there’s only so much hurt a man can take.

The susunod morning
Jeremy stumbled off the stairs; he probably would’ve fallen down if he hadn’t hold on to the banisters. Coffee, he needed coffee and lots of it. He staggered to the kusina and opened the cupboard to get out a cup. He managed to take three out and watched them shatter into pieces on the floor.
“Damnit” he sinabi and he ducked to collect the fragments. He picked one and naturally cut his hand. “Shit” he cursed.
“It’s never a good idea to swear in the very early morning” Alaric entered the kusina and noticed the glass and the blood. “Does it hurt?” he asked...

The door slammed open and Katherine speeded to the living room where Jeremy and Elena were still watching television. Katherine panted and they turned around. “Seriously? Stefan’s gone, Damon’s being controlled sa pamamagitan ng Bonnie and you are watching television?” she exclaimed upset. Elena pointed at the telebisyon screen. “This is a very educative documentary, Katherine. It’s about-” “I don’t give a fuck about what it is!” Katherine screamed. She flashed in front of Elena. “I don’t know what Bonnie did to you, but I need you to snap out of it, as in right now!” Elena sighed...

Caroline was in her mom’s study room she used to do some paperwork, searching Amber Lindy’s file. After what Matt told her it was easy to put the pieces together. A girl she had never seen before and who could hear everything? A girl who could drink without having to ipakita her id? It was close to obvious who this chick was, but Caroline wanted proof before she informed Damon and Elena… and Katherine.
“What are you doing here?” Caroline turned around. Her mother was in the doorway, an austerely expression on her face. “Nothing” Caroline sinabi fast, too fast. She raced to her mom...

The susunod morning Bonnie felt a lot better and it looked like the weather was copying her mood. She walked outside to get some fresh air and almost stumbled over Jeremy.
“Jeremy?!” she exclaimed. Jeremy startled and looked up. He was completely soaked and wrecked. “Oh my God, you sat here all night? Let’s get you inside” Bonnie sinabi worried. She sounded like herself again, Jeremy noticed. He got up and followed her inside. “Why didn’t you go home, Jeremy?” Bonnie asked, while she was putting some tea. “I was worried” Jeremy said, shaking from the cold. “You were pagganap very...

Liz was standing in her office, her deputy’s surrounding her. She was briefing them about the murder last night. Caroline was standing outside, making sure her mother couldn’t see her, and kept her ears wide open.
“The boy’s name’s Derek Janders. He was Amber Lindy’s boyfriend. Amber’s the girl that lived there. According to Mrs. Lindy Amber had been pagganap off earlier that day. She came home, wrecked, like she was sexually assaulted. Mrs. Lindy insisted Amber to ulat this, but Amber became aggressive and violent. She threw Mrs. Lindy on the ground and then basically robbed the...

Bonnie closed her suitcase and lifted it from the ground. She carried it, but it was really heavy. She needed Caroline for this. After all she would need a place to stay when she left the clinic. Which was today. She had signed her release.
“Are you going somewhere?” a male voice asked. Bonnie waited for Keith to catch up with her. Maybe he could carry her suitcase for her. And indeed, as soon as he was standing susunod to her he said: “Here, let me do that”
He took the suitcase out of her hands and released Bonnie from her burden.
“So, are you leaving?” he asked.
“Yeah, I feel a lot...

Elena was leaning against the door trying to hear what was being sinabi when Damon pushed the door open. Elena rubbed her temple and looked angry at Damon.
He frowned, then got the picture. “Sorry” he mumbled.
“Where’s Kat?” Elena informed.
“Gone” Damon sinabi short. “She won’t bother to come here…ever”
Elena gave him a weird look, but decided not to ask any further. Not about Kat, anyway. “Was that Caroline? I thought I heard her voice”
“Yeah, but she’s gone too” Damon said.
“Why?” Elena asked.
“I sent her away” Damon said, avoiding Elena’s look.
Elena shook...

“What the hell are you doing here?” he asked shaking.
“I’m just paying Elena a visit” Katherine sinabi casual. “That’s all”
“How dare you come around here?” Damon said. “After what you did? You attacked Elena, you almost got me killed”
“I tried to convince you to drink blood, but Rebekah compelled you” Katherine tried to explain. “Which is why I told you you have to drink vervain again”
“I want you gone” Damon sinabi threatening. “I want you out of our lives, for good”
Katherine shook her head. “You need me, Damon”
“No, I don’t” Damon disagreed. “I...

Caroline walked out of the grocery tindahan and closed the door. She turned around and bumped into Tyler.
“Sorry” she mumbled and wanted to walk away, but Tyler called her.
“Caroline, wait up” he said.
Caroline held her steps, but didn’t turn around. Tyler walked to her.
“Hey, I’m…I’m sorry for last time” he started uneasy. “I was a little uptight”
Caroline raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t act uptight, Tyler. You acted like a jerk”
“I know, but I’m trying to explain myself here” Tyler continued.
Caroline shuffled with her left foot over the paving. She then looked...
