Evening fell and the gang at Alaric’s loft had moved inside. Damon had given in to Elena’s beer request and she was now halfway her second. Status Quo was playing and Caroline made her way to Damon. She took his hand and pulled him with her. Bonnie took his place. “Hey, Elena” she said soft.
“Hiii” Elena smiled and she threw her arms around her friend and squeezed her. “How you doing?”
“Fine” Bonnie said. “You?”
“Very good” Elena answered. She looked up and gasped. “Looook, I can see the stars”
“It’s seven, it’s not even dark yet” Bonnie said. “And we’re inside. You can’t see the sky”
“They really are there” Elena said breathless. “They are so bright and shiny”
“Yeah, I think you got enough” Bonnie said, taking Elena’s beer.
In the meantime Caroline used her excuse of dancing with Damon to talk to him. “You know I’m a very bad liar and with you I’m not even going to try it. So I’m just going to come out and say it. Bonnie is really sorry for what she did to Elena. She really hopes you can give her a second chance”
Damon rolled his eyes. “You may be a bad liar, Bonnie is a great one. She’s got you all wrapped around her finger”
“You need to let it go, Damon” Caroline said. “She’s really sorry” She looked at Bonnie and gave her a sign. Bonnie got up and Elena watched how she walked to Damon. Caroline let go of Damon. “Dance, talk, work it out” She walked away.
Elena smacked the bottle, which she had stolen back from Bonnie, on the table. She staggered to Damon and Bonnie, grabbed Bonnies shoulder and pushed her away. “Stay away from him, bitch” she babbled.
“Elena, you’re drunk” Bonnie said annoyed.
“No, I’m not” Elena denied. Her head rocked up and down and she gagged. “I feel sick”

It was five minutes to Midnight. Jeremy wandered around at Fell’s Church, glancing at his watch. He looked around to see if the nurse wasn’t there yet. He heard murmur behind him and turned around quickly.
“Don’t say I’m late” the nurse said when Jeremy opened his mouth. She looked around to see if no one could see them.
“I doubt anyone’s going to see this” Jeremy mumbled. The nurse sighed and put her hand in her pocket. She took out a cylinder box and gave it to Jeremy. Sonata it said. “It’s a new medicine. It only stays in your body for a short time, and it works if you have trouble falling asleep. It’s safe, but take only one. If something happens it’s on me” she said worried.
“No one would know you gave me the pills” Jeremy said. “I’m not going to betray you”
“Well, that’s a relief” the nurse said cynical.
“Hey, can I know your name?” Jeremy asked.
But the girl was already gone.
