Prologue

August 16, 2015

"MOM! I'm going out for the night!" Elena yelled as she was walking down the hall.

"No sweetie Aunt Jenna is visiting tonight, remember? So your going to help me clean up this living room before we go pick her up from the airport." Miranda demanded. Miranda was never ever demanding unless she was having company. Elena rolled her eyes and started walking back up to her room, planning to sneak out of her or Jeremy's window. "Elena get back down here! Don't make me get your dad!" Miranda yelled.

Elena just kept walking, ignoring her mother's rambling on about how bad she's acting until Miranda yelled saying she was grounded. "UGH! I hate you!" Elena screamed. stomping off to her room, Slamming it shut like a five year old.

One Hour Later

She had decided that she was sneaking out after her parents and Jeremy left to pick up Jenna from the airport, so Elena did her makeup darker than usual and put on some skin tight, low rise short shorts with a Crimson red crop top that goes down to her belly button, leaving about three inches of skin showing.

She ended up going to Aaron Maxfield's back to school/finally senior year party at The Grill. She drank, danced, gossiped and did basically anything a normal teenager would do at a party, then later that night Elena stepped out for some much needed air.

BUZZ!

Elena looked at her phone seeing her best friend Caroline's mother calling. She reluctantly picked up the phone "Hello?" Elena said going into an alley so no one would eavesdrop.

"Elena? This is Liz Forbes I am calling regarding your parents and Jeremy... They have been in a terrible car accident and I'm so sorry to say this over the phone but..." Liz choked back a sob, while Elena's heart clenched and her stomach dropped. "None of them made it. I am so sorry Elena." Then Liz hung up and Elena didn't realize but she was on her knees sobbing into her hands in the middle of an alley at midnight, which would be the greatest opportunity to get mugged but that was the least of Elena's worries.

Not even a few seconds later someone came out of the Grill and came over to Elena. "Miss? Are you okay?" He said while kneeling down to see her face as she shook her head frantically and hyperventilating.

The next thing she knew she was in her room bawling her eyes out into her pillows waiting for Aunt Jenna to come up to her room trying to get her to eat something for the fifth time that day. It had already been two weeks since her parent's and Jeremy's death and normally she would stress eat but today was their funeral and she just felt sick to her stomach.

Okay so I know the prologue was short but I just wanted to get it done. So I think we all have an idea of who the mystery guy is but Tbh I don't even know who it's gonna be yet but I have an idea ;), I know Jeremy isn't dead in the show but I made him dead in this, and he kinda just disappeared off the face of the Earth along with Tyler. Then again this is a fanfiction and I get to do whatever I want as long as I'm not outside the guidelines. Anywaaayyss Thank for reading I'll get the next chapter up asap.

Until next time!
