Okay so this is the rewrite. So tell me what to change and what not. And just know that Kerri ( used to be Fire ) appearance has changed to. Her eyes are hazel and he hair used to be the color of Elena's but died it to a dark black ( the color of Damon's hair ) and has blond highlights. Also ….. Damon and Stefan had already come to Mystic Falls and Elena and Stefan are dating.

Okay so in this first chapter Elena is 15 and she has a 17 year old sister named Kerri. Kerri is moving out of the house and Elena is devastated. Elena parents are still living and Jeremy is out when all of this happens.

Leaving

Kerri was in her room lying on her bed staring up at the ceiling. She was as tired as ever. She had stayed up almost all night packing up her things. She was leaving. She never actually told anyone because she couldn't. She couldn't tell them the reason as to why she was leaving. She was going to miss all of them. Elena, Jeremy, Mom and Dad. But out of everyone she will miss Elena the most. Her and Elena was the closest out of everyone in the family. Kerri sighed knowing that just leaving was going to be hard. But she needed to get out. Kerri rolled over on her side and starred at her floor. She blinked away some tears that she felt coming and stood up. She looked around the room and saw how everything looked... plain. But no, Kerri thought, plain doesn't describe how this room looks.

"Stodgy," She said aloud. "That describes this room." Kerri then sighed again and walked over to her dresser and picked up her suitcase and put it on her bed. She then walked back over to her dresser and got the last of her clothes out of a draw that she left open last night, to tired to finish packing. She put he clothes in her suit case and then zipped it up. She felt a great magnitude of sadness knowing that she was leaving. Leaving her friends (only two friends whose names are Loren and Destiny) and her family of course.

Kerri walked over to her door and locked it knowing that Elena might just burst in at any moment and make a big scene. She then walked in the bathroom and took a long shower.

After a long shower Kerri walked out her bathroom with brown saddles and a dark blue bubble skirt and a brown shirt. She straightened her hair and decided to wear her bang out. Kerri walked over to her bed and picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was 3:00 P.M and she knew that Elena would be home soon. Kerri sighed and made up her bed. After that she unlocked her door and dragged her suitcase downstairs and put it by the door. She then walked into the kitchen being extra wary about the time. After a few minutes she heard the door open and close, and she knew that Elena was home.

Kerri walked out of the kitchen and saw Elena walking that way looking sullen, and now Kerri absolutely knew that this was bad timing.

" Elena what's wrong?"

"Stefan broke up with me today," She said trying to not cry.

"Oh Elena! I'm so sorry. And now I know what I got to tell you is really bad timing."

"What do you have to tell me?"

"I'm leaving."

"What do you mean leaving?"

"Leaving Elena. I'm moving out."

"Why? Why would you want to leave me? Especially now."

"I'm so sorry Elena. But I got to go. I have to catch my plane," Kerri turned away from Elena and called out for their parents, "Mom! Dad! Please come downstairs for a minute."

A few minutes later their parents came downstairs and looked at Elena and back to Kerri.

"Yes. What is it?" Dad said

"Dad, Mom, I'm moving out." Kerri said.

"What? When?" Their mother exclaimed.

"Right now actually. I got to go catch my plane so I'm just saying good bye."

" 'Good bye?' " Elena asked
"Yes, 'good bye', Elena. I'm sorry I should have been said something but... I couldn't." Kerri looked at Elena and then to her parents and then hurtled out of the room wanting to escape.

"Kerri!" Elena cried., which made Kerri halt.

"Yes sister, dear?" She asked

"Wh- What are you doing? Why are you leaving? You can't leave me. I need you." She started to sob

I sighed. I knew this would be hard. "Elena. Look I'm growing up now and I want out. I'm sorry"

She kept sobbing while she said " Please don't go" I always hated it when she cried.

All I did was put my bag down by the door and go hug her tight. " You act like you'll never see me again"

"Maybe I won't"

Don't say that. I will visit. I promise"

"When?" Ugh, Kerri thought, always asking questions

"As soon as I can"

"Promise?"

"Promise" Kerri looked over to mom and dad and said "I'm going to miss you all"

Mom said "What about Jeremy?"

"Oh yes!" Kerri cried out and quickly ran upstairs. She ran into Jeremy room and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote him a quick note.

Jeremy, my dear brother. I wish I could have said goodbye to you face - to- face. But I could not wait for you any longer. I'm sorry I had to say goodbye in a letter but I know you're a strong boy. Or should I say 'man'? Your growing up so fast! Take care of Elena...When I said goodbye she was a wreck. I need you to be strong. I need you and the family to be strong. My number will always be the same. Call me if you need anything or want anything. Again, I'm sorry to say goodbye like this but I must go now...Stay strong.

Your loving sister,

Kerri Marie Gilbert

Kerri reread what she wrote and nodded at her self. She then looked at he watch and realized she would miss her plane is she didn't leave that second, and so she dashed out of the room and back downstairs.

"I couldn't wait for him. I left him a note. Now I must go please, take care"

Dad said " I hate to see you grow up so fast" when I walked to the door, grabbing my suitcase.

The last thing they heard was me say before closing the door was "Me too dad, me too."
