We've been through it all, but our love has remained pure...
After what seemed ages, she made a maneuver to get off the bed and headed to the door. With small steps, she walked outside and closed the door behind her, before she leaned down and sat on the stairs, on the porch of her house in Mystic Falls. It was the place where she'd come whenever she wanted to be alone, whenever she had some free time. No one lived there anymore, but she never even thought about selling the place. It was the house of her childhood, the place who kept all the beautiful memories of her and her parents, from when they were still alive.
She let her head rest against the pile of the house, and sighed. Her eyes flew around and she pictured herself as a little girl playing with a few dolls on a blanket, in the green grass, right in front of the same house. The parents of the girl were sitting on the swing from the porch, smiling and appearing utterly happy with their simple life, with their child who was now running towards them, extending her little arms to her dad to pick her up and settle her between them. She would let her tiny hand run across her mother's stomach and giggle when she would feel the vibrating kicks. Her head would snap up and smile at her mother and she would receive a hug and a warm kiss on the forehead.
"Mommy, when will you bring my brother?", she asked daily, too excited about getting a little brother.
"Really soon", her mother answered her, and the girl's face would be lightened up by a big smile, before she would frown and pout out her lower lip. "What's wrong sweetie?"
"But then, will you still love me?", she questioned.
"Of course. I'll love you more and more each and every day. My love for you will never end", her mother traced a finger on her forehead and she won't frown anymore.
The years passed in front of her and now she was saw the same girl, now a few years older, in the same place, running after a little boy before she would lift him in her arms and press a kiss on his forehead. He would try to run away from her and hide under the swing on the porch or behind the house, just so he could win the game. She would find him and take him inside and into their room and she would tuck him in like she did in the last two years. Because that was all she wanted as a little girl; a little brother who would be with her forever and would take care of her when she would need him, a brother who she could share her thoughts with, a brother who could understand her in a way that her parents couldn't.
Her mind allowed her to continue the movie of her memories and she had found that the little girl was now a beautiful teenager. She was the captain of the cheerleaders and the most popular girl in the high school. She had a lot of friends to spend her time with and she also had as boyfriend the most popular guy in the high school, the captain of the football team, the guy who made all the girls root for him. But he was hers and she thought he would be hers forever. Back then, she had had no idea what real life was, she'd never been through a hard time, she'd never found out what the pain was. She used to think that if she loved the guy she would get to marry him, have children and spend the rest of her life with him.
It wasn't until that night when her stubborn self left her house to go to a party in the woods. She should've listened to her parents when they said family night was more important than a party. She used to go to parties every weekend and they insisted she should stay home for when her aunt will come visit. Instead of listening to them, she walked out and into the woods, partied with her friends and got drunk, never knowing that the consequences of her actions would be more dramatic than she could ever imagine, never knowing that that night was the last night that she would be able to spend with her parents.
After their death, everything changed in her life. She suddenly didn't feel like living anymore, she didn't feel like her dreams might come true and she didn't feel like she would ever get a family of her own. She tried to move on though and she moved to New York, she and her brother being in their aunt's custody until they would be 18. Life didn't matter for her anymore, she was only alive for her brother, who needed her through it all.
That was the story of her happy life as a little girl, who turned into a horrible one when she was a teenager. Never once had she thought that life would ridiculously grow on her and surprise her in her most depressing period of her pathetic existence.
