Elena gilbert. She is the girl every girl wanted to be and the girl every boy wanted. Most people would even describe her as perfect. Because no one could find a single flaw on her. She has the perfect parents, the perfect friends, perfect grades, perfect everything. She is the most popular girl in Mystic Falls walked the halls with power. No one has a chance at winning miss mystic falls now that she is nominated. Did I also mention her boyfriend? Matt Donovan. Every girl in school wanted to be with him, almost as much as the boys wanted to be with elena. They are the perfect couple. They won homecoming queen and king which was no surprise to anyone. This year there is no doubt that they will win prom king and queen and homecoming once again. Matt is the captain and quarterback of the football team and elena is captain of the cheerleading team. Moving on to elena's friends. To be honest she was friends with everyone that was popular and cool enough to get into frat parties. But there are two friends that aren't just normal friends, they are her best friends. Her cheerleading sidekicks some would say. Bonnie and Caroline. They did almost everything together. They rule the school together. Some people are frightned by them and some are jelous. Everyone wanted to be like them be apart of there unbreakable bond but no one would dare. Anyone stupid to try to fails everytime. If anyone is on there bad side or even worse be their target they would be scared enough to move to a different school. She has everything. Absolutlely perfect.

May 23th 2009. No one will ever forget this day. It's the day elena's parents died. They were in car crash and elena was also involved. Apparently someone saved elena from the car crash but no one knows who. The doctors say it's a meracle. Elena's family were basically famous is Mystic Falls so everyone was affected by it. Even though elena was saved she was still ingured. She stayed in the hospital for about a week and rested in a wheelchair for for five days. The cast on her leg looked like the declaration of independence. Bonnie and caroline visited her everyday holding her hand while she cryed thinking about her parents. They would do everything they could to make her smile or even laugh. Some of the tears were caused by the pain of her inguries but most of them were grief. Matt would take care of her as well and made sure she knew that they were all there for her. Elena's brother jeremy spent a lot of time with her after the accident. He knows that elena could have died in the car crash so he is a thousand times more greatful to have her in his life than before. Elena was very protective of jeremy and conforted him as much as she could because he was feeling the same hurt she was. At night elena would be sitting on the couch with a blanket and some comfy pillows next to the firplace watching tv with jeremy and her head would lay on his lap and jeremy would make soothing circles on her head to relax her,give her a break from the tears. Then elena would do the same thing to him. There aunt Jenna was now there legal guardian. She would cry with them and do the best to get there minds off of the tragedy.

That summer the gilberts went on vacation to florida. They had a lot of family friends there and they all thought it would take there mind of the tragedy for at least a while. They had a blast it wasn't the best vacation they have had but not miserable. But that didn't take away the tears at night. Every night elena would break down and cry and write in her diary about it until she fell asleep. The next day she would wake up feeling fine and ready to go surfing with her cousin and have a good time. Then summer was over and they packed there bags and prepared for the hugs and kisses from there friends in Mystic Falls. They were driving back home and for some reason elena felt this feeling inside of her that her parents would be waiting there at the house and maybe it never even happened. But when they stepped inside and dropped there bags and jenna said "we're home!" she could feel the emptiness inside her and she knew…..it really did happen.

You would think elena wasn't ready to get back to her popularity and boyfriend and high school but she was. She covered her pain with smiles and perfume and and designer clothes. She knew that some people would think that nows there chance to replace her now that she is no longer the same person. Well they were wrong she is the same person exept 1,000 times more powerfull. Her ultimate goal was to not let people dig inside her head and find the pain and emptyness and she keeps locked up in a tiny black metal box in her head covered in chains and impossible to unlock. Everything she was is heightned now. She is back and stronger than ever.
