“How long are you going to keep avoiding me?”
Kelsey turned around and looked at Derek, who put away his phone. “Until you get it in your thick skull that I don’t want to talk to you”
“We have to talk” Derek said.
“I just buried my sister” Kelsey said emotional. “I had to leave her last night, because I was turning and now I can’t even given her a proper funeral. I just put her in the ground, like a dog”
“I’m sorry” Derek said. “I feel terrible about it. Amber was my girlfriend”
“Yeah, well, she couldn’t have meant that much to you” Kelsey shot at him. “Where were you that night? Why weren’t you there to help us?”
“I got chicken” Derek said soft.
“We have to go to the Boarding House” Damon said urgent. He looked at Derek. “You’re coming with us?” Derek looked from Damon to Alaric and then shook his head. “No, I’m going to stay here” Damon, Alaric, Stefan and Katherine ran outside, leaving Derek in the bar.
“So, once again you acted like your own cowardly self” Kelsey said disgusted.
“I’m sorry” Derek repeated.
“That’s not bringing her back” Kelsey said angry. “Don’t you get it? This is my fault! I bit her” she cried.
“No! It’s not your fault” Derek said sharp. “If she hadn’t been turned vampire one bite wouldn’t have killed her. She might’ve been sick, but she wouldn’t have died. The one who turned her is responsible for her death”
Kelsey stared at Derek. “Stefan Salvatore turned her”
Derek stuck his hand in his casaco and pulled out a stake. “Then you know what to do” he said, handing out the stake.
