Dear Diary,
So much has happened today… I really don't know what to start with. The day started off fairly normal… well, as normal as a day in Mystic Falls can be these days. I decided to go for a jog to clear my head, and there was this really weird guy in a hoody following me. I ended up running into him, and it turned out that I was just paranoid; he was perfectly normal.
So, then Bonnie and I went to the Grill for lunch, and it turns out she's been having this weird dream about coffins over and over. Apparently there are four, and Klaus is inside one of them.
Speaking of Klaus, things got… interesting at the Grill. I had been talking to Damon, when HE showed up behind me. Stefan stole from him, and now he expects me to lure Stefan back here. Just one problem; Stefan doesn't care about me anymore.
So, Klaus decided to use his best, and favorite, weapon; violence. He compelled Jeremy to get hit by a car! Luckily, Alaric saved him, but ended up getting hit himself, instead. He was supposed to be fine, but his ring didn't work properly, and then this hybrid showed up at my door, and Jeremy had to kill him by chopping off his head with a butcher knife…
Diary, it's all just too much. I can't handle it… and, to make matters worse, the thing Stefan "stole" from Klaus was the coffins that contain his daggered family. And Klaus isn't going to stop until Stefan gives them back.
So… I had to get Damon to compel Jeremy to leave Mystic Falls. I feel terrible about it; I've taken away enough of his choices in the past, and here I am doing it again… but, it's for his own good. If he stays here, he'll be the first Klaus will kill.
But that still leaves everyone else I care about. Ric, Bonnie, Caroline… and Damon.
I think I'm most afraid of losing Damon. Somewhere along the lines, he became the most important person in my life… and the idea of losing him terrifies me. He's helped me get through so much this summer, and I need him now more than ever. But… it's for that reason that he's in so much danger. In fact, Klaus will probably go after him next exactly for that reason. Diary, I don't just care about him anymore. He isn't only my friend. I… I think I love him.
I've fallen in love with Damon Salvatore. I'm literally an exact copy of Katherine.
I suppose I shouldn't say that… if Damon ever read it, he would probably kill me. Or, at least give me another of his "You will never be Katherine" lectures. But it's the truth. I love him.
And he kissed me tonight, Diary. After he compelled Jeremy, we were out on the porch, and he told me that Stefan betrayed us to save his life. If Klaus died, the hybrids would have killed Damon. He told me that he had hoped he wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore; for wanting what he wants. Which, evidently, happens to be me. But, because I was "his brother's girl" he felt guilty for what he wanted. He started to walk away, but then stopped himself, and told me that, if he was going to feel guilty about something, it would be for this…
And then he kissed me. And I kissed him back, Diary. I didn't object at all. In fact, I liked it. I hated it when he pulled away and said good night. I wanted him to stay there, forever, with me.
Does that make me selfish, Diary? Is it fair that, after all I put Damon through, telling him it would always be Stefan, that now I want him? No. It's not. Because… I don't deserve him. I don't deserve to have Damon Salvatore still love me after the hell I put him through.
But he does. And now, I love him, too. So, the only question is…
What do I do now, Diary?
