A/N: Just an FYI, I know this is short but I assure you that normal chapters will have more meat. I am going to try to update once a week, don't hold me to that though.

This is my first attempt at writing a Vampire Diaries/Delena fanfic so please bear with me. Now this story is going to be told from Damon's POV, but I'm a girl so I apologize beforehand if the guys come off a bit… feminine.

Before we begin I want to send a special thank you to Shany for dealing with my special kind of crazy.

Prologue

How did my life come to this?

This is the only thought running through my head as I lie here, lazily draped across the black, leather couch in my room. With my hair in disarray, my facial hair stubbled from lack of shaving, I just lie here, completely still in a wrinkled black t-shirt and a pair of black, silk boxers (I don't even know or care where my pants have gone). Staring off into space, my eyes hazy with drink won't close because every time they do bittersweet moments from the past six months replay like a movie behind my eyelids, my head won't shut off, trying desperately to pinpoint the moment everything went to hell. I have not moved except to use the toilet and to get more alcohol from the bar cart in the corner.

The usually pristine room is now a mess after my version of a therapy session two days ago; fragments of furniture and various broken nicknacks litter the carpeted floor, the bed is a rumpled mess, covers strewn haphazardly, books, loose papers, and DVDs torn from the desk and shelves lay discarded, amongst empty bottles.

The nearly empty bottle of Maker's is clutched in my fist as I realize that I'm alone.

All alone.

Have been for days, thank god for being the head of this fraternity and my own private bathroom because the last thing I want right now is to deal with people.

Maybe I've been alone forever, or at least since my mom died when I was ten. My heart shattered that day and I vowed to harden my heart from that day forward. I did. Random sex and heavy booze became my focus. The only reason I am in college is my father's money, and easy access to a seemingly endless line of babes and a party every night, the few buddies I have here are my frat brothers and their friendship is based more on convenience than anything else. I only had one soft spot, my pride and joy, my baby… my blue 1969 Chevy Camaro Convertible.

Well, that's gone now too, but I'll get to that later.

The real reason my room is a disaster, I'm a disaster, my life is a disaster is the reason behind most great and tragic things in life. A girl. Because of one girl. But this story isn't just about any girl, this girl was forbidden. Not just a forbidden girl, but THE forbidden girl.

And I just had to have her.

A/N: So thanks for reading, I hope it wasn't that terrible… but it's just the beginning. Regardless, please leave a review!
