A/N: Just a story I'm putting together, mostly for my own amusement. Tyler is overwhelmed and can't control himself any more. Most of my direct thoughts are put at the end of each chapter, if I have any for that chapter that is.

CHAPTER 4

Tyler's POV

Turning around I headed to my closet. After I opened the door I reached down under a sweater and pulled out a box. Within it was a bag of joints that I still had left over from when I use to get high. I walked over to my bed and sat on the edge staring at the bag.

The drugs were sure tempting enough at the moment. It wasn't like I was bothered by the idea. It had been a while and this might not be the worst idea. Not the best either, but my life couldn't get worse. Drifting deep into myself might be just what I need at the moment, it couldn't hurt.

As I pulled one of the joints to my lips I flipped my lighter open and lit my smoke. Inhaling deeply then coughing a little. Yeah defiantly been a while. By the time the joint was finished I was sprawled across my bed staring at the ceiling with my stereo blasting. Chris Brown's song Look At Me Now was coming through the speakers which were expensive so I was feeling every beat pouring through me. Grabbing my remote I started turning the base up to full.

I'm not a big fan of rap, but I'm huge on great base. Especially while high.

"Catchy." I was vaguely aware of someone else being in the room but I wasn't really concerned with it

"You know, blood is the essence of life. You really think it's a good idea to be tainting it with that stuff."

Getting my attention now I was sitting up staring at Damon.

"What does my current state matter to you? You could care less if I was dead." I frowned

"You're right," He started before he moved onto my bed in a kneeling position in front of me at blinding speed. "I could care less if you were dead." He leaned his head forward next to mine and inhaled against my neck

"Now to answer your question, that." He pointed at the ashtray on my desk containing the former joint that was now a roach. "Go's through your whole body, including your blood." He said while pulling back scrunching his nose a little.

"Your point is?" I asked

Damon sighed clearly impatient with my stupidity. "Meaning that it's in your blood, which is what I want. So I hope for your sake that your blood still tastes good because I wouldn't like to find out that I wasted my time coming over here Tyler." He said

Damon reached out for my face, I tried to move back but he grasped my chin with his left hand and pulled me back to him as he turned my head so that I was facing him.

"So. My blood, tastes good?" I struggled to get the words out

"It's blood Tyler. Of course yours is extra tasty. I think it has something to do with you being a werewolf." He said

Damon was still gripping my chin only now he was slowly pulling my face towards him. As my face was inches from his he curved the direction he was pulling me and now he was staring at my neck. Shit he planned on drinking my blood right this second and there was nothing I could do to stop him. Again Damon made me feel powerless which, wasn't a nice feeling to me. I hated the fucking feeling.

Deciding that I wasn't just going to sit there and let him I brought my hands up towards his chest, but before I could even attempt to shove him off he had gripped both my hands and settled himself over me which now I was laying against my back on my bed. I didn't bother struggling any further. I was high and could barely react to the speed he was displaying. Even if I wasn't high I knew I wouldn't have a hope.

Damon brought my hands above my head and then fell against me as his teeth sunk into my neck. There wasn't really any pain, not like before. The weed was definitely the best idea I had for some time. The pain was really faint compared to last time. Damon was pretty quick, I felt sort of drowsy by the time he pulled his head back and rolled over onto his back next to me. A moment later I felt him get off the bed.

"I think you need something a little bit more edgy to fall asleep to." I heard him say

I turned my head to find him on my computer. It's not like I really cared.

"You've got a lot of music. Some of it actually surprised me." I heard him again

The previous song was now replaced by a song I couldn't place at the moment but could tell from the beat that it was dubstep.

"You like this kind of music?" I asked

"I like all kinds of music. Mind you I was around for the start of most of it." He replied smirking

"You almost seemed normal there for a minute." I laughed

"Well it's been fun, but you're going to pass out any minute between the drugs and well, me." He said before disappearing from my sight

My bag was sitting in the back seat of my car so I had to reach back a bit to grab it. As I opened my car door I felt my phone vibrate so I closed my door and pulled out my phone. It was a text from Damon, I had no idea how he got my number.

Meet me at the back of the school at 9:15

Damon wants to drink from me during school? I typed out my reply quickly.

I'm in class during the time

While I waited for Damon's reply I looked around the parking lot. The whole gang was here. Both Matt and Jeremy were giving me a curious look. Stefan, who was with Elena, was gazing at me out of the corner of his eye. Then there was the number of other students blatantly staring at me. I felt my phone vibrate, and saw two messages, one from Stefan and one from Damon.

I decided to read and answer Damon's first.

Well ditch for a bit. If you're not out back by 9:15 then I'm coming in looking for you.

I quickly replied to him.

K then, I'll be there.

Then I read Stefan's message.

You good Tyler?

I looked up at him and noticed that I had his full attention now, and Elena's. I simply nodded towards Stefan who returned the notion.

