Hey everybody. This is a Vampire Diaries Fanfiction I have started. I have written out the Prologue and four chapters so far. I do not own this show. Anything that you recognize is not mine.
Prologue
The Gilbert family – to the outside world seemed absolutely perfect. Grayson was a very well-known doctor in the small town of Mystic Falls. Miranda was an active member of the little society the wives created. The eldest child, Elena Gilbert, was the perfect goody two shoes of the family. She always got what she wanted even if she had to hurt her siblings to get it, especially Jessica. The middle child was Jeremy Gilbert. He had a creative side and loved to draw and paint. He seemed to have a lot of friends due to the fact that more often than not he hung out with Elena. Finally, the youngest child was Jessica Gilbert. She was quiet and often kept to herself because the things that she liked were not things Elena wanted to associate with. Jessica preferred darker clothes and chains over shorts and a tank top. She preferred keeping her hair in its natural curly state like her sister. Jessica always felt second best to her sister. No matter what Jessica did, Elena would find a way to do it better or take what she had done. For example, when Jessica told Elena she had feelings for Matt Donavan while Elena and Matt were finishing their 8th grade year, Elena quickly made a move to start dating Matt when they started as freshmen in High school while Jessica was in 7th grade. Elena even went as far as to force Jessica to stop talking with both Matt and Vicki. Another incident was when Jessica expressed interest in joining cheerleading as a 6th grader, but when Elena also joined the middle school team, Elena quickly got everyone's attention causing Jessica to doubt herself to the point where she quit the team.
Over the years, Jessica slowly began to resent Elena. That resentment grew so much that the night of the accident was the straw that broke her back. Her resentment had gotten to the point where she hated Elena now because Elena – who was a selfish brat – had snuck out to go to a party only to break up with Matt. Then when their parents went to pick her up, they ended up getting driven off Wickery Bridge, and the only one who survived was Elena. It was then that Jessica reached out to Zach Salvatore to have him teach her about the history of the town and the different societies her mother had been a part of as Miranda and Grayson specifically named her to take Grayson's place on the council as well as Miranda's place for the historical society and the fundraisers that always went on when she became of age. From May 2009 to September 2009, Jessica was almost always at Zach's home and even met one of his nephews, Stefan, until she learned the truth.
Jessica discovered Stefan was a vampire but still saw him as a close friend. She had even begun to develop feelings for him, but about two months into them knowing each other, Jessica noticed that Stefan seemed to ask about how Elena was doing and how she was coping. Jessica soon realized that while she had grown feelings for the vampire, he was in love with her sister somehow even though they hadn't met.
That was the day Jessica realized she would never be enough for him or anyone really because they would always want her sister over her. That was the day that she truly understood why she hated any attention she ever got…especially when she died... Jessica Gilbert died at 15 years old and became a vampire all because of her older sister, Elena Gilbert.
There is the prologue. I will try to upload Chapters 1 and 2 in the next few days.
