Chapter 1

Reacquainting

"Evie?" Liz Forbes or known to me as my mother said. I smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"Can I stay here?" I asked sheepishly, knowing I should have called first. Her eyebrows raised but she moved out of the doorway to let me in. "I'm sorry for not calling first, but I just didn't really think about it at the time."

"Oh, that's fine. Uh, well," Liz led me to the living room and she took a seat. I sat next to her. "Why are you in Mystic Falls?"

"I just got sick of dad and ,um, his friend. It was always weird and I missed you mom. Caroline too." I said meeting her eyes. "I should've stayed here." I admitted. She looked choked up and brought me into a hug.

"You can always stay here, Evie." She sniffed and brought me out to look at. "Wow, you've really grown up."

Its been two years since my parents got a divorce because of my dads knowledge that he liked…men. It was weird. I was 16 at the time and Caroline was 15. Let's just say I was in my 'I hate Mom' stage and moved with my dad and his… boyfriend, to New York. It was great not having a mom caring so much, and a dad and his boyfriend too caught up in each other to pay attention to me. But then after a year and a half my dad started completely ignoring me, that's when I got sick of it. I decided to move back with my mom and sister, even though I hated Mystic Falls.

So, yes, I guess I've grown up. I'm now 18. I still have my long blonde hair and big blue eyes, but I've gotten taller. 5'8". My womanly curves became more pronounced and you can say I'm average, not skinny as a rail.

"Yeah." I smiled and noticed the wrinkles around her eyes and forehead. Her job and the divorce definitely aged her…

Her eyes all of a sudden narrowed at me. "Wait. What about college?" Oh butter nuggets... (AN: my own phrase I use :P).

"Oh, well you know. So how's Caroline?" I tried changing the subject.

"Evelyn?" Liz stood up and looked at me. I stood up too, not liking being looked down on.

"I thought I could skip a year to get my head on straight. I'm still not sure what I want to do." I shrugged and hoped she wouldn't go crazy on me like she did in high school.

She took a deep breath and sighed. "One year." I nodded and smiled. "Caroline hates me." She whipped out of nowhere.

My smile instantly dropped. "What? Why?"

"She says I work too much and that I don't act like her mother. I do feed her and put clothes on her back though, don't I?" She rubbed a hand down her face. "I don't know what to do. And plus she's hardly home anymore."

"Its okay, mom. I'll talk to her."

After my mom helped me unload my car, which was about 4 suitcases and 2 boxes, she told me my old room was still unused, and left for the station.

My room was the exact same as I remember it from 2 years ago. The same blue walls and white curtains. Before I started unpacking my clothes, I put up my knick knacks and photos frames around the room. It almost looked like my room…but I was missing something.

I looked around and that's when I noticed it seemed I had more walking room… I looked at my bed and gasped. It was a TWIN bed. Not my huge queen bed like before. I made some angry noise in the back of my throat and stomped off to Caroline's room. I pushed open the door and THERE AND BEHOLD, MY queen bed!

I walked back to my room knowing I could never bring it back to my room without some sort of help.

After hunting down some sheets for my bed and unpacking everything into my dresser and closet, I plopped down onto my bed exhausted. My head lazily flopped to look at my clock and noticed it was 5 p.m. Shouldn't Caroline be home from school?

I grumbled to myself and decided to make dinner for Caroline and me, since my mom had the night shift tonight.

I was chopping up onions for the hot dogs when I heard the front door open and close. I set down the knife carefully, because I hated knives, and made my way to the front hall excited.

I turned the corner and saw the familiar blonde taking off her boots. She definitely looked different from the last time I saw her. Caroline was tall like me, skinny like usual, and had boobs. Wow, she only wore training bras last time I saw her.

"Hello?" I said in a low voice so it would sound like a man. I know weird, right? But it was always our little joke for some reason. Caroline whipped around so fast it didn't look human and growled? I raised a brow at her, "You don't recognize your own sister Care bear?" I smiled stepping closer.

Caroline's eyes got huge and rushed to me. "Oh my god, Evie! What are you doing here?" She smiled and stepped back.

"Well I decided to come stay here, since dad's house is a bit…crowded." I shrugged.

"Oh, I bet." She sighed and then put on a happy face. "Is that hot dogs?" She sniffed.

"Yep." I smiled. "Your favorite."

"Your awesome, Evie." She giggled and followed me to the kitchen.

Taking a bite of my hot dog Caroline asked, "So I thought you were going to college?"

I swallowed. "I am, but in a year. I still don't know what I'm going to be." I laughed. "Like always. Have you thought about your future job?"

Caroline looked down at her hot dog and frowned. "No, not really."

"Why not Care? You only have one more year of school left. You need to start planning."

"I- I know. It just really hasn't been on my mind." Care sighed.

"I'm surprised. I remember mom was pestering me about it in my freshmen year." I laughed remembering my mom telling me to be a lawyer or something with a good pay.

"Well, not to me." Care said bitterly. I glanced up at her sudden change of mood. "She's hardly around because of her job and because of all the…uh, animal attacks going on. It feels like I live here by myself."

I frowned, realizing that Caroline was really upset about this. "Tell her that and maybe she'll get less hours or something. And you have me here now. We can hang out." I smiled nudging her hand on the table. Her hand was freezing. "Woah! Want me to turn up the heat?" I glanced at her frantic looking eyes.

"Uh, no, I just have… bad circulation?" It sounded more like a question.

"Okay…" I frowned suspiciously and took another bite of my hotdog, watching her from the corner of my eye.

After eating and cleaning up dinner, we got in our pj's and had a movie night, like good time sake.

Dear Diary,

I have my family back and the people that I love. I know Caroline is acting strange and different, and I'm determined to find out what changed about her. I also plan on getting my mom and sister back on track again. Mystic Falls….I hate this place, but what the hell. Where else am I suppose to go? I hope I made the right choice in moving here. Night :D

What'd ya think? Good? Bad? Revieww! :)

P.S. i cant wait for the next episode tomorrow! I'm so exciteddd! I've been hating the last 2 weeks without my Damon ;P lol
