Elena noticed that her brother Jeremy had gained weight. She couldn't help but feel a pang of concern for him, knowing how much he had been through recently. She decided to gently bring it up to him, hoping he would open up to her about what was going on.
"Hey Jer, I noticed you've gained a bit of weight lately. Are you doing okay?" Elena asked tentatively.
Jeremy sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, I guess I have. I've just been feeling really stressed out lately and I haven't been taking care of myself like I should."
Elena reached out and squeezed his hand reassuringly. "It's okay, Jer. We all have our ups and downs. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what."
Just then, Anna, Jeremy's vampire girlfriend, walked into the room. She took one look at him and immediately noticed the change in his appearance. "Jeremy, what's been going on? You look like you've put on some weight."
Jeremy looked down, feeling embarrassed. "I know, I'm sorry. I've just been going through a rough patch."
Anna nodded understandingly. "I get it. But just remember, I love you no matter what. And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you."
Jeremy smiled gratefully at both Elena and Anna, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He knew that with their support, he could get through anything.
