If y'all have any advice I would love for you to tell me. I am super excited and nervous at the same time. Hope you like it! Love you Savy

It has been four months since her parents died. Three months since she got on a plane to leave her problems and travel the world. Two months since she started to let go of the past while finding herself. One month since she came home back to the small quant town of Mystic Falls and swore that she would not let her parent's death hold her back any longer.

The beating organ in her chest that she had once called a heart was now just numb. All the pain that she used to have she pushed aside. Her feelings were void and she was happy that way. At least she told herself she was.

She grew up in Mystic Falls with her twin sister Elena and younger brother Jeremy. Elena and Johanna were un-identical twins and, when they said un-identical they meant un-identical. Elena had olive skin with gorgeous brown straight hair parted down the middle. Strands of hair framed her heart shaped model looking face. No one could forget her deep dark brown eyes that matched her hair. She looked like the porcelain French dolls Johanna saw while traveling that summer.

Johanna had lightly sun kissed skin, and she had naturally wavy beach like honey blonde hair. It was parted to the right and, hit right above the end of her rib cage. She had side bangs with small, medium, and large chunks of hairs that were layered to frame around her face. She had a small round face with hazel brown eyes with hints of green hidden beneath the light brown tones. Elena was an inch or two taller than Johanna but, Johanna still had very long legs for her size.

Their personalities also could not be more different either. Elena was the poster child she was smart, strong, always knew what to say, and practically perfect in Johanna's eyes. Johanna on the other hand had dyslexia, ADD, asthma, and suffered from extreme anxiety. She had worked with her dad, who was a doctor, on being able to live without ADD or anxiety medicine. They kept the inhaler around just in case but she could calm her breathing with exercise. She had to start a sport to get out some of her energy so she started cheer. She also loved to swim, run and play soccer but, she put her all into cheerleading and that is why she has stuck around it for so long. Johanna was basically the tomboy. She had her fearless moments but she also had her socially awkward moments.

They both just had turned sixteen when Elena, their mom and dad had an accident off Wickery Bridge. Elena was told by all the doctors that she must have had a guardian angel that night watching over. She was found alive but, unconscious by the lake where the car dove into. No one knew how she got out of the car, not even Elena.

That is when their lovely aunt Jenna took over. All the kids took it pretty hard and, even though Johanna hid her pain the best, in the beginning, she took the death the hardest. That is when she signed up to go intern abroad for two months. She left behind all the anger and sadness and, chose to live life to the fullest that summer. When she returned to Mystic Falls she started to hang out with a more dangerous darning group of people. Unlike her old tight nit friends Elena and she had. She could honestly say it was the best summer of her life but, she would not dare tell her siblings that.
