Tyler parked his car on the parking lot of the Mystic Grill. He saw Caroline leaning against the wall outside drinking some Bourbon. He hoped she wouldn’t look up. But as he made his way to the entrance she looked up.
“Tyler?” she said surprised.
Just keep walking, Tyler thought.
“I know you can hear me, Tyler” Caroline said uncomprehending. “Why are you avoiding me?”
Tyler stopped and walked towards Caroline. “Caroline, hi” he forced himself to say. He scratch his hair, feeling uncomfortable. “Don’t you…don’t you have school to go to?”
“Lunch break” Caroline explained. “So, are you going to tell me where you’ve been?”
“Sure” Tyler smirked. “As soon as I believe I should tell you every little detail about my life, I will”
“Tyler, I was worried about you. Don’t you get that?” Caroline said upset. “Who knows what could’ve happened to you?”
Tyler raised his hand. “Wait, I get myself a day off and you start ringing the alarm bells? Honey, please, I know you’re dramatic, but try keeping it to the limit”
Caroline grabbed his collar and forced him against the wall. “I’m not being dramatic. I’m pissed. Your red slut friend threatened me. She thought I knew where you were. So I think I deserve to know where the hell you’ve been” she hissed.
Tyler smiled in her face. “She did, huh? I should give the girl an award. She’s got guts” Caroline let go of him and stared at him upset.
“She’s in there?” Tyler asked, walking backwards to and pointing at the Grill, that smile still on his face.
“Tyler?” she said surprised.

She bent on her knees and her hands glided over the earth. She didn’t know what she was going to find, but a strong feeling inside of her told her there was something underneath the earth. Something she needed to find.
And so she started digging with her hands. Soon her hands were wounded and dirty, but she just kept digging.
She carried on for what seemed like hours, her hands bleeding, until her fingers touched something solid. She dug faster and more fiercely, until she saw the object. When she saw Damon’s body she couldn’t breathe anymore. She covered her mouth and tears rolled over her face. She was too late.
She pulled him out of the pit and held him in her arms.
