I was picking up my mom from laser eye surgery since she couldn't drive at the moment due to temporary blindness. This wasn't something that my dad could do because I didn't really have a dad. I was the child of an affair, which is not the best thing that can happen. I've never met him and he wasn't there when I was born. In exchange for a monthly child support, my mom wouldn't talk to him or about him and I wouldn't try to contact or find him. Basically the money was for him to pretend that I didn't exist.
So, I'm Summer Lockwood. To be honest, I didn't really want to know him. I was happy without a father. I do wonder why my mom never decided to marry anyone else. Did she think that guys wouldn't like her because she had a kid? All I know is that I'm glad that she decided to keep me. Growing up with a single mother is a lot better than growing up in foster care.
"So how do you feel?" I asked my mom as I walked over to her and grabbed onto her. She had some bandages over her eyes. I don't know why she chose to get the surgery.
"I feel fine." She declared. "I should be able to see by tomorrow."
I led her to the car and helped her into the passenger seat. I then took the keys and got into the driver's seat. At that moment, we heard a thunderclap. It sounded like it was going to storm.
"You should take the back way home." My mom suggested.
"Are you sure that's safe?" I questioned as the water began to pour from the sky.
"Yeah, you're a good driver." She stated. I blushed. I mean yeah, I've never got a ticket or been in an accident, but I don't know if that makes me a good driver or just a lucky one. I turned on the lights and the wipers and began to drive.
It was raining really hard. I probably shouldn't have even been driving, but I was the only one who could, so I didn't have a choice. I just needed to drive slowly and everything would be okay. I could do this.
Everything was going okay until we arrived at the bridge. It was still open, so I drove toward it. Suddenly, a dog ran out in front of me. Not wanting to hit it, I swerved, which ended being a bad thing, because it caused us to go into the water.
"What's happening?" Mom asked. I was coughing and began to unbuckle my seatbelt. I then noticed that my mom's seatbelt was wrapped around her neck as we began to go under. I tried to untangle it, but it wasn't working. "Summer, you need to get out and try to survive."
"No, Mom, I'm not going to leave you." I told her. I tried before I noticed that I was choking her. I tried to stop but I heard her stop breathing. I felt a brief instance of pain as I cried and tried to get out of the car, which I managed to do, but the current was strong. I couldn't swim it and just laid down, knowing I was about to die.
I didn't die. I was found by a hunter who ended up taking me to the hospital. I didn't understand why I hadn't drowned. It didn't make any sense. I felt myself choking on the water.
The funeral was a day after I got out of the hospital. The court didn't think that there was any way that I could live on my own, so they decided to send me to my father: Richard Lockwood in Mystic Falls.
This takes place after Growing Pains. So it should be obvious that Summer managed to survive because when her mother died, she activated her werewolf gene, which she doesn't know about. So what's going to happen when she arrives in Mystic Falls to find that her father is also dead. Summer is played by Alexandra Chando. Please don't forget to review.
