The hospital
“I’m fine” Jeremy said for the seventh time. Caroline had brought him to the hospital, along with Bonnie.
“I think I should make that decision, don’t you think?” the doctor said. It was the same that had taken care of his hand. “Now, will you please lay down so I can check if you have any broken ribs?”
Jeremy reluctantly lay down on the hospital bed and pulled up his shirt, like the doctor had asked him.
“Does this hurt?” she asked, pressing the right side of his stomach. Jeremy shook his head. “And this?”
“No”
“This?”
“Oww!” Jeremy exclaimed.
“Okay” the doctor said. “We’re going to have to take some pictures”
A nurse walked to the phone and asked for the x-ray machine. Five minutes later someone walked in, riding the machine into the room.
“Jeremy, if you’re okay with it, I’d like to get some air” Caroline said. Jeremy waved his hand to say it’s okay and while the doctor took the photo’s she walked out of the room. She looked for the intensive care room and found Bonnie lying in it, connected to all kinds of threads connected to all kinds of machines.
“Why, Bonnie?” she asked sad. “Why did you have to mess with Elena and Damon?”
Thirty minutes later the doctor showed the pictures. “You must have a guardian angel who’s really fond of you” she said to Jeremy. “No broken ribs, only a few bruisers, so take it easy for a while”
Jeremy nodded. “Won’t be a problem”
“Hey”
Jeremy looked up. Alaric was standing in the doorway.
“Hi” Jeremy said.
“Is he going to be okay?” Alaric asked the doctor concerned.
“I’m sitting right here, you know” Jeremy said.
“He’ll be fine” the doctor said. “It’s almost a miracle”
Jeremy carefully got off the bed and walked outside, Alaric following him. Once they were outside Alaric took Jeremy’s shoulder.
“Don’t ever do that again” he said. “Don’t ever put yourself in danger without telling me what’s going on”
“We didn’t have time” Jeremy defended himself.
“You should’ve let me come with you” Alaric said.
“We didn’t want to put you in danger” Jeremy said. “We were worried for you”
“That’s not your job” Alaric said. “It is my job to be worried for you and Elena”
“Okay, I’m sorry” Jeremy said a little annoyed. “Can we go home now?”
“I’m fine” Jeremy said for the seventh time. Caroline had brought him to the hospital, along with Bonnie.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.

Damon raced outside and got into his car. He turned around the keys and drove onto the street. He then pushed the accelerator pedal and raced ahead.
He tried to keep his eyes open. He should have drunken some blood, if only just a little bit. He could almost feel his body breaking inside. But he had to stay awake long enough to get to the hospital.
Other drivers were hooting, because he drove from right to left and from left to right.
“Where did you get your driving license?!” someone yelled angry.
Damon felt his eyes fall down. The car drove for another few yards, while other drivers tried to avoid it.
Then the car drove off the road, turned over three times, landed on its upper side and caught fire.
