Hazel is more worried about Jeremy than anything. She knows that he was extremely torn up about Vicki's disappearance that it drove him crazy until Damon had compelled him to not look for her or think too much about her—and to think she had run away rather than died. But, now that the whole town knows that Vicki Donovan is dead because Caroline had accidentally stumbled across her dead body that Damon had buried months ago during the storm, it had made him spiral completely. He's thinking about how it could've happened because the Sheriff's department had ruled it as an accidental overdose because of her history, but Jeremy refuses to accept that ruling (and he's correct to because it wasn't) because someone had taken the time to bury her in the woods. He's convinced it was murder, and unfortunately for him, he's correct. Hazel just isn't sure how to tell him that without uncovering everything there has to do with vampires along with it.
Hazel had spent the weekend consoling Jeremy despite her nightmares and the pain her body was in still. Her back was covered in a large and ugly purple bruise that reminded her of the ones on her chest after the accident from having CPR performed on her to bring her back to life. They were ugly and painful, but it reminded her that she was still alive. Some days it was a good thing, but some days, it filled her with sorrow because her parents weren't.
Monday had rolled around quickly unfortunately, and as much as Hazel wanted to cocoon herself into bed and sleep the day away since she spent the weekend consoling Jeremy and Matt about Vicki, both at home and at the funeral, Hazel felt like she wasn't restful nor prepared for the week. But, unfortunately, school doesn't care about personal lives or vampires because she has a test she needs to be in class for.
Hazel was walking down the stairs towards the front door with Elena by her side, "Come on, Jeremy, going to school!" Hazel yells out at Jeremy, who was up in his room, because if he doesn't go with them, he has to walk or catch the bus since he doesn't have his licence, "We're walking out the door now!"
Jenna chased after the twins, handing Elena a thermos that had fresh coffee in it, "You forgot this."
"Thank you." Elena says gratefully.
Hazel opens the door and her smile drops. If she wasn't prepared for school, she definitely wasn't prepared for the person standing on the other side of her door; who was just about to knock and smiling at her and Elena like it was just yesterday that they saw him, "Girls!"
"Uncle John, hi." Hazel responds tightly. She feels so awkward around him because everyone in the family detests him—and rightfully so, he can be an asshole.
