Hey guys, I'm here after a long time with another story and new account. I wrote some stories before, but I kind of stopped last year. Something got into me and I had this feeling to start writing again.
I hope you'll enjoy this story :)

We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve

Prologue

I woke up feeling completely exhausted. I reached out for my mobile which was on a night stand. It was 10 am. I wasn't surprised. I always sleep that long on weekends. I got up from my bed and went to look out from my window. It was cloudy out there.


Flashback

I was in a car with my parents and my older sister Nina. We were driving home from our little trip to another town. We weren't the perfect family that was having dinners together or having a great time with each other. I wasn't on good terms with my father. He was jealous, possessive man that couldn't take care of something or himself on his own. He was like a little child and with each day, week, month and year it was getting worse. He cut off my mom from her friends, even her family.

So it's not even surprising that they were fighting again. My sister had her earphones on her so she wouldn't be able to listen to them.

„Who was that guy that you talked to?" My dad asked my mom. And here it is again. I thought to myself.

„No not again, I don't have to explain myself to you. How many times do I have to tell you that it was just my friend from high school?" My mom raised her voice. I was tired about this whole situation.

„Yeah, like I would believe you. It's another man that got under your skirt?! Is it right?" I was shaking with anger.

„How dare you to talk to her like that?" I shouted at him. „I'm tired of this, of YOU! You're saying like everyone is just using her, but the only person who is using us is you!" I was on the edge. My mom was speechless and my father looked at me. He was about to say something when my mom shouted. „Watch out!"

Before I knew it, I was upside down. I looked around me and all I saw was blood and broken glass. I glanced on my left side were was my sister. I tried to shake her and wake her up.

„Nins! Hey Nina! Wake up. Pl-please wake up." My voice was hoarse and shaky.

„Mom? Dad?!" I called, but there was no response. „Anyone?!" I shouted as loud as I could. All I heard was silence and the rain pouring down on the car.

I tried to unbutton my seatbelt and after some time of struggling I fell down on my head and back. I crawled out of the broken window and went to my sisters side.

„Nina, can you hear me?" I shaked her one more time. I reached my hand to find her pulse, but there was none. „N-n-no! Noo! You have to wake up!." I cried out. My head was spinning and I felt blood leaking down my face.

I struggled to get on my legs and check out my mom and dad. „Mom? Dad?"

„Mom, can you hear me? Please?!" There was nothing, silence.

My eyelids felt heavier and heavier until I crushed with my body on the muddy ground. The rain was pouring down at me. In a minute the darkness took over me.

End of flashback


I blinked a couple of times at that memory.

„Bethany come downstairs!" My dad called after me. I rolled my eyes and opened my door. I peered on the hall. „Yeah?"

„I need you to help me with the boxes." He called.

„I'll be there in 10 minutes." I said and shut the door behind me.

I went to my bathroom and looked at my reflection in mirror. I saw an ordinary girl, with big hazel eyes and full lips. My hair were long enough for me, about 4 inches below my shoulders. I also have a fringe. I have curves on my body which isn't working with my small height. Anyway I'm ok with it. My mom used to tell me that woman should have curves.

I brushed my teeth, I put my hair into a loose ponytail and let some strands from my fringe to fall over my face. I put on some black leggings and white shirt. With that I checked myself in mirror.

„New town, new life." I tried to convince myself into believing what I just said.

I huffed. „Who am I fooling?" It's never going to be the same without them.

I came downstairs and found my dad with a box in his hands. „Could you help me with those?" He pointed out at other boxes.

„Do I have a choice?" I didn't wait for his response. I helped him to get the boxes inside and unpack them. I unpacked my room last night when we arrived.

It was getting dark outside when my dad started to talk. „Do you want to.." He didn't get to finish his sentence because I wouldn't let him. „Don't try to make a conversation with me." I interrupt him.

„I just wanted to.." He started again. „No! Don't try anything. I'm staying here with you because my mom would want me to take care of you. Nothing has changed between the two of us." I spat at him and ran upstairs.

