Can you sit there and think of a time when you told the truth and it was the wrong thing to do? I bet you can. My name is Elena and telling the truth cost me the most important person in my life, will I ever be able to get back to the girl everyone knew and loved. Well this is my story. . .

10 years ago

Running through the field at the back of my house, I feel the warm summer breeze hitting my face. That's when I see him my best friend since I can remember, Damon Salvatore. With his mousy brown hair and that smirk that show his dimples he runs towards me, I leap into his arms and he spins me around, laughing. It's only been two weeks but it's felt like years, Damon had to go and spend two weeks with his dad at that age I didn't know what happened to his father and mother I was too young but once I was older and understood I would look back to when he would leave and wished I never let him go. Them two weeks had been torture. I feel him slowly put me down, he may be 2 years older than me but he can sure act like an eight year old. I look up at him and see him staring down at me.

"How was your dad?" I asked. He just shrugged his shoulder and laid down on the green grass with his eyes closed, I sat down next to him "That bad then?" I pondered, I watched his eyes click open and his smirk and the light in his eyes go away. I knew what was coming even at that age I understood, he had anger problems. "Look, I don't want to talk about it." he sneered, I laid down next to him and closed my eyes. Some time past and then he whispered into my "Elena?" I opened my eyes, looked at him with concern "Don't ever forget me, okay?" he asked. At that age I thought he was being silly, but I didn't know then what had happened them two weeks but I laughed at him "Of course I won't." That is one day I would happily go back to, just to take him seriously and say I will never forget you.

writers note- Sorry this chapter was short but the others won't be this was just showing you as a reader what kind of story this is going to be.
