The Battle Against Life

The end is only the start

------ 1 year later-------

Summer was over and sophomore year was about to start. I jumped out of bed and headed to the kitchen. I saw Jeremy eating a bowl of cereal and Aunt Jenna drinking her coffee. I grabbed bread and put it in the toaster. As the bread was toasting I tried making conversation with Jeremy. He's been acting out since our parents death. I never knew what he was gonna do next.

"He Jer, how are you?" I asked

"Like you care!" He responded with an angry tone as he walked off.

The toast finally finished. I grabbed it withy orange juice and started walking to school. On my way to school I started to think. Matt and I just broke up so I was afraid that things would be very weird. It hasn't even been a year since my parents died. I knew that when I went back people would be asking questions. I knew that I had to put on a big smile and pretend that everything was OK.Today was gonna be the longest day ever. I walk into the building with a perky (fake) smile. I met Bonnie at the lockers and we started to talk when Caroline came up to us.

"Oh my gosh Elena how are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine!" I answered.

As she walked away I just wanted to scream. I wasn't fine. My mind was

going to explode. I saw Jeremy walk into the bathroom with pill drops. I walked over to the bathroom and went inside.

"What do out think your doing!" I yelled.

"Its none of your business"

"Yes it is.Give it to me now."

He gave it to me as he walked out of the bathroom. I was loosing my head. I had no idea what i was gonna to with him. I rushed out of the guys bathroom and bumped into someone and nearly feel. He caught me at the right time. I looked in his eyes and said sorry. His eyes were light brown and they melted my heart. He was wearing a white shirt, black pants and a cute leather jacket. It was like when we looked at each other the whole world stopped. All of my thoughts and pain just dissapeared into thin air. I've never felt that way about any one. I got up and started to talk.

"I'm Elena" I said nervously.

"Hi I'm Stephan" He replied.

My heart was pounding in my chest. He looked at me and began to speak again.

"I'll see you around"

He past my and before I knew it the day was over. After school I went home and grabbed my diary. I started to write; Today wasn't the worst day. It was defiantly better than I thought it would be... I just laid there on my bed smiling, actuay looking forward to tomorrow.
