My Hair is Curls, Her Hair is Straight
Dear Diary,
Today we just got investigated by Caroline's mom who is the sheriff. I couldn't stop seeing Vicki's corpse when I think about it but I couldn't blame Damon or Stefan but fate that has cost my brother pain that he could no longer remember that Vicki is dead. I re-read Katherine's diary again and found that today is Stefan's 162 birthday. I got him an old classic watch though it's almost a replica of the Gilbert watch but it's modern. I'm going to visit my two favorite vampires at the board house today and Elena is coming with me to give back the necklace… I think she was holding it in her hands. Gotta get going Elena is calling me.
With happiness,
Olivia Pierce
I put it in my bag, picked my bag up, and ran downstairs to the garage.

I ran up the stairs and waited for Elena to follow on the porch. We walked together to the door and I rang the doorbell. All of a sudden a woman's voice was heard by our ears.
"The door's open!" We exchanged confused looks and entered.
I closed the door behind us and followed Elena slowly into the hallway. We heard footsteps and turned around to see a blonde woman clade in only a towel. Suddenly she stumbled into a stop when she saw us with a shocked look in her eyes.
We were silent but the blonde kept muttering of how there's two of us and how we were alive and it came to me that she was a vampire and knew about Katherine and everything. When Elena introduced herself, I thought to cut in.
"And I'm Olivia." She nodded in recognition and confusion.
"I'm Lexi," 'Lexi' introduced herself.
It was silent for a moment and Elena left after Lexi offered if we can wait for him but Elena obviously changed her mind and almost ran out.
I stayed behind and just stared at Lexi for a moment before speaking, "You said Stefan's upstairs, in his room?" She nodded and I smiled politely. "Thank you."
I walked past her and up the stairs. I walked in his room and greeted him.
"Hey, Olivia," he greeted back, hugging me. As he released me and spoke, I went to sit on his bed, "What are you doing here?"
"What? I can't visit my boyfriends brother," I said innocently as Lexi walked back in.
"You wouldn't have a reason to unless it concerns Damon, Elena, your friends, or your family," Stefan stated. I rolled my eyes and groaned.
"Ok, fine you caught me." I jumped off my bed and hugged him once again. "Happy Birthday!" After I was done hugging him, I saw a shocked look on his face.
"Oh, please you didn't think I didn't know your birthday. I have connections you know," I said. "Besides by the reaction of your friend you have a lot of explaining to do."

I spent time at the Grill for a few hours but I didn't approach anyone. Not even my sister and… Damon seems to be wrapped up in his own plans. I whipped my head when I heard the door open and saw the police carrying a woman delicately and knew by that moment the vampires are in deep trouble. But mostly Lexi.
I watch them approach Lexi and Damon and knew by that instant that trouble is coming. I followed Elena and Stefan as Lexi was taken outside and gasped at the sight once I reached them.
Damon staking Lexi. She was innocent in the whole thing and he killed her. I closed my eyes and let the tears out but I was careful to not let a sound out. I felt an arm wrap me in their embrace and knew that it was Stefan.

I walked up to Damon after his talk with the sheriff. He stopped in front of me and his eyes softened.
"Olivia," he began but I just slapped him across the face. Hard.
"You bastard," I whisper-yelled at him. "She was innocent."
"I had to get them to stop searching," Damon tried to reason, reaching out to me but I just slapped his hands away.
"Why should I believe that? You were just pretending you cared," I said and he didn't respond. I continued, "So what are you pretending you care about me?" His eyes widened.
"No! No, Olivia, you know that I care about you," he quickly said.
"I used to," I said despairingly and shook my head. "Now I'm not so sure."
With that said, I walked away from him. I heard him shout my name but I just kept walking away. Away from the man I love, the man I thought I could bear with, the man I could trust and believe with my very being but I was wrong. He was just a heartless bastard. Stefan was right as was Elena; Damon doesn't care about anyone. I would never forget the happy times we were together but I can't ignore his actions now because I was done. I was done with everything and only take control of my life once again.
I may have let Damon rule my life but I wasn't going to let him get to me. Not again.
