DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Second Chances

Chapter 1

Elena POV

Stefan and I have decided to spend the night at his place after an amazing dinner date.

I sat on his couch waiting for him to cook me some dessert that he insisted on cooking.

I sat there nervously still remembering the night we made love. I was so in love with him, I had no idea what I was doing.

Oh but how it made me love him more.

My mum was angry that I skipped family night again to be with Stefan, I don't think she thought I really loved him, she thinks I'm just her little girl, and that I'm too young to fall in love.

To be honest I was angry at her because she lied to me about being adopted. They only just told me recently and I had been made at them lately about it.

I could tell me dad was suspicious about Stefan being a vampire, he had a big talk to me about vampires, and how bad they are.

It still didn't change my mind; I love Stefan no matter what he is. He could be a demon and I wouldn't care, he has shown me reasons to love him and I do. At first I was scared when he told me he was a vampire, but I couldn't stop the feelings I had for him.

Stefan knew what he was doing and tried to get on my dad's good side, he tried to convince him that he was good my dad didn't buy it, my dad was raised to hate vampires and he wouldn't change his mind he was too stubborn.

Stefan walked in with a tub of strawberry ice cream. I looked at him confused. "I thought that you were making me dessert?"

"Well it turns out we don't have all the ingredients I needed so I got this." He sat down next me and smiled at me and scooped out a scoop of strawberry ice cream and handed it to me. I smiled at him he smiled back and before I was going to grab the spoon, Stefan fed me the ice cream I slowly ate it and looked deep into his eyes my heart was fluttering I only had a bit and he ate the rest then kissed me, I closed my eyes and enjoyed his soft wet cold lips on mine. I started to taste the ice cream.

Miranda Gilbert POV

Grayson sat on the couch flicking through his ancestors books, whilst frowning. It wasn't much of a family night any more. He was upset because Elena wasn't here and decided to skip family night again. We were both angry but I could tell Grayson had something on his mind.

I was cooking dinner with Jeremy; he did most of the work because I was horrible at cooking.

I heard a bang. Grayson slammed his fist into the coffee table "Grayson!" I yell

"Dammit!" he said angry

"Jeremy go-" I start to say to get Jeremy out of his fathers rage and I don't want Jeremy getting caught up in this.

"No mum I know about vampires now I can handle this." Obviously he knew what Grayson was angry about now

"Good, Jeremy get your things we are going hunting." Grayson sat up

"Grayson!" I say again annoyed

"What Miranda? He says he can handle it so let's see if he can kill Stef-"

"Dad we can't kill Stefan, Elena would-" Jeremy says in a worried tone

"He could be hurting her now! He-" Grayson says getting louder

"Dad he isn't like that he told me that-"

"You spoke to him?" he paused in fury; they were both looking at each other I tried to look down and stay out of it. It's always best to stay out of it.

"He's a vampire Jeremy, he could have killed you?"

"Dad-"

"NO we have to protect our family-" this time I interrupted.

"Then why is she with him now?" I asked him annoyed. He looked at me with anger. "Because…So Elena can see that-" he stuttered

"You can't kill him in front of her she will be heart broken." I said

"Weren't you the one to say she didn't love him?" he asked and we both paused

"She's our baby girl Grayson she would hate us." I say trying to calm him down

It didn't work "Come on Jeremy we have some unfinished business to take care off." He dragged Jeremy along with him and gave him his ring. His ring kept him from being killed by supernatural creatures; he did this knowing that he had a better chance than Jeremy. I followed along not so sure what to do. They got their hunting equipment ready. I knew they would take about 5 minutes so I took the time to right Elena a note saying that we did care for and that we were doing this because we loved her. I shoved the letter in a draw.

"Let's go." I heard Grayson

I knew I couldn't stop him, but I didn't want him to get hurt, especially if Stefan was the bad guy.

"Wait, be careful boys." I say moving to him

Grayson smiled at me and came and gave me a kiss on the forehead

"You don't need to worry my dear." He smiled and so did Jeremy. We were at the front door I gave Jeremy a hug. I gave each of them a quick kiss. Grayson opened the door. And there stood a men waiting smiling at us evilly. I had never seen this man before I looked at his shirt to see blood stains. This was no coincidence. I took a step back.

Elena POV

We were both lying down on the couch. He was on top. We started licking each other's mouths and licking the ice cream while also spoon feeding it too each other.

While I wanted to eat the ice cream I so badly wanted to kiss him all over. We were in our honeymoon phase and I loved it.

I longed for his touch I started to remember his hard body on top of me rocking against me. I moaned at the memory.

Stefan started licking my neck. I was starting to get wet. I needed to get my mind of sex I got another spoon full of ice cream and ate it I giggled he looked up at me he knew what I was thinking, he smiled a cheeky smile at me and as I was about to eat another spoon full, he got it instead and stole the spoon of me.

"Hey!" I smiled he laughed at me and he spun around rested his head on my lap. I ran my fingers through his hair and watched him.

"I love you." He smiled. I closed my eyes at the thought of him saying that the first time.

