Runaway Gilbert

Chapter 1

I'd always been good at running away, when I was younger I would disappear for hours on end just wandering around town exploring with not a care in the world. It was the feeling of freedom that I craved and loved, but the one thing I was good at my parents and younger sister hated me for. My parents, I understood no parent would like to have their child randomly go missing, the first three times it happened they called the police they were so worried, but my sister I didn't understand my theory is she just doesn't like me the feelings are mutual. However, that disliking only intensified when our parents died. I know I shouldn't, but I blamed her for our parents death. It was cruel of me to think that, but to me it was the truth if Elena hadn't gone to the party then they would still be alive and I would be at home. I'd ran when I heard the news that Elena was in the hospital with Jeremy, I left. I remember crying constantly for the first few miles until it turned to hate and resentment.

Once I had left I found different ways to cope with it the drinking and sex helped, but it didn't make it go away. The next month I spent drinking my life away that was till I found Katherine. It was by chance that we met. I thought she was Elena and went up to her, but within seconds of talking to her I realised that she was everything Elena wasn't. We had fun together in one night. We grew closer then me and Elena ever had. She told me all about the originals and the Salvatore brothers and I told her everything about me granted there wasn't much to tell. For the first time I told someone the secret I was scared to admit, I was gay I had expected her to leave or be disgusted, but she accepted it. That same night she asked me to join her on the run saying she could use some company, we spent most of the time in houses with her compelling people to let us in and in bars until the day that she left, but we still kept in contact.

It had now been four months since I had left, but now it was time for me to come back.
