Chapter Two: In The Hospital


Elena's P.O.V

I don't feel so good when I wake up, where am I? I don't remember anything. I open my eyes and I find myself in the hospital and across from my bed I see Matt, OMG why is Matt here? I see that Matt realizes I'm awake and walk towards me. He looks sad, what happened?


Matt's P.O.V

How am I going to tell her that her parents died, I can't tell her that? She will be crushed, I don't know how she ever going to get over this, and I love her so much, I just have to say something.

All I can think is that 'I'm so scared to tell her'. "Hi Elena, how are you?" I ask trying to figure out a way to tell her.

I can see that she is getting suspicious, she knows me to well, and she can see that I'm hiding something. "I'm okay, my body hurts, what happened to me?" She asks nervously.

OMG! I can't lie to her, but I just can't be the one to tell her. "I don't think that I'm the one to tell you, I'm going to get Jenna." I say already getting up.

I can see that she is getting scared. "Why? Where are Jeremy and my parents? Just tell me what happened Matt." She says stubbornly.

I just have to get out of here, before I have to tell her because I just can't. "Jenna will tell you, I'll go get her." I say knowing that she's not okay with this so I'll get out of here before she have time to question me.

"Okay then." I hear her say just before I run out of the door.


Elena's P.O.V

I feel like it takes forever for Matt to get Jenna, but finally Jenna comes in, I was hoping she would seem happier, so that I would feel better, but now I'm sure that this can't be good, but I have no idea, I don't remember anything.

I see Matt leave the room again in a hurry, and that really scares me, is what happened so awful that he can't even stay here, while Jenna tells me, what is going on? "Hi Elena, how are you sweetie?" Jenna ask quietly.

Why are they all asking me that, just tell me what happened? "I'm fine, just tell me what happened, Jenna?" I say wanting to know what's going on around here.

I can see that she doesn't want to tell me, whatever it is. "Okay I'll tell you, but I'm not sure if you're ready to hear it, you were in an accident with your parents, your dads car was found under water under Wickery Bridge, and your parents was still in the car, they didn't get out in time. Elena they are gone, and we have no idea of how you got out of the car, it was a true miracle that you did, and that you're alive. I'm so sorry sweetie; it's just me, you and Jeremy now." She says sobbing.

When Jenna told me, I quickly started to remember the accident. No no no no no, this can't be right, my parents can't be dead! It's all my fault, why didn't I just stay home. It's just too painful to hear, before I can think more about it I start to cry. "It's all my fault I should have stayed home, then they would still me here, they can't just be dead." I say feeling guilty.

I can see that it hurts her. "I'm so sorry Elena, and it's not your fault never forget that, I know Matt want to see you after I told you, so if it's okay I'm going to get him?" She asks cautiously.

OMG! I forgot about Matt, there is something I have to tell him anyway and maybe it will keep me from thinking about my parents. "It's okay, just go get him." I say wanting to get this over with.

Jenna leaves and I see Matt enters, he looks really sad, it so wrong of me to do this now, but it have to be done sooner or later. "I'm so sorry for your loss Elena, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just couldn't, is there anything I can do for you?" He asks caressing my cheek and know he means well.

I have to tell him how I feel, so here it goes. "Thanks Matt, it's okay, but there is something that I have to tell you." I say wishing that I didn't have to do this to him, but my mom and Bonnie was right, I have to set him free, I can't keep doing this, I have to tell him how I feel.

"Yeah, what?" He says sweetly and I just feel so guilty for breaking up with Matt, but I have too.

"Okay here it goes, I really care about you Matt, but I can't be with you right now, I need some time alone, I still want to be friends, but I can't be with you right now." I say cautiously as I see Matt with tears in his eyes, this is breaking my heart, why couldn't I just feel the same way about him.

"Elena please don't do this, I'll be here for you and help you through it, please don't break up with me, please! You know I love you." He begged and I wish I could, but I can't.

I feel so bad for doing this to him, but I have to, I don't like him like that, I never really did. "I'm sorry Matt, but I... I... I... Just can't." I finally say and I see that Matt can't hold his tears back anymore and storms out of the room, leaving me alone and I feel my heart break for hurting him. Then I see Jeremy enters.

I starts to cry when I see him, because I remember that our parents are gone, and that it's my fault that Jeremy doesn't have his parents anymore. "Elena thank god you're all right." He says relived.

I see that Jeremy starts to cry as well. "OMG Jer, our parents are gone, and it my fault." I say as the guilt consumes me.