I went to my wardrobe and dressed into a dark green dress. I put on my leather jacket and looked down at my locket that my mom gave me a few weeks before the accident. I let out a sigh, took my bag and ran down the stairs.

„Beth! Wait. Where are you going?" My dad called from the kitchen.

„Out." Like he cared.. „Beth, don't be like this. I want things between us to work." He said.

I put on a fake smile. „ You know, I want so many things in my life too. For example, I want to be 18 and move out so I don't have to look at your drunk face ever again." I told him and left the house.


I drove around Mystic Falls, my new home. I stopped in front of some place called Mystic Grill so I parked my car and made my way inside.

I looked around the place. It was crowded. I went to the bar to order some coffee.

„ Hey, can I have some coffee?" I asked politely the bartender.

„Sure, just a minute." He smiled and I sat and the bar stool. I waited a few minutes before he got back with my order.

„Here." He put it in front of me. „Thanks."

„You're new here, right?" He said it more as a statement.

„That obvious?" I raised my brow and smiled. „Nah, I just haven't seen you here before. Let's just say it's a small town and everyone knows everyone." He chuckled.

„I'm Matt, by the way." He extended his hand. „ I'm Beth." I took his hand and shook it.

„I just moved here with my father."

He nodded „ I presume you're going to attend Mystic Falls High School?" Matt asked me.

„I'm starting tomorrow."

„I think we're going to be classmates then. I can introduce you to my friends tomorrow if you want and show you around." He offered.

I smiled at him. „ That's really sweet.." My phone started to vibrate in my bag. „Sorry." I told Matt and answered my phone.

„What?" I asked.

„B-beth, I-I'mm sorry. I'll be a better man, a better dad. I promise." I heard my dad on the other side babbling.

„You're drunk." I stated.

„I'm sorry." His voice was shaking and I could tell he was about to cry.

„I'm on my way home." I hung up and huffed.

I looked up at Matt. „Sorry, family issues. I gotta go but I'm sure we'll see each other tomorrow."

„It was nice meeting you."

„You too." I called over my shoulder when I bumped into someone's hard chest.

„Aww, sorry. I wasn't watching where I was.." I couldn't finish the sentence because I looked up to meet the stranger's eyes. The icy blue eyes. „..going." I finished.

„I have to go, sorry again." I rushed out of the Grill but couldn't help the feeling he was staring at my back.


I opened the front door and found my dad on the couch with a bottle in his hands. He turned to look at me and smiled at me.

„You're just like your mother. Beautiful" I just stared at him. „You're drunk." I tried to move him towards staires to take him to his bedroom.

„You're going to be just the whore she was." He chuckled. I couldn't help myself and I slapped him. My eyes full of hate. „Don't ever talk about her like that."

His expression was different. I've never seen him like this. His eyes were turning red from anger. He grabbed my arms and pushed me against the wall.

„Let go off me!" With he bruised my arms even harder. I couldn't stand it any more and cried out in pain. I didn't say anything, neither him. Rage took over me and I kicked him in between his legs. He loosened his grip on my arms and fell on the floor.

„I'm sick of you. Don't you ever touch me or go near me." I ran upstairs and locked the door behind me. I leaned against the door, second time today.

I was about to go to take a shower when I saw a big black crow on my window ledge. I approached the window. I slowely opened it. I was surprised when the crow didn't flew away.

„Hey there." I said. It cawed at me.
„I really wish my life was different." I whispered. The crow cawed once more and in a second it was gone.

Ok, guys. That's it. It was just a filler prologue. I promise that in next chapter she'll meet the gang. I'll start to put this story into the show timeline (somehow). I'll let you know. But everything will not be the same like in the show. I'll change it. :)
I would be really glad if you reviewed and let me know what you want to see, or change about my writing.
Hugs and kisses :)
I'll update soon
today.
(Sorry for mistakes)
