I just sorta got the idea for this one day, so I went with it. I know it's not that long, but it's all I got.

Can't believe that you're gone without a trace

I can't believe you got no tears upon your face

While mine is soaking wet

Making up for your lack I guess

That's how it is, in love, or out of love as I sit now

Without you next to me

Wishing things that just can't be

The Day Forever Died – Matt Wertz

What happened to their lives? They were the model for perfect relationships since the day they met, six years ago. In that time something went wrong. Something went terribly wrong.

Elena was still blaming herself. At the same time, Damon was still blaming himself. But the truth is it wasn't either one of their faults.

The incessant blaming was causing them to argue. It was harmless little arguments at first. Then it escalated.

Elena didn't see it coming. Never in a million years did she think this would happen. After all that they had been through, she thought he was supposed to be her rock. Damon thought it was necessary. But why?

Elena followed Damon out of their bedroom as he was rushing towards the front door.

"What do you mean you're leaving?" she asked as tears started to build up and threaten to fall from her eyes and on to her cheeks. When did her life become this? Her world had just flipped completely upside down and she had no idea why or how or when, for that matter.

Actually, she knew when. She knew exactly when. It just didn't make sense. Yes, couples have problems after something like that happens, but she thought they were above this. She thought they were stronger than this.

They needed each other. They were supposed to help each other through it, not just give up like this.

"Exactly that," Damon replied, the hostility and annoyance was evident in his voice. "I'm leaving!" he added, harshly. What happened to their lives? What happened to them? One day they were so in love and he believed that nothing and no one could ever change that and in the blink of an eye, they were like this? He didn't want this. Any of this. Well, at least not the way it was now.

"You can't leave!" she was sobbing now. Her eyes were puffy as if she'd been crying for days. But she hadn't. She'd been crying for five minutes. If that. Never, in the years that they'd been together, did she think this day would come.

"Oh yeah, watch me!" his voice was harsher than before. He'd never spoken to Elena this way. Well, his Elena, that is.

"I need you, Damon! You told me you would never leave. You promised me forever and if you walk out that door, you are walking out on forever!" She was yelling now. The last time she yelled at Damon was four years ago. She hated yelling at him. Why was he doing this to her?

"I'm sorry, Elena," he sighed. "I'm sorry. I guess today is the day our forever died then." He was starting to get teary eyed. He couldn't let her seem him weak like this.

He had his mind made up. He was leaving. Still unsure of how long he would be gone, but he was leaving. Damon needed to get out. He loved Elena Gilbert with everything that he was, but being around her the last six months just made him hurt. He couldn't look at Elena without seeing her.

"So, what? We have one little fight and you leave? Damon, that doesn't make any sense!" she tried to yell back at him, but her voice couldn't handle it. Her crying had made her incredibly hoarse.

"It was a lot more than just one little fight, Elena, and you know it!" he bit out. "That's the third fight we've had this week. Our lives have turned into nothing but a huge argument! It isn't fair to either of us for me to stay here." He could see how badly she was hurting. All he wanted to do was run over to her and wrap his arms around his wife and let her cry into his chest, but not this time. He would not let those doe eyes melt him.

"So that's it? After all that we've been through, after six years of marriage, you're just going to leave? I guess our relationship didn't mean as much to you as you said it did."

She couldn't have been more wrong.

"That's just it, Elena!" he yelled again. "It meant more. What we ar—what we were," he choked out, he didn't want to hurt her even more, "meant everything in the world to me. But that's gone. Okay? It's gone! I can't do this anymore." And with that he was gone. Out of the house, slamming the door behind him.

Did he really mean it? Was he really done? Was their life together really over after all these years? Their marriage? Their family?

He couldn't just leave. Not after what they went through. These are things you're supposed to work through together. Did he not get that? She couldn't do this on her own. She needed him more that they both realized.

Maybe it was her fault after all. She was the reason her husband left. She was the reason they lost one of the most important people in their lives.

Her worst fear was confirmed. Everything bad was her fault.

"I love you, Damon." Elena finally managed to whisper to herself once she heard his car drive off.

Elena sank down in the couch, crying. She didn't know what to do. What was the next move after the love of your life walks out on you?

Just then her only reason for life walked over at sat next to her. She laid her head on Elena's shoulder and whispered, "It's going to be okay, mom. We can get through this. We've done it before. We can do it again." Silent tears began to fall down her face.

Elena pulled the girl tighter in to her and looked down into the emerald eyes of the twelve year old sitting beside her and said, "Yes we will. Looks like it's just you and me, again, Vannah."

"Looks that way," Savannah replied back to her mother. "These Salvatore men sure know how to screw us over, don't they?" she said with a sad chuckle.

Like I said, it's really short. I would really appreciate it if you left a review. Just let me know what you think and if I should continue with it. Right now, I have the next 3 chapters written. They're all longer than this, so don't worry.

But yeah, review please?
