"Jeremy..." He sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. This was going to be difficult. "Can we talk?" He gestured to either walk one way or to head towards his office. This had to be up to Jeremy, after all... if Alaric wanted him to open up, the boy needed to feel comfortable.

Jeremy gave Alaric a weird look that teenagers usually did when they didn't understand what was going on exactly "Yeah...uh sure." nodding his head he began to walk along the path away from his friends, or associates, he didn't really have many friends.
"So.. what is it you wanna talk about?" he looked at him with slight guilt in his eyes "I mean..if it's about that fight, i'm sorry. But he was asking for it." averting his eyes to the path ahead.

Ric sighed and stuffed his hands in his Levi pockets. The sound of the heels of his shoes echoed as he walked, it sounded so very loud to him as he tried to focus on helping Jeremy.
"Look, Jer... I'm worried about you." There was that permanent frown again. "I mean, first your grades are dropping, now there was that fight... and the cannabis, Jeremy! What's going on with you, man?"

Jer sighed, looking away from him with a slight eye roll. Great.. he thought. "Nothing's wrong with me Ric, i'm-" he got cut off as his gaze landed on a figure beside him, it was Vic again, she shook her head at him to tell him not to say a word, he quickly looked back at Ric "I'm good, really." he gave a reassuring smile, even though he was lying, but he couldn't let him know about this, not yet - It would just add more disappointments to his lists of disappointments. "the drugs just help.. it's weird but they make me feel better." he grinned a little "don't tell me you've never done drugs before.."

"Sure Jer, I mean, experimenting is part of being a teenager but, man... that's not the point. What the hell could be so bad... so stressful that the drugs are the only thing that make you feel better?" There was that frown again, he was sure it would just permanently be there forever if he didn't find something to stop worrying him. Yeah.... like that is ever going to happen! "Come on, Jer... talk to me; I want to help you. Is it because of Vicky?"

Letting out a soft sigh, he knew Alaric wouldn't stop asking, he was always like that, maybe it was a teacher thing, he didn't know. He stopped in his tracks and looked to Alaric with a slight frown as well. "Because of Vicky? ..How-" he shook his head and knew he meant about her dying, for a moment he thought he'd given it away "Yeah. She's dead. I'm just finding it hard to get over it I guess." he nodded and began walking again, letting out a sigh of relief "I can't stop thinking about her. And then I think about Anna.. basically any friend I have, dies."

Alaric stopped for a moment, there was a bench near them but that wasn't why he had stopped. He and Jeremy were similar in this sense; they both blamed each other for the deaths of those close to them. Ric was startled by this revelation and his gaze softened from the hardness of the teacher to the warmth of a guardian.
"Jeremy..." He sat down. "I know what it's like; I blame myself for my wife's disappearance. I shouldn't have let her get so deeply into it all... I should have been there for her and I wasn't. Look, it's not your fault, it's no one's fault. Sometimes these things just happen an... and there's no reason why." He sighed. "Life isn't fair, Jeremy; we are all proof of that."

Hesitating for a moment, Jeremy finally sat down on the bench keeping some distance, since that was how he always felt; distant and it always showed in his behaviour, that someday he hoped would get better along with his life but that was a long shot.
"Yeah you're right. Life sucks." he replied with sadness in his tone. Glancing at him, looking into his eyes he wondered how he deals with his troubles, he saw him drink occasionally but maybe jer was blind to it all. "Promise you won't tell Bonnie..?"

With his elbows propped on his knees, Ric rested his head on joined hands and looked to Jeremy. Good... alright, breathe.... listen to him; help him... you need to do this, not just for yourself, not just for Elena... but for him. He deserves a good life.
"I promise." He breathed slowly, his eyes showing his truth.

A smile formed on his lips with a little nod. "Thanks" glancing away for a moment he looked back with a sigh and stood up from the bench. "Well if that's everything? I better be going.." he sounded almost awkward, he'd placed his trust in Alaric and hoped he would be able to keep it. As he stood he swung his bag back onto his back and smiled down at him "you gonna be ok? You look kinda..." he made a gesture to show he meant 'off' or 'strange'.

"Alright Jer...." He said softly, there was still a look of sadness in those eyes of his. Drop it now, if there's anything else... well, maybe he'll talk to you of his own accord. "Promise me you'll try and keep your grades up? I don't want you flunking because of this, man."
Alaric ran a hand over his face and back through his hair, sighing. "Yeah... I'm alright. Just tired now... I'll see you later, Jeremy." He wanted to stay on the bench for a while... or get a drink. A drink would stop him thinking about everything; Alaric Saltzman being left alone to brew over his own thoughts was never a good thing.

He let out a slight chuckle scratching his head. "Uhh.. Sure, Ric." he nodded his head slightly. Frowning suddenly, he knew something was off but he shook his head slightly "..Well if you need me i'm here. Not that you'd wanna talk to a stoner kid anyway." he showed a slight smile "See ya later." he turned around and headed home, maybe he'd get to speak to Anna again? He was hopeful, he kind of missed her today.
