Her platinum blonde hair cascaded in ringlets around her heart shaped face, and the toilet she was currently hanging her head over. With tears in her baby blue eyes she held her stomach as she gasped for air in between her bouts of nausea. It had been four months since she found out she was pregnant. It was the scandal of the millennium in her hometown of Mystic Falls. She was Nevaeh Gilbert, older sister to Elena and Jeremy, and the towns shining star. They referred to her as the Mystic Falls Angel. She had been born with the most platinum blonde of hair, and the baby blue eyes that could penetrate your soul. But she was also the sweetest, most caring person. She would always be by her mom's side helping with community events and charities. She never partied until the end of her sophomore year. Her boyfriend Tyler Lockwood begged her to go to his end of the bash. She finally gave in. That night would never leave her mind. She and Elena had arrived, they split up to find their respective boyfriends. Nevaeh found Tyler in his room upset tears threatening to come out of those puppy dog eyes that never shed a tear in public. Nevaeh's heart ached for him. He was drunk and handsy and after awhile of talking she decided to give in and give herself to him. I mean they would be together forever right….
Wrenching again into the Elena Nevaehs younger by a year sister walked in and silently pulled Nevaehs blond locks away from her face as tears rolled down her face. Her family had been through way to much. When her parents and the Lockwoods found out about her pregnancy there was a war that almost erupted. The Lockwoods wanted to get rid of the issue, but her parents had stood proudly and strong with her choice to keep the baby. Tyler broke up with Nevaeh immediately, but checks started arriving addressed to Nevaeh for large amounts. Her parents has been furious with the Lockwoods for trying to pay Nevaeh for her silence. However after seeing how badly things were getting for her parents Nevaeh decided to keep the father a secret and let the Lockwoods continue their blissful little lives. A week after that her parents died. Elena had decided to go to a party in the woods instead of stay home for family night. Well she had called her parents a few hours later drunk to pick her up. Nevaeh had rode with them so she could be there to console her sister. Neither of the sisters remember much after that. They had been found on the shore bank unconscious. Nevaeh had been admitted to the hospital for farther observation due to the pregnancy, but Elena walked away with no injuries. It was a miracle. Since then the two sisters had become even closer if that were possible. The summer grieving process had been hard especially for Nevaeh, with how sensitive she was to everyone's feelings, but they had promised that the first day of school was a new beginning for them.
"Will you be able to do this sister? If not I will totally talk to the schoolboard myself." Elena asked her beautiful doe eyes looking over her older sister with concern. She held Nevaehs platinum blonde locks in one hand and started to rub her hand in a circle on her back which always soothed her. Nevaehs muscles relaxed as she smiled at her sister.
"I will be fine. We all will be fine! Can you bring me my outfit off my bed so I can take a shower and brush my teeth?" Nevaeh asked her sister as she pushed herself off the cold tiled floor and towards the shower. Elena reluctantly left her be as she turn the hot water on and let it cascade over her tense back. She heard the door open and her sister hang her outfit then click the door shut again. After twenty minutes of just pure steamy hot relaxation Nevaeh jumped out of the shower, brushed her teeth, and blow dried her platinum locks. She then looked over at her school outfit. Luckily she only had a small bump right now, no one would notice unless they were searching, so she could still fit in most of her normal clothes. She shimmied on her high wasted faded blue jean shorts, and a pink tank top with a flowy pink see through cover up shirt, and white strappy sandals. She let her platinum blonde hair frame her face as she put on her makeup. Finally satisfied with how she looks and how her baby bump is covered she grabbed her school bag and started downstairs where her aunt Jenna had just been reminded about her presentation she was late for.
" Ugh I'm horrible at this! Um will you be okay? Nevaeh good morning! Do you want me to drop you off at school?" Aunt Jenna frantically said turning around to see Nevaeh walk in concern in her eyes growing.
"We are find Aunt Jenna! Go! Bonnie is coming to pick us up any minute!" Elena said trying to calm our aunt down. And like clockwork there was a honk outside. Elena jumped up and grabbed her bag then looked up to Nevaeh.