I opened my eyes and he was resting on top of me looking at me smiling. "Do you remember when we said we loved each other? We had broken up because of me being a vampire," he giggled at the thought so did I, "and we really missed each other and-"

"I remember Stefan, like it was yesterday, I was so afraid you didn't love me back."

"But I did, I do." He said so lovingly "I love you so much." He smiled I couldn't stand it anymore he was on top and I had to kiss him I leaned in and he went for it he kissed me so passionately he rubbed his tongue against mine. I moaned he giggled whilst still kissing me so gentle but yet so hot. I tugged on his shirt wanting more.

Miranda POV

"You can't come in I haven't invited you in!" Grayson hissed.

Jeremy looked worried more than we did; I wanted to get Jeremy away from this. But then Jeremy looked down and huffed.

"I didn't know I thought he was just a pizza guy so I...'' Jeremy had invited him in. I was worried, terrified even. But Jeremy had his ring on. I grabbed his hand and ran as quick as I could, I didn't look back. Grayson had shot the man multiple of times. I ran upstairs and the man stopped me, he had Grayson in his grasp, the man looked between Jeremy and I with those devil eyes that vampires had, Grayson was so worried, his eyes were glossy. I turned around going for the front door. I lost grasp of Jeremy he pushed Jeremy over the railing I heard a snap and screamed "NO!" I kept running for my life he pushed me down stairs I landed on the hard floor in agony he followed me down with Grayson in his arms still.

He flopped Grayson down next to me. Grayson held my hand. "I love you Miranda" he coughed. "I love you too" I smiled, trying to remain calm for him. The man laughed out loud. And went to check on Jeremy quickly to make sure he was dead. "I wrote Elena a note" I said "It said we both love her" he smiled and whispered what sounded like a thank you. I could tell he was scared but he tried so hard to smile without letting tears escape his eyes.

The man came back to us smirking. "Goodbye dick" he said to Grayson he got a stake and stabbed Grayson in the heart I started sobbing, he was still holding on, he gripped my hand tighter, I closed my eyes and the only thing I could feel was a sharp pain in my chest he stabbed me, I started screaming I couldn't breathe I held Grayson's hand tighter he was still trying to breath. I knew we only had about a minute left until we were gone for good.

The man then called someone while standing over our bodies I couldn't really hear but I heard Stefan in the sentence and Elena and after that I couldn't hear at all. All I could here was my heart beat slowing down. I knew this was the end.

The man left. I had stopped screaming and was breathing heavily. But before we passed on I heard Elena gasp. I looked at Grayson, he mouthed I love you I mouthed it back, we were both shaking and I could only smell our blood I just kept staring at Grayson. He was smiling.

Elena POV

Stefan just got a phone call he looked worried he dropped the phone, he looked at me in despair and grabbed me and said it was my family.

Now I was concerned he vampire speed over to my house with me on his back.

The door was open. I ran inside screaming mum, dad and Jeremy.

Then I stopped in my tracks and saw my parents lying down with stakes to their hearts, I gasped. I couldn't breathe. I had an ache in my heart. It was too late their eyes slowly become lifeless.

Then I noticed Jeremy in the hall with his neck snapped

"Stefan!" he was right behind me standing in shock only a few seconds after I came in. He went to Jeremy and he told me he had his ring on. That meant he would wake up, that he wasn't really dead. He then went to my parents. He slowly looked up at me. "Stefan no" I whispered. He shook his head. I dropped to the floor crying, sobbing. Stefan cradled me. "No Stefan please you must do something please." I screamed

"Elena, I can't." I started to shake and freak out uncontrollably and Stefan kept holding me. Everything went numb, I couldn't breathe.

I woke up with tears pooling in my eyes. The blankets that were meant to be on top of me were thrown around the room. I remembered my dream last night; right now I didn't want to think about it. I flicked open my flip phone; It was 5:23 on a Wednesday morning. It was the day of the funereal.

I opened my window and but closed it suddenly when a gust of cold air swept through my room, making the goose bumps on my pale skin rise. I shuddered and climbed into my bed pulling my blankets off the floor and pulling them around me. My neck was sticky with sweat and my thick brown hair stuck to it. I knew sleep would no longer come, I was much too scared to sleep anyway, scared the dream would return. I reached for my phone again and instinctively I messaged Stefan. I explained to him about my dream. Five minutes later there was still no reply, usually he replied in less than two minutes. I assured myself that he was hunting.

I've been having the same dream about them dying and who did it. They only died a week ago and every night I will have same night mare. I heard a knock at my door it made me jump, it was Stefan. I started to cry and he instantly held me in his arms and kissed my hair "It's going to okay." He whispered into my ear. I snuggled up to his chest closer, he held me tighter. "T-the d-dream." I shuttered "Shhh I know, it will stop I promise." We sat there for another five minutes. I put my face to his chest the whole time, needing to find comfort.

