Part Of The Plan

Elena and I were sitting on the couch when Jenna came to sit down with us

You're wallowing.

So are you.

My wallow is legitimate. I was dumped.

Yeah. Well Logan's a jerk. I said

You didn't get a brush-off e-mail say: "I'm leaving town. See ya."

Wanna keep it down over there? Jer said from behind us

Why? What are you doing?

Homework.

Since when do you do homework?

I gotta finish this. I'm way behind and I have a quiz tomorrow so...

We all shared a surprised glance

What do you think? Alien?

Some sort of replicant.

Or a clone i added

He can hear you. Jer said

X

Elena and I were laying in Elenas bed

You up? I heard Bonnie say

No.

Why haven't you called me back?

I'm sorry.

Are you gonna stay in there forever?

Yep.

Move over.

Bonnie lied beside us

I'm officially worried. What's going on?

I'm tired of thinking...of talking I...

Can I get a one-line version so I can at least pretend to be helpful?

Stefan and I broke up.

I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Right stupid question. I know I've been kind of MIA when you need me the most. I suck.

You wanna make it up to me. Get my mind off of it.

Just remember you asked for it.

Bonnie closed the windows and grabbed one of Elena's pillows. She ripped it and emptied it of the feathers.

Hey! Elena yelled

Be patient.

OK.

I need to swear you to secrecy.

It's kind of a bad week for that kind of stuff.

Swear, 'cause I'm not supposed to be showing you this.

OK, I swear.

There's no windows open, right?

Right.

There's no fan. No air conditioning.

None. What are you doing?