"You go. I am going to walk!" I said smiling .
"But… "
"Elena, Jenna I am fine! Plus the doc said that exercise is good for me right now!" Reluctantly Elena left and Aunt Jenna ran up the stairs to get her presentation. Quickly before she could talk me into letting her give me a ride, I grabbed a bottle water, and started out the door. I love walking to school, this small town was surrounded by woods and nature. A few minutes down the road a bit I heard a caw. I looked over and saw black crow staring at me.
"Well hello there! What are you doing alone?" I started cooing walking towards the bird. I swear I saw it look down at my tummy cock its head then it flew away.
"Okay well that was weird. " I continued on my way to school a little freaked out by the crow encounter. When I got to parking lot of the school I took a deep breath as I braced myself, for the stares, the pointing, the whispers. I walked to the front doors already receiving stares and a few glares from the jocks at the basketball court. I continued in where the whispers got louder, and the pointing, and laughing. My head started to spin as rushed to get away, that's when I felt like I hit a brick wall. I looked up and stared into the most beautiful green eyes ever. I tried to regain control as I did a once over of this sandy haired god.
"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to run into you… literally." I said giving a slight smile.
"No worries, are you okay you look ill." The boy with concern and something else in his eyes.
"Oh yeah I'm okay, just a slight panic attack!" Nevaeh mentally slapped herself. Great this guy is going to think I am a completely pathetic weirdo.
"I'm Stefan, Salvatore." He said smiling holding out his hand.
"Hello Stefan, I'm Nevaeh Gilbert." I smiled shaking his cold hand. He gave me that look again that I could not decipher then looked down at stomach. My hand protectively went to cover my bump. I was about to say goodbye so I could get away from this very awkward situation, when the worst case scenario started to unfold before me. I heard my name as I let go of Stefan's hand, I looked up and let out a whimper. My body tensed as I maneuvered my books to cover my bump, as Tyler came forward with a very angry look in his eyes. When I tensed, Stefan's body visibly went stiff as the hand that I was previously shaking, was now gently scooting me behind him. Tyler's jaw clenched when he saw this new guy step between us, but only glanced at his hand placement for a moment before he stared at me.
"Nevaeh, can we talk… alone!" Tyler asked/demanded. Finally getting out of my stupor I gave Tyler a death glare.
"No. There is nothing to say. Besides I wouldn't have a conversation with you alone… it would probably intel me getting assinated somehow." I watched as hurt then anger went through Tylers eyes. I turned around trying to flee but Tyler reached out and grabbed my wrist hard. I could feel it breaking, then I was let go as Stefan grabbed him by the throat and slammed him against the wall, his feet dangling.
"Please stop! No more violence! Please!" I begged crying. Stefan looked at me glanced at my broke wrist, then at my bump. His eyes calmed as he turned back to Tyler.
"Leave her alone. You have hurt her enough." After he threatened Tyler he through him to the floor, then looked over at me. " Your wrist is broken. Let me take you to the hospital." He almost demanded as he helped me up and helped me position my wrist to where it would hurt less.
"You don't have too…"
"Come on. I parked by the front." Stefan stated as he ushered me towards where his car was. We drove in silence for a bit before He said anything.
"You know you having a very calming aura about you! I feel calm, and docile around you!" Stefan stated cautiously hoping to not creep me out. I laughed, knowing he was referring to my gifts, my parents had drilled it into me to never talk about, and to not try to strengthen them. But Stefan felt safe.
"I have that affect. My nickname is Angel, my parents named me Heaven backwards. I can feel others feelings, and can normally calm people down by being in their presence. It is a gift I suppose." Stefan smiled at me as I confided in him.
"Well Thank you for confiding in me! And thank you for the calming effect. I haven't felt this calm and in control of my… feelings… in a very long time." I was going to ask him what he meant but we arrived at the hospital.
" I have to say goodbye here. I can't do hospitals. Plus I need to get back to school and tell them office why you are missing your first day!" Before I could thank him he was off. I sighed as I walked in I saw the same crow from earlier staring at me. I shivered, this had been a weird day, and I felt like there was more to come.
