AN: Thanks Celice for your review for the previous chapter. I am a bit disappointed though. I expected more reviews from you guys. Even if you didn't like it, i would appreciate if you let me know that. Anyways this is another chapter hope you enjoy reading it.

Chapter 5: Opening Of The Tomb

Stefan and Elena had already worked out things between them regarding Katherine. Elena wasn't mad at Stefan anymore and more understanding about it. According to the events taking place around me, I was currently living episode thirteen of season one. I recalled the episode was named 'Children of the damned'. I was sure about my time line because Jeremy has already met Anna at the library and they were bonding nicely with each other. I guessed and hoped so.

The other day I was at the grill because Jeremy wanted me to meet Anna. Jeremy wasn't in love with her yet but he was considering Anna his friend and wanted to introduce her to me. I liked the importance and attention I receive from Jeremy. I also liked Anna even though at the moment she was faking her friendship with Jeremy. But I know how they are gonna fall in love with each other later. So I let that pass and kept myself from interfering.

The very day, I noticed Elena and Bonnie sitting at a table at the Grill not far away from where Jeremy and I were sitting. They looked worried and stressed. Elena and Bonnie were talking about stuffs I already knew about so I didn't pay much attention to them and focused more on what Jeremy was saying to me. Jeremy wanted to start sketching again that he had stopped doing after his parents' death. I obviously encouraged him.

After Elena left the Grill, I had to turn my attention to Bonnie for a moment because Damon just came in through the door of the grill. He went straight to the young witch who looked extremely irritated to see him there. Well nothing new in that, I thought to myself. Damon's attempt of making friends with Bonnie failed miserably which was supposed to happen no matter what. But unfortunate for me, Damon saw me laughing silently when Bonnie walked away from him. It was hilarious. He dangerously glared at me openly which made me stop laughing immediately.

One more thing that caught my attention that same day, was the bar tender of the grill. The vampire bartender Ben was back to his job. The nerve of him. Like it happened in the show, Ben had rescued Bonnie from Damon when he was harassing her. Bonnie immediately took a liking to him and felt attracted to him as well. They started talking to each other in a friendly way and I already knew where that would go. Bonnie seemed really interested in him. I know I should have stopped Bonnie from getting involved with him but I had already decided to mind my own business during the time of opening the tomb. Besides, I wanted the tomb open as well therefore not interfering was the best option for me. Both Damon and I knew who Ben was and I knew more about what he wanted from Bonnie. I was surprised that Damon left him with Bonnie and didn't do anything at all about it. Maybe he was trying to find out about Ben in his own way.

Apart from those events a lot of other things have also happened in past few days. One of them was that Elena has finally found out that she was adopted by the Gilberts. However she didn't know any of her parents yet but she would find out about them soon enough. Another important thing was that Jenna and Alaric were bonding well with each other. I would love to see them as a couple soon. They really fit in with each other. Though good things happened during this time but bad things also followed them. Among all the bad things that happened over the week, the worst was a stalker vampire trying to kill Elena in the house. He was invited in as he came before as the pizza delivery guy. Though I already knew about the event from beforehand but I could do nothing to change that simply because I wasn't in the house that time when Elena invited him in or else I would have stopped it from happening.

Anyway, Elena was going to the school dance after she was attacked by the stalker vampire. And like it happened in the show, Stefan and Damon saved her from getting killed. The said vampire was killed at the dance party without any trouble. As everything was happening according to the show plot line. I decided to stay out of the drama and action until the tomb is finally opened. However Damon had something else on his mind for me. He wasn't going to let me stay away from all the dramas and dragged me into his problems without bothering about what I wanted to do. Obviously he was Damon and wouldn't care about anything else but what he wanted for himself. At night Damon came into my room, like the creep he was.

"Seriously Damon, you are turning into Edward Cullen." I said with serious tone of voice. At the time, I was ready to have a good night sleep so I was quite bothered with his presence in my room. Moreover I knew, he wasn't baring any good news for me or didn't stop by just to say hello only. He wanted something from me and I knew it and disliked it very much. Damon glared at me angrily.

"Don't you dare compare me with him?" He snapped at me, feeling offended. I however, smirked at his annoyance.

"What do you want?" I asked straight away without wasting any time. Damon approached me with a devilish grin plastered on his lips.

"I need a favor from you." He said with quite the appeal in his voice but I rolled my eyes at him.

"Why am I not surprised? What is it?" Damon's grin turned into a smirk as he caressed my cheek lightly. He was standing very close too. Damon just loves to invade personal space.

