Bad Grades

Vicki and I spent the whole night watching Tv and eating ice cream. I was woken up when I heard a snarky comment from Damon: "Oh, look at them, how adorable." I opened my eyes and I found Vicki laying her head on my shoulder. I saw Damon in front of me with his usual smug face, his hands folded at his back. I yawned and placed Vicki's head aside and quietly got up from the couch.

"You always did have a soft spot for the strays." Damon smiled and went to the liquor stand and poured two drinks. "Don't you think it's too early for that?" I asked, and he turned around holding the glass: "No such thing, brother." He handed me the glass, and I took a sip and asked, "Hey, what time is it?"

"Should be around 1 I suppose." He looked at me and asked with his eyebrows furrowed: "Why?"

"No reason." I turned around and was about to walk away when he stopped me and asked, "Where were you last night?"

I stopped: "Doesn't matter, couldn't have been able to stop you even if I wanted to."

He chuckled as he came in front of me and said, "Sure or maybe you asked that little witch of yours to create that little miracle last night… you have a certain way with the witches."

I shook my head and said, "She is a greenhorn. I doubt even that old crone can pull something like that… must be something else."

He hummed as he took a sip and said, "All the more reason for us to make haste… that is if you're still in the mood to help your big brother."

I chuckled as I took a sip and said, "Don't throw that in my face… and as far as helping you goes, I'm still going to do it."

"Great." He smacked my arm and smiled. He was about to walk away as I smirked: "You know I'm more excited for this than you." He stopped and looked at me as I came closer to him and said, "Cause I'm dying to know if she'll go for you or will it be Stefan… Are you sure even it will be you?"

He scoffed and nodded: "Good one." He finished his drink and left. I walked upstairs I needed a shower and I desperately needed to see my baby.

----------------------------------------------------------------

After getting ready I went downstairs, Vicki was still asleep. I got a blanket from upstairs and covered her before leaving. I got called "Hey." I turned and it was Stefan. "Where are you going?" 

"To your school… what are you doing here by the way? Aren't you supposed to be at School?" He nodded and we both walked outside and he said, "Well, I don't know if you know… but Damon tried to kill Lexi." He released a deep sigh as he looked at me intently.

I looked at him and said, "I figured…" He was baffled and asked, "And?" I shrugged and asked, "And what?"

"What are we going to do about it?" Stefan asked as he folded his hands.

"Im still on giving her that demon bitch so they both leave plan." He looked at me and moved closer. "It's not a joke."

"And I'm not joking either." I shook my head as I looked at him and placed my hand on his shoulder and said, "I wanted to kill him, but you weren't ready… you still aren't. Maybe you'll never be and I think that's for the better."

"Is she alive?" I asked, he nodded and I said, "Good… now drop me to your school. How do you go to school?"

He looked at me and said, "I walk." I groaned in disbelief.

We finally reached school, I found baby in the parking lot under the sun. I breath a sigh of relief as I ran my hands across the bonnet. "It's rather unbelievable that you gave your car to someone." I turned to Stefan and said, "I didn't gave it away, I merely let her borrow baby… her mother is the sheriff."

"What are you doing here anyway?" I asked Stefan as he looked at me and rubbed his hand over the mouth, "Im kinda here to say goodbye… to Elena."

I looked at him and my mouth hung open as I uttered, "You're a dickhead… what are you trying to give her emotional whiplash?!"

He sighed and put his hands into his pockets and said, "Well, it's for the best."

"Ah, no it's not… not anymore, dude. We all are in it, until all this is over. And if I'm being honest we're going to need her." 

"Need her? For what?" The school bell rang and I turned to him and said, "For stuff that's to come… so no breaking hearts for today… you understand me?" He looked at me and sighed, "Fine."

People came pouring out and I saw Elena coming out, she saw me and Stefan and was surprised to see us. "Remember don't be the rain man." I softly spoke to Stefan as I smiled. Stefan came smiling towards us and asked, "Surprised to see you here today." Elena looked at me and I said, "Yeah… just came to pick her up." I patted the bonnet of baby. "Have you seen Caroline?" 

Elena nodded and said, "Yeah she was right behind me." She looked at Stefan and said, "Can I talk to you?" Stefan nodded and they both walked away. Like that'll give you any privacy.

"What are you doing here?" I turned my back and it was Caroline with the keys in her hands.

"Had a fun day?" I asked for my keys.

"No… well, kinda." She threw me the keys and I caught it.

My eyes furrowed and I came closer to her and asked, "Why? What happened?"

She gripped her bag and looked away and said, "It's nothing…" I hummed and kept looking at her face and she said, "It's Bonnie." she turned her face and said, "She's not all that good… I don't know what happened, she wasn't talking to me…"

"Oh." I leaned on baby and looked at the keys, "You should talk to her." I looked at Caroline and said, "Yeah, don't think she'll be in taking mood with me. Last night might have been the last straw."

"At least try… I don't know but I feel like it would help." Caroline patted my back as she left. I looked behind her and Bonnie was briskly walking out of the school, clutching her books to her chest. I made my way over to her and she said, "I don't have anything to say to you."

I grabbed her hand and she turned around trying to struggle, "Let me go." I let her go and said, "It's ridiculous of me to even suggest this, but… let's have lunch."

She looked at me like I was joking and she asked, "What?"

I walked closer and said, "Let's have lunch, you wanted answers… I'll give them to you. And if at the end you feel like it, you can tell me all about this?" I pointed at her face and the overwhelming feeling of dread coming from her.

"Thanks but Im not interested and Im fine." She was walking away and I shouted, "Give me one hour?!" She stopped and turned around, "What?" I walked closer again, "Give me one hour? If after that you still feel like you don't want anything from me? I'll stay out of your life."

She looked at me and asked, "One hour?" I nodded and she said, "Fine, but after that I don't want to see your face." I escorted her to my car and we got inside as we drove off.
