Never Be The Same
~ Chapter 1

Elena's POV

I saw them again.

I felt the Winter wind crashing against my face as I got out of the school-bus and looked to my left, there they were, waiting for me, sitting on the pavement, smoking a cigarette, as always. I caught the eye of Damon Salvatore, the eldest one of them. He was what every girl in the school wanted. When I met him, I wanted him just like any other girl here who didn't knew him like I did. I still recalled the first time I met him one year and a half months ago.

-Start of Flashback-

I was walking to my first day of school when I saw a guy that I didn't recognize from this town. He was beside a blue Ferrari, which I assumed it was his. All I could figure out from the distance was that he was wearing a fitted white tank-top with a black leather jacket on top of it, dark jeans and black boots.

As I arrived in the school entrance I waved to my two best friends Caroline and Bonnie who seemed to be rushing for class, I on the other hand was taking it more easy. I made my way to my locker and grabbed some books I needed.

"Hello Elena," I heard a voice saying.

I shut my locker and there he was, the guy from the parking lot. He was close I could examine him more clearly then from the lot. He had perfect electric blue eyes, jet black shaggy hair and smirk playing on his lips.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked slowly.

He didn't say anything, just motioned for me to follow him.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"Shh, you'll find out soon enough," he answered with a smirk.

"I don't even know you, just tell me your name," I said.

"Hmm nosy aren't we?" he smirked again.

"Come on, just your fuckin name," I insisted.

He stopped walking as we reached his car in the parking lot. He turned around slowly.

"Damon Salvatore," and he smiled, the first real smile i've seen other than his annoying smirks.

"Fine, but what are we doing here and how the hell could you possibly know my name since you're new?"

"Actually I know a lot of things Elena so don't worry your pretty little head about it," as he winked at me.

"Also why don't you come along for a little ride in my car, hmm?" he asked.

"Uhm, fine, but only for a few minutes since I have to get back to school,"

I answered nervously.

"Yeah sure don't worry I'll take real good care of you," he whispered in my ear as I made my way into his car.

-End of Flashbacks-

I came back to my senses and I saw him taking a breath out of his cigarette, throwing it to the ground and crushing it with his shoe as he was made his way over to me. I clutched my bag in fear. Behind him, I saw the other two, Stefan and Tyler, the ones who always accompanied him, standing up from the pavement and mirroring his movements.

As he arrived face to face with me, he put his two fingers on my chin, slowly inclined his head to the left and studied my face which clearly showed nothing, but fear. Then he smirked at me and felt his arm snake around my waist as he pushed a strand of my hair over my ear, leaning in and whispering,"Good morning, Elena."

He pushed me to the field which was next to the school because since there were already students surrounding it, he wouldn't want to beat the crap out of me in front of everyone. He turned to face me, and smiled that smile that seemed to tell me, "Be afraid, Elena," which already made me be. Suddenly he pushed my shoulders, and I stumbled to the floor like a stupid, ragged doll. I felt the palm of my hands sting as they scraped the sharp surface of the field.

I shut my eyes tight, fighting the tears as I knew what was coming next. The harsh words began to leave his mouth, "You useless bitch, Elena!" "Nobody wants you, not even your parents, no wonder they left you all alone in that fuckin ugly shit of house with your poor aunt!" Although I've been hearing these words everyday for the last months, they still always make me feel as I've been slapped in the fucking face. I looked down at the floor, not bothering to look at the monster whom I've come to hate so much, and as he saw that he grabbed my hair, making me stand up, facing him, only an inch between our faces.

"I hate you," I whispered with hatred as I looked into those electric blue eyes that I used to love and that seemed to pierce right through me. I felt myself on the floor once again as he slapped me hard. I saw the other two losers watching from behind Damon.

"You used to love him remember?" said Stefan in between laughs.

"Yeah, but excuse me if I hate him now," I snapped back.

Both Tyler and Stefan exchanged stupid laughs and smirks, as they made their way to me along with Damon, but he put up his hand.

"Uh-uh, no touching she's mine remember?" he said impatiently.

He was currently facing them and I saw that it was an opportune moment to escape. I quickly stood up and took off running with the fastest speed I could, considering my scraped arms and my already forming bruises from the day and the others which still showed from past weeks'. I felt the wind slapping against my face, making my tears run so much faster down to my chin that I could taste the salty substance.

I arrived at school after 5 minutes of running, and I was surprised that he didn't follow me, but scared too because I knew I would pay for it later. At least for the moment it felt good to be free and for once a smile formed on my face. The corridors of the school were empty since class had already started, but I headed to the toilets anyway.

I was busy walking with my head down examining my scraped hands and as I went through the toilet door I slowly brought my head back up ready to close the door behind me. I gasped and held my breath when I found myself facing Damon Salvatore with an amused expression on his face and whispered, "It's not over, Elena."

A/N: This is my first fanfic story, and it's an eventually Delena one :)
I got this idea after doing an essay for my English exam of a girl who was bullied.
Please rate and review, because I don't know if I should continue it or it would be just a one shot.

Thanks all :)
