Not sure how you'll like this, but please review ! It makes me happy whenever I get to read what ever you guys write.

Alaric leaned against the tall white pillar inside the restaurant and gazed at Jenna, who was having a conversation regarding psychology with his uncle. It was quite a surprise to both Alaric and Jenna how easily she was taken in by his family. Of course his parents haven't shown up yet and he knows how hard it is to impress them.

Before Jenna actually went into the restaurant, Alaric made a point of telling her the positives and negatives of each person in the room. She was so darn worried that no one would like her and Alaric couldn't help but laugh at how nervous she was.

Lost in his own thoughts, Alaric didn't hear it when his older sister came up behind him.

"Hey there Ricky! Or Mr. Creepy-dude-who-stalks-his-girlfriend-from-afar-even-though-she's-his-girlfriend." Intoxicating scents flowed from his sister's mouth as she spoke, suggesting that she had been drinking, and so her slightly slurred speech indicated that she was definitely drunk.

"Genevieve, seriously? You have your two young daughters here and you're already drunk?" Alaric shook his head in disbelief.

"I'm not that drunk," She laughed. "Oh and your wife isn't exactly starting off on the right foot with our parents…unfortunately."

"First of all, she's not my wife, she's my girlfriend. Second of all, what could she possibly have done wrong?" Alaric looked over at Jenna, who now was by the food tables.

"Correction: she's not your wife…yet," She smiled. "Wasn't it at one of these parties that you proposed to Isobel?" When she saw Alaric's face, she switched the topic quickly. "As for what she did, someone squealed about her dating Logan Fell. And well, everyone knows what that means."

"Not everyone. Mind explaining?"Alaric glanced at Jenna once more.

"Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries…" Jenna continued walking along the tables, all lined up with assorted foods, amused by the fact that they had so many 'berries'. She stopped a few tables away from the door and started to take a croissant at the same time as another hand reached for it. She pulled away and cringed when she saw who it was.

"…I heard you were staying in mystic falls, I thought, maybe…well maybe I could have a second chance to make things right."

"Oh! Sorry, did you want that?" Jenna let out a slow breath, remembering those beautiful vibrant green eyes. That Irish pale skin and red hair.

"I fled town because of you. Fled."

But she wanted to forget those characteristics. It was in a short, rushed, emotional, glance that she'd seen them the first time, registered the clothes in the corner and the crumpled bed.

"Oh, um. No… you can take it." Jenna smiles and then started to leave. "I have to go…"

"Wait!" The woman touched her arm and looked at her face, searching for something. "Have we met before?"

Jenna just stared at her, her past seeping out from the most vulnerable parts of her mind, the parts that she made sure the doors were locked to. She wanted to stop the memories. But she couldn't, not when proof of the past was standing right in front of her.

"Her name was Monica, wasn't it?"

"There's no way that's true…" Alaric was sure that his sister had gone mad. Or maybe it was just because she was drunk. Genevieve rolled her eyes and smiled sadly. "How could she have possible have been the girl who Logan cheated on Monika with? Jenna was cheated on by a guy named …Logan."

Realization hit Alaric when he looked over at Jenna, whose face looked like she'd seen a ghost, when standing in front of her was actually Monica. He shook his head. Either Monika had been lying or Jenna. And he was going to find out.

"Excuse me," Alaric pushed past his sister and started walking toward Jenna. She was listening to Monica and smiling. Fake. Alaric can tell what Jenna's smile really looks like.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told him about Monica…" Genevieve shrugged. Then, upon seeing an elderly couple walk into the restaurant, waved and walked over to greet them.

Rrrrriinng! Rrrrriinng!

Since he was sitting beside Elena's cell phone, Damon took the courtesy of answering it.

"Hello?"

"Damon? Where's Elena? And why do you have her phone?" Bonnie's voice was a bit off. Damon could tell that something was bugging her and not just the fact that he was the one who answered this phone call.

"She and Stefan went out; on a date, I suppose. Even though it makes no sense to leave me here. After all it is her house. As for why I have her phone, well, Elena decided to forget it at home. Too bad," Damon knew all too well why he was left in the Gilbert house. And, that Elena didn't forget her phone; she left it there so he could guard her calls. Another aspect of this situation that he knew; Stefan and Elena left to find someone, not to go on a date.

"Yeah…" Bonnie stared at the lit up restaurant. That made no sense whatsoever. Elena had planned to go out with Bonnie for some bonding time. Damon was keeping something from her. Not that they were friends or anything, but she just thought that he wouldn't be so…secretive. Not after what she did for him the night before.

"Yeah…? Do you want me to take a message?" Damon smirked and then knitted his eyebrows together in confusion when Bonnie said no. "Why'd you call, then?"

"Well, me and Elena were supposed to go out and I called to tell her that I couldn't go anymore. But obviously she seems to be busy." Bonnie counted down three seconds. "I have to go. Tell Elena to call me."

Bonnie hung up the phone before Damon could say anything else. That was all she needed to buy her time. They'll think Bonnie is mad, while, really, she can actually stay here and figure out what those vamps were talking about.

"This is going to be a long night," Bonnie took in a deep breath and walked toward the forest.
