Old version of Chapter 1

How the hell did my life turn out this way? Alone most days. Most nights not being able to sleep due to the sound of my mother fucking yet another random guy in the next room. The loneliness nearly consuming me whole. Self-inflicted scars up and down each of my wrists.

But I smile so I must be okay, right? At least that's what everyone says.

I'm Ivy Danielle Ross, a human girl, and this is the story of how my heart broke... again.

I do not own any of the characters from The Vampire Diaries or The Originals, sadly. The only characters I own are the ones that I have made up such as Ivy. This story will be very sad at points.
