Happily Ever After (The Vampire Diaries)

I remember it like just yesterday. My car was out, so I had to ride the bus home. Being fifteen that pretty much bothered me. Driving was 'in' remember. I got off the bus, thinking what a relief it was to be home.

The door to my house was open, and that freaked me out. I came through the door just to see their bodies, the life sucked out of them. There necks each had two holes in them. I called 911, they asked me questions, and each time I would answer with an 'I don't know' or a head shake. I had so many feelings at once I felt like vomiting. 

I went to live with my aunt Is and uncle Ric. I was numb and bitter for a long time. They would try and help by saying things like, "They would want you to get on with your life," or "Ari, come on, your parents wouldn't want you to act like this." My full name was Ariann. Then I would respond, "If they did, why did they leave me?" 

And 

when I finally 

Start to 

feel better, 

Something happens. My aunt, she disappears, and when the dark comes back, I welcome it.

-Two years later-

I stand up and take a last look at my room, sighing shakily. I hear my uncle calling me from the other room. I was seventeen now. He comes in and looks at me.

"Ari, I know how it must feel, having to move after all ready enough bad things in your life, but I think this is better for me, fo-" I knew what was coming, and that wasn't true.

"No, We need to move on, not away." I blink back tears. They were the ones that helped me move on.

"I know. I think we both need to start new, though." he says with a small smile.

"Meet me in the car when your ready." I nod at him as he leaves the room. I look down and grab my necklace from the ground. It had a black square diamond in it. My parents left it for me in there will. It had a silver plate and had a black diamond middle. It had a symbol in the middle of it all that looked like a fire. I put it on my neck and walked out of my room, then out of the house, and into the car.

When I got into the car, my uncle looks at me, "You took long enough." He says sarcastically as he starts the car.

"You said when I'm ready." I roll my eyes playfully, lying my head on the seat.

I woke up with my uncle shaking me.

"That's harsh." I mumble and he looks at me weirdly, then shrugs it off

"What do you think?" He asks me. I look at him, then smile.

"I think it's cheap." I say acting snobby. Yep, I'm a snob. He sighs.

"I think it's the best one we can afford." He says and I nod.

"Yes, but it could have been red, instead of green." I eyed it.

"Green is good too." He says and I raise my eyebrows.

"Stop wasting your time and just agree with me." I glare. Yep. Snob. He opens the car door and gets out. I take a deep breath. I knew it was going to take a while to get used to this.

The next day, I woke up with the song 'Body Bag' by Hit The Lights. I smiled and turned it off, before walking to my closet. I put on a black tank top with skinny jeans and a low cut jean jacket. I threw a comb through my hair, and attempted to go downstairs. Attempted, I said. On the third or fourth stair, I tripped down the many stairs I had left. On the last stair, my uncle finally decides to meet me. I stand up and glare at him.

"Thanks for helping me." He looks at me and sighs, then shakes his head. I grab a cup of coffee and head out the door.

When I get to school, I find myself wanting to stay in the car and burry my face in a magazine. I open the door reluctantly and get out. When I look over I see someone staring at me. I glare at them and they look away quickly. I take a step through the door and into the school hallways. A blond girl walks up to me.

"You look lost." She smiles. I smile back lightly.

"Well... sorta." I said, and she chuckled. She looked like a person off of 'Bring It On.'

"Yeah, you're new, aren't you?" She laughs, and I give her a small nod.

"Very much." I smile.

"I assumed. I'm Caroline." she looks at me, with questioning eyes. As if to ask for my name.

"Ari." I grin. It was the first day of school, and I already had a friend.
