The Doppleganger Twins (TVD)

:-) Nikias' P.O.V. (-:

Dear whatever-you- are,

Today I will kick major butt in this Kin do match. The death of my parents will not interfere with my progress. I will help my little sister and brother. I WILL protect them. This I make a promise. I can't lose anyone I care about. It will surely break me if I do. Everyone asks if I'll be alright. It's getting boring saying 'yes I'm fine', or 'don't worry I'll live through it'. I was in the car and somehow ended up on the bridge we went flying off of. Sadly my parents weren't as lucky as I was, but I will smile and it will be believable. No one will stop time for me to deal with the pain in my chest.

I closed my "whatever it is" and got out of bed. Today I have a Kin do match to win. This was something that my father and I were looking forward to. Elena was always closer to our mother. We may look alike but we have almost nothing of the same interest. She is girly and "kind" while I'm boyish and "blunt" as everyone calls it. I only tell the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. Elena will tell you the same thing I did in a completely different way then I would. For example: if you ask "How do I look" I will say very good or put the fugly thing back, but Elena will tell you that the dress is "amazing" or just shake her head. She is way to kind for her own good.

I love Elena but she gets "cry-babyish" when something stressful happens. It was the same thing that happens every time. She has an emotional break down and starts crying. I ,being the older twin, care to much so I end up comforting her. I rarely show anyone my weaknesses. EVER. Not even to my dad or Matt. Matt is my best and only friend. Most people don't like my "views" on things. Its funny how people think I care what they think of me. Hehe yeah right.

After a 10 minute shower I got out and dried myself off. I walked over to my walk-in closet. If you haven't already noticed I'm somewhat edgy, so my closet has NOTHING pink. It reminds me of Pepdo, gross stuff. I pull out a black tank top and blood red skinny jeans with a pair of grey knee high converse. Elena and I both like our hair straight, but my hair is curled at the ends or in a high ponytail. I brushed my long dark brown hair and curl it. When I was done I went to Elena's room to see if she was awake. Her and Jer share a bathroom so she might have to use mine. I knock and heard a faint "come in", so I went in. Unlike my room, which is black with dark red paint splatters on the walls, Elena has cream colored walls. I like it but not very much its not my room so what's the point in voicing my thought on the matter?

Elena was sitting on her bed writing in her diary. "Hey, since your dressed you want to go to the Grill and get some breakfast?" I asked. She smiled and nodded. "Can we go after I finish this really quick?" she asked holding her diary up. "Sure. I'll be over in Jer's room." I said and left the room, closing the door behind me. I then went to Jeremy's room. I never have to knock on his door. Out of all 3 of us Jer and I are the closest. Most would think that just because me and Elena are twins would make us "best friends". Well that is totally inaccurate. Like I said before completely different personalities call for different mind sets.

I went into Jeremy's room and jumped on him bed. He, being the depressed teen he is, was smoking a joint. I understand he's hurt and I've even done the crap at some point after the accident, so I'm not gonna be all hypocritical. I got over that stage and I'm slowly helping him cope with the death. He doesn't light up until he gets hit by a harsh wave of memories. Everyone has their own ways of coping with pain. Elena, being the "golden child" has always yelled at Jeremy for his "smoking habit" as she calls it. I've even explained the reason why he does it to her. Guess what she did. Yelled at me for "supporting his problem" when I'm not. I just understand him more than she does. It's a good thing that it's the first day of summer break, or he would be completely out of it during school.

Jer turned towards me and lazily smirked."Hey Nik, waz up?" he asked. I smiled at him and nodded to his hand holding the burning joint. "Hey I'm good. Are the memories back?" I asked. "Yeah," he said. "they suck." I looked at my broken little brother and smiled a sad smile. He can't keep having these stupid memories come at him full force like this. They're gonna kill him. "Yeah monkey-butt. When your not being mentally attacked by your brain come to the Grill for breakfast, and no pills! Okay." I said taking the pill bottle from his hand. "Okay. No pills, I promise you." he said opening his drawer and pulling out a pill bottle he handed it to me. "Thank you for understanding me more than Elena." he said. I smiled " Your welcome, but I should be thanking you. Your always there for me when Elena isn't." I said truthfully. "Elena's got to be done by now so I'm gonna go. I'll see you when you sobered up okay." I said heading for door. We said our goodbyes and I went down stairs to the kitchen. Elena was sitting at the bar with a cup of coffee.

"You look good this morning. What's with the smile E?" I said using the nickname we gave each other when we were little. "Thank you. You know the new guy that came to school last month?" she asked. I searched my brain for the name he had given me. "Stefan. Right? Sooooo what'd he do?" I asked out of genuine curiosity. She smiled at me a so bright the sun is put to shame.

Poor sun you just got out shined by a smile that MY SISTER let loose. Sad to be you right now. "He ask me out yesterday." she squealed so loud that my ears felt like they're breeding. "OW! Remind me never to get you excited like that."

She did a weird giggle thing and got up. "Don't you have a Kin do match today? Where's your bag?" she asked looking around. "It's already in the car. Its been ready for the past 2 days. Come on let's go. I'll be late if we don't leave now." I said getting up from my seat across from her. Elena finished her coffee, put her cup in the sink and followed me out. I grabbed my black leather jacket that reaches the top of my stomach. Elena doesn't like it when I drive so she drove her car, and I took my precious Ducati. I LOVE my motorcycle. It is amazing. Jer came out and hopped on the back of my Ducati with his helmet, and put it on. I did the same.

Matt was at the bar cleaning a glass. I went over to him and sat down in front of him. "Hey Matty. You look like crap and a half." I said staring at the dark circles under his eyes. He must have been up with Vicki again. "Hey Nik. I was up with Vicki again. She came home pretty messed up." I knew it. "How are you this morning?" he asked avoiding the topic. "I'm good just waiting for Elena and her slow self to show up." I said looking at the door. Instead of Elena a really hot dark hair guy came in. His eyes are a piercing icy blue. His hair is a raven black that contrasts with his pale skin. He wore all black and was giving off a "I'm sexy and I know it vibe". It's very true, and I'm not gonna lie. He looked at me curiously. I wonder why.
