*Chapter Seventeen* {The Turning Point}

*Not very long but it's something. Mature*

"I live in fear. It consume me. In the early evening when I see the sun begin to fade, the fear comes, because I know that the night brings death." Jeremy reads from Johnathan Gilbert's journal.

"Well, that's depressing" Alvina comments. Jeremy grins slightly and flips through the journal when a loose piece of paper falls. He picks it up and notice it's a drawing. Suddenly he closes the journal and walks towards a box full of old sketchbooks.

Alvina leans against the headboard of his bed and watches him curiously. He grabs one of the sketchbooks and flips to a clean page. Alvina smiles as she watches him begin to draw on the paper.

Eventually she climbs off his bed and walks up behind him. She drapes her arms around him and rests her head on his. He smiles and lifts a hand running it along her arm. He bends his head down slightly and kisses her wrist. She smiles and kisses the crown of his head.

"Do you ever draw me?" She asks him quietly. He laughs quietly.

"Do I?" He moves his head to the side and up. "You're my muse, beautiful" He whispers kissing her lips softly. She grins against his lips before pulling away. He stands up and walks out of her arms. He goes towards the box and pulls out a notebook.

She slowly takes it out of his hand while gazing into his eyes. He grazes his finger against her hand as he hands the notebook over. He smiles softly at her as he lets go. She grins as sits on the edge of his bed. He turns his chair around and sits, watching her carefully.

"These are really good, Jer" Alvina praises as she looks through them. His heart swells and his grin deepens.

The sketches varied dramatically. There were some portraits and full body pictures. There were pictures of her as if it were a photograph and some pictures that were like a comic strip with words. Then there were some that were of her as a fairy and some as a human.

"My favorite is the last one" He tells her. She glances at him and tilts her head slightly. "Go on, look" He encourages her. She grins slightly and flips to the last drawing.

Reasons Why I'm in Love With 'Tinkerbell'

Alvina laughs softly to herself. She glances up at Jeremy who's grinning from ear to ear. He motions for her to continue and she looks back down.

Her ability to make me smile

Her boldness

Her love for the woods and the creatures inside it

Her sass and sarcasm

Alvina smiles as she reads through each reason. Beside the words are little sketches of her and sometimes of the both of them. By the end her cheek were on fire and her grin felt like it was going to split her face.

"You are very cheesy, creative, and adorable" Alvina said setting the sketchbook off to the side and walked over to him. She straddles his lap. He holds her close. "I love you, Jeremy Gilbert" She whispers before kissing him softly. His grip tightens around her as he kisses her back. "We need to get to school" Alvina whispers climbing off his lap. He pouts making her smile.

"Do we have too?" He whines.

"You already have low grades, you need to keep working" She encourages him.

"I am, that's why I'm doing this extra credit for Mr. Saltzman" He tells her.

"And you need to keep up the good work" She tells him. He sighs pouting but she only winks at him. He groans standing up. "Don't worry, it'll be a short day" She assures him.

"Why? Are we skipping the last half?" He asks giddily. She rolls her eyes and laughs a bit.

"No but there's stuff going on today and that always makes it go by faster" She says winking at him.

"The only way this day is going to go by quickly is if you're there with me" He flirts walking up to her.

"I'm always with you" She tells him softly. "Remember?"

"It's not the same" He whispers to her. He slowly caresses her cheek. "I'd rather have you there with me. I'd rather be able to touch you, to hold you" She smiles kissing him lightly.

"I know" She whispers to him. "It'll be ok" She promises him. "I love you" She whispers kissing him again. He pulls her even closer to him, his hands sliding under her shirt. "I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work" She mutters against his lips.

"Not even a little bit?" He mumbles. She grins slightly.

"Just a little bit" She admits making him smirk. Before he could try to continue convincing her she slides out of his grasp and escapes his room laughing when he fails to grab her.

The day moved on slowly. Every moment they spent apart was boring and uneventful. The moment they were let out of class they would gravitate to each other. Even if it was just a few moments before the next class.

"Hey, I need to talk to you" Stefan says walking up to Alvina as she searches for Jeremy after the final bell rings.

"You're still here? What's up?" Alvina asks. The last she had heard him and Damon were leaving town. Stefan felt it was too dangerous for him to stay and Damon's lost hope on getting Katherine. She could be packing and ready to follow Damon if it weren't for Jeremy.

"Damon and I were getting ready to leave when Liz came to our house. Said there's a vampire running around, they've already killed someone" Alvina looked at him more alert.

"Who is it?" She asks instantly.

"I don't know. Damon's already trying to figure it out. I'm gonna watch after Elena and I figured you'd wanna heads up" He told her.

"Yeah, thanks" Alvina nods. "If you need help dealing with this let me know"

"I will," Stefan assures her. "If we find anything we'll let you know" He tells her.

"Thanks, be careful" She warns him. Stefan nods and the two of them separate. Alvina sighs feeling even more anxious about the separation between her and Jeremy.

"Hey, there you are" Jeremy says. Alvina twirls around and relaxes visibly. "What's wrong?" He asks instantly.

"Come on, let's get home" She says grabbing his hands. He nods and follows her. She then explains to him what Stefan told her. He agrees to stay close, as if he would object.

"So, what should we do tonight?" He asks when they arrive to the Gilbert house.

"Well there's that fair that starts in a little bit or we can stay here and watch movies" She suggests. He grins and walks up to her. She backs away from him with a grin of her own.

"I think I vote staying here with you" He whispers trapping her against the wall.

"Oh yeah?" She whispers grabbing his shirt, pulling him even closer to her. "I'd like that" She whispers nodding. He grins and picks her up. She giggles and holds onto him as he takes her up to his room.

"I've been waiting to be alone with you all day" He whispers laying on the bed with her on top of him. She grins and lays her body completely on his.

"Now that you have me, what're you gonna go?" She whispers. He grins and connects their lips. Her legs slide off of his body and rest on either side of him.

He flips them over and presses her into the mattress. Her hands grab his shirt and pull it up. He sits up and throws it to the ground.

"At least Jenna's not here" Alvina grins and he smirks. "We have the whole place to ourselves"

"Better make the most of it then, right?" She nods in agreement. He arms wrap around his neck and she pulls him back down to her. She smiles loving the feeling of his warm, bare skin. She flips them over and sits on his thighs.

She unbuttons her shirt slowly and shrugs it off. He sits up and wraps his arms behind her. He unclips her bra and she pulls it off. Instead of looking down he keeps his eyes connected with hers. He tilts his head up slightly and she bends down. Her hands caress his face as she connects their lips.

Her hips rock against his lap. His grip tightens around her. She gasps as he flips them over again. She grins while he kisses down her throat, his hands working on her pants. She shrugs them off and helps him out of his own.

Knowing neither of them are particularly ready for children, Jeremy slips on a condom before slipping inside of her. She moans loudly happy she's not having to hold back with the house empty.

He begins to pick up the pace both bothering to hold back either. She moans in his ear, whispering encouraging, filthy things that turn him on even more. She slides her hand down between them and quickly rubs her clit.

Her head falls back against the pillows as begs Jeremy to keep going. She kisses along his neck before paying special attention to the mark she made on him. He moans loudly and completely loses himself inside of her.
