Chapter 23
Panic attacks

3RD PERSON'S POV:

Victoria just came back because she got call by Katherine telling her to come and help with Stefan who has problems with sleep. He has panic attacks and is feeling bad. Victoria knocked on Salvatore Boarding House's door as Caroline stood next to her.

She could hear Katherine talking to Stefan "And so, I may have called a backup." Victoria knew it was Katherine.

Stefan opens the door to find Victoria and Caroline standing outside, smiling as usual. "What are you two doing here?" He asked them confused.

Caroline smiles "I am your sober sponsor, and we heard that you needed help. So we came" She said.

"Really?"

Victoria nodded. "Caroline got her Mom to drop off something for us to use." She said as she moves aside to reveal the Pierce & Franklin safe that Stefan was locked in. Stefan stares at it in shock. "Don't worry. I sanitized it."

___________________________

Victoria and Stefan stand in front of the safe, which is now lying on the library's floor.

Stefan doesn't like the idea to see this safe in his livingroom. "I spent three months drowning in this thing. What the hell were you thinking?"

"Caroline was thinking it's time for you to deal with the source of your PTSD." Victoria said before Caroline could.

Stefan looks at Caroline. "And you are sure you are not just sublimating your feelings about what happened to Jesse last night?" Stefan asked and Victoria shook her head.

"Feelings? What feelings would I have about my best friend killing the guy I was crushing on?" Caroline asked.

"He was out of control, and Elena did what she had to do." Stefan said making Victoria and Caroline to roll their eyes.

"No. Elena did what she thought she had to do, just like she also thought" Caroline said as she faces him "...that Damon was good boyfriend material. Now you see where I am going with this?"

"Anyways, aren't you a drama major? What do you know about PTSD?" Stefan asked.

Caroline.smiles."Well, I know that you tried to deal with it your own way and you failed, so now..." she opens the safe door "...we are gonna try it my way."

Stefan stares at the open safe and then at Caroline and Victoria who are smiling.

Stefan is locked inside the safe, looking around nervously. Victoria is worried.

"Caroline! Do you even know what you are doing?"
