SUMMER WAS WHAT MATTERED : THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY !

name :  stefan  salvatore.  birthday:  november 1st, 2003.  age:  nineteen - twenty.  sexuality: bi-sexual. ( no preference )  hometown:  mystic  falls, virginia.  current location:  cousins beach. parents:  giuseppe & lilian salvatore.  (  both deceased ) siblings:  damon  salvatore.  faceclaim:  alex  fitzalan. 

lily  &  giuseppe  are  still  both  dead. lily  died  when  stefan  was  ten  years  old  due  to  having  a  terminal  illness.  stefan  was  extremely  close  to  her,  it  caused  a  huge  shift  in  his  personality.  he  became  quieter  &  less  lively  as  he  was  before.  he  was  still  a  good  kid,  just  much  more  reserved. 

only  having  his  dad  left  as  a  parent  didn't  help,  gisueppe  was  never  the  best  father.  he  was  too  hard  on  his  brother  &  himself,  putting  too  much  pressure  &  responsibility  on  stefan's  shoulders  for  someone  so  young.   he  was  abusive,  physically  &  mentally  to  both  brothers.  while  damon  often  took  most  of  the  physical  abuse  to  protect  stefan, he  still  got  some  of  it.  especially  when  damon  was  gone  or  gisueppe  was  drunk.

gisueppe  died  a  couple  months  after  stefan  turned  seventeen  in  a  car accident.  while  stefan  was  hurt  from  his  father's  death,  he  did  feel  some  sort  of  relief.  (  which  made  him  feel  guilty  )  he  felt  relief  that  him  &  his  brother  would  no  longer  suffer  by  his  hands  &  words.   with  both  of  their  parents  dead  &  stefan  being  a  minor  he  was  left  under  the  custody  of  their  uncle  zach,  zach moved  into  the  salvatore  home  to  help  the  brothers  out.  

since  the  salvatores  are  a  pretty  wealthy  family,  they  were  able  to  buy  a  summer  house  at cousins beach.  every  summer  since  stefan  was  a  kid,  the  four  of  them  would  spend  the  whole  summer  there.  once lily died,  they  skipped  going  for  a  few  summers  because  it  wouldn't  be  the  same  without  her.  eventually  they  ended  up  going  back  yearly.  by  the  time  they  started  going  back,   stefan  was  fourteen  &  they've  been  back  every  summer  since.  

when  gisueppe  died  two  years  ago,  he  left  the  house  in  damon's  name.  so  now,  it's  just  the  two  brothers  spending  their  summer's  at their  house  in  cousins,  with  the  occasional  visit  from  their  uncle  zach. 

stefan  met  caroline  forbes  when  he  was  just  a  kid  going  to  the  beach house  &  she  quickly  became  his  best  friend  &  the  only  friend  from  summer  that  he  kept  in  contact  with  all  year  long.  

 while  in  most  verses,  stefan &  damon's  relationships  is  rather  complicated  ( to  say  the  least  )  in  this  one  it's  pretty  normal  &  they  are  actually  pretty  close.  without  the  centuries  of  torture  &  supernatural  world,  there's  no  real  reason  for  the  two  to  have  a  strained  relationship,  especially  when  they  had  to  protect  each  other  from  their  father  &  mourn  the  loss  of  their  mother.   for  my  backstory,  damon,  in  this  verse  is  twenty -  seven  &  not  at  all  like  the  monster  of  a  vampire  the  damon  we  all  know  from  the  vampire  diaries.  he's  more  so  like  the  human  version  we  see  of  him  back  in  1864,  minus  katherine,  of  course.  he's  just  a  big  brother  who  is  the  only  person  in  stefan's  family  who  would  quite  literally  do  anything  for  him.

caroline grew up spending her summers in cousins, building sandcastles with her father and sipping on lemonades with her mother. when she wasn't around her parents, she was seen hanging out with her childhood best friend - whom she'd befriended when she was little -, stefan salvatore. the blonde-haired girl had picture-perfect summers until she didn't. when she was only eleven, shortly after the forbes went back to their hometown, she got the news that her parents were divorcing. it caught her completely off guard, as the adults managed to keep their arguments behind the closed door of their bedroom, and screaming matches when caroline was away at school or cheer camp.

when it came time to choose who she wanted to live with, caroline didn't think twice before picking her dad. the two had always been close, and it was a no-brainer for the pre-teen. however, that meant that summers in cousins were a thing of the past. that caroline was a thing of the past. letting go was hard, especially when she didn't even have a way to explain to her friends why she wasn't coming back next summer, or a phone to keep in touch despite the distance.

years passed and she moved on. caroline settled in her new school; made new friends and even got a boyfriend. she joined the cheerleading squad and soon became captain. life was perfect again. until it wasn't... again. her dad got a boyfriend. said boyfriend had a daughter who was a total nightmare; the two girls couldn't agree to anything and more often enough there were screaming matches that started because of missing shirts and misplaced nail polishes.

at sixteen, caroline found herself moving back with her mother. there was an awkward tension whenever they were in the same room for months following caroline's arrival. the two didn't know how to act around each other anymore, and it was painfully obvious to anyone with a working pair of eyes.

things would soon change, however, when liz informed caroline she'd gotten a job offer. to be the chief of police in cousins. before she knew what was happening, mother and daughter were packing up their belongings and moving to the place caroline longed to spend her summers in since she was eleven. and this time, she wouldn't have to say goodbye when summer was over.
