Author Note: Please know this story will not follow the story line in either the tv show or the book. I am simple using the character for my own original story. Maybe certain chapters will use reference from either the book or the tv. Just I am setting it after I saw Daddy Issues from Season 2. I loved how Damon was in that episode, so he needs some loven. Sorry I think Stefan and Elena are cute together plus Damon needs a bad girl and that is where Ali from my story comes in. LOL Anyways hope you enjoy. Reviews are great.

Chapter 1

My eyes slowly started to creak open adjusting to the florence lights above me, I felt groggy until my senses started to awaken. Noticing beeping noise and foot steps from a distance, I heard light breathing to the right on me. I looked around to notice I was in a hospital. Yet again knowing me, I probably overdosed again. What can I say when you are a rockstar, drugs come with the territory. I looked down at the needles pushed deep into my veins.

"I see your finally awake Ali" I glanced up to see my publicist glaring at me but behind her light blue eyes was a sign of relief. I simple nodded my head turning my head looking out the window watching the busy life of LA people pass me by. I huffed out of annoyance thinking I was stuck in this death hole.

"I got good news, bad news and news in-between both. You see no one got wind of your overdose which means no one isn't ruining their mouths. But I think it is best that you take a break for a little while, maybe clear you head for a little bit. However people from the label and a few others think it is best you enter in rehab." Andy finished waiting for any arguments that would come from my mouth.

"Let me just understand this, basically if I don't go to rehab what will happen?" I asked playing with my patient wrist band.

"Well that is the bad news Ali, if you decided to not go to rehab the label will re-think you contract with them. But to be honest sweetheart that will drop you and basically black list you from signing onto any other label." Andy quickly said looking down at her Ipad.

I nodded my head, I looked out the window yet again. My mind was racing with what has been thrown at me. I knew what I needed to do, I couldn't do this to my career. Not to the fans that wrote me daily telling me how I helped them out in some way. However did I have strength to beat this addiction that I have had for the past 2 years.

"Look I will let you think, give you some time to think things through. I will see you tomorrow for your check out ok" Andy nodded and she exited out of my room, leaving the rest of the day to my thoughts and decisions. It must have been a hour or so since Andy had left until I heard a soft knock on my door.

I glanced towards the door to see the one person who knew me inside and out. I smiled widely as I watch the short petite girl walk towards lifting up her Louis Vuitton glasses onto her raven curled hair. Her bright baby blues twinkled of excitement.

"Oh best friend, it is great seeing you" I reached out my arms as she embraced me into a bone crushing hug. "Here I thought you were in Paris doing fashion week" I questioned her. "Um please once Andy called me to tell me that you ended up in the hospital, I took the next flight out of Paris to LA to come see if you were ok." She gushed staring at me.

"So another overdose A" Finally the silence was broken after about 5 minutes of my best friend looking at me from the chair that was to the right of me. I looked down disappointed and she was the only person that could make me feel that way.

"Seriously what is going on, are you trying to kill yourself? You know I love you so very much and you are like blood to me. I couldn't imagine losing you to something so stupid, you have been my best friend for 15 years. Why?" She questioned me with tears sliding down her perfectly tan skin. I couldn't look at her knowing how upset she was. I felt like a failure to her in many ways. I knew that Becca didn't have much family left and I was the closet thing to a real sister that she had.

"Im sorry" It was all I could say at this point. I looked at her until she regain her composure. "If it makes you feel any better, I am going into rehab. Then I am going back home to visit some family. You know help with the clearing of my mind" I laughed. Which in returned made Rosaline giggle. She knew Mystic Falls wasn't the greatest place in the world but hey I was born there. Maybe so peace and quit was what I needed.

"I need to call my Aunt and Uncle to see if they would be ok with me stay there for a little while." I groaned not really knowing how my uncle would take it. Probably say how I am just like my dad, irresponsible, how can I be so reckless. Yep you got it my uncle was pretty much a hard ass. Especially to my cousin, poor Tyler. But hey that is what being a Lockwood is all about. Enhance the fact of why I got out of Mystic Falls as fast as I could.

"You look tired, why don't I give you some rest" Rosaline said softly before kissing my forehead and waving goodbye to me. I smiled noticing that I was pretty sleepy. I could tell that the drugs were leaving my body and I was de-toxing because once I started to crash all I wanted to do was sleep.

28 days later

I left the small rigged building that I had been staying at for the past 28 days, things were of course hard. Trying to stay clean and sober but with Rosaline, Andy and the phones called from my Aunt Carol and Tyler, they sure helped me through this. I was damn lucky no one caught wind of this, thankful. Or I would be known as another rockstar with a drug problem, I knew I was but this time I knew that I need to work at getting myself into a healthy and clean environment. I had talked to my cousin over the phone a couple of times, I could tell he was excited for my visit. Even though I was older by 4 years we still were close and he always looked out for me as a protective brother. I guess that is what I loved about him. Tyler was one of the best guys I knew, granted I think when my uncle/his father would try and push him in to acting a certain, made Tyler look like an ass. But hey no ones family is prefect, I mean hell look at my father who I haven't spoken with in about 10 years. I guess I could call him an in and out father, always around when he wanted to be around and always left when things got rough. But that again that is why my father was known as the black sheep in the family.

My grandfather wasn't displeased with how my father just up and left my mother and I. Mainly my grandparents took excellent care of both my mother and I, they still gave me the best of everything since they are the ones with all the money. However shortly after my mothers birthday, she was in a terrible car crash leaving me motherless at the age of 10. I went stay stay with my grandparents after her death. My grandmother was the one who enrolled me into singing classes to take my mind off things. She hated seeing my so depressed and hated it even more to know that her son did nothing to help me out after my mothers tragic death.

I shook away the old memories that I flooded my head, not wanting to think about how certain events had changed me forever. I finally looked out the window noticing how much of a difference the scenario was from the one in Los Angeles. I was in a car ride to Mystic Falls since my plane ride wouldn't land in that small forsaken town but instead I landed in Richmond which then I would take a hour or so car drive. The car ride wasn't truly that bad since I had a limo. Spoiled you can say well I knew Andy wanted to me to be as comfortable as I can be. She knew I didn't want to go back home after drama that came from that town.

I saw the large green sign with white writing reading Welcome to Mystic Falls. I let out a huff hoping I would not have to deal with the my family drama, I just wanted some time to clear my head. I stared out to see the town coming into view, as the limo driver passed through the town square. I looked to see if I knew anyone, I smiled to see little Elena all grown up looking more beautiful then ever. I noticed her with two mysteries looking guys. The one held his arm around her in a caring, loving manner. I could only guess that this might be her boyfriend. Which meant she was no longer with Matt, how sad to think that they didn't stay together. I knew that boy was crazy about her. However I look to see the other man next to Elena, he had crystal blue eyes that I could spot from the car. He had this whole bad boy imagine going for him, reminded me of James Dean. I noticed that the driver started to go after the light finally turned green. I turned to look forward and the only thing on my mind was that hot guy with the gorgeous blue eyes.

Maybe coming home wasn't a bad idea after all, I grinned to myself as I noticed the limo pull into the Lockwood driveway.
