Dear Diary,
Today will be different, it has to be. I will smile, and it will be believeable. My smile will say, I'm fine, thank you. Yes, I feel much better. I will no longer be the sad little girl that lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I will make it through.
I put my pen down, and read over what I wrote. I felt like today could be one of the worst days of my life. I walk downstairs and made a cup of coffee. Jenna is rambling on about how totally unprepared she is.
"It's all about the coffee Aunt Jenna." Elena states as she pours herself a cup. I sit on the counter and sip my cup when Jeremy enters the kitchen.
"Is there coffee?" he asks as he takes mine.
"Oh you're welcome, I wasn't drinking that or anything." I said, glaring at Jeremy. I poured myself another cup of coffee, as Aunt Jenna went on about how totally unprepared she was.
"Lunch money?" asks Aunt Jenna. Both me and Elena shake our heads, as Jeremy grabs it all from her hands.
"Don't you have a big presentation today?" I ask Aunt Jenna, after she is making sure she wasn't missing anything.
"I am meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap." she says, as she looks down at her watch.
"Then go, we will be fine." Elena assures her.
"Yeah, we're good. Go." I say giving her a nod, as she looks at us. Elena then asks if Jer's ok.
"Don't start." he bites back annoyed.
"Just let him go." I say with a sigh. She sighs also, and we head out the door. As Bonnie is driving us to school, she goes on, about how, she has been told she is psychic. I just kind of drown out what she is saying, losing focus. Elena did the same thing.
"Elena! Sam! Back in the car." Bonnie basically yells at us, snapping me and Elena out of our daze.
"We did it again, didn't we." Elena says, glancing back at me in the backseat. Once Elena made sure of what Bonnie was saying, I told Bonnie to predict something.
"Ok Bonnie, then predict something, about Elena and I." I asked her.
"I see," Bonnie started,when I think a bird hit the windshield, and the car spun out of control. We all gasped when it hit, and then finally, after a few spins, Bonnie got the car to stop. We all sat there with shocked, and a little freaked out expressions. Mostly Elena and I. In my mind, the night of the car crash, flashed into my mind.
"What was that?" Bonnie asked as we were all panting. "Oh my god. Elena, Sam, are you ok?" she asks us.
"Yeah we're fine." Elena stated.
"Yeah, we can't be afraid of cars the rest of our lives." I added.
"I predict, this year is going to be kick ass. All the sad and dark times are over, and you two, are going to be beyond happy." Bonnie told us, looking between me and Elena with a smile. We then drove off, and finally made our way to school. I walked into the school, over to Elena and Bonnie's lockers. I watched as Elena and Matt made eye contact with each other.
"He hates me." Elena says sadly looking at us, once Matt walks away. Bonnie and I assure her, and Bonnie then tells Elena how Matt is probably feeling about their whole, relationship problems. Caroline then walks over to us.
"Sammy! Elena! Oh my god." she says to us, while pulling both of us into a bone crushing hug. "How are you guys?" she asks. "How are they? Are they Good?" Caroline says turning to Bonnie.
"Caroline we're right here." I say to her.
"We're fine. Thank you." Elena adds. Caroline then hugs us again, and then leaves. We all look at each other, and then Elena says, "No comment." We all laugh, and then walk off to class. On our way, we see someone new in the office. Elena and Bonnie go on about how he has a hot back. I just stand there laughing. We were enjoying ourselves, when Elena notices Jeremy.
"We'll be right back." Elena tells Bonnie, as she tugs on my arm, to go with her. I really don't want to get into it with Jeremy. If he wants to live his life like an ass, and stoned all the time, let him. He will learn his lesson eventually.
Elena pulls me into the men's bathroom, and Elena walks up to Jeremy and grabs his face.
"Great, it's the first day of school and you're stoned. Elena tries to see if Jeremy has anything, and he denies it.
"You need to chill yourself alright?" Jeremy asks, obviously annoyed.
"Chill myself, what is that, stoner talk? Elena asks. "Dude, you're so cool. Elena keeps trying to see if Jeremy has any, and he still denies. Jeremy tries to leave, but Elena stops him.
"You know what? Keep it up, but I'm going to kill your buzz every single time. You go it?"
