Chapter 1

Elena

The cold harsh winters days was setting in as Elena look down at her brother's plot imagining him laying in the casket in there. Tears streamed down Elena's face as a hand squeezed her shoulder in a gesture of comfort. She didn't want anyone to touch her though all she wanted was her brother back, but that was never going to happen. She had lost her brother the moment a drunk driver ran him off of the road and his car had wrapped around a telephone pole.

The police had dismissed the case, because there was no one to convict for it. The other driver had died along with her brother from the impact, but she didn't feel sorry for him. He had chose to drink that last beer, he had chose to climb into his car, put his keys into the ignition, and drive on the road. Her brother hadn't chose to die the guy behind that other wheel had and she would never forgive him. She just hoped that wherever his family was they were ashamed of themselves for raising such a selfish son.

Damon

Damon looked down at his brother's grave as he pulled his coat closer to his body wondering what the hell had his brother been thinking that night. Why the hell had he drove his car drunk? Did he ever think about the consequences of his actions? Not only had he killed himself when his car had flipped over off the road instantly killing him, but he had killed another person. A person who had a family. A person who had a life with just as much potential as Stefan did. He couldn't imagine what the other family was going through, but he did know that his family was having a hard enough time as is.

The trail had never gone to court nor had the other family found out who really killed their son only that he had died alongside him, but it didn't mean that Damon's family didn;t feel the weight of Stefan's decision. His family was in shambles and it was without a doubt well deserved.

He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and placed it on Stefan's grave letting it slip through his fingers as he shook the leftovers off when he was done. Giving Stefan's grave one last look Damon turned around and went to live the rest of his life not knowing that the consequences of his brother's actions were far from over.
