Another Month Later...

Jeremy was lurking in the woods as a wolf, looking for you. He had been doing the same routine every night ever since you left, hoping to find and kill you. He'd lose your tracks when you disappeared from the ground onto the trees which frustrated him. It got to the point where he would even try to jump up the trees but just slide back down. After hours of trying and getting nowhere with it, he finally decides give it up for the rest for the night and just go home. Once there, he goes into his room and changes back into his human form. He goes over to his closet and puts on his regular black shirt and gray sweats then leaves his room. He goes into the kitchen where he sees Elena sitting at the table

Jeremy: Hey

She looks at him

Elena: Hi

She looks back down at her cup. Jeremy goes over to the counter and starts prepping to make tea

Jeremy: You're up late

Elena: Can't sleep

He nods

Jeremy: Same

Elena: You were out later than usual

Jeremy: I was trying to jump onto a tree

They look at each other then start laughing

Elena: What made you come up with that idea?

Jeremy: Her scent is always up there

Elena: You know you can ask us for help right? We've got up there before

Jeremy: I know. I just... I think about Clay and how he may never wake up so I take that anger and try to use it to make myself climb up the tree but I just slide down and I get mad and keep trying and...

The cup he's holding breaks. He eyes get wide

Elena: Jeremy

She quickly goes over to him and looks at his bleeding hand

Jeremy: Its just a scratch, I'm fine

She gives him an annoyed look

Elena: You're not fine

She takes him over to the sink and starts cleaning his hand out

Jeremy: I'll worry about my hand later. There's blood all over the floor and I don't want the guys to see

Elena: I'll clean it. Make sure you get all of that glass out of your hand

Jeremy: I know what to do Elena

Elena: You're not the only one affected by this, just remember that. We're all trying to cope with it

Jeremy: I know

He starts taking the glass out of his hand while groaning

Jeremy: Fuck

After she's done cleaning the glass and blood off the floor, she runs upstairs to grab the med kit then quickly runs back to Jeremy

Elena: Let me see your hand

He let's out a laugh

Jeremy: I can...

Elena: Just shut up and give me your hand

He raises an eyebrow as he gives her his hand. She starts cleaning it out then wraps it up when she's done

Jeremy: Thank you Elena

Elena: Your welcome. Now please take it easy

Jeremy: I will. I'm thinking of visiting Clay; would you like to join me?