Jeremy looks at me, there is so much hurt in his eyes and that breaks my heart. "It's not your fault Elena; I don't want to ever hear you say that, because it's not true." He says walking towards me, while crying and pulls me in for a hug, and we both cries on each other's shoulders. After Jeremy left I decided to write in my diary to get my feelings down on paper I don't deserve to forget.

Dear Diary,

What am I suppose to do now? My parents are gone, Jer and I are all alone now, and we only have Jenna left.

It's my fault, my parents died because of me and now Jer have to live with my mistake, and he don't even blame me, he is just happy that I didn't die too, but I know I should have, I deserved it, it's all my fault.

The only reason why I doesn't end it now; is because of Jer, I just can't leave him like this, he is my baby brother, I need to take care of him and get him through this.

I just have to because I really care about my brother and we have to and need to take care of each other now, plus it's my fault that we lost our parents so I owe him everything, it would be cruel to leave him like this.

- Elena


Damon's P.O.V

Elena.. I just can't stop thinking about her, there was just something about her, and I just know that she is nothing like Katherine was, in a god way.

I really wished that I could get to know her, but I made sure that she wouldn't remember me, I can't just go to her now, plus I'm here to get Katherine back and find my brother and try to make it right with him, so I don't have time for a girl I barely even know anyway.

I turn on the TV and I hear the news:

A girl and her parents have been in an accident on Wickery Bridge on the day I met Elena then the news guy announces that the only one who survived is the daughter Elena Gilbert.

OMG Elena she could have died, why didn't I save her, why didn't I make sure that she got home safe. I was with her just seconds before it happened why didn't I follow her, but thank goodness that she's okay, but how did she get out of the car?

Somebody must have saved her, when I think about it; it make sense that Stefan must have been the one who saved her, it's so Stefan.

I know for sure now that he won't leave right away, because if he saved her then he will know, that she looks like Katherine and won't be able to leave before he is sure that she isn't her. So I was right he did come back here. Now I just have to find him, and I will it's a small town.


Stefan's P.O.V

I have to know who she is ... Elena ... She looks exactly like Katherine; I have to make sure that it isn't her, because Katherine is dead. I decided to find out everything about her.

After during some digging on her, I found out that her name is Elena Gilbert, she is living with her aunt Jenna and her little brother Jeremy. Her best friends are Bonnie and Caroline, her ex-boyfriend and childhood friend is named Matt.

Elena isn't related to the Gilbert's according to the hospital records, because there is no record of her mom being pregnant, but no record of adoption ether, the only thing there is certain is that she is not Katherine, but she might be related to her.

I know now that she isn't Katherine, but I already like her more than I ever liked Katherine or maybe she's just a distraction because Katherine is dead. Now I know that she isn't Katherine and that means I should be able to leave Mystic Falls now, but I can't I'm simply not able to resist her. I just have to know her.

I already figured out of how I'm going to get to know her, I have to go to her school, in some of her classes, I'm going to enroll as a new student after summer vacation, until then I'm just going to be around her without her seeing me, so that I can learn more about her, and protect her if she needs it.


Damon's P.O.V

I found him, my brother Stefan, I saw him the other day, he was trying to find out more about Elena, how come this always happen to me? I've only loved one girl and that's Katherine and when I'm considering to move on, then my brother lay eyes on the same girl as I do? This town repeats itself that must be it.

Why does he even like her, it's not like he ever talked to her. I know why I like her and it's NOT because she looks like Katherine, but because of our meeting close to Wickery Bridge, she is just so real, special and different.

I like that she's not like Katherine and maybe I should feel bad about that, but I don't, and now my brother wants her and I don't want to let a girl come between us again, it's not like I'm in love with Elena right? I don't even know her.

So I just focus on my original plan to fix my relationship with Stefan and to get Katherine out of the tomb, so that we can be together forever like we were meat too, I doesn't matter that I've been waiting for her for 145 years.

The only thing that matters is that I loved her and I still do, it must be real. Back when I was a human, when I was with Katherine, I always knew everything she never compelled me it was real for me. I wanted to a vampire to be with her forever and I intend to get it that was, I hope.

I loved her for who she were, even when I found out that she was a vampire, but the crazy part about it is; that it just made me love her even more, because that meant that we could be together forever and we would never have to lose each other.

I'm so happy that she didn't die even though I have to find a way to get her out of the tomb, and that isn't going to be easy, but hey who said that real love is easy.

If it was easy, then how would you know that it's real? In my eyes love isn't real until we both want to fight to keep it, that we would want to stay together no matter the costs, because if there is a cost there is too high then maybe it wasn't real at all.
