Elena was in the kitchen, making dinner, when Jeremy sat down on a chair, his head leaning on his hands. “What’s wrong?” Elena asked. Jeremy looked up so Elena noticed the eye bags. “What happened to you? You look like a mess. When’s the last time you had a good sleep?” Jeremy laughed scornful. “It’s been a while” “Is it because of Jenna?” Elena asked compassionate. Jeremy played with his fingers while he thought of a good reason. He knew Elena would want to know what was going on, but he didn’t want her to get involved in his mess. He believed she had enough going on with Stefan being gone and Jenna… So he told her part of the truth. “Bonnie broke up with me” he sighed. Elena’s face stiffened. “What?” “She sinabi it was better if we stopped seeing each other… She’s been pagganap weird lately” Jeremy told. “Weird, how?” Elena asked carefully. “She looked sick and I wanted to help her, but she became really aggressive. She wasn’t being herself” “Damon’s with her right now” Elena said, with an undertone of hysteria. “She can hurt him. I have to go to him” She wanted to grab the keys, but Jeremy took her hand. “Elena, just call him. If you think Bonnie’s going to do something to him you can warn him over the phone” Elena heavily nodded and took her phone. She dialed Damon’s number and waited impatiently. “Damon’s phone” she heard a tuneful voice. “Bonnie?” Elena sinabi with a trembling voice.
“Can I speak to Damon?” “Sure” Bonnie sinabi cheerfully. A few segundos passed sa pamamagitan ng while Bonnie handed Damon his phone. “Elena, what’s wrong?” “Ehm, is everything okay with you?” “Yeah, never better” “And the headache, is it gone?” “No trace left of it, thanks to our amazing Bonnie” Elena squeezed her phone. “Oh, well, okay then… Just so you know, I’m not staying in the Boarding House tonight. I’m sleeping at home” “Fine sa pamamagitan ng me. Have a nice evening, Elena” Damon sinabi and he hung up. Elena stood still with her phone in her hands. She had expected Damon to be disappointed sa pamamagitan ng hearing she wouldn’t be close to him tonight and knowing he wasn’t, disappointed her. He was with Bonnie. His headache was over, why would he want to stay around her longer than necessary? And from what she could hear during their conversation they were having a good time. She squeezed her eyes and pressed her lips together. “Elena? Is everything all right?” Jeremy asked when Elena smashed her phone on the table. “Sure. Everything’s perfectly fine” she sinabi with a forced smile.