"I don't need this." Jeremy states. He walks away and glares at me. I look down, and don't say anything. Elena and I look at each other and sigh. We walk out of the bathroom, and Elena runs into someone. He must be the new guy.
"Uh, pardon me." he says in a low voice. "Um, is this the men's room?" he asks curious as to why we were in there.
"Yes, uh, I was just, uh." Elena was at a loss of words, so I piped in.
"It's a long story." I say to him with a smile. I chuckle at Elena. Someones got a crush. I smile at the the thought. They both step to the same side. Then they do it again. They smile at each other. I grab Elena's hand, and he lets us pass.
We are now, sitting in class listening to boring Mr. Tanner babble along in history. I drown him out, and watch Elena and the new guy glance at each other. When Elena looks away from him, I get out my phone and text Elena.
HAWT-E staring you.
She looks at her phone and smiles.
After school, I tell Elena and Bonnie, I am going to walk home. I stop at the cemetery, and sit by my parents grave. I take out my journal and pen, and start writing.
Dear Diary,
I made it through the day. I must have said, I'm fine, thanks, at least 37 times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When some asks how are you, they really don't want an answer.
As I was trying to finish writing, a crow flew over, and landed on my parents gravestone. It crowed a high pitched noise.
"Ok, hi bird." I said to it weirdly. "That's not creepy or anything." I continued to write in my journal, when fog, started to encircle the cemetery. I looked around confused. The crow made a sound again. I got up, and waved my hand at the bird. "Shoo." I said sternly. The crow flew off. "That's what I thought." I turned back around, to find the crow perched on the gravestone I was sitting against earlier. I gasped, creeped out. I grabbed my stuff. And speed walked through the cemetery, towards the exit. I turned around, and looked behind me. Is someone standing by a grave? I turn back around and start running. Now, I am really freaked out. As I was running, I tripped and fell. I quickly got back up. I looked behind me again, and turned back to find the new guy, a.k.a Elena's crush. (I just love the sound of that. Maybe this new guy could work out with Elena, he seems nice enough. Maybe it will help her move on.) I gasped.
"Are you ok?" he asked concerned.
"Were you following me?" I ask out of breath from running.
"No." he replies. I get into a pretty good conversation with him, and mention that he should get to know my sister a little better. He agreed. Then all of a sudden, he got this weird look on his face.
"Did you hurt yourself?" he asked with a weird expression.
"What?"
"DId you hurt yourself." I lifted up my shirt. It revealed, a shallow cut on my side.
"Would you look at that?" I said. Stefan turned around.
"Hey, you ok?" I asked confused.
"You should really have that looked at." he said in a strange voice. I look up, about to say something, but Stefan had disappeared. Weird.
"We're meeting Bonnie at the grill." I told Jenna, as Elena and I walked towards the door.
"Ok have fun." Jenna says, about to walk off. "Wait!" she says turning around to face us.
"I've got this. Don't stay out late, It's a school night." she says with a smile.
"Well done aunt Jenna." I said laughing, as Elena clapped in approval. We walked towards the door. Elena opened it and gasped. Confused I looked over her shoulder, to find Stefan.
"Oh," Elena said confused.
"Sorry, I was about to knock." Stefan replied guiltily. "Uhh, you left this." Stefan says, looking at me.
"Oh gosh, I must have dropped it. Thank you." I reply, taking the small book gratefully. I walk back into the house and put my diary in a safe enough place for now. When I return, I hear Stefan ask if we were going anywhere.
"Yes actually, we are meeting a friend." I say with a smile.
"Do you wanna come?" Elena asks hopeful he accepts.
Stefan smiles. I'll take that as a yes, I think to myself.
We walk into the grill, and it seems like everyone is staring at us. "Well I am going to go over and talk with Tyler." I inform them smiling. "See ya later Stefan." I add as I walk over to Tyler and start talking with him. "Hey Ty." I said as Caroline walked off. Probably to go stalk on Stefan. That girl needs to find a man, so she doesn't steal someone else's.
"Hey Gilbert." he says with a smirk, looking down into my honey colored eyes. "Haven't seen you for awhile." he adds.
"Just trying to keep busy." I reply with a sad smile. Feeling the tension, Tyler decides to change the subject.
"Hey, you going to the back to school party?" he asks with curiosity and hopefulness etched in his voice.
