.07 | Family Ties

"Scum ball. Scum bucket." says Jenna who was staring at the TV.

"Who are you talking to?" I ask looking over my shoulder.

"Him." Jenna said.

"The news guy?" I ask looking at Jenna. She nodded.

"Also known as Logan Scum Fell." Jenna says in a bitter tone, "Did your mom ever tell you why I moved away from Mystic Falls?" Jenna asks looking at me. It took me a second to realize what she was getting at.

"No way, you and him?" I ask with wide eyes. Jenna gives a small nod. I look back at the TV and widen my eyes a little.

"He's cute." I say.

"He's not cute, there's nothing cute about him." Jenna says crossing her arms and turns off the TV.

"Hey, I was watching that sexy news man." I said with a laugh.

"Good morning, what are we laughing about?" Elena asks when she walks in with a box in her arms.

"Nothing as important as to what you have in your arms." I say walking over to her and looking in the box.

"I went to the safe deposit box. Our moms told Mrs. Lockwood that she would loan it to the Founders Council for the heritage display." Elena says. I look in the box and see a whole bunch of old fashion jewelry which is amazing, I pull out a familiar ring.

"Isn't this your Grandma Beth's wedding ring?" I ask.

"Originally it was Great Grandma Mary's ring." Elena says with a smile.

"How much do you think this stuff is worth on E-Bay?" Jeremy asks picking up one of the items. I reach over and grab the item that he took.

"You're not going to find out." I say giving it back to Elena. Jeremy glared at me then rolled his eyes.

"This stuff is our parents, you can't just give it away." Jeremy said walking into the kitchen.

"We're not giving it away Jer, it's called a loan." Elena says going after him and I follow. The door bell rings and we all stare at the door before I decide to say something.

"I guess I'll get it." I say making my way toward the door. When I open it I see a familiar pair of green eyes.

"Stefan, you must be looking for Elena?" I ask.

"Oh really, because I thought you were her." he said with a small smile. I laugh at his joke.

"Well there are many differences between Elena and I, you just have to figure them out." I said walking up the stairs just as Elena walked up to Stefan and have him a hug. Was he joking when he said that? I mean the obvious give away between Elena and I is our hair.

Later that day I decided to go to the Grill to get my mind off things. When I was walking home I got up to the driveway and saw someone standing at the front door, a frown came on my face when I realized that it was Tyler Lockwood, I sighed.

"Go away, Tyler." I said as I walked up to him.

"We need to talk." he said. I brushed past him, but he got in front of the door to where I couldn't open it.

"It was a mistake to become friends with you." I say.

"You have to listen to me." he paused and I crossed my arms, "When you came to me for comfort all I wanted to be was friends. I just couldn't imagine why Brian left you at a time that you needed him."

"Yeah so you told yourself that Brian shouldn't be in the picture and you should be." I said cutting him off.

"Listen I don't regret anything that we did-"

"Nothing happened. You said that you loved me then you kissed me and I pushed you off and made you leave." I yelled at him and cutting him off again. I pushed him aside and open my door.

"If you don't tell Brian what happened then I will." he said. I stopped then turned around to look at him before I slammed the door in his face. I turned around and saw Jeremy standing by the stairs watching me.

"For the first time in my life I will ever say this, but nice." he said then went upstairs to his room.

I smiled to myself and heard Elena and Bonnie upstairs so went to Elena's room where they were looking at each others dresses.

"Well you couldn't wait for me?" I ask with a smile as I went to go get my dress.

My dress was a long red, thin strapped dress. Elena, Bonnie and I were all in the one bathroom of the house trying to do our hair. I decided to curl some parts of my short hair that fell to my shoulders. The phone started to ring and Elena ran to go answer it. Bonnie looked at me as she was doing her hair.

"Brian asked you to the Founder Party, right?" Bonnie asked. I gave her weird look before I answered her.

"Of course, why?" I ask. Bonnie shrugged.

"I don't have anyone to go with." she said.

"Awe Bon Bon, I would've gone with you. I'll tell you what, I'll save a dance for you." I say. Bonnie gives me a big smile and opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Elena storming by and making her way to Jeremy's room. I walk in to see Elena slap the headphones off of Jeremy's ears.

"Ah! What now?" he asked looking up at her.

"The pocket watch? Where is it?" Elena asks.

"What watch?" Jeremy asks giving the innocent and confused look.

"The one you stole from Mom's box. Mrs. Lockwood just called freaking out, it was on the list and she thinks she lost it." Elena explains.

"Well maybe she did. Maybe Tyler took it." he said with a small smile on his face.

"If I go online, am I going to find it on E-Bay? Is that how you pay for your pot?" she asked.

"Screw you!" Jeremy said standing up and walking over to his dresser and took out the watch and gave it to Elena, "I would never sell this."

"Then why did you take it?" Elena asks.

"Because it was suppose to be mine. Dad said is was suppose to go to the first born son."

"And it's suppose to go to you." I said from behind. Jeremy looked at me and nodded.

"Look Jeremy it's still yours. Mom promised Mrs. Lockwood, what do you want me to do?" Elena asks.

"Just take it and get out!" he said before putting his headphone back in his ears. Elena and I shared a sad look then I backed away not wanting any input on our problem.