"Bonnie's ancestors possessed a book. A witch cook book. I need that. The location of the book is supposedly written in your ancestor's journal. The one that you told me about. So I want that journal and I need you to get it for me." Should I just help him? I asked myself in my mind. Besides I needed the tomb open anyway. But my help wouldn't come so easily. Not to mention that could make him suspicious of me.

"And why should I help you?" I asked seriously with my eye brows raised at him in a questioning manner. Damon already had his answer prepared for the question.

"Because I saved your life and you owe me one." He blatantly reminded me of his favor. However, I already knew that he would pull that card against me one day. Just didn't know it would happen so soon.

"I remember thanking you for that. Wasn't that enough?" I tried to sound ungrateful about his saving my life which made him widen his eyes at me.

"Nope!" Damon blurted out the truth after a moment. "I don't need your thanks. I need you to do this work for me" said the vampire stubbornly. I sighed out heavily knowing there is no getting out of it.

"Only if you promise me to never do me any favor again and never ask for one in return. And no one should know about my helping you." I made my point clear without any hesitation.

"Fine by me." Damon said shrugging his shoulders at me nonchalantly.

"Jeremy had the journal but he gave it to Mr. Saltzman, the history teacher. I will get it from him tomorrow" informing that to Damon, I got inside my blanket. "I will call you when I get it. Good night" saying that I covered myself up to head and tried to fall asleep fast and hoped that Damon wouldn't stand in my room for long. Staring at me like Edward Cullen. But knowing Damon, he would never do something like that. So erasing all the worries from my mind, I fell asleep before I knew it. The following day I went to Alaric to get the journal from him like I said to Damon that I would. At first, I asked Ric about the journal without asking him to give it back straight away.

"Do you need it back?" Ric asked with wondering tone of voice.

"No, I just need to copy it. Would you mind if I use your photo copy machine?" I thought it would be best if the real copy stayed with Alaric. Otherwise Anna or her vampires would come after me for the journal.

"No please, go ahead." Ric was being co-operative about it but I knew he was seriously curious about why I was copying the journal all on a sudden.

"Why do you need the journal copied for?" Ric asked when he couldn't contain his curiosity anymore.

"Oh, a friend of mine asked me too. She is really into histories." I answered the lies quite believably. I copied the whole book quickly and gave the original one back to Alaric. "Thank you Mr. Saltzman." I said with a smile.

"You can call me Ric, of course outside of classrooms only" said Alaric and I nodded my head to that with a nice smile. Then I left saying a thank you once again. I called Damon after getting out of the school building. He received the my call on the first ring. Perhaps he was already waiting for me to call him.

"I got it." I said straight away without wasting time with formalities of hi and hello or how are you?

"Good, where are you? I will come to you and get it" came from Damon. It was clear that he wanted the journal in his hands as soon as possible. I thought for a moment about where to meet up with him and hand over him the copy of the journal. The grave yard should be a good place to meet with Damon.

"Come to the graveyard." I said and practically heard him rolling his eyes at me. He groaned out loud as well.

"Couldn't you find any better place than that?" Damon complained and I knew he had a pout on his lips as well which made me smile to myself.

"Now Salvatore." I said sounding annoyed even though I wasn't. I didn't want to get too friendly with Damon for good reasons. I pressed the red button and hung up the call. Damon and I met only fifteen minutes later at the graveyard and I handed him the copy. At first he was confused.

"What is this?" He asked frowning at me to which I rolled my eyes.

"The journal's copy." I said with a duh tone in my voice. This time Damon rolled his eyes at me.

"Couldn't you get the real one?" He asked unsatisfied obviously. I narrowed my eyes at him boldly.

"Do you need the book or the information in it?" That shut him up thankfully.

"Fine, thanks." Damon said not meaning it at all.

"This was the last time I did your dirty work Damon. Hopefully you will remember that." I said with dead serious tone of voice but Damon didn't bother taking me seriously about that.

"This wasn't a dirty work sweetheart. Besides, it's the first time I have asked you do something." He replied smirking at me which made me roll my eyes at him.

"Whatever." I said and started to walk away from him but Damon was in front of me in a blink. I stepped back a little, startled obviously and also wondered what else Damon wanted from me that he needed to block my way.

"Don't you want to know why I need the witch cook book? Don't you ever get curious? Elena practically kills me with questions." Damon asked quite curiously and I realized that he really wanted to know why I never show any interest in whatever the hell was going on around me. Clearly he noticed it very carefully, being the observant Damon and all. Well, what can I tell him that I already know everything? That's not gonna work or happen.

