it was a vampire… "Nothing. How 'bout driving over the speed limit. We're late, for an important date," He gave Jenna a half smile, trying to hide his worries. Jenna could tell that something was bugging him. But she wasn't going to push it.

"You weren't supposed to let them see you," The figure turned around to look at the female vampire. She wore a black cape that made her hard to see.
"I'm sorry. I was curious as to what she has that you want…" He winced at the annoyed noise she made. Obviously, she was not in the mood for telling. She walked up to him and smirked.
She pointed a finger at his chest. "You have enough time to get close to her. After all, she is staying at that mansion by the lake." With that, she was gone, as silent as the wind, leaving him alone in the dark forest.
