Jeremy slowly opens his eyes

Elena: Why are we keeping her alive still?

Logan: Because that's what Jeremy wants

Elena: That's bullshit and you know it. She was trying to kill us. Why can't you see that?

Jeremy looks around the room. He's in the infirmary in his house

Logan: Jeremy is in charge. We have to wait and see what he wants to do with her

Peter: Who knows how long that's going to be. What if it's days, weeks, months even? Then what? We can't keep taking care of her

Jeremy slowly sits up but quickly grabs his stomach from the pain and let's out a groan. They all look over to his side

Elena: Jeremy?

They all run over to him. Elena hugs him

Elena: Thank god you're awake

He makes a pained sound but hugs her back. She quickly stops

Elena: Sorry

Jeremy: It's okay

He looks at all of them

Jeremy: How long have I been out?

Elena: A week

His eyes get wide

Jeremy: A week?

Elena: Your wounds were healing very slowly for some reason

Jeremy: Well then. I'm glad you three are safe and taking care of me

Peter: Antonio and Nick as well now

Jeremy: Are they okay?

Peter: Antonio hit his head pretty hard. He was out for a couple of hours but have him resting mostly but he going to be alright

He points across the room. Antonio is lying on one of the beds next to Nick

Logan: He's tough as nails

Jeremy nods

Jeremy: Yeah he is. What about Nick?

Elena: He was in really bad shape. Took a couple of days to fully heal. We put him on bed rest so he doesn't do anything crazy and injure himself

Jeremy: Thank god they're both safe. And Clay?

They all look at each other with a concerned look

Elena: Um Jeremy this is going to be hard to hear

Jeremy: Oh god. Is he...

Peter: No he's alive. It's just that...

Logan puts his hand on Jeremy shoulder

Logan: Clays...in a coma

Jeremy closes his eyes while looking away, letting out a heartbreaking sigh. He opens his eyes then glares

Jeremy: What about the mutt?

Elena folds her arms

Elena: Alive and well

Logan: About her...

Jeremy: I want to see her

He starts to get out of bed

Elena: Jeremy, you're in no condition to be moving around. You need to rest before you hurt yourself even more

He glares at her
