Elena had gotten up extra early to pack her belongings as today was the first day of volunteering at the Army hospital, she was excited as it allowed her to get away from her crazy life and family but then she over thinks of the deal she made with her parents. Elena wasn't ready for marriage and especially with Damon, and just then she heard a car honk "Elena your ride is here!" Elena heard her mom yell.
Elena was about to pick up her suitcase when a maid offered to pick it up, Elena wasn't like her parents. Elena didn't want other people doing anything for her people she thought it was cruel "No it's okay Mary, I'll take it down" Elena smiled and gave Mary a hug "I'll see you when I get back, just make sure you keep my bedroom nice and clean" Elena giggled with Mary as she exited her bedroom.
Elena descended from the stairs and saw her parents standing by the doorway "I guess this is a goodbye" Elena sighed and gave her parents both a hug with a kiss on their cheeks. Elena's mom wiped a tear drop from her eye with a tissue "Stay safe and you better write to us" Elena smiled as she nodded. "Daddy" Elena stared at her dad "Your ride is waiting... just remember our deal" Elena didn't answer back instead she headed to the car until she heard her brother Sam yell her name "Elena!" She turned around and opened her arms for an embrace "I'll miss you the most" Elena felt Sam kiss her head #I don't want you to go" Elena looked at him and gave a brave smile. Elena looked back to her parents and then entered the car.
As the car engine began she took a deep breath and looked back to her parents and her brother as the car began to drive away from the distance, Elena got out a journal that she had brought to write down everything about this journey of hers and she began by writing...
"Journal Entry 1
Here I am... I'm on my way to the airport as we speak and I can't wait to get there and start helping and saving lives as it's what I want to do in the future. Doctor that's right, I want to be a doctor some day and I hope it comes true but first I am wanting to be at surface to those who need it.
Joe is currently driving as I'm writing this and to be honest I'm so nervous but who wouldn't it's like starting your first day at secondary school right?
I've promised Matt that I'll write to him about everything while he's at the beach for his summer, however I also promised that I'll write to my parents because if I write they'll know that I'm alive and safe but really they just want me to probably stay away from males but like honestly... like I'm gonna have any chance to actually speak to males because it's the Army but it's my parents...
I'm gonna go now, I'll write as soon as I can
Elena. G"