"Well that depends. Do you want me to come?" I ask. A smile playing on my lips.
"Maybe I do. Does that finalize your answer to a yes?" he asks playfully.
"Just might, Lockwood. See ya later." I reply, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek
"Can't wait to see you there Samantha" I laugh at the use of my full name, and walk out to Elena's car, for her to drive me home.
I am again sitting in history class listening to boring Mr. Tanner talk about the boring battle at Willow Creek.
"Miss Gilbert." I look up from my page of doodles, to see Mr. Tanner staring at me. "Surely you would like to answer the question with the right answer." he says staring daggers at me.
"Its ok Mr. Tanner. I'm good without answering a boring question that I could care less about." I reply sweetly with an innocent smile. The class lets a few giggles escape their lips.
"Very funny, Miss Samantha, but this isn't a comedian club. This is history class. Soon that kind of answer will get you a detention." he says with a smile. I instantly glare at him. What a dick. He asks a few more kids and they still don't know the answer. "What about the other Gilbert. Wouldn't you like to enlighten the class."
"I'm sorry, I don't, know." Elena says.
"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal reasons ended with summer break." he replied coldly. Ok, the dick went to far. He can't say those things to Elena. That is just wrong.
"There were 346 casualties. Unless you were counting local civilians." Someone said, getting the attention off Elena. We all turned our heads. I was shocked to see it was Stefan.
"That's correct, Mr..."
"Salvatore." Stefan replied casually.
"Very good. Except there were no civilians as casualties in this battle." Mr. Tanner added walking back towards his desk.
"Actually, sir, there were 27. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss." Stefan said. Wow, I was impressed. No one ever really spoke up to Mr. Tanner. I like this guy.
For the party I decided to wear, a mint green floral lace tank top, a black leather jacket on top, dark skinny jeans, and black flats. To top it off, I leave my chocolate brown hair in its usual natural curls, and put on some mascara to make my honey colored eyes pop.
"Lena, Jer. Lets go!" I screamed, grabbing the car keys from the counter and walked out to the car. I hopped in the front seat, and started the car. Once Elena hopped in the front seat, and Jeremy in the back, I backed out of our driveway, and drove to the party.
Once the we got there, the party was already underway. Jeremy walked off, and I told Elena, I was going to go grab a beer. I filled up a red plastic cup with alcohol, and went off to sit by the fire.
"Hey, you made it." said a familiar voice.
"Guess I did." I said, smirking at none other than Tyler Lockwood.
"You look hot." Tyler complimented me.
"Thanks," I blushed. "I am gonna go get a refill." I said, so I could get out of this awkward situation.
"Alright, cool. I'll see you later." he said, and walked in the other direction.
As I was getting a refill, I noticed Tyler, taking Vicki, away from the party, and farther into the woods. Great, Vicki probably saw us together, and Tyler probably knew it too. What an ass. Tyler was an old flame that burned out. I can't keep trying to relight the fire, I thought to myself.
I was wandering around the party, until I heard 'Lena yelling for help.
"Elena?" I yelled, jogging over to where she was yelling from. "Elena what's-" I stopped mid sentence when I noticed Jeremy carrying a bloody Vicki. "Oh my god." I said under my breath.
Vicki? Vicki what the hell?!" Matt yells confused. Everyone was hectic. Something bit Vicki Donovan's neck. I look over, and see Stefan with a look of confusion, and...fear. Stefan starts backing away, and out of sight.
Stefan runs to his house, and is seen by a confused Zach.
"What's going on?" he asks Stefan.
"Someone else was attacked tonight Zach, and it wasn't me. Stefan ran up to his room. A crow flew into his room, which was followed by a man.
"Damon." Stefan says, upset.
"Hello brother." the other Salvatore replies.
"Crows a bit much don't ya think?" Stefan asks coldly
"Wait until you see what I can do with the fog." he replies with a devilish grin.
"When did you get here?"
"Well I couldn't miss your first day of school." Damon replies casually "Your hairs different. I like it."
"Its been 15 years, Damon."
"Thank god, I couldn't take another day of the '90's. That horrible grunge look, did not suit you." Damon said with a laugh
"Why are you here!" Stefan said, getting angrier.
"I missed my little brother." he replied with a smirk.
"You hate small towns, it's boring, there is nothing for you to do."
