Hi, my name is Astrid and I'm a big fan of The Vampire Diaries. I thought of this story while I was trying to sleep, and I decided to write it. This is my first story so I'm kind of nervous but I hope that you give it a chance. I will star in season 3 but It will not be the same as in the chapters of the show. I'm gonna keep some stuff but I'm also goingo to change some scenes and details. Also, sorry if I make some grammar mistakes. I speak Spanish but I'm gonna try to make the less mistakes that I can.

Chapter 1 (season 3 episode 11)

My name is Jennifer, but they usually call me Jenn. I've lived in Mystic Falls my entire life,I've never travelled, well, actually that is because I don't have any money to travel with. My dad died when I was 9 and my mom couldn't take care of a child because she was just 25, so she decided to abandon me. She left me in the park and told me that I was big enough to take care of myself and that I will never see her again. I started crying and begged her to turned around and she left me there. Now I'm 17, I entered in school and payed my books by doing some things that I'm not proud of., but who cares. This is my last year.

I wake up and take a shower. ¡Great! I still have water. I have just moved to this house, it's old and ugly but no one will suspect that I live here and at least it has water and a roof.

"Hi snowball" I look at the skinny cat that lives with me "¿Are you hungry?" I see in my bagpack but I don't have any food left. I haven't eaten sin yestarday morning and I guess I will have to get some food.

I packed all my stuff just incase I don't return to this house and I go to school. I start walking to my classroom when I see Elena, Matt and Bonnie decorating Caroline's locker. I have never really talk to Elena but sometimes Matt and Bonnie talk to me and Caroline became my friend last year, we talk sometimes and I like her a lot. I enter the classroom and I see that I have history with Mr. Saltzman, he's cool and I learn a lot with him but he's also kind of weird and I have seen him many times in the bar of The Grill.

At lunch time I go to the cafeteria. Shit! Alison, Erica and Grace are there and I'm not in the mood of being bullied again. I turned around and I hit someone, I look up and see that It's Matt.

"Hi Jenn, ¿How are you?" He's so sweet ¡And that eyes! OMG

"Hi Matt, fine. I saw that you were decorating Caroline's locker"

"Uh, yes. Today's her birthday, but she didn't show up"

"Well If it was my birthday I wouldn't come to school either" I say and he laughs

"I think that we are going to throw her a little party just us, would you like to come?" he asks me

¿Is he asking me out?

"Sure, it would be nice. ¿Are you sure that Caroline is ok with it?"

"Well she doesn't know about the party but she considers you her friend, I'm sure it's fine" he smiles at me

"Ok, I will go to the Grill later and you tell me where the party is ¿ok?"

"Ok, see you later Jenn" he gives me a kiss on the cheek. I'm going to die

School ends and I'm walking in the park when I see The Salvatore brothers. Stefan is in my class so when he see's me he grins at me. He's older brother looks at me from head to toes and then he looks the other way. Ass. I'm going to enter to the Grill but Alison sees me. She, Erica and Grace get closer to me and pull me to an alley.

"I saw you talking to Matt at school" Alisons says to me

"He was just invinting me to Carolines's birthday"

"You will not go with him, ¿am I clear?"

"¿Why not? You're not the boss of me"

They pushed me against the wall and my head smashes against it.

"¿Do you want everyone to know your little secret?" Erica asks me

"it's a lie, not a secret" I yell at them

"¿Who do you think they will believe?" Grace asks me while she smiles at me

"Fine, I will not go" I whisper

"¿What did you say? I couldn't hear you" The bitch of Alison asks me again

"¡I won't go!" I yelled at them

"Fantastic" Alison grins and then they turned around- Bye whore- the say to me and then they leave

Don't cry. Never cry because of someone. That was a promise that I made to myself some years ago. Since then, I have never cried. I clean myself and I go to the Grill. I see Matt attending some tables and I wave to him. I sit at the bar and wait for him to come closer.