"Curiosity kills the cat. And I am not planning to die yet? And I am not Elena. Good luck with your finding the witch cook book." I said with highly uninterested tone of voice and tried to walk away for the second time but Damon stopped me again.

"Come on I will give you a ride home. I am heading there myself anyways." Damon offered which made me confused and surprised at the same time but I had to reject his offer anyway.

"No thanks, I am not going home yet." He frowned at me with confusion.

"Where are you going?" asked Damon with mild curiosity to which I rolled my eyes.

"None of your business Damon." I said in a sing song voice and walked away from him. Thankfully he let me leave this time. But if I had turned around then I would have seen an annoyed look on Damon's face. He was contemplating whether to stop me and force me to tell him where I was going or just leave it be? Thankfully he chose to leave me alone. With that done, I decided that it was time for me to find a fake moonstone that looks just like the original one. As I didn't have anything special to do other than observe people around me for a while, I realized it was best time for me to take care of the moonstone matter. Not to mention, I might not get time for that latter. I had made a plan a few days ago. I decided that I won't let the moonstone get in an original's hand. I would keep the moonstone with me for my own leverage against Katherine, Elijah and Klaus. Everyone of them is very powerful. Katherine maybe less stronger than the originals but powerful nonetheless and manipulative. And I might need protection against them one day. If I am the only one who knows where the original moonstone is, then no one would dare to kill me or even hurt me. In order to find a look alike stone, I checked a few stores in town but unfortunately I couldn't find anything satisfying. After failing at mission impossible that day, I went back home, disappointed. I thought no one would be in the house at that time but when I entered the door, I found Damon and Elena near the dinning table. They were also standing very close to each other. Almost in an about to kiss position.

"Get a room you two." I said out loud deliberately. Of course I was trying to make the moment more awkward for them than it already was. You could blame it on my mischief nature. As expected Elena had jumped up startled and stepped away from Damon quickly. Damon however seemed unfazed and not bothered a bit.

"Jacq, where have you been?" asked Elena. She looked flushed because of the embarrassment I had just caused her a moment ago.

"Around." I answered lamely.

"We are cooking dinner tonight. Glad that you wouldn't miss it" said Damon smirking at me. He was back to his obnoxious self again.

"No actually, I have to skip it. I have some important work to do." I said while walking over to the fridge and got a soft drinks cane out of it.

"What work?" both Damon and Elena asked that at the same time but I wasn't gonna answer that to either of them.

"Save some food for me" saying that I went to my room and completely avoided answering them the question. As if they never asked me anything in the first place.

I heard Elena mentioning Stefan's name when I was out of their sight but I was still within earshot. I didn't need to eavesdrop on Damon and Elena to know what subject they were gonna discuss about while cooking dinner. Even though I was in the Gilbert house at the moment, I knew very well what Stefan must be doing. If my calculation is correct, Stefan has gone to get the journal from Alaric by now. Alaric would be all alone when Stefan would get to him. Ric would attack Stefan and result in revealing his deep dark secret about being a vampire hunter to the younger Salvatore. If that hasn't happened yet, it will soon take place. Then Anna will steal the original journal while Stefan and Ric would be fighting each other. I hoped that Ric had made a copy of the original journal himself after I left him. And I am sure he did just that because Alaric copied the journal in the show so it's almost confirmed that he would do it again this time as well. And if everything goes according to the show then Ric would give the copy to Stefan at the end of their interesting conversation. I wasn't worried a bit about Alaric and Stefan. There wasn't anything that could happen between them that I already didn't know about.

However, there was something that I was confused about actually. I figured that Damon didn't tell anyone yet that he already got the journal's copy. But why didn't he? Why was he making Stefan look for the journal. I thought at first that Damon wanted to figure out the location of the Gilmore on his own when he asked me to help him. I thought this time he didn't want to involve Stefan and Elena into the search. However, I was wrong in my assumption. Damon knew that Stefan was looking for the journal as well and he is the one who actually asked Stefan to do it. I wasn't sure what kind of game Damon was playing this time but it seemed that he actually set both Elena and me to get the journal. Either he didn't trust me enough or he wanted a backup plan in case I failed to give the journal to him. If so then Elena would do it for him or if Elena failed then I would do the job for him. Either way he would have the journal to him. It made sense but why he didn't say anyone yet that he already got the journal's copy was out of my understanding. I was also wondering why Damon is at this dinner this time like he was in the show. He should be at the boarding house right now, reading the journal to find out anything about the Gilmore's location. I was raking my brains for a proper sensible answer to his actions when I suddenly realized that Damon has already found the witch cook book and he was only fooling Stefan. Damon was letting Stefan believe that he was counting on him. Besides, he still needed a witch to perform the spell. And he was plotting on getting Stefan to get the witch for him. I could see it clearly what Damon was planning to do. I have to admit, Damon's smart when he wants to be.

