action;
See, before all that, my sister-- [ his voice catches in his throat. it's still sometimes difficult to talk about vicki. ] My sister was going through something. She was kind of a stoner, so I thought it was just drugs, that all the pot and other stuff she was doing was finally catching up to her... What I didn't realize until after Caroline told me she was a vampire was that Vicki had been in transition. The aversion to sunlight, inability to keep food down, how her jaw kept hurting -- it all clicked into place. I thought Caroline did it, because what else was I supposed to think? Suddenly my dead sister's mysterious death made sense and a had someone I could actually blame standing in front of me.
And it was my girlfriend.
She didn't do it. Damon did, and Stefan staked her after she attacked Elena. [ or so he'd been told. neither he nor jeremy could remember that night. ] But like I said, I freaked out to the point that I went to Caroline's mom and started spying on them all for her. I got Caroline to tell me everything and faked being compelled to forget, only to tell Sheriff Forbes everything later.
[ he looks ashamed, because he is. not his proudest moment, but he'd been an ordinary boy flung into the supernatural whose friends had been lying to him about everything, including what happened to his sister. it hurt. ] She may have thrown that back in my face -- her lying about everything -- when I told her I wasn't going to tell her anything about the future. Because you know, I'm a horrible person for not wanting to tell her that Tyler's mom's dead and he's been run out of town.
