Dear Diary,

Caroline is about to drag me somewhere away from Mystic Falls. That is probably the best thing, when it comes to the Salvatore brothers, I am unstable. I mean just seeing Damon shirtless just hours before had done something to me, I don't know what but I'm sure it's not a good thing. I can't get that image of his shirtless, half naked body out of my head. I need to get my mind off of things and a vacation is truly needed. Thank you Caroline.

Later that day…

Elena shut her journal, placing it into her duffel bag and zipped the bag shut. "Can we go now?" Caroline asked eagerly. "Yes, now we can go." Caroline squealed as she hefted Elena's bag over her shoulder and was out the door in a blink. Elena rolled her eyes as she shut the bedroom door behind her and descended the stairs. Caroline was already sitting in the car, Bonnie and Jeremy in the back seat. Elena climbed into the passenger seat as Caroline said, "Now we have to make one more stop and pick up our other human friend Matt." They drove down the road as they stopped at the Grill to find Matt waiting out front as he smiled lightly at Elena, "Hey 'Lena." Elena smiled, "Hi."

Matt climbed into the back after shoving his bag in the trunk with the others and then they were off once again. "So where are we going?" Elena asked as Caroline turned up the music, "You'll see."

A few hours later scenery was beginning to change to sand and palm trees. "Miami beach everyone." Caroline shouted as if she were a tour guide. "Miami?" Elena exclaimed. "No Elena, we just started planting palm trees in Virginia." "Care, did I ever tell you that you're sarcasm sucks." Bonnie mentioned from the back. Caroline rolled her eyes as she pulled into a parking space in a hotel's parking garage. Every one climbed out of the car and stepped out onto the pavement and grabbed their bags.

Bonnie and Jeremy walked hand in hand as Caroline was ahead of everyone as Matt and Elena were left in the dust. "So Elena, how are you doing? I mean how are you from the-"Elena broke him off, "No, we are not to mention the S and D word understand? We're going to act like normal eighteen year old idiots on Spring Break and get drunk and do stupid things that we'll grow to regret." Matt grinned, "Got it." He pretended to zip his mouth shut and throw away the key, "No S or D word shall be uttered." Elena giggled, just having fun and feeling carefree was something that she hadn't done in a long time.

Back in Mystic Falls…

Damon had known the second Elena was no longer in Virginia. His slammed down on the table, didn't she no better than to go off without his protection? Sure she had Blondie and Witchy, but no one could protect her like he could. "See you around Stef." He said snidely as he passed Stefan in the library, a suitcase in hand. "And where are you off to Damon?" Stefan asked, looking up at him from his place on the couch. Damon knew that he couldn't tell Stefan the truth; he would wind up following him. "Off to Italy; going to find some more mature girls that do know what they want." Stefan gritted his teeth and said, "Good riddance." Damon smirked, "Likewise brother." He climbed into his car and started off down the road, this would be an interesting vacation, and he might actually get to see the fun and wild side of Elena Gilbert.
