First of all, I want to thank the wonderful fans who read, favored, review, alerted my last one shot, I really appriciate you all.
Although I prefer writing one shots, a couple of readers have expressed that they would like to see a story with follow up chapters, which this one has. When you finish this chapter, let me know if this is a story you would like to read? If it is then I will continue and update it as much as I can because I'm studying as a full time degree student and working on the side.
If you do get bored, just let me know so I can pull the plugs and perhaps return to doing one shots. With that said, I will do my best to make this an enjoyable experience for you guys and if you have any suggestions they are welcome; I will try and incorporate them in the story if it fits the story-line. Thanks a mil for reading, don't hesitate to let me know what you think.
PS: If you feel the need to vent about the direction to which the TV show is leading Bonnie, feel free to vent here. I am fierce Bon/Kat lover, we can always rant together to ease the blow of neglect that they are putting her through each season.
I do not own Vampire diaries or recognized characters from the show/books, however, I may add my own original characters in the future. As always, if you like the story, I will gladly and humbly receive the props for that.
Promises to Immanuella
For the past eight years, a boy and a girl have lived across the street from one another, one bold, the other shy, one fearless, and the other timid. However, they have always had one thing in common, they both know that he would lay down his life for her, if he had to, he would kill for her because she was always the little girl who needed protection and he was always that boy who felt like her shield and not obligated to her. Perhaps he had loved her since he set eyes on her in the hospital nursery were they were placed side by side. Born on the same year, month, day, hour and minute, only separated by a second, they slept so peacefully, so silent, so still in their cute baby cradles.
The first time he saw a boy called William pull her hair in the kindergarten, he dragged the silly little boy all the way to the bathroom and dipped his head in pee, making him earn the name Pissy Willy from his mates because he smelt like urine when he came out of the bathroom. The first day of elementary school, when Miss. Popatus had yelled at her for scratching the girl Lucy who had put chewing gum in her hair, he puncture all of her tires and set her car on fire.
The first time she had run away from home, he hid her under his bed then he convinced her that her mummy could not be that bad so she went back home, promising to be a good girl as always.
The second time she ran away from home, she didn't search for him, he was so scared he thought he would perish if anything happened to her; he eventually found her in their secret hideout, an old tree house about a mile away from their houses, tired and hungry looking.
He snuck back home and made her peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with her favorite soda to wash it down. She sat up with her hands wrapped up around her legs; she smiled painfully at him, "Thank you boy." She always said boy because he was her favorite boy; she moved closer and pecked his pale cheeks, they turned red from almost blushing to death. Clouds of tears were beginning to gather around her florescent green eyes, she looked down and away from him and stared at her dirty toes instead, not wanting him to see her cry, boys hate it when girls cry.
He sat down on the floor of the tree house, lay down by her feet with his back against the floor, and looked up into her eyes. He could have sworn he felt a teardrop fall from her left eye into his right eye, he blinked then reached out to wipe her tears away but more of them slipped out with some heart breaking words.
"Paige is gonna have a new baby." She always called her mother by her first name, her mom hates it when she's called mom because she said it made her feel old.
"Okay." He nodded for her to continue but she stopped. He encouraged her, "I'm listening girl."
"She will never love me the way she loves this baby."
"You don't know that."
"Yes I do, she said so herself…. she won't buy me any toys."
"I'll buy you new toys."
"She said her baby is special and she would be prettier than I am."
"NO. You are special, you are smart, you are important and you are the prettiest girl in the world to me."
She choked slightly on her tears, "She has a new boyfriend and he doesn't treat me like a human being. He locked me in the basement yesterday without food or water; he didn't let me go potty. I wetted myself. He scares me…the way he looked at me yesterday…I had to run away when I finally got the window opened."
He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his phone.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Calling the cops." He answered.
"No. that's what he wants." she yelled and grabbed the phone from his hand. "They are gonna take me away to foster care Damon and I'll never see you again."
"ahhh." He let out an almost silent sigh, this was the first time he didn't know what to do.
"you wanna hear a short story?"
She nodded.
"There's a boy, who loves this girl, and he will do anything to protect her, I'm a boy who loves you and that's all that matters. Anytime you are in pain, just find me and I will give you the biggest hug ever."
"You are my sister, my friend for life. Even if no one wants you, I will never leave you, I will love you, forever and always."
She smiled wholeheartedly and questioned. "Promise?"
"Promise."
This is the story of a boy who loves a girl who will fall for his brother along the way.
When Damon Salvatore met Bonnie Immanuealla Bennett, he never thought that he would have to leave her.
(Thoughts from a broken heart)
We are young and weak
So when we hurt, we cry
Yet, we love others from a pure place
Nevertheless, it doesn't stop us from being breakable
Why?
Because we cannot protect ourselves against those who are supposed to protect us
Then we realize that the pain had just started
And the journey through hell may have just begun.
