I'm forgotten. No one had noticed me my whole life. When everyone's lives fell apart, including mine, I never went to anyone. Everyone assumed I was fine then went to my siblings. I suffered in silence, all because I didn't want to show weakness.

Then the car accident happened. I was with my parents picking up Elena from a friend's house. They were yelling and fighting. I stayed silent as per usual. Then our car swerved and we were heading off a bridge.

As soon as he hit the water I was flung forward. I saw we were sinking and knew I had to react fast. I unbuckled my seatbelts before I was submerged. I grabbed my phone and started swinging at the window. The car was sinking and I couldn't crack the window.

Then a man appeared and shattered my window. The car was submerged now and I swam to the service. I forced myself to float, knowing I couldn't swim to shore. Thirty minutes later a helicopter appeared above me. I was exhausted and they had to pull me from the water.

When everyone found out they all comforted Elena. Said they were sorry to Jeremy. No one was there for me. No one cared that I had just lost my parents. I don't matter to people. I never did.

That was until I met Damon Salvatore.
