Mistaken Identities

~_~Author's Note~_~

Hey guys,

Illness is your best friend at this moment, gives me more time to write.

So erm, yeah.

Thank you to XDMidnightDancerXD and Ari_001 for helping me all along this story. I'm a sucky writer, but these guys are so awesome they helped me out a bunch of times.

I need your help though. Do you think I should do a prequel and/or sequel to this story? If so, which should I do first?
Comment below in answer.

Please Comment, Vote and Fan!

Much <3,

Elena's P.O.V

Today is not one of the best days of my life. Today is Vicki's funeral and I have been roped in to make a speech. Because I was credited as finding her body. It seems unnatural to say 'her body'. Not too long ago we were performing at Bree's and she was happy.

Thing is I didn't know if I could give the speech without crying. I'd cried all night, and all morning. The worse part is I couldn't tell when I stopped crying over Vicki and started bawling over Stefan. Two different hurts in one day, it must be a personal record for me.

Matt is a mess, and I spent the whole of yesterday holding him and telling him it was going to be okay. Of course, he didn't believe me, I mean I didn't believe myself. It was weird though, holding Matt, rocking him back and forth while he wept, when only a day before I was in the same position with his dead sister. It tore me in two watching as Matt broke down, he'd always been my rock. When I cut my knee when we were five he'd pull me up and wipe off the dirt, hugging me when I cried and he's always been the same. When my parents died he was the first person to visit, and he stayed the whole day as I cried in his arms. Matt was sort of a safety net, the friend I go to when I'm in trouble.

So here I was. Dressed in a cute, black mini-dress and a black tailored jacket standing in front of the whole town and shaking like a leaf.

"Vicki Donovan knew how to make you laugh. If there's one thing you could always count on Vicki for it was a fun time. But there was always more to her than the fun-loving party girl. There was always more to her than the trouble she sometimes got herself into," I paused. I wiped my eye of the fresh tear, and cleared my throat. This was so much harder than it looks. Stefan looked up at me, with the same worried expression as usual, and I quickly averted my eyes.

"Vicki was always a caring person, so loving and warm. She was there for me when I needed her, every time. I remember at Vicki's eighteenth birthday party, we were soooo drunk. She walked me to her place so I wouldn't get in trouble with Jenna, and I felt so bad and she actually tucked me up in her bed, and yelled at Matt because I didn't want him to see me throw up." I chuckled along with Damon, who didn't look odd at all in his all black tux. I had forced him into it, with him moaning and whining, but as usual I won.

"Vicki had her ups and downs, but who hasn't? I have had too many bad things in my life you couldn't count them on fifty peoples hands. But Vicki somehow managed to keep herself smiling, when so many people myself included, would have given up. Vicki was a good friend, a great daughter to her mom, but most of all she was an incredible sister to Matt. I'm certain that if she had had the chance to tell him, she would have told him how much he meant to her," I smiled weakly at Matt, who had tears rolling down his face.

"I know for a fact that she loved Matty with all her heart, because she once told me that if he left she'd be lost, that what little good in her life would be lost. Vicki lived on this earth for nineteen years, too short a time, but she blessed so many lives and made them better. Matt's, my brother's, and mine. Without her...I don't know how...how I'm going to get through..." I stopped speaking in coherent sentences and started crying. Matt immediately jumped to his feet, followed by Jeremy, Jenna (who made a miraculous recovery via Damon's vamp blood no doubt), Rick, Damon and Stefan. I pushed them all away, though. I didn't want comforting.
