Losing Your Mind: Chapter 1

Dear Diary,

Hey it's me Mel, yeah yeah, you caught me. Im a hypocrite. But I promise you this is the last time I do this. My Step-parents bought me this diary because they thought I needed something to help me get through my parents death since I don't want their help. But this is my goodbye to you. I absolutely refuse to sit here day in and day out writing on a stupid crap piece of paper about my feelings.

Today I am going back to Mystic Falls where I'm going to be reunited with my friends. Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, Matty, Jeremy, and everyone else.I had left in the middle of the school year last year to go to my parents funeral and cope. I got put into the system before I could blink, which was so strange since I heard those things take months but whatever. Now I'm moving back to Mystic Falls, Virginia with this chick named Elisa and her husband Gerard. They are nice people I guess but they are not for me. That's why I told them I was leaving to Mystic Falls back home with or without them. As you can see they decided to vent and came as well. Finally I get to see my friends and go back to normal.

This... This isn't me. Writing in a journal to cope. This isn't what I do. I need to be with my friends and go back to my normal sarcastic, goofy, weird self. That's why I can't wait. Goodbye Diary and Misery! Mystic Falls Here I Come!

Sincerely, Mel

We pull up to my new house which isn't far from my old one and I put a smile on my face holding onto the fact that my friends will be here and they are the closest thing I have to family left seeing as I have no other family left. For the longest time it was just my mom and my dad, we were all we had now im all alone. But now that ive returned I refuse to fall and spiral like I did over the summer. I have my friends here and now I'll be fine. Just fine.

I smile to myself again remembering all the fun me and the girls used to have together as I got out the car but my thoughts were shattered as Elisa called to me, "Melanie, hunny please can you help us with the boxes?" She asked me politely I faked smiled to her and nodded nicely, "Sure thing Elisa." I said softly as I walked around the car to the U-Haul. It's not that I didn't like them it was just that them being here trying to be my parents irritated me and it reminded me all the time of what I had lost. What I didn't have anymore. I was thankful to them for taking me in but that was strictly it. I didn't have a relationship with them and I didn't want one. I just wanted to hurry up and finish school with my friends, go to college, and be as far from them as I could.

I sighed as I put down the last box in my room and turned around jumping when I saw my body wall mirror and my reflection. I laughed at my own stupidness. I put my hand on my hip as I looked at myself in the mirror. "Wow... I look a hot mess." I said to myself under my breath. My chestnut brown hair was in a high messy pony tail from sleeping in the car, I didn't put on any make up, my light hazel brown colored eyes searched my body noncaring seeing I was wearing a baggy off the shoulder sweatshirt with some jean shorts. I shrugged at myself with a lazy smirk not caring. I couldn't wait to pull pranks on Caroline or Tyler with Matty or Jeremy. I sighed in happiness.'Yup. I was gonna be alright. I'll get over this. I just need to be with my friends is all.' I thought to myself ressuringly.

"Mel! Dinner's ready!" Gerard called up the stairs. I nodded forgetting he couldn't see me then walked down stairs. I smiled a small smile to them and sat down seeing Elisa made lasagna I frown remembering my Mom's famous lasagna that tasted terrible and me and my father would secretly laugh but eat it anyways because we loved her and knew she tried.

My breath got shallow as I accidently opened a fresh wound. "Melanie? Hunny are you okay?" Elisa said panicked and worried she said something to upset me. I drew in a deep breath and shut my eyes rubbing them, "Y-Yeah, I.. I think I just got something in my eyes, haha." I said laughing it off. I smiled at them believably, "Nothin' to worry about Elisa. This looks great by the way." I said nicely. She smiled at me, "Well, Thanks Elisa." She replied. Gerard didn't falter since he sat down to eat ignoring the two of us. I started to eat silently used to the awkward silences between us. I looked up at Elisa once again noticing how her short pitch black hair fell to her shoulders contrasting against her pale white skin which brought out her big eyes she had a slender figure and I was once again questioning how she ended up with a stiff like Gerard. She was truly beautiful for her age which wasn't old 32 actually. Her husband Gerard on the other hand was pushing his 40s. He was a little on the heavy sidebut he wasn't exactly fat. He had dull dark brown eyes and a olive complexion.Brown hair and a bushy mustashe. I looked nothing like either of them which was good I didn't want people mistaking me for their child which was unlikely seeing as Mystic Falls was a small town so everyone knows me and my parents by now. I finish my plate getting up without a word then washing it off in the sink, drying it, then putting it up.

I muttered a goodnight and quickly pulled out an outfit for tomorrow seeing as I unpacked as fast as humanly possible so I didn't think. I didn't like to sit around and just think nowadays, it always led to tears and I was so sick of crying. I got in bed and turned off my lights, high school here I come.
