Fine. Fine. Just.. don’t look okay. This has the potential to go two drastically different ways and if it goes the negative way, I need you to promise me that you will not tell a soul..
Dear Natalie Gilbert… We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded an audition at New York University.. Oh my god, Troy.. I have an audition.. I actually have an audition next week! This is actually happening..
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a constant and I haven’t asked anyone but I’m pretty sure its’ true. You’re probably right though I do think sooner is better than later but I understand where you’re coming from. If you need anything, let me know..
Like there was any other way this could go. Congrats, Natalie. You’re going to do something with your life.
Let you know? Are you some vampire expert? Speaking of… how did you know? Stefan told you but I find it hard to believe he just went to you and said something out of the blue while dropping the bomb that he is one too. Unless you already knew about him…

I can’t.. Not yet.. It’s not the right time.. not with everything going on…
Right, right. I think it’s better if you talk to him, or Stefan really, sooner rather than later. It’s better to know everything as soon as possible. I tried Google myself. There’s a lot of wrong information.
It is the right time. Especially because of everything going on. If you don’t open it- I will.
Kol’s lucky I’m not trying to push a stake through his chest right now. Out of everything that I can find, that’s the only thing that remains consistent. Stakes through hearts kill. I’d take that as clue enough. If I talk to Stefan, I’ll never get off the subject of Charlie so I’ll just suck it up and talk to the fucking asshole at some point.

broadwaybound-natalie:
I.. what.. No that’s.. that’s not possible.. I already looked through that… Oh my God.. It’s really here..
I can only imagine, Troy, and I’m terribly sorry for this but I think what she needs now more than ever is to know that everyone is still there for her, even if she wants no one around her. She needs to know we still care. Oh? Learn anything interesting that you care to share?
Well.. open it.
Right. I’ll.. get around to it. Nothing I know which is factual. My research is really notes composed of what I wish to ask to Kol once I decide when we’re on speaking terms once again.

I don’t know. But do you have any idea how stressed I’ve been since prom? I’ve known about what’s going on for just over a week now and then all of a sudden, four of my friends disappear off the face of the Earth and refuse to answer my calls. Especially Callie. God knows what could’ve happened to her. And then I’ve been dealing with school and Grayson and did you know that I’ve yet to receive my NYU letter? Because I haven’t and it’s killing me. And then I had an exam today that I barely studied for because I was too busy organizing a search party for you guys up until Stefan texted me and now I don’t even know how I did but I’m just really glad you guys are okay. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you weren’t and I’m sorry for cursing at you today, I was just really worried and I might’ve taken my anger out on the wrong people.
I texted her earlier. She was very vague and said we would talk later. I trust Stefan.. He seems.. genuine. She’s in good hands. What were you researching?
…. You mean this NYU letter? Under all of this junk mail on your kitchen counter? My, my Natalie. How did this escape your observant little eye? I’m actually shocked.
I… haven’t. I want to but… you weren’t there that night. You didn’t see her face and her and…. she’s taking it really hard. Research on vampires. I’ve taken more notes than I ever have for any classes in high school.

I don’t hate you, Troy. I’m just disappointed, that’s all. Come in. How’s Charlie? Have you seen her since the transition?
Disappointed with the fact that I didn’t say anything? I had no idea you even knew anything. How was I suppose to even begin to break that to you?
I haven’t seen or talked to her since prom. She’s staying with Stefan. I’ve been at Callie’s doing research.

I figured that if I wanted you to not hate me by the end of this conversation, I should probably show up in person and give myself some type of credentials.

