Okay this is my first fan-fiction so please don't be mean. The story is like a retelling, starting from season one. some things are different like Elena and Caroline are in college already. This is mainly a Elena/Damon/Stefan story but will have other characters and some klaroline. I hope you like it please leave reviews and comments.

I hear my alarm going off, but I really don't want to get up. I want to dive back into oblivion, where nothing matters, where there aren't any problems. My parents aren't dead, and my auntie and uncle aren't trying to push me to be a model because they think that's all I could ever amount to. My brother isn't using drugs trying to ease the pain of them being gone. Its only been 3 months since they died, but to me and Jer it feels like yesterday. Lastly there is no ex-boyfriend trying to get back together with me by threatening any guy that comes within a 10 metre radius.

I wan't to go to my first day of college. Well I do, but i don't, if that makes any sense. I just don't think I can handle it; all the people; acting like nothings wrong. I don't want to be a model, I'm 19; I just want to go to college. Get some qualifications and do something meaningful with my life. I'm surprised they let me go in the frist place. I think they are hoping I'll drop out. They think just because I'm skinny, and beautiful (I don't really see it) that I can't be smart and have thoughts other than how I look or finding some rich guy to marry, just so he can buy me all the things I want but don't need. Just so in the end he cheats on me, we get divorced and I can take half his money. What a happy life (no).

I miss my brother being himself. Every now and then him will talk to me, saying he's okay; I know he's not, and neither am I. It's like he left and it devastates me every day not having him to talk to; I'm alone and don't know what to do about my auntie and uncle. He was my rock and now he barely talks to me . I'm so sick and tired of my ex-boyfriend, he is so selfish and self-centred. According to him if he can't have me, no one can, which means I can't even talk to guys, let alone go on a date without him scaring them off. I haven;t even been on a date since my parents died and he still feels the need to check up on me, to make sure I'm not dating anyone. I'm sick of my life and my problems, but like everyone I still have to get up in the morning. Ugh... I so don't want to, but I do, because I have to be downstairs for breakfast with my auntie and uncle before school.

Once I'm presentable, I head downstairs. I sit at the dining table, across from my auntie, who is sitting at my uncle's right, while I'm at his left, my uncle at the head of the table. Jeremy's not here like most days, probably out with his druggy friends. Of course, like always, they start talking about me becoming a model. Something about an opening at next month's fashion show for Vogue, because my dad helps organize the fashion shows, he gets a say as to who gets on the runway. Today I have finally decided to say something. I'm sick of them making decisions for me.

" John, Jenna, I do not want to do the fashion show," I manage to whisper with difficulty.

"What are you talking about honey, of course you do," my Jenna replies with a fake smile. Sometimes I think that she knows I don't want to be a model but then pretends she doesn't know because she knows John will say she is being irrational.

"No Jenna I don't!" I yelled back. As soon as I said it, I wished I could take it back. Jenna looked hurt that I yelled at her but I was more focused on John because he was mad.

" Elena! Do not yell at your auntie," John commands. I jumped a little when he raises is voice back at me. You think I would be used to it, as he always has when I don't live up to his standards.

"S-sorry," I stutter.

"Now you will do the show and I do not want to hear another word... Are we clear?"

"As crystal," I mumble back. He glares at me and says he has to go to work. Jenna soon follows and says goodbye then descends to the kitchen. I practically run back upstairs, grab my bag and try to get out the front door before my auntie sees me. Once I'm outside, I breathe in the fresh air. I get into my car, text Caroline saying I'll see her at school and head to the local library, to get reading done before school.

I enter the library and head straight to my usual spot. The corner furthest away from the door, up against a book shelf, where no one can see me. I pull the books in my bag out. Which are many different books, from law to chemistry. The book I start reading is about biology. I hear someone walking near me but I toss the thought aside, I've been coming to the library for months and sit in the same spot and no one has ever talked to me. I hear him cough quietly, possibly trying to get my attention, but I just ignore him.

"Excuse me," says a man. I realise that he wants me to move to get a book. I shuffle to the side a bit but only enough so he can fit between me and the wall, all the while not looking at him. The stranger crouches down to look at the books on the bottom self. I finally look at the man next to me. He is gorgeous!

Piercing blue eyes, which look like an endless, deep ocean. In his eyes you can see the boy; who could break or make your heart but you can also see a man. A man who would do anything for the people he loves. He has short raven black hair, which falls the tiniest bit over his eyes. Hair that any girl would want to touch. With a face of an angel. His jawline is perfect! With a capital P. Muscles, that just by looking at them you can tell that he's strong. Very strong. He's got a smirk plastered on his face.

After I finally finish looking him over, I realise that he is also staring back at me. We sit there for another minute or so just searching each other's eyes, until the mystery man finally says something. "Sorry... Hi, I'm Damon." He whispers, losing the smirk and replacing it with a smile. Slightly nervous I think. He extends his hand. Not losing eye contact.

"Hi," I smile a little, "I'm Elena." I shake his hand, feeling electricity run through my body at his touch we both immediately look away and take back our hands.

"Biology huh?" Damon says while looking at my book with a smirk. I don't answer; I just stare at him while thinking that this is the person who is going to help me with my parents death. Help me with my auntie and uncle and all my problems really. I don't know why I think this.

I just know.