I put my phone away and started in the direction of the side entrance. Immediately I noticed Matt making his way towards me so I slowed my pace until he caught up then I stopped.

"Hey Ty wait up."

"What do you want Matt?" I asked

"What, I need a reason to talk to my best friend?" He asked

"Whatever." I replied as I turned away from him and started walking again, he kept pace with me

"Come on Ty. Just tell me what's up." He said

"Why don't you ask your girlfriend?" I felt his hand on my shoulder so I turned

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked

"Never mind, it's not my place to tell." I said

"You know what, whatever Ty. You wanna be like this then I won't stop you." He said

Matt turned and started back to Caroline who was glaring daggers at me.

"Matt, wait." I said as he stopped but he didn't face me

"I'm sorry."

"Whatever man." He said as he started walking away again

I made my way towards the side entrance again. Unfortunately Jeremy was standing nearby talking to Bonnie and he tried to make his way over here only to be stopped Bonnie, thank god, who seemed pretty upset. "I'll be fine Bonnie." He said and he started walking towards me while the whole time Bonnie was watching me and she appeared to be warning me.

The first thing I noticed when Jeremy was the white bandage sticking out slightly from his sweater on his right arm.

"Did I do that?" I asked while pointing to his arm

"What, oh um. Yeah you did." He said

"Sorry."

"It's okay. Look man, are you good now?" He asked

"Just peachy Gilbert." I replied

"Tyler, don't do this." He said

"Do what?"

"Push everybody away from you." He said

"Whatever." I took a step towards the door but Jeremy blocked my path

"Unless you want to be hurt even more Gilbert, then you'll move out of my way." I growled

"It's worth the risk." He said

"I'm warning Gilbert, and trust me. It's not worth the risk." I said balling my right fist

"Maybe in your eyes. But I'm your friend Tyler and I'm not going to just sit back and watch you isolate yourself." He said

As I moved forward I shoved him against the door making sure to do it lightly. Then I quickly placed a hand against his chest to hold him there and slammed my right fist against the door next to his head.

"Tyler let him go." I heard Bonnie say

"Tell your boyfriend to move the fuck out of my way." I growled

"I'm warning you Tyler." Bonnie said and something about her voice convinced me that I should listen to her so I did

I released Jeremy and backed up a bit.

"Jeremy just let him go by." Bonnie said and immediately Jeremy moved from my path

I ignored all the eyes that were now on me and the large amounts of whispers that were about me and I walked into the school. I was on my way to my locker when my phone vibrated. It was another text from Stefan.

Are you sure you're alright?

I typed my response

Yeah, just Jeremy being a punk

As I made it to my locker I got another message from Stefan

He was just showing his concern

I was getting a little frustrated with all this attention

Well maybe next time he will listen instead of being so damn stubborn

I threw my bag into my locker and headed to my first period class. There wasn`t any more texts from Stefan, but there was one from Elena with a very detailed description of what would happen if I harmed her little brother again. The bell rang shortly after I entered the class and other students started filing into the room. Including Elena, Matt, and Caroline who all glared at me… Stefan showed up right before the final bell and I was partly curious as to what was so important that he separated himself from Elena and was almost late for class. Of course I knew he wouldn`t tell me even if I asked.

The entire class I was watching the bell and Stefan seemed to notice because he was eyeing me every other minute. After a long boring class the clock finally displayed 9:13. Not that I was really excited to go get my blood drained, but I did want to get the fuck out of this class. Right as I was about to raise my hand there was a knock at the door, the teacher answered the door and then after a moment she came back into the room and called my name. Right behind her was Sheriff Forbes. What the fuck is going on?

I got up and all eyes were on me. As I reached the door and was out of view from anyone inside the room Sheriff Forbes grabbed hold of my wrist.

"What is going on Sheriff?" I asked

The teacher had shut the door to the room and I turned to notice two deputies. One of them had shoved a needle into my rib and I winced.

"What the fuck was that shit." I growled

"It's not working." One of the deputies whispered to Liz, not knowing that I could hear him

"Liz what's going on here?" We all turned to see Damon coming up behind us

"Tyler Lockwood is a vampire." She said

"What?" Damon and I said in unison

"Liz you must be mistaken, I saw that the vervain had no effect on him." Damon said

"I know, but I was sure." She said

"What makes you think so?" Damon asked

Liz handed Damon her cell phone and Damon stared at the screen for a moment.

"This was recorded with a cell phone. It could easily just have glitched." Damon said

Liz released her grip on me and moved closer to Damon as she retrieved her phone.

"I guess you're right. But what do we do about Tyler then?" Liz whispered to Damon thinking I couldn't hear them

"Don't worry Liz, I'll take care it." Damon whispered right back

"What are you even doing here?" Liz asked with slight suspicion

"I came to drop something off for Stefan." He replied

"Thanks for the help Damon." She whispered before walking off with her two Deputies

Damon was frowning at me.

