Hey guys, this is my first Vampire Diaries fanfic, so tell me what you think of the start! Probably upload another chapter later, this is a Damon OC story, the first few chapters are slight AU, but it'll go into around the middle of season 1. Outfit links on profile and just in case you guys were wondering, I have Summer looking like Natalie Mejia from Girlicious...

Prologue
It has been two and a half years since I'd been in Mystic Falls. As I looked around my old surroundings, I began to get flashbacks. My past…some good, some bad. I remembered the times Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, and I had when we were kids, growing up together.
My mom opened the door to her friend Miranda Gilbert, who had a little girl my age standing next to her. I curiously went up to her and stood next to my mom. We just stood staring at each other while our moms conversed about something we didn't really know about. I decided to break the silence between this girl and me.
"Hi I'm Summer," I said to her smiling. She smiled back at me and said, "I'm Elena."
"You have really pretty hair," I complimented her.
"Thank you. You have really pretty eyes," She said getting closer to my face.
"Thanks. They're gold. My mom says we're gonna be best friends just like her and your mom."
"My mom said that, too!" She gasped. We both giggled and continued to smile at each other.
"You wanna play with me?" I asked her.
"Okay," she said.
I laughed just thinking about it. We were just four when we met, although my mom said we had spent time together in diapers. Elena had been my best friend ever since. We were like sisters. Then we met Bonnie and then Caroline.
11 years old: Slumber party Elena's.
"Okay, so who do you think is cuter: Jesse McCartney or Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC?" Caroline asked us.
"Ooh, close call, but I have to say Justin." I said to them.
"Yeah, I'd have to agree, Sum," Elena nodded.
"When do you guys not agree?" Caroline looked at Elena and I. "I mean, it's like you guys share a brain!"
"We do not!" Elena and I said in unison. We looked at each other and laughed. Maybe we did share a brain.
"See? I told you!" Caroline pointed. Bonnie sat looking at us and chuckled. I then threw a piece of popcorn at her and she opened her mouth while it was thrown. It landed on her nose.
"Aww so close!" Bonnie said while picking the popcorn off her nose and eating it. We all laughed while singing the words to our Backstreet Boys CD.
There was a strong chain link between the four of us. Always together, never falling apart. Until the bad times arrived. The tragic day when I lost my family all in the same night. My older brother Sean in a car accident I was there to witness; my parents in a house fire. How it even began without their notice is still unknown. That day is when my life changed for the rest of my life. I was forced to give up the life I had, being sent to a boarding school by my grandparents. I never really got to say goodbye to my girls. We had just started our sophomore year in high school at the time. I saw Bonnie one last time by accident, and I told her to tell the girls that I love them and goodbye.
I rode up to my new home, slowly looking at it and getting out of my black Honda Pilot. A brown and brick single-family house. My aunt and uncle's house hadn't changed a bit. They had used it as a vacation house, but they had given it to me knowing that they would never return to it. Bad memories, I guess. I shook my head in frustration. No, no more bad times, I thought to my self. I confidently walked up to the door, took the key from on top of the doorframe, and exhaled. I unlocked the door and looked inside the house. It was just like how I remembered it. Walking around the house, I remembered the times my family had parties here. I finally got to my room, sat on my queen-sized bed and took out my diary.
Dear Diary,
This is it. This is where I start my life over. A new beginning. I'm here to get my life back. I'm not going to think about the bad times. That part of the past is over. No more crying over the death of my family, no more grieving, no more pain. They wouldn't have wanted that for me. If anyone asks, I'm gonna smile and say, "I'm fine, thank you. Yes I feel much better." I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but it has to. I'm gonna make this work. I'm gonna go out there, find my best friends, laugh, chat and become the girl I used to be. The party girl. The outgoing, fun one. Yes, the bad times are over and done. This…is where my life begins.
I closed my diary and lied there on my bed for a while, looking up at the ceiling. Thinking of my plans for my senior year, I smiled. Yes, I thought, this'll definitely be a good year.
Soooooo...like?
I know this chapter is pretty short but they will get longer as they go.
REVIEW please :D
THANKS.
