I own nothing to do with the Vampire Diaries; I'm just having some fun with an idea that just came to mind one day. Hope you enjoy! Please review the work of a newbie!

Never Forget

~Prologue~

Everything was going fine with Elena and Stefan until Klaus came along. They were happy but then the Ripper came to play. In the blink of an eye Stefan or the Ripper had single handedly become Klaus' bitch. Then everything down spiraled to the point that Stefan and Klaus left Mystic Falls for God knows what. Now I have a decision; have Damon compel me to forget my love with Stefan and relieve my pain or suffer with the thoughts of our lost love.

~Chapter 1~

One Year Later

"Where have you been
Cause I never see you out
Are you hiding from me, yeah?
Somewhere in the crowd"

I sang along to Rihanna's new single as I got ready for the first day of senior day. All I could hope for was no more Stefan fiascoes. It's been a year since I've seen him, but vaguely remember any actual feelings. The day I knew he was gone forever I had asked Damon to compel me into forgetting all about him, but even at night in my dreams he appears. I saw glimpses of our past, mostly bad memories involving a man I didn't quite recognize anymore. In my dreams they call him Klaus.

I once asked Damon about Klaus and he explained briefly, "Klaus is no one special and no one good and can hurt you. He's part of the things you've uncovered from your past before the compulsion." I only recently figured out that I had requested to forget. I didn't quite understand why I chose to forget.

*Ding Dong.* "Crap," I shot out as I wasn't done and Caroline was downstairs waiting. I shouted for her to come in knowing she would hear me with her advanced vampire hearing.

"Hey girlie, you're still not ready?" she asked as she casually looked me over and approved my back to school outfit.

"I know. I know. I'm late but I'm almost done." Apologizing immensely grabbing my bag and daily essentials. 'Oh God, am I ready' thinking to myself. I had usually mostly only spent my time with the usual group of friends I always had besides the lack of some memories. I hadn't branched out much and felt the nerves already getting to me.

"Okay, I'm ready!" I grabbed Caroline and off we went.

~Stefan's POV~

"Oh dear brother, get the fuck up for school!" Damon shouted at me. 'You have got to be kidding me' I thought. This is some new kind of hell. Why of all the things he does, this has to be one of them. I only got back to Mystic Falls last night since Klaus allowed me to go home. I'm no longe3r at his demand but for some God forsaken reason I believed that he was going to miss my company. Now I was up and already in a bad mood. 'Wait, school! That means I get to see Elena, finally!'

Chapter 2

~Stefan's POV~

Ever since I got out of my car everyone has just decided to stare. What is going on?

~Elena's POV~

God, this is so new, a human boyfriend with his arm around me. It's amazing!

"Oh my God, Elena!" Caroline has the most shocked expression on her face in the world, it was scary. "Stefan's back!"

"Okay that's cool." I said calmly.

"What?!" She shrieked. "Why are you not overreacting!? This is insane! He's been looking for you!"

"Okay, let him look. It's fine I mean we dated and broke up. To be truthful, I don't remember our relationship that well." I explained.

"Really? How?"

"I'm not completely sure." I know I lied. I know very well, but I don't care much to get my memory back so it didn't matter much to tell her this.

~Stefan's POV~

'There she is!' Wait, who is that guy with his arm around her? What the hell! Who the fuck is this guy?

"Elena, hey it's good to finally see you again!" I exclaimed, and then gently kissed her.

~Elena's POV~

'He kissed me! In front of Derek! What the fuck!' I slapped him and then Derek punched him in the gut, only to be slammed into the lockers by Stefan. "Stop!" I screamed. "Stefan just leave!" He looked confused, like her didn't even know her, when really it was the other way around.

"Derek, are you ok?"
