Harley's pov

I watched as Elena ran to her car and driving away, I desperately wanted to go after her but I had promised Stefan I would stay hidden especially from Elena. Harley watched as Damon clenched his fist angrily before screaming out my name. "HARLEY!"I slowly walked out of the shadows, not wanting to argue with him since I was still so drained from becoming a vampire.

"Yes?" I asked, my voice soft and hesitant. Damon looked at me sadly, his eyes filling with tears. Usually, it would be at this time when the voices in my head would give me suggestions on what I should do, but now, I was totally alone. "What should we do, Damon?" he stared at me for a second before responding. "We have to find Stefan, not just for me but for Elena as well" I nodded "ok but how are we going to find him? I spent a lot of time with Klaus and he's very calculated and--

"Harley just breathe! You did stay with him which is why I need your help, you know Klaus better than anyone alive, so we need to stay calm and find him together" I nodded once again "ok, however I feel dry and I think I'm hungry or thirsty or something I don't know the proper words" Damon smiled at me and put his arms around my shoulders "come on I'll teach you how to hunt". I followed him but I still felt a little hesitant "what about Elena?" we walked down the stairs as he responded to me "I'm sure if we get Stefan back it will fix Elena" I nodded and then thought back to when he was on his deathbed "did you try to kiss Elena?" Damon looked away from me before responding "let's teach you how to hunt" I narrowed my eyes at him but followed him outside.

June 22, 2010

We haven't seen or heard from Stefan in a month which put a strain on my relationship with Damon due to his bad attitude so I moved out. I haven't seen anyone in a month except for the idiot boys I dress up for to kill them so I'm alone. Completely and utterly alone.

I dropped the diary and sighed, "Yeah, this isn't for me." I kicked the diary under my couch and grabbed the pizza box off my coffee table, taking a bite out of the cold pizza. Today was Elena's birthday, and she still didn't know I was alive. As I chewed the pizza, I couldn't help but think back to the last time I saw Elena. The pain in her eyes, the hopelessness. I wanted to reach out to her, to let her know I was still here, but I had promised Stefan I would stay hidden.

Now, with everything falling apart, I didn't know if revealing myself would help or make things worse. I stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the quiet street below. The isolation was suffocating, but it was safer this way. For them and for me. I glanced at my phone, tempted to call Damon, but I knew it would only lead to another argument. His anger was way too bad, and my patience was way too thin.

A sudden knock on the door broke my train of thought. I froze, my vampire senses kicking into high alert. No one knew I lived here, not even Damon. Slowly, I approached the door and peered through the peephole. To my surprise, it was Caroline. I hesitated for a moment before opening the door. "Caroline, what are you doing here?" I asked, trying to hide my surprise. She looked at me with a mixture of relief and determination.

"Harley, we need your help. Stefan is still missing, and we have a plan to find him. But we can't do it without you." I stepped aside to let her in, closing the door behind her. "How did you find me?" "Bonnie" she replied with a small smile. "Also, Elena... she misses you. We all do" Guilt washed over me. "I promised Stefan I would stay hidden, Caroline. I don't know if I can help." Caroline placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "I know it's been tough, but we need you. Stefan needs you and Elena... she needs to know you're alive. It's her birthday today, and she's been falling apart without you."
