Jenna isn't in the room when Elena wakes up. She'd worried she would miss being able to help Elena understand what had happened because she'd had a thesis meeting she absolutely couldn't miss - her advisor wasn't one of those who understood family emergencies and no matter how many times she explained it or in how many ways, he still wouldn't let her get out of the meeting.

She hurries back afterwards, as quickly as she can. There's a flurry of activity going on around Elena's room when she gets there, the doctors checking over the girl, letting Jenna know that she's finally awake. But Elena still doesn't know. No one's been able to tell her; no one wants to. Jenna told Jeremy as soon as she found out, because she thought he needed to know and telling the kids one at a time would be easier on her.

Now, however, she faces the hardest one. With her jacket over her arms, she takes a deep breath and pushes the door open. The doctors and nurses are all gone, having given Jenna specific instructions to call them if anything happens. She shuts the door softly behind her just as Elena voices her question. Feeling her heart break, Jenna lets her purse and jacket fall to the chair by the bed as she leans over to try to reassure Elena and keep her lying down.

"You were in an accident, Elena," she murmurs softly, unsure if her niece will remember her voice after so long. She hasn't been in Mystic Falls in a few years, not since Logan Scumfell. "You just need to rest a little bit, okay?"

She is so not the person for this job. All she wants is to go out drinking, smoke a little pot, and pretend this is all just a terrible dream.
