SUMMARY |

❝I'm hooked on all these feelings.❞

Erin Aoki-Fell lived with every sort of secret. 

Her first secret was herself. She didn't know who she was, or what she was, or whether she was alive. She always felt numb. Closed in.

Her second secret was her parents. She was the daughter of a woman who wanted nothing to do with her family, except their name. It was from old money, and old world, one that would bring every sort of fame to their family. She was the daughter of a man whose presence was a mystery to the small town of Mystic Falls. He was barely in the house, barely in the town, and his passport had seen more of his eyes than his family. A man with a few words, few writings and enjoyments scribbled in birthday cards and twenty dollar bills. They had seen more of him than her. She didn't blame him.

Her third secret was a perfect concealment. Erin did not say it. Erin did not think it. Erin did not put lyrics to its rhythm. It still played in the background, loud and clear.

Erin Aoki-Fell's third secret was Elena Gilbert. 

OTHERS |

Stevie is GAY.

In Erin's mind, she had been told that liking someone of the same sex was wrong. Liking a girl was wrong and sinful, and she would burn in Hell for it. But she couldn't help it. She found girls more attractive and more special than boys.

She kept that secret to herself and between the few dates she had out of town. Here's the thing with Erin: even though she kissed other girls, one of them would keep popping up in her mind—Elena Gilbert. 

In the summer of Freshman year, before they were Sophomores, Erin kissed Elena at a sleepover. The girl kissed back, hard and soft and almost wounding up on the sink of the bathroom. Both pulled away, surprised. Elena went back to the sleepover as if nothing happened, and Erin went home.

Ever since then, Erin knew that she liked Elena.

Even when she was with her on-and-off again boyfriend, Matt Donovan, Elena would find herself in the bathroom of whatever house with Erin Aoki-Fell between her legs and her lips against hers.  It was a strange feeling, but good. She liked her lips better than Matt's. 

After the death of Elena's parents, the girls no longer saw each other. Their secret relationship was off and their friendship basically became non-existent. 

It was how Elena Gilbert became Erin's secret. 

Erin doesn't know much about the supernatural until Klaus comes into town and almost kills her during Senior Prank Night. He's the first to realise that Erin has the hots for Elena, and vise-versa. He compels Erin and takes her with him, sort of as leverage. 

Erin takes a liking to Klaus, but only as friends. She tells him her secrets and he listens, a strange thing for the Hybrid to do. He was supposed to be Evil Incarnate, so why was he listening to the problems of a gay teenage girl? He sends her back to her house, and Elena is waiting, and they kiss, but they're still not together.

The story is based on Feelings by Hayley Kiyoko.
