So this is my first time attempting to write a fanfic. It's set after The New Deal after Damon leaves. It will mainly be StefanxElena and JeremyxAnna. There isn't much of either couple in the first chapter, but I promise there will be eventually. I have an idea for the next chapter but I want to know what you think of this chapter before I write and upload it. So please review! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or Vampire Diaries. Although I wish I did. I only own the characters Ada and Sean for now.
Going Away
Here's the thing Jer. You're going to go out of town for a while. A long while. You're going to stay with some nice family friends in Denver, you're going to be at a new school, meet new girls, living girls. You're going to drink a few beers, take an art class, do whatever you want.
Tell him he's gonna leave mystic falls behind. And never think twice about it.
You're gonna leave mystic falls behind and never think twice about it. You're gonna have a better life Jeremy.
No ones POV
Jeremy started packing to leave mystic falls. He didn't know why, but he knew he had to. When he had everything ready to leave he loaded his bags into his car then went to look for Elena.
"Elena? Ric?" Jeremy yelled into the house.
"Yeah Jer. Right here. Are you all packed and ready to go?" Elena asked sadly as she walked out of the kitchen with Alaric.
"Yeah I think so."
"See ya Jer. We're gonna miss you here. Don't slack off too much at your new school." Alaric joked.
"Ah, don't worry. I'll be fine."
"Alright. I'll leave you two to say your goodbyes then." Alaric said with a smile. He turned and started walking away when Jeremy stopped him.
"Ric?"
"Yeah Jer?"
"Thanks. And take care of Elena while I'm gone ok?"
Alaric smiled and nodded once then walked away. Jeremy paused for a second before turning to face Elena.
Tears started running down Elena's face as she ran into Jeremy's arms for a hug.
"I'm going to miss you so much." Elena cried. "You have to promise to call me and email me whenever you can ok?"
"Don't worry sis. I will. But I can't come back."
"Don't worry. I know. I love you so much Jer. Don't ever forget that."
"I love you too Elena. I'll miss you." Jeremy said sadly. "I guess I better get going now."
"Yeah. Of course." Elena said while wiping her tears with her sleeve. "I love you."
Jeremy smiled and waved while getting into the car. Alaric walked out of the house to stand on the porch where he and Elena watched and waved to Jeremy as he drove away.
"I'm so sorry for compelling you again Jer. I hope you will forgive me when you find out." Elena whispered as she watched. Alaric reached out and put an arm on her shoulder to reassure her then he slowly turned and walked back inside. Elena stood outside for a while after Jeremy's car disappeared into the night before going back inside the house.
She closed the door then ran up to her room and began to cry. She picked up her diary and started writing. She wrote about how sorry she was and how bad she felt about compelling Jeremy again. She wrote about how much she would miss him. She wrote about talking to Stefan. She wrote about Damon kissing her. And she wrote about how much she hated Klaus. As she wrote, her tears would fall onto the page smudging her words. Eventually, she cried herself to sleep.
Downstairs, Alaric had the tv on, but he wasn't paying attention. He was busy thinking about everything that had happened.
Eventually, Alaric went upstairs to go to sleep, but he stopped at Elena's room to make sure she was ok. He found her asleep on her bed with her diary and a pen on her lap and tears staining her face. His heart started aching at the sight. He considered Elena his daughter. And it hurt him to see her in so much pain. The worst part is there was nothing he could do about it.
He took her diary and closed it then gently placed it on her bedside table, then pulled her blanket up to cover her. He looked at her sadly one last time before turning out the lights and walking out of her room to go into his own.
Jeremy's POV
I kept driving towards Denver. I felt tears running down my face. Why did I leave? I'm supposed to help protect Elena. I wanted to turn around and go back, to go home, but something was telling me to keep going towards Denver. I kept driving. Then I passed a sign that said Welcome to Denver.
"Well, I guess there's no turning back now." I said to myself.
I arrived at the address that Elena gave me. It looked like a normal home. No vampires, no witches, werewolves or ghosts. But then again our house looked pretty normal too. I turned off the ignition, got out of the car then walked up the steps to the door. I rang the doorbell hesitantly and waited. A woman wearing an apron opened the door.
"Hi. You must be Jeremy. Elena called earlier to ask if you could stay with us. My name is Ada. I was your mother's roommate in university. I'm sorry I couldn't attend her funeral. She was such a wonderful person." Ada said.
I responded, "Yeah. Thank you for letting me stay here."
"No problem. Are all your bags in your car?"
"Yeah. Ill be right back."
"My husband can help you with those. Sean!" she yelled "Can you come help Jeremy with his bags?"
A man walked towards the door and introduced himself. We walked out of the house and started unloading the bags from my car. We brought all of the bags upstairs to the guest room I was staying in.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you to unpack and settle in. Call if you need anything. We'll be downstairs."
"Ok. Thanks."
Jeremy slowly began unpacking. Clothes, books, pictures. His mind wandered to his family. Everything was perfect before his parents died. No vampires, no werewolves, nothing supernatural. It was easier and happier at that time. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Come in." I yelled.
Ada walked in.
"Hey. I just wanted to tell you that we will be going to the high school tomorrow morning to enrol you. I've already arranged a time to meet with the school to decide what classes you will take and stuff."
"Ok. Thanks."
"No problem. Did you eat dinner yet?"
"Yeah. I had dinner before I drove here."
"Oh. Well I made dessert in case you wanted any."
"That sounds great. Thanks. Just let me finish unpacking this bag. I'll be down in a sec."
Next Morning
Jeremy's POV
"Well, you've been enrolled into this high school." Ada said with a smile. "You start school on Monday. Here's your schedule. Another student will be here in a minute to give you a tour of the school. I'll wait in the car for you to finish."
I smiled, "Awesome. Thanks. See you later then."
Ada walked out the doors to the car and left me alone in the office waiting for the student to give me a tour. I looked around at all the pictures on the wall. It seemed like a nice place to be. Everyone seemed happy and carefree. A little while later, a girl with dark wavy hair walked into the office and went to talk to the secretary. I looked down at my schedule to see when I had art not paying much attention to her.
No ones POV
The girl walked into the office to talk to the secretary. She was responsible for giving some new kid a proper welcome and of course a tour of the school.
"Hi. I'm looking for the new student. I was told I have to give him a tour." the girl said.
The secretary looked up and smiled to the girl, then pointed to Jeremy. The girl walked towards him and noticed that he looked familiar. As she got closer, she realized who he was.
"Jeremy?" she asked in shock.
Jeremy looked up to see who was talking to him. "Anna?"
So that was my attempt at writing a good fanfic. Hope you liked it. Please review! And be gentle. I've never written anything like this before. Although I do need some constructive criticism. I plan on writing another chapter of this story if I get enough positive feedback for this.
