Hello Delena lovers! I thought I would start a Delena story since the finale is coming up! I know I'm praying she will finally reveal to Damon that she loves him. Regardless of what happens this will be completely 100% Delena goodness. Reviews and comments are loved, they make me want to keep writing! Anyways, this is just the prequel. Enjoy!
It came down to fear. Fear of finally doing what she wanted. She always thought before she acted. She didn't so irrational things. But he made her want to. He made her want to be a little more reckless, a little more passionate.
She wanted him, all of him. Everyone thought he was a monster, and hell at one point she did too. But through everything he had become something more to her. He had become her friend. She couldn't imagine life without him. He was impulsive and he wasn't afraid to be who he was with her. He let her see his dark side, something that Stefan never had. She didn't know how it would work, whatever this crazy and amazing thing that they had.
They fought constantly. They were both stubborn. But she wanted it too work so much. He said that humanity wasn't in him. But he was so wrong; occasionally he would let his walls come down. No more smirks, sarcasm and flirty remarks. It would be just him and all his vulnerability. And she would look in those eyes, the eyes that threatened to consume her. She saw desire, want and love. Love? Did he love her? She knew he did. When Damon loved someone it was with every fiber of his being. It was a powerful, all consuming love. Stefan's love had always been pure and sweet. Damon's love for her scared her sometimes. She wasn't sure if her love could ever measure up.
But she knew if she really let him in she would love him just as much, maybe even more. So yes, she loved him, despite the warnings of everyone around her. But somehow, whernever things started to progress into that next stage, the stage right before love; she always managed to screw it up. Say the wrong thing and he would lash out. That scared her because she knew it would kill her if she lost him. There was no point in denying it. She was in love with Damon Salvatore.