[Stefan stayed relatively quiet and allowed people who knew Charlie way better than he did to begin to break the news to her. His eyes rolled at Kol’s initial comment but he was fairly impressed when he moved on to continue to help the girl rather than hinder. Eyebrows furrowed together when he heard the white lie coming from both Callie and Kol but he decided not to voice anything, finding interest in the grass. The vampire felt like he was invading personal moments, making him feel out of place and causing him to block out most of what was being said until he felt like he was needed. Once Charlie commented on not wanting to hurt anyone, he looked up to see the werewolf boy now near her- stupidly, he thought, considering his blood would still affect her- and moved off the cooler. He bent over, opening it and grabbing a random one] Luckily for you, you don’t have to. [he turned back to face the girl, holding a O neg blood bag in his hand and walking closer to the girl] It’ll be hard. Really hard, but it’s possible. I’ll… if you want me to be, I’d help you out through the entire process. [he observed the crowd around them, not knowing if one of them was going to pounce on him and tell him to shut up. He might’ve talked to Charlie probably fewer times he had spoken to Callie but that didn’t erase any want that he had for her to successfully be alike Caroline. The girl had slipped less than a handful of times] You won’t be able to walk in the sunlight for the time being but… I’ll work on getting you one of these. [his finger tapped against the ring he never took off] It’s got a spell on it that allows me to go out in the daytime. But for right now, I think the inability would be a good idea considering you need to get a grasp on control. [Stretching his hand out with a smile that was meant to be reassuring, he watched the girl carefully with a raised eyebrow] I do believe you can do it, Charlie. [he said softly, wanting to give her words of comfort. He really did believe those words. From what he could see, she was a strong girl. Not unlike Caroline back when she was human]
[Charlie could feel panic taking over her body far too quickly. She wanted to cry, scream, and meltdown all at once. She couldn’t be the monster they were suggesting. The idea that this was a transition, that she could become rapid.. it was increasingly more overwhelming by the minute until Troy sat beside her. Since waking up, Charlie had been avoiding look at him. Everytime she did there was an overwhelming ache in her chest. It was as hollow and empty as the silence that followed when she had told him how much she cared about him at the dance. But with him beside her again, a little bit of the warmth came back. Charlie was suddenly met with the desire to both slap him, and drop her head into his lap and cry at the same time but neither seemed appropriate when she felt his hand grip hers and heard the desperate tone in his voice. How could he not lose her? How did it matter if he—] You c— [Her forehead crinkled in a quiet question before she stopped herself. Cut off by Stefan speaking, Charlie looked up. She didn’t have a choice. The look on all of her friend’s faces told her this is what had to happen and somehow this would both keep her from becoming a monster and make her one all at the same time. Swallowing hard, she took the blood bag from his hands. Charlie put her mouth to it, drinking a sip and wincing as she did so. Suddenly, though, it didn’t feel so weird, and then she didn’t stop. WIthin a few hungry seconds the bag was gone. Instantly it left her fingers. Charlie threw it against the nearest wall, feeling her body shake with rage and a mix of other emotions when she realized what she had done. She curled her legs quickly into her chest, sitting against the wall behind her as if she could dig herself further into it. Wide eyes then moved to Troy, shoving him off the bench as she did so.] Go. Get out! You both can’t be here! I can’t— just leave! Please… I can’t… I can’t be here. You can’t see! Go!
[The way she looked confused over his words caused the knot in his throat to appear once again. Their moment was interrupted and he wasn’t sure if this was a good or bad thing, though he opted to just turn his attention towards the vampire who was now talking and holding out a blood bag to Charlie. He held his breath and silently squeezed Charlie’s hand again. He let her hand slip from his afterward so she could take the bag and begin to drink the blood. He worried his lip as he watched her drink it, the bag gone faster than he thought it would be but he couldn’t find himself caring. The reality of the situation hadn’t hit him yet- not really. He was still centered around the fact that Charlie was okay in a physical nature and she was going to stay that way. He found comfort within that thought and kept with it. Except, he was snapped back into things when the bag went flying away and Charlie seemed to start to shake] Char— [before he could register what was going on, he was shoved from the bench and hitting the grass and dirt. He stayed seated on the ground and looking up at Charlie, a worried expression on his face as he switched his gaze towards Callie. She wanted them to leave? How could he when he needed to stay near her to be reminded that she wasn’t gone?] Charlotte….. [he murmured, slowly rising from the ground and subconsciously dusting off his clothes]