"Elena?" he said quietly "You need to get ready." I hid my face deeper into his chest shaking at the thought and realising they were really gone. The past week has been a nightmare I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. I could hear their voices every night screaming my name in agony. He tilted my face up to face his slowly. "I will help." It was hard to see him with all the tears and redness in my eyes.

"I can't." I managed to say. He quickly left me on the bed and I felt scared and alone again, I needed somebody next to me.

I curled in to my pillow, he got my clothes and picked me up bridal style, and curled into him, I was glad he was here otherwise I don't think I would be breathing.

Their death, it was horrible. And I had to see them covered with blood lifeless. It hurt. No one wants to see a dead body especially their parent's ones.

While I was sobbing Stefan called the police, to help. Caroline's mum knew of vampires and had to hide their death. Both my friends Caroline and Bonnie knew of vampires so it was slightly easier. She was the first to arrive. Caroline came over with her mum. She held me while Stefan took Jeremy up to his room waiting for him to wake up and waited for the other cops to come and gave them information. Caroline took me to my bedroom to calm down.

That was the worst night of my life.

Stefan took me into the bathroom, he stood me up and I stood there motionless while he switched on the shower he took of his clothes and was only left in his boxers, he did this not to be naked with me but he knew that he would have to wash me so he didn't want his clothes to get wet.

I looked down at my feet. This was a reflex now; whenever I would feel helpless I looked down. He lifted up my chin, his lips were pulled into a straight line and his eyes held worry, but his face was neutral. He took of my shirt and eventually the rest of my clothes. We had seen each other naked before so it didn't worry me. I was so grateful he was here helping me, some days I couldn't even get out of bed.

We got into the shower and he washed my hair and massaged my head. He washed my body and I held my eyes shut trying to think about the water, I focused on the sound of the water. He kissed me on my forehead before we got out and wrapped a towel around my body.

He made me a smoothie for breakfast, I usually didn't eat, but today was a big day and my body needed some energy. My mum always made me this it tasted exactly like hers. I sighed and began to drink. It was another painful reminder that she was gone.

Jeremy entered the room all dressed up, Stefan had also made him breakfast. Jeremy and I hadn't spoken to each other for a while but we always said we loved each other before we went to bed.

One night he said it was his fault and tried to kill himself which Stefan stopped and helped to understand that it wasn't his fault and that I needed him. Stefan helped with most things, usually I wouldn't let him do this all for me but I needed him just for now. Until I could do it, I think that will be a while though.

We arrived at the church I could barely stand. So I held on to Stefan all day. I had to keep together for Jeremy, otherwise he would lose it, and I didn't want Stefan to deal with us both at the same time. I walked slowly and carefully, my eyes focused on my feet and where my next step would be placed. All eyes were focused on me, a substantial gathering of people all there for the same purpose.

They waited patiently, wet tissues clutched in their hands as the hour passed in an almost surreal blur. The people before me all said their goodbyes, a devastated Jenna, her cheeks lined with tears and her hands trembling. The pain that they felt began to pale in comparison. I was the one that was really left to speak.

I stood in front of the rows of attendants, my eyes wandering around the room before meeting Jeremy's in an intense exchange. I had reluctantly released Stefan's hand, slipping away from his loving hold; he told me in a whisper he was right next to me. Now, as I tried to summon the strength for the eulogy, I searched Stefan's face for reassurance and silent support. I found it in his eyes, in his body language and in the connection that we shared.

Breaking my stare with Stefan, I slowly moved my eyes and stared at the back wall, unable to make eye contact with all the friends that had known my mum and dad. Most of their friends were shared, even back to a time they went through school, just one grade apart. Clearing my throat, I began to read off a crumpled and slightly tear stained piece of paper.

"I-I uhh just wanted to say thank you all for coming this afternoon I greatly appreciate it, umm so both my parents umm I loved them both dearly,"

no Elena don't cry think of a good memory. Stefan knowing what was happening placed his hand on my back.

"I remember this one time we had such a great time at the family Lake House and dad made stupid jokes that always made us laugh and that night mum cooked us dinner and it tasted horrible so we just ordered pizza" I stuttered slightly and everybody smiled sympathetically. I sighed moving on to the next paragraph on the paper I held

"And this one time, mum said to me if you ever need me that just t-to and umm"

I gulped I couldn't breathe tears started rolling down my cheek. I tried changing to the other paragraph "And dad said that no matter w-what."

I started to feel dizzy I started to shake. My voice hoarse and choking up, I closed my eyes and wiped my eyes.

I then felt Stefan's hands on my shoulders I looked up at him, he whispered "Hey it's okay let's sit down."

I stepped cautiously back to Stefan's side. Tears coursing down my cheeks as I slipped beneath his arm and sobbed into his shirt. I felt a slight breeze across my face and my heavy tears were reduced to single salty tracks.

I know your not really meant to have death in the first chapter, but I had an idea.
I will be writing flash backs of when Elena's parents were alive and meet Stefan. The first couple of chapters will be angsty but it will change, so continue reading!

If you have any suggestions tell me! And review if you like it! And if you don't I will be writing it still so tough ;)