"I've managed to keep myself busy." he said with a chuckle.
"You know you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you." Stefan said, starring intently at Damon.
"Ahh, that could be a problem, for you."
"Why are you here now?" Stefan said, repeating his previous question.
"I could ask you the same question, however, I am fairly certain I can sum it up into 2 little words. Elena and Samantha." he laughed
The paramedics strapped Vicki Donovan onto the gurney, and lifted her into the ambulence. Matt hopped in after, and soon, the ambulence drove off.
"They both took my breath away, Samantha, and Elena. Especially Samantha. Very beautiful. There dead ringers for Katherine and Alex. Is it working Stefan. Being around them? Being in there world, does it make you feel alive?"
They are not Katherine and Alex." Stefan said in a whisper.
"Well lets hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell me something, when's the last time you have had something stronger than a squirrel?"
"Huh, I know what you're doing Damon, and it's not going to work." Stefan replied, turning away from Damon.
"Come on," Damon says, hitting Stefan. "Don't you crave a little."
"Stop it."
"Let's do it. Together." Damon says, hitting Stefan again. "I saw a couple girls out there. Or, lets just cut to the chase, and you go straight for Elena, and I will go straight for Samantha." Damon says hitting Stefan in the back of the head. Stefan shoves Damon back.
"I said stop it!" Stefan yells
"Imagine what there blood tastes like!" Damon yells back. " I can." he says getting quieter. Stefan's face turns into the face of a demon.
"I said stop!" he screams angrily, pushing Damon out the window. They land on the ground with a loud thud. Stefan opens his eyes to see broken pieces of glass from the window, but no Damon. He lets out a groan of pain as he tries to stand up.
"I was impressed. I give it a 6. Missed on style, but I was pleasantly suprised." Damon says with a smirk
"You know it's all fun game Damon huh? But where ever you go, people die."
"That's given."
"No, not here, I won't allow it." Stefan says
"I take that as an invitation." Damon replies simply
"Damon please, after all these years can't we just give it a rest?" Stefan asks pleadingly
"I promised you, an eternity, of misery. I am just keeping my word." Damon says with an innocent smile
"Just stay away from Sam, and Elena." Stefan tells him.
"Where's your ring?" Damon asks, playing stupid, as Stefan looks down at the finger that usually has his daylight ring on it. "Sun comes up in a couple of hours and, poof, ashes to ashes." Damon laughs. "Relax, It's right here." Stefan takes it. Then, Damon's face turns demonic. He grabs Stefan's throat and throws him at the house.
"You should know better than to think you're stronger than me." says an angry Damon, over a pained Stefan. "You lost that fight, when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again." Damon says in a menacing voice. Damon looks around. "Think I woke Zach up." Damon says with a smirk. He then walks up to the house, leaving Stefan on the ground.
Samantha, Elena and Jeremy are still at the party. Elena tries to comfort Jeremy, but he just shrugs he off.
"I called Jenna, she's on her way." Elena tells us with a sigh. Elena tries to talk to Jeremy about moving on. He gets pissed, and yells that going to a cemetery, and writing in my journal isn't moving on either. I look down at the ground, not wanting to get into the argument between the two again.
Matt is sitting by Vicki's hospital bed with tears in his eyes, waiting for his sister to regain consciousness. Vicky finally flutters her eyes open.
"Hey," Matt says in a whisper with a smile on his face. "It's ok." he says soothingly.
"Matt."
"Shh, hey, don't try to talk ok?" he asks quietly. "You're fine."
"Vampire." she says, struggling to get the word out audible, so Matt can hear her.
Dear Diary,
I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that I could smile, and nod my way through it. Pretend like it would all be ok. Without the pain, someone alive. But, it's not that easy the bad things stay with you. They follow you. You can't escape them, as much as you want to. All you can do is be ready for the good. So all you can do is invite it in. You need it. I need it.
I heard the door open, and heard Elena talking to Stefan. I smiled when she invited him in. Stefan will be good for Elena. He has to be.
I snuggled into my covers with a smile on my face, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
I hope you liked it! Yes it is pretty much totally based off the story, but I added my character Samantha, and eventually her doppelganger Alexandria.(She shows up in the episode Katherine does)
Please review! I won't continue this story if I don't get any reviews so, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!:)
