AN: Hey readers!
This is my first attempt to write a fanfiction and also to write something in english. I hope you are not too disappointed with my spelling and grammar. If you detect mistakes, feel free to send me a pm—maybe even with a grammar explanation. 'Cause I'm out of school since I think now about five years, I honestly forgot most of my lessons and my whole knowledge about the english language is self-taught. Enough about me, let's talk about the upcoming story: I am head over heels and madly in love with the tv-series »Vampire Diaries« and rooting for precious Delena since the first episode. Even after the end of the tv-series I can't get enough of this exceptional pair. So the story is obviously about these two and their way to get together. But I wanna try to write an AU/AH fiction. I suppose the story will cover a few years of their lives.
Pairings i.a. in the first few chapters:
Datherine (Damon & Katherine)
Stelena (Stefan & Elena)
Forwood (Tyler & Caroline)
Alaric (30) is a history teacher at Mystic Falls High School since 2008. Jenna (29) is a research associate at Whitmore College and currently lives with Grayson and Miranda. Elena's parents are therefore alive and also her biological parents. Damon (22), Enzo (23) and Klaus (23) are students at Whitmore College and are connected through a special hate-love-friendship. Of course, Damon and Stefan are brothers in this story and their parents Lilian and Guiseppe are still alive. Though they have a sister, Sarah (20), who also studies at Whitmore College. Also Elijah (21) is a student, younger brother to Klaus and older brother to Rebekah. Katherine (20) is a student at Whitmore College and the daughter of John and Isobel. She is Elena's and Jeremy's cousin. Elena and Katherine share similar looks like the eye and hair color, but they are by no means identical—they cannot(!) be mistaken for each other. Elena (17), Bonnie (17) and Caroline (17) are high school students at Mystic Falls High School and have been close friends since childhood. Their friends and school colleagues in the senior year include Stefan (17), Tyler (17) and Matt (17). Elena and Matt were never a couple. Instead she is dating Stefan. Jeremy (15), the twins Olivia and Luke (15), Rebekah (15) and Valerie (15) are also students at Mystic Falls High School, currently in their sophomore year and good friends.
I hope you enjoy and if you do so, please review!

PROLOGUE
SEPTEMBER 5, 2009
Dear Diary!
The last year in High School had started and I must confess I'm really looking forward to it.
Stefan and I made a lot of plans. After graduation we're planning to attend the Whitmore College together to have the continuing ability to be actually together.
Care just rolled her eyes on me. But I don't care what she thinks about us and our relationship. Stefan and I—
»Elena!« Mirandas voice sounded from below, interrupting the dark-haired girl in her writing flow. Her head still in the clouds, she looked up und lightly shook her head for a moment to return to reality.
»What's wrong, Mum?« Elena shouted, putting her fountain pen down. A slight knock on the half open door only a few moments later announced the presence of her mother and the dark-haired girl turned her head. A questioning look appeared on her face as Miranda entered her daughter's room.
»Elena—didn't you want to go to the bonfire with Jeremy?« The girl nodded approvingly.
»Well, then you're too late. He left the house just minutes ago,« Miranda declared chuckling. »Your lost track of time,« she said, looking at the open diary but without trying to the read the written words. »Sometimes I wish I had not given you your first diary. I know—I said that writing your memories and your thoughts down is balm for the soul. But don't forget to talk with actual people, honey. Blank pages are good listeners, but you don't get answers.« It was an unspoken request. Miranda gave her girl an encouraging smile and waited for a moment. After all, she was about to turn around when the dark-haired girl spoke, »Mum?«
»Yes, honey?«
»I … Caroline thinks it's … no … she thinks I am ridiculous when I talk about Stefan and me wanting to stay together after the graduation. She thinks we aren't a match. That it will not last. She has no confidence in me or rather in us and our relationship. Maybe just not in Stefan. Care begrudges me to be happy because she was fond of Stefan … and I knew it when I started to date him,« Elena sighed and lowered her gaze. She focussed on her intertwined fingers and heard her mother sigh as well.
»Oh darling,« she talked gently, stepping up to her daughter, placing a finger under her chin and raising her face to look into Elena's eyes. »Caroline will get over it. I'm sure. The question is—what do you want? What's more important to you? To get approval from your friend or to be happy with Stefan?« Elena nibbled at her lower lip and finally whispered, »I don't know Mum … I don't know. I want both but I don't want to hurt anyone along the way.«
Miranda smiled sympathetically, her green eyes full of compassion, »I'm sure everything will turn out well. You'll see. Don't worry so much!« With these words the dark-haired woman kissed her daughter's forehead and left the room with a face full of cares. Elena didn't notice 'cause she had already begun to complete the sentence in her diary:
—will make it. We will last, even if someone put obstacles in our way. I'm absolutely secure about my feelings towards him and I know he feels the same way.