"Hi Jenn" he says

"Hi Matt. I'm sorry but I don't think I will be able to go to Caroline's birthday"

"¿Why? It will be fun, I promise that I can be fun"

I laughed at his comment. He's Matt, of course he can be funny.

"Yeah, but I have somethings to do. Sorry"

"Fine, Then I guess I will see you tomorrow"

"Sure. Have fun Matt, be the funny guy that I know you are" I joked

"I think that you're making fun of me" he says very serious

Shit! ¿was I too rude? He starts laughing. I hit him in the arm

"Asshole, I thought that you were mad with me"

"I could never be mad with you" he gives me a kiss in the cheek "Bye" he turns around and go to attend another table

¡Two kisses in the cheek! I'm the luckiest person alive, at least Alison didn't see me.

I walked out of the grill and go to a boutique, I have to get a present to Caroline. I check in my bag and I only have 10 dollars, originally I was going tu use them to buy some food. But Caroline has been very nice to me, and I can take another day without eating, I'm not that hungry. I visit all the boutiques and I finally found a necklace of 9 dollars that was beautiful. I bought some cookies in the supermarket with the dollar that I had left and I go to Caroline's house.

It's dark and I see Caroline's mother and Matt outside the house, they were talking with a man. I only see his back, but wow, he has a gorgeous back. The man enters to the house. I get closer to Caroline's window and I see her lying in her bed, she looks horrible, really sick. The man is talking with her and I try to listen what he says.

"I love birthdays" he says to Caroline while he plays with her bracelet

"Yeah, ¿Haven't you had like a billion or something?" Caroline says to him

¿A billion? He's like 24, he doesn't look old.

"You have to adjust your perception of time when you become a vampire, Caroline"

¿What? ¿A vampire? What the hell are they talking about... Shit! I couldn't hear what he said.

"No, I'm dying" Caroline answers

No, she can't be dying, she's my only friend. This is not true. I could feel how some teardrops started falling in my cheek .

"And I could let you, die. If that's what you want" He says to her and he sits on her bed

Don't let her die you asshole! This is too much... I take a step back and take a moment to try to understand what's happening. I calm down and I return to the window and I see the man bitting his wrist and giving Caroline his blood. This is some crazy shit. ¿Are they in a cult or something? ¡Why is he giving Caroline his blood! ¡Why is Caroline drinking his blood! and most important. ¿Why is she healing?

I close my eyes and when I opened them the man is gone. I look again and I only see Caroline sleeping. ¿Did I imagined everything? I take some steps back and I hit something, I turned around and there he is... And he is in front of me smiling. Now I could see how he looks like. He is tall with golden hair and blue eyes. He has some buttons of his shirt open and he has some necklaces.

"You know, in some cultures listening to other people conversations is rude, sweetheart" he says to me in a British accent

"I wasn't listening"

"I saw you, and you see, that's a problem because now you know that vampires exist and I can't handle that right now"

"¿Vampires?" I look to the ground "You have to be joking" I whisper

"I almost never joke sweetheart" he looks at me trying to intimidate me

"You don't scare me, even If you say that you're a vampire" I say to him trying to sound brave

"I can see that" he looks at me "Well, I don't think that you will be causing any trouble and today I'm in a helping mood so I won't compel you"

"Oh, thank you" I say sarcastic and he chuckles

"You're welcome sweetheart. I hope to see you soon" He disappears.

I leave Caroline's birthday present in her door with a note and I go to my house. ¿Vampires? ¿Seriously? But it might be true... Caroline healed when she drank that mans blood. ¡OMFG vampires are real! I enter to my house and I hear a noise. I take a rock and walk to my bedroom. I see a boy of 12 years old looking at me.

"¿Matthew? ¿What are you doing here? I told you to stay with the Thompson's"

"They were bad with me, sis" he says

I look at him and I realize how much I missed him.

"Come here" I say opening my arms

He runs to me and hugs me. "Never leave me again" he tells me

"Never"