While Jenna and Elena were cooking dinner, Damon and Jeremy were playing video games. Both Damon and Elena were secretly waiting up for Stefan to show up with the journal. Right then the door bell rang and Damon went to get the door. He opened up the door hoping to see his baby brother with the journal but instead of Stefan at the door, Damon found Tyler Lockwood standing there.

"Is Jacq home?" asked Tyler. Damon narrowed his eyes at him first then nodded lightly.

"Jeremy, call your little sister. Tell her Tyler Lockwood has come to see her." Damon yelled it from the doorway so that everyone could hear exactly who came to visit me. Hearing the name both Elena and Jeremy got shocked. Why would Tyler want to meet me? Everyone was thinking of the same question. Well it was because I asked him to. I needed the original moonstone in my hands and I needed Tyler's friendship to get it. I know it sounds like using Tyler. Well, it is using. But I am not the only one getting benefit out of it. Tyler now has someone to talk to. I may have an ulterior motive to be friends with Tyler but I wasn't faking my friendship. I won't abandon him after getting the moonstone from him. I am actually trying to be his best friend. So, I was slowly bonding with him as a friend first and then take our friendship deeper. My plan of getting the moonstone was simple. When Tyler would get the moonstone, hopefully, I will be able to switch it with a fake one. If the stone won't be missing then no one would look for the real one for a long time. As I was still upstairs in my room I wasn't aware of Tyler's arrival yet. So, instead of calling me first Jeremy went to see Tyler himself.

"Why do you want to meet her?" asked Jeremy with hostility in his voice. Tyler wanted to roll his eyes at Jeremy's tone of speaking.

"She called me" stated Tyler simply but Jeremy was shocked to hear it. Thankfully Elena called me down to ask me if I had really called Tyler to our house. When I got downstairs I saw both Damon and Jeremy at the doorway confronting Tyler.

"Hey Tyler, lets go take a walk." I said wanting to take him away from Damon and Jeremy's unfriendly gazes at him. Tyler started walking but when I was about to get out of the door, Jeremy held on my arm.

"Where are you going? You know how he is?" said Jeremy. He looked kind of horrified that I was going out with Tyler even though just for a walk. I sighed out boringly at him and rolled my eyes as well.

"Relax Jeremy, I will be fine." I said but still Jeremy didn't let go of me. Obviously Tyler heard what Jeremy and I were talking about and he was back at the door again.

"I think we shouldn't go for a walk if your brother doesn't trust me with you" said Tyler and I glared at Jeremy for ruining my perfect plan of bonding more with Tyler. I wanted to get close to Tyler as soon as possible, as deeply as possible. I needed to earn his trust. Be the friend he never had before. Sighing heavily to myself knowing that I wouldn't be able to go out with him now, I gave Tyler a piece of paper.

"This will do your work. Everything is already set. You just need to ask." Tyler nodded while taking the paper.

"Thanks." He said.

"Let me know how it went." I said with a smirk and he smiled back at me cheekily.

"Yeah, sure" saying that Tyler walked away. I turned around to face the others. Jeremy was downright glaring at me.

"What was that?" He asked angrily but I was pissed off too.

"Mind your own business Jeremy." I snapped at him angrily and started to walk towards the staircase to get back to my room again. Actually I gave Tyler a contact number of a girl whom he wanted to have sex with for a long time now. I knew the girl and she was interested in Tyler too so I just set them up. You know getting on the good side of Tyler slowly. Damon was silent the whole time but he spoke up when I snapped at Jeremy.

"I agree with your brother you know. Tyler isn't very trustworthy. If you are having a thing with him, you shouldn't." I didn't even bother to reply him and walked away from there. Rude, I know. Demon wanted to grab my arm and force me to face him and do something bad for walking out on him like that. I knew he wanted to do that but with Jenna, Elena and Jeremy in the same room, he stayed put. But I didn't miss to see his glare.

"I really don't have any clue what Jacq does the entire day? I am the worst kind of guardian" confessed Jenna and felt guilty thinking she isn't taking care of me properly.

