Chapter Nine
Elena Gilbert awoke early the next morning to find that Jeremy was already packed and ready to go, and Alaric was preparing himself to drive to the city to drop Jeremy off at the airport. Elena attempted to smile convincingly at Jeremy, however he must have seen through her act, for his smile faded once he saw her, "Hey, everything okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, Jer." She said, heading to the kitchen to pout herself a glass of Orange Juice. Her brother followed her, leaving his bags at the front door.
"Did something happen?" He asked, clearly doubting her act.
"Nope." She said, smiling again," Just ordinary, everyday drama." She attempted again to make her act even more convincing, and she pulled it off well because Jeremy just shrugged,
"Okay." He said, smiling again, "That's good that its just normal for once."
"Yep." Elena said, finishing her glass of juice just as Alaric descended the stairs, his face freshly shaven, his hair neatly combed, "Hey Alaric."
"Hey Elena." Alaric said, glancing at Elena and noticing her fake smile, before turning back to Jeremy, "Ready?"
Jeremy nodded, "Yeah."
Elena walked with them to the front entry, struggling to keep the smile on her face. Her brother was leaving, her love life was a mess, her best friend was angry with her, her life just really sucked.
She reached over and gave her brother a hug, seeking comfort in his embrace. She'd miss him, but as she held him close, she knew that she was doing the right thing. He was getting chance to start fresh, a chance to live a normal life, a life where he wouldn't have to worry about vampire attacks and death.
"Stay safe, Elena." Jeremy said, pulling away and grabbing his bags, sniffling as if he wanted to cry, as if this was a lot for him to handle. "I can't lose you, too."
Elena nodded, unsure as if it was a promise she could keep. It wasn't likely, since Klaus was here and Stefan and Klaus were at war with one another. There was a large chance that something could happen to her in the unpredictable world of Mystic Falls. "You too, Jer. Be careful."
He laughed for a second, knowing that where he was going he'd be safe, "I ya, sis." He said with one of those rare smiles.
"I love you, too." Elena said, turning away as she heard Bonnie come to say her goodbyes. Her brother was leaving, to be safe and to find a new life.
A small part of her wanted to be able to do the same.
AN: Pretty crappy chapter, I know, but the next one is going to be good, for I have a plan….what does everyone think about a Matt/Elena scene? I'm starting to become a big fan of the two…that scene on wickery bridge was just… I am now shipping Matt and Elena a little even though I'm a Stelena fan….
But can I say something? I heard that Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson got death threats for the Delena kiss. My reaction OoO WTF? For 1. It's a tv show! It's not real…2. Why would you threated to kill anyone, ever? And to all those people who now think all Stelena fans are like that, we're not…I don't know anyone who would do that…
Has anyone ever heard the song Does Anybody Hear her? By Casting Crowns….it's amazing!
