~Elena Gilbert~

A girl with long raven hair, doe eyes and a compassionate heart,

That Gilbert girl! They called her.

She survived the accident at Wickery Bridge that took the lives of her parents;

Miranda and Grayson Gilbert.

But how? The media, townsfolk and Doctors at Mystic Falls General all said it was a miracle.

But for Elena Gilbert it was nothing but a poorly executed joke being played on her,

Her parents were gone, leaving her behind with a heavy heart;

Survivors Guilt!

Her only family now living;

Aunt Jenna now her legal guardian, her stoner of younger brother Jeremy and her jackass of an uncle, John Gilbert;

her fathers younger brother.

Elena had never felt more alone than she did now.

Sitting in her room, she stared at the diary her late mother had gifted to her at the age of 10,

Full of dreams & plans for her future she once wanted & wished for.

Now her mother was gone and those dreams along with her.

Without her parents, life was not worth living anymore.

Life seemed so beautiful and full of possibilities and promise a few days ago;

Now, nothing but an endless black hole filled with sympathy casseroles and swarms of floral wreaths in memory of her loved ones.

Her tears numerous. As were the medication bottles for her headaches from the accident.

Only numbing the pain in her head and not her heart. Her sweet & compassionate heart;

Crushed, Beaten and pulled from her chest.

Nobody could understand! Nobody!

Many could try and console her and say they know.

But in reality can scarcely imagine; what it's like to lose not just your parents, but your whole life and will to live all in one day.

A fake smile was sadly enough to convince the masses that she was yes I'm fine, never better!

It was all she could do not to break down and cry like she feared she would;

if just one more person asked.

Then one day the world opened up, she saw something, a reason to live again; his name was Stefan Salvatore!

His eyes a light blue & strong arms

His smile made her smile, his laugh made her laugh.

His voice made her feel connected to her body and the world around her again.

Around him she could breathe again, bringing fresh clean air deep within her lungs.

Stefan was the key to unlocking her happiness.

And she was determined to keep it.

-THE END
