Hey guys,

I've lost all my stories from my other account, which was EmmaPay. I had that account for 3 years.  I'm super bummed. Then I got to thinking, maybe it's a chance to start new.
So here I am, starting new, making  new stories. I can't wait for this adventure..
I hope you guys like this story.
There's a couple things I want you guys to know before I begin writing the first chappie. I update usually when I feel like it. Or if I have sudden ideas, but I will try to update often though. I enjoy feedback. I love knowing that I can work even more on my writing. So guys, just comment; whether it just be what you liked, or didn't. I just enjoy knowing that people are reading my work.
   One last thing, the only character I own is Opal. I don't own any of the characters in TVD.
So without further ado, Chappie 1!

This is the part where you scroll down to continue...👇🏼


Chapter 1

Opals POV

My feet hit the pavement with hard slaps of my shoes. My music pumps in my ears as my legs stride. I've gotten up every morning right at 5 to go running; it's what dad and I use to do.
We'd go run a couple miles, and then stop at the Mystic Grill for breakfast.
  Sam Smith's voice rings through my ear buds. Stop thinking about dad. Stop thinking about mom. They're gone. I take a right, my feet leading me. My brain doesn't even have to register where it's going; my body just knows.
It's only been a little over four months, and everyone expects me to move on. Elena hasn't moved on. Jeremy sure as hell hasn't moved on. So why do I have to? Dad and I were so close, he was my best friend. I pump my arms harder, making my pace speed up.
My lungs contract and squeeze for air.
Running isn't going to solve you're problem. Nothing will. Why couldn't I of died? They should be here, not gone. 
My body collides with something hard. My eyes trail up from his black shoes all the way to his just as dark hair. I take my ear buds out. My heart is pounding rapidly against my chest.
   I stare; I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.
I quickly put my ear buds back in and continue on running. I don't speak much anymore. I just don't have a lot to say. I feel his eyes on me as I stop at the corner.
Taking a shaky breath, I turn around to see nothing. He's gone. Hmm...that's  weird. I shrug my shoulders and carry on my way.
As I take a left I see the Mystic Grill come into eyesight. A sad smile spreads across my lips. I miss you dad. 
  Walking inside I'm met with the aroma of breakfast. As I take a seat at the bar Matty comes up to me.
Elena and him dated; they were perfect together. Matt's like an older brother to me, better then Jeremy. He's into drugs right now, ever since mom and dad died.

"The usual Op?" He sends me a smile.
  I tap my finger onto my chin.

"Hmm... I think I'm gonna change it up." I tell him..

Mattys the only one I actually talk to. I dont even speak to Elena or Aunt Jenna. They're worried. Let them worry.

"Oh really now?" His frown turns upright. "So what will it be? The breakfast menu is all yours."

"I want one of everything." I close the menu and place it in front of me. A smile spread on my lips.

Matty has always understood me.  He gets me without me having to say anything. I wish he was my big brother instead of Jeremy. Matt's so gentle and kind.

"Seriously?" Matt says with a large smile.

"No, I was kidding. I'll just have waffles and eggs."

"Coming right up, Miss. Gilbert."  He shoots me a wink and hustles off to the kitchen.

I tap my fingers against the counter. Today's the first day of school. I'm debating if i want to go or not. I personally don't want to, but Elena will tell Aunt Jenna if I don't; so i better.

"Anything to drink?"
"Water."

He comes back with water and my food. I immediately dig in.
I rather have breakfast here then at home. Jennas always hustling around with her head cut off. I rather sit here; where it's quiet. I shovel my food in.

"Slow down Op. It's not going anywhere you know." Matt exclaims.

" I know." I tell him with a smile. "I'm late. I still gotta go home and shower." I explain.

"You better hurry then." Matt shoots me one of his teeth filled grins.

I finish my breakfast and hustle outta the grill. As I'm jogging down the sidewalk, I notice the same guy from earlier. Strange. I continue on my way; finally reaching the house. I jog up the steps and to inside. I notice everyone's gone. Good. I really didn't wanna go to school. Not today, not ever.
I go upstairs to the bathroom that Elena, Jer, and I share. Stripping off my sweaty clothes and into the shower. I quickly wash my body and hair. Once I'm finished, I wrap a towel around my body. Wondering to the room that Lena and I share; slipping on sweatpants and a t-shirt. Once I'm dressed I grab a pair of fuzzy socks and wonder downstairs.
Plopping down on the couch I put my socks on. Once I'm finished, I twiddle my thumbs. What to do? What to do?
Decided that I much rather lay in my bed, I make my way back upstairs, not before grabbing a pop and some chips.
Once in my bed, cuddled up I start my computer up. I type in my password and begin watching Netflix. Once statisfied with something, I open my drink and chips. Propped up on my backboard I focus on what I'm watching. I think about my parents all the time, once in a while I get to enjoy myself; rarely happens though. I feel my eyes getting heavy, I begin nodding off. I put my computer away along with the chips. I snuggle down into my comforter and drift into dreamland.

My dreams soon turn into nightmares.