"Thanks." Was a I could think of to say

"Yeah well when you didn't show up I came in after you." He said

"Well I didn't think you weren't serious about that." I said

"This is why you can't go all crazy wolf boy." He sighed

Damon ended up leading me to my car. As I opened the door he stopped me.

"Passenger seat kid." He said

"No one drives my car but me." I said

"Now no one drives your car but you and me." He said

"I'm not letting you drive." I said tightening my jaw

"Do you really want to do this right now? The outcome will be in my favor." He said

After a moment he noticed I wasn't planning on moving.

"Are you really this stupid?" He smirked before he punched me causing me to fall back against my car then he grabbed hold of my collar and pulled me away from the car

"I'm driving." He said one more time

Not wanting to argue any more, or get punched again because that fucking hurt a lot, I moved to the passenger side of my car. As we started to leave the parking lot I reached into the backseat and grabbed a bag all while Damon stared at me with his eyebrow raised.

"What's that?" He asked but as he was able to smell it as I sat back in my seat, "Never mind."

The bag contained weed. I opened the compartment between the two front seats and pulled out my pipe. The whole time Damon was frowning at me.

"What? You seemed to be fine last night." I said

"Just because I appeared that way, doesn't mean I was." He said

"So you don't want me smoking if you're going to be drinking from me?" I asked

"Nah, I was fine." He said

"Whatever." I said

I filled the pipe then brought the pipe to my lips and placed my pinky finger over the hole as I lit the weed. I inhaled slowly for a few moments then I removed the lighter and my pinky finger and proceeded to inhale the rest of the smoke. I held it in as long as I could then I rolled down the window to blow out the smoke. If I wasn't headed back to school after this I would have taken another hit. As I put everything away I noticed that Damon was looking at me curiously.

"What are you hiding from?" He asked

"What?" I replied

"Everyone has a reason, what's yours?" He asked

"It's just easier." I replied

"What's easier?"

"Life. Being what I am. Not caring." I replied

"Let me give you a life lesson kid. Life sucks no matter what you do. At least if you're like you or me it's easier."

"Are you saying that being a monster makes life easier?"

"Oh what is with people these days? I'm a monster, blah blah blah. You should embrace it instead of fight it." He said

"How do you suggest I do that?" I asked

"You want to not care? Then don't. Do what you want, when you want, how you want." He replied

"Last time I tried to do that I got locked in a basement for a day." I laughed

"Something tells me that you didn't really want to make a spectacle of yourself." He said

"Well a part of me just wanted to break something, so I did. Whatever happened after that was in the heat of the moment." I said

I looked over at Damon who was staring out the windshield smirking.

"What?" I asked

"Your big idea to show people you don't care was to trash your car at school?" He chuckled

"No, it wasn't about showing people I don't care. More of me just letting some anger out." I said

Damon pulled into a small path on the side of the road and parked the car.

"Give me your arm." He said

I gave him my arm knowing that it was pointless to struggle, that he would just overpower me either way. I watched him as his face changed and he sunk his teeth into my wrist, I winced a little but there wasn't really much pain considering the pot. Damon was drinking as slowly as he could manage. I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. As he finished drinking I sighed.

"Well if I knew that you would miss my teeth in you that much I wouldn't have removed them." He smirked

"Just drive okay." I said drowsily

Damon started making the drive back to the school as I rested still with my eyes closed. My energy was slowly returning to me.

"You sure you're good to go back to school?" He asked

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied

"See, there's an upside to being a werewolf. You get to go back to school after having a vampire drain your blood, while a human would have to sleep." He said

"Yeah, lucky me." I said

"You sure you don't want to just ditch?" He asked

"Don't think that will look good to Stefan. He hasn't stopped eyeing me all day." I said

"That little brother of mine. Always the saint. The protector!"

"How long have I even been gone?" I asked

"Only ten minutes since I saved you from the wannabe hunters." He said

"Thanks for that." I said even though I was still questioning if I should or not

"No problem. Just don't make a habit of needing saving." He said as we pulled into the school parking lot

"You might want to wipe off that blood." He said as he pointed at my arm

There was some blood on my wrist so I grabbed my rag and wiped it off. I looked over at Damon who had his phone out. It started vibrating wildly.

"Who's calling?" I asked

"Nobody. I just turned it back on and now I'm bombarded with messages from Stefan. Check yours before you get back into the classroom." He said

We got out of the car and I headed in the direction of the school while he went over to his car. I pulled out my phone and sure enough there were four missed calls and five texts. I proceeded to dial a number. This was defiantly something I had to do now.

"Tyler?"

"Yeah Jules it's me."

A/N: Well hoped you liked it. Don't know if it was worth the wait. The main plot of TVD I'm going to try and not change, such as Luca and his father, Elijah, and Klaus. But the current side plots are going to remain and grow.
