And what about finding the perfect prom dress and date!

Elena's POV

Dear Diary,

Its been months since Stefan left and even longer since I've written in you. Klaus freed him from his compulsion and I was sure that everything would go back to normal, but exactly the opposite happened. The cover story at school was that Stefan was visiting family in Italy and that he would be back by the end of the semester. We all held onto the smallest glimmer of hope that he'd return, winter came, Stefan did not.

The night he left I told everyone I was fine letting him go, after all if he didn't want to be here why should I even want his company. Yet somehow I feel broken. There is less supernatural drama in my life and I just don't know what to do with my self anymore. Don't get me wrong I still have my vampire friend Damon, and my vampire bffl Caroline and her boyfriend the werewolf Tyler. And my other bffl, Bonnie the witch, and her boyfriend, my normal brother Jeremy, to keep me busy. But I imagined I'd have time to get back into cheerleading, join a club and go to school dances.

When Favorites rolled around I was nominated (along with Stefan) for "most likely to get married". Needless to say I skipped that dance and ignored the call from Caroline telling me that I had won, and instead skipped town for the weekend with Damon.

Things are beginning to look up though. I am now back to my normal self plus I only have a few more months of school and soon I will be off to College with Bonnie and Caroline! For once in a very long time I have a very normal future to look forward to. My only concern is, I'm not sure where this future leaves me and Damon. We have become very close friends from our ordeal with Stefan and Klaus. He gave me my very own room in the Boarding House and I spend most days over there. We watch movies, go out of town for the weekend and yes diary I have more than once walked in on him naked. I mean he should really lock his door after he gets out of the shower!

But every since our spring break trip with the gang, I catch my self smiling as I think about him, getting nervous when he comes to close. I'm just so unsure! That week in Miami was probably the most fun I've ever had (well at least the parts that I remember). All I'm saying is that there are definitely perks to spring breaking with vampires. That week really messed with my head, we were friends and nothing more. But now I'm tormenting myself inside thinking about being more. I mean I am going off to college, I shouldn't expect him to follow. Is that even fair to want that from him? But what if there is a chance he'd want to follow….

Ugh! Diary you know I tend to get a bit head of myself, I need to relax and enjoy my last few months of high school. Oh, also did I mention prom is on its way! And of course Caroline is in charge…so I was roped in too.

I decided to take this first chapter and just set up and give back story. Hope you all liked it! Please review, I haven't written a story in a long while, so input will help me and motivate me. I am planning on revealing the spring break past later on in the story, but I could use some ideas… REVIEW!