"It's not your fault Jenna. She is just like that" said Elena to make Jenna feel better. Right then Stefan appeared at the Gilbert house and told Damon and Elena about the journal being stolen. Though Damon has the copy he wanted to know who else needed it. I realized that I have no need to interfere in the tomb's opening now. Well, I wouldn't get involved even if I should at one point. Damon could never work alone on this without Stefan. So, they were going to work together anyway just like they did in the show. It didn't take long for Damon to find out about Anna. He confronted her about her interest in opening the tomb. I stayed away from the whole chaos. Elena got kidnapped just like it happened before. Stefan obviously saved her. I on the other hand was still thinking about the moon stone. Where can I get one look alike? I have to go out of town maybe for getting the job done. Then I thought about Caroline. She knows a lot about shopping and stuff. She might be of help. I decided to ask her to help me.

Before I knew it I was living in yet another significant episode of TVD. It was the 'fooled me once' episode where Damon finally gets the tomb opened and he finds out that Katherine was never in the tomb in the first place. Though in my world the episode duration was for only forty five minutes give or take a few minutes more but in the world of vampire diaries, this was a matter of entire day. The main action was going to take place at night. As I had nothing to do with the opening of the tomb, I made up my mind about talking to Caroline today. I asked her to meet me at the grill at first. But we couldn't discuss anything there because that wasn't safe. I made up some excuse and asked Caroline to take me to her home from the Grill. We went to her house which is forever empty. Caroline practically lives on her own. Her mom is never around being the sheriff and all. After we settled down, I decided to talk to Caroline about our shopping trip. I knew she would be interested from beforehand.

"Caroline I need your help." I said with serious tone of voice. She got interested immediately even though I didn't mention anything about shopping yet. I think I might like the human Caroline as well but sometimes only. She was just desperate for attention and importance from people around her. And at the moment I was giving her exactly the things she wanted.

"Yeah, sure. What it is that you want my help for?" asked Caroline curiously.

"I was wondering, do you have any idea where I could find stones; you know designer stones in Mystic Falls?" I asked with enough confidence that Caroline would know at least something about it.

"You mean like beautiful stones that are used for decorations." I nodded to Caroline as she understood what I was looking for. She thought about it for a moment or two.

"You won't find it here in Mystic Falls Jacq. But I know of a place out of town where they might keep that kind of stones" said Caroline happily.

"Great, I knew you would be a great help Caroline. Thanks... um can you please take me there? Or give me the location if you are busy." The way I was treating Caroline, it made her very happy. She immediately agreed to take me there herself.

"But why do you need stones all on a sudden?" She asked with mild curiosity. I couldn't just ignore answering her when she was helping me but also I have to tell her something that would lessen her interest right away and she won't even think about it twice let alone gossip about it with others.

"I got a beautiful plant in a bowl. I just want to decorate it with beautiful stones." I quickly made that up. Even Caroline rolled her eyes at the stupid excuse.

"When do you wanna go?" She asked. I wanted to be done with finding a fake moonstone as soon as possible. So I said-

"How about now?"

As planned, Caroline and I went out of town in search for fake moonstone. Well Caroline didn't know that obviously. She drove us out of Mystic Falls pretty quickly. Caroline blabbered all the way about her new crush on none other than Matt. He just sort of saved her from an embarrassing fall in front of everyone and gave her his attention for sometime. Caroline was crushing over him since then. It happened just a few days ago though. It seemed that everything that happened in the show was happening this time as well, only in a different way. Well at lease for Caroline it was like that. I guess Matt needed Caroline too for getting over Elena since Vicki was no more in his life. Though Caroline was a rebound girl for Matt but I think they should be together for now. Being with Matt would definitely bring a change in Caroline's personality. So, I decided not to mess up with them and let Matt and Caroline happen for the time being. Besides, I don't think pairing Caroline up with Damon was a good idea anyway. Damon would be unstable for a long time after finding out about Katherine's betrayal. Caroline won't be able to handle Damon let alone be his girlfriend again. Besides, Caroline hated Damon with passion. I stopped thinking about all the possible match making I could do when Caroline pulled over the car in a parking lot of a shopping mall. She took me to a store where I found many stones, many beautiful stones that would look wonderful in a decoration piece but I just need a white soap like stone. I looked around carefully.

"Like anything?" asked Caroline after waiting for a while.

