Music: 'the A team' by Ed Sheeran, you can read it listening this music...
"Your wife is dead," the secretary said entering the meeting room, she had run through the halls to announce the sad news to him opening the door and she could not help but to say it aloud. There was an awkward silence in the room.
"I realized ... continue the meeting" Damon said calmly, he did not flinch, no emotion passed His face. He just keeps talking figures of the week and year objectives to achieve. An associative with him was watching him with an apologetic air but he was concentrated in what he did. After the meeting, he went home in his big house and called the funeral home to take care of his wife's body, he had nothing to do, they took care of everything, all he had to do was to sign checks.
They lived together but did not share anything, they no longer ate together, they no longer slept together and they only saw each other in the big house. He sat on his bed and he turned his head toward the photo of Bonnie lying on the dresser, she was dressed in a tailored suit and her hair was pulled into a tight bun. She never failed him, it was long time that he no longer felt nothing for her. he had no time for her and she either.
When he lay down, he saw that there was a note on the pillow.
I do not feel good, my throat hurts, I went to the hospital.
I love you...
He held the note, reading it several times, she used to leave him notes on His bed to tell him she was leaving or that it would a late night in the office. She slept in the next room and in the morning, he always found the plate of pancakes she made, he loved pancakes before but he had no time to eat them.
Bonnie was 28 years old and he 32 years old, she headed a music conservatory and him a partner at a large multinational company. work took all their time and they became distant.
The next day, His colleagues presented their condolences to him and he thanked them barely, Damon didn't even feel concerned. He transferred any funds to Bennett's familly, they would not have to worry about money. Damon felt free of any constraint, he did not need her family to keep calling. He just wanted to move on from this life.
That night, he took the subway to go home, his business was only 2 stations from home so he preferred to take the subway to avoid traffic jams in New York. He was looking at his phone when a few things made him look up, he saw ... a girl with caramel skin, she looked to be 16 years and her long curly hair streaming down her back, she was wearing a short dungarees and a burgundy top, she wore a bag in which there was written "I rock my life" and she had headphones on.
She moved her head with a wanting smile, Damon could not help admiring her, it's like she captivated him that's all, around her everything faded, people ... the noise ... the speed of the car. His whole world was reduced to the girl before him, he unconsciously began to smile to himself by seeing how she mimed the lyrics. When the subway stopped in its station he turned his head a second to watch the door open, he then turned his head to the girl but she had disappeared, he looked frantically when she left but has not found her. He got out of the car and walked up to his building.
He returned to his apartment where no light was lit, he felt alone, but he had to work on a big project then he pushed his sadness away and he started on his desk to work. He looked from time to time to the wedding photo in His office, they looked so happy ... but this is the past. Bonnie died he should move on, he had to concentrate on what he considered important in life ... His work. Then he worked.
The next day he took the subway to go to work, he was about to check his appointments for the day on His phone and his heart started to beat fast without reason, he looked up and the same girl from yesterday was there ... not far from where he was, he could run to see her or talk to her but he was afraid she'd disappear again, he admired her, he admired everything about her. Her grace, her beauty, the sweetness of her features, the smile she made from some passing song she listened with her headphones. She was like a sun in His dull and monotonous life. A few seconds of peace and adoration he cherished. But it was enough that someone shakes, he cut his gaze to her yet she disappeared.
Every day was the same, as an angel of light sent to illuminate His Life, time seemed to stop when he saw her, the blue eyes of Damon stared at the small shape of the girl, there was nothing perverse, he could not help but to imagine him talk, just talk to her and laugh with her. each day she changed her bag and each bag had a funny quote above, he smiled whenever he was reading.
Each day, he saw her and His world was more scintillating true almost like the solution has a complicated formula. He was afraid to approach her; he was afraid to break the magic. The days passed quickly and months passed. He decided to talk to her, to go to her tonight it would be a big step.
His heart missed a beat, he looked up and he saw her. He shook His fists into a ball and he walked toward her, but she started to get closer to the door, he walked more fast by challenging people on the subway but as soon as the door opened, she ran into the station. Damon has also continued running, he ran faster than he could, he was not ... he could not live without the light that girl brings him while he ran after her. He came out of the station.
She stopped running and stopped near a tree, her back facing him, he saw that her long brown hair was on her back. He walked toward her fearfully. When he heard a voice ... a voice he knew well.
"Damon ..." said the girl and Damon froze, he thought it a dream may be hallucinating, this was impossible. And she turned around ... this green eyes, that mouth, that body, that voice ...
"It is impossible ... it can't be ..." he said in a trance and she smiled.
"I'm ... I'm Bonnie … BonBon ... I'm your wife," she said, smiling. That smile ... he remembered how not even his wife was ... he could not remember ...
She walked up to him to be in front of him, she looked at His face with love and compassion. She put her hand on His cheek and she caressed. He closed his eyes.
"Remember ... Remember our past Damon" she said and Damon had a flash of her past.
He saw himself with Bonnie in high school, he remembered this jumpsuit and her bag with funny quotes, he remembered her passion for music and all her follies. It appellate their crazy love, how they have graduated together, he remembered their first apartment, he remembered how he had trouble paying their debts and Damon combined the odd jobs, he remembered how Bonnie was. How happy he was with her, she was His sun after a day of work it was enough that he sees her smile, bringing light all around him.
He also recalled how he neglected her for his new job, he remembered how he changed when he got his promotion, how he decided to sleep in separate bedrooms because of her coughing at night too, how he came home late at night when he became a partner in his business. He remembered that she wanted to be with him, he recalled that she continued to prepare him pancakes every morning because she still loved him and she always loved him.
He recalled that he was her first love, her first sexually, her first in everything. She has known him and loved only him all her life. he remembered all her sacrifices and it made him selfish. He had not seen His wife die before His eyes, he did not care even while he was not there for her when she did. He remembered their love in high school, their madness, their disputes, sex sessions after disputes ... he remembered her ... Damon had even forgotten what it was like when he first saw Bonnie ... he had forgotten.
Damon had promised to make money, he promised that they would not miss anything, he had promised that nothing would change, he promised to love her no matter what he promised ... but failed and she died. She died alone in a hospital bed, she was buried alone with no one to cry for her.
Damon opened his eyes and His face was wet with tears, he wept and Bonnie wiped a tear with her thumb.
"I'm so so sorry ... Bonnie gives me another chance I beg you," he pleaded and Bonnie smiled too.
"Damon ..."
"Noo Noo, I'm sorry please forgive me," he said and the youngest form of Bonnie slowly transformed into that of his wife of 28 years. Bonnie had the same green eyes sparkling, her hair was shorter and her body was that of a woman.
"You are my Damon Salvatore and I love you for that ... but I have to go"
"Noo I beg you ... Bonbon" he cried...
"I love you," she whispered on His lips and she kissed him one last time before disappearing into the night.
