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 with a nod at Jeremy’s hand.
“It’s okay” Jeremy said, pressing his hand to stop the bleeding. Alaric came closer and ducked as well. “Let me see” Jeremy showed his hand. “Hmm, looks pretty bad. You should see a doctor” Jeremy reluctantly shook his head. “No, Ric, it’s… it’s fine. I’m not going to bleed to death” Alaric waved his hand. “Just do it, Jeremy. Okay?” he sinabi in a tone that didn’t tolerate any objection. Jeremy nodded, giving in. “I’ll give you a ride” Alaric said. He grabbed the car keys and walked to the front door, Jeremy behind him.
During the ride Alaric tried to keep a conversation. “How are things with Bonnie?” Jeremy relegated uneasy. “She broke up. I thought Elena would’ve told you that” he sinabi a little grumpy. “No, no, she didn’t tell me anything” Alaric said, keeping his eyes on the road. “I noticed she’s been a little off lately. She doesn’t talk about Stefan anymore. Not that she usually talks to me that much” “She’s a little in denial” Jeremy explained. “She has a lot going on. I think she misses Stefan madami than she wants to admit. And now that Damon hooks up with Bonnie-” Alaric braked so abruptly Jeremy bumped his head to the windshield. “Damon hooks up with Bonnie?” Alaric exclaimed, ignoring Jeremy’s ‘Ouch’. “Are you serious? Are they serious?” he continued. Jeremy looked up with an uncomprehending expression. “What is this? Why is everyone so over the tuktok surprised about Damon and Bonnie being together? Bonnie is an awesome person and well, I guess, Damon has his positive traits, too. I should want to kill Damon for stealing my girl, but I won’t. Surprising, huh? If Bonnie finds happiness with Damon, then who am I to judge?” Alaric drove further, shaking his head in unbelief. “Look, Jeremy, Damon is a very good friend and I know him. I’m not going to pretend to have seen the depths of his soul, but one thing I am sure of. He is not in pag-ibig with Bonnie. Whenever he mentioned her he talked about how she could stop Klaus from killing Elena. He didn’t care if Bonnie died in the process. All he cared about was Elena. I can’t believe that has changed” Jeremy relegated again, rubbing his forehead which still hurt a bit. “I pag-ibig my sister, she can be cool, but she’s not the world’s greatest girl ever. Sure, I want to believe Damon had a thing for her. Apparently she has to kind of power on men, I wouldn’t know since I’m her brother. But that doesn’t mean they can’t get over it. Damon must’ve realized it was a Nawawala case and moved on” Alaric clucked his tongue. How could Jeremy so easily cope with this situation?

Elena took a deep breath and started running down the hill. However, the damo on the burol started growing really fast and pushed Elena back. Elena angry pushed the damo away and came halfway the hill.
Then the earth started shaking and Elena rolled down.
The road that led to the open field cracked open and Elena’s feet got stuck in one of the cracks.
“Ha, damn it!” she cursed and she pulled her leg, but she couldn’t ilipat it. The crack grew bigger and soon she fell in a whole. A deep one.
She looked up and saw how the crack slowly closed again.
“Elena”
Elena grabbed the pader which was raw and cut her hands open, but she didn’t care. With a fierce determination she climbed up and out of the crack. She crawled away from the crack, dodged the other cracks and reached the open field.