The shop keeper was extremely happy to have customers. Finally I found one look alike after half an hour of searching. I had collected many other stones just to keep the salesman and Caroline confused. I didn't want anyone to know that I bought a moonstone look alike stone. That would get me in trouble right away when people would start looking for it. But as I bought many other stones, neither the shopkeeper nor Caroline suspected anything mysterious a bit and never noticed the fake moonstone among the others. Caroline and I returned back to Mystic Falls when the sun was setting for the day. We still had time to get ready for the night's party. Caroline was definitely going to go to the duke's party. Obviously to see Matt there. And even though I didn't want to but I had no choice but to go along with Caroline and attend the party as well. It was because I didn't want to miss witnessing the opening of the tomb for real this time. The event was going to take place near by the party like last time. However, I was just going to be a watcher tonight and no getting into action.

I know that Bonnie's grandmother would die tonight and I should have done something to stop it from happening this time. But honestly there was nothing I could really do about it. Not when I wanted the event to happen exactly how it happened in the show. Any change in the situation might cause more damage than good. Besides, it seemed like the story line was following the same situations too even with my presence this time. There wasn't any change of situation in anything. For example, Anna was having a moment with Jeremy like she was supposed to. Caroline was getting closer to Matt in her own way also like she was supposed to. Then Bonnie and her grams were helping Damon getting Katherine out of the tomb, like they were supposed to. I was just hoping for the best. Minutes seemed like hours to me when I was waiting for the things to get over finally. I always disliked waiting. When I realized that enough time has passed already, I started to look around in the woods. Pretty soon, I found Jeremy lying on the ground. He was alive of course, just passed out. Before I could do anything to wake him up Elena and Stefan came there running.

"Oh my god, is he okay?" asked Elena and I nodded my head.

Thankfully they didn't ask me what I was doing there. Damon came to the spot as well. He was looking sad and depressed as expected. Obviously he didn't find Katherine in there among the tomb vampires. I shouldn't say this right now but it sucks to be Damon. He just found out that the woman he loved for 164 years had cunningly betrayed him the night he died trying to save her. Elena got up on her feet and walked up to Damon. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a much needed hug. How I wished it was me instead? I pushed that thought right away. I even surprised myself by thinking of doing that. No, Damon would never love me like he is going to love Elena. Wait, when did I start to take things personally? It's all just a game for me right? Right. That's why I was letting Bonnie's grandmother die without a second thought. Because it was nothing but a game field for me. And I should never put my heart into it in anyway especially when it comes to Damon. Reminding myself of the rules that I made myself, I focused on my brother Jeremy with undivided attention. Whom I started caring about without planning on doing it actually. I was taking care of Jeremy instead of bothering myself about Elena hugging Damon a few feet away from me. However, Stefan was looking at me curiously. He must be wondering what I was doing there or why I wasn't asking any question about what the hell is going on?

"I will take him home" said Stefan, and I nodded to him. He picked up Jeremy and left for home.

It is only a matter of time now that Damon is gonna find out the truth about Katherine from Anna. Bonnie would lose her grams before the end of the night. May Sheila rest in peace. Very soon all the tomb vampires are going to wake up and get out of their prison after 164 years. I was back in the Gilbert house, resting in my room but for some strange reasons I couldn't fall asleep. Everything went on just like I wanted, just like it was supposed to happen. I should be satisfied but I felt horribly sad without any explanation for it. Damon's sad face was appearing in front of my eyes now and then. I let out a desperate, frustrated sigh and ran my fingers through my hair violently. I got up from the bed. Suddenly Damon was in the room. I stared at him for a moment. He looked so broken. I couldn't help myself but embrace him instantly. I didn't say a word just held him tightly. He also held me back without breaking the silence between us. I didn't know how long we stayed like that or why we were hugging like that but suddenly Damon was gone.

"Jacq, you still wake?" came a voice that almost startled me. I looked up and saw Jeremy at the door. I nodded and motioned for him to come in.

"Hey, how are you feeling now?" I asked with concern and worry.

"Better. I was wondering if I could sleep with you tonight. I don't want to be alone right now" asked Jeremy hopefully. I smiled at him for the proposal. I didn't want to be alone too at that moment.

"Of course." After that we both got into bed and Jeremy sort of made me his cuddle pillow and fell asleep fast. I couldn't sleep though. I felt like someone was watching me from the window. That moment with Damon, I felt so happy wrapped around in his arms and it was so peaceful. I wish I could have lived that moment longer. Sighing heavily, I finally drifted off to sleep knowing tomorrow would be much more action filled.

AN: So, how was it? I will only update next when I will get enough reviews from you guys. That's a threat, lol.
