"He's gone Elena". She heard Caroline's faint voice through the door way as her doe brown eyes never left the sight of the picture she was holding in her hands. It was the picture of their first dance they did for the Miss Mystic Falls peagent. He had come for her rescue when his brother, Stefan had bailed on her. On that occasion he was wearing a black suit with a black tie and the moment she had seen him waiting downstairs to court her to the dance floor, she had felt butterflies in her stomach, her heart skipped a beat on seeing his gentle yet perfect smile as he held out his hand for her. Their eyes were locked as they danced in rhythm. They fitted perfectly together, in so many ways that it was impossible to describe. The way he looked at her, it was even clear in the picture, how much he loved her, how much his affections were for her. She was too late in understanding her feelings for him. She had lied to herself countless number of times that she didn't love him but deep down she knew the her true feelings for Damon. Only if she had accepted this truth earlier, then maybe things would have been different today, atleast she would have gotten a few more days to cherish the love they shared.
Her hands gripped the picture more tightly as she recalled the past events that had destroyed a single hope for their future. They both knew their love was intoxicating, it destroyed every other thing that came with it. They had tried to stay away from each other for this reason but the attraction they felt for each other overpowered every time they were in each other's presence. She had always felt the electric spark between them whenever his lips crushed against hers. Their bodies moulded perfectly into each other. Giving into their desires and the love they felt for each other, they finally had been together and this time they knew their was no looking back, this time it felt that the decision had been the perfect thing that they had agreed to. But things came crashing down when Damon's brother was killed. They had done everything in their power to bring him back from the other world. It was a different world where the supernatural creatures went after their death but their plan had miserably failed. Stefan was indeed back but this time it was Damon who got stuck in the other world.
"You lied to me Damon.." She mummered trying to fight back her tears but in vain.. "You said you'd come back." She said in between sobs as tears trickled down her cheeks. She let the harsh truth sink in, he was no longer coming back. Her heart ached for him, he was so close to her and the next moment they had been ripped apart from each other. The pain rippled through her heart which was too much to bear. She knew one thing, it was impossible to live without him. Her world seemed to have come to an absolute stop and she found no meaning in her life. He was the one person that made her feel so alive and now that person was gone...gone forever. She realised that she had lost her one true love. She stood up as she walked to his bed and slipped into the covers trying to feel his warmth but all she felt was icy coldness which pierced her heart and reminded her every time whay she had lost. She closed her eyes as she clung herself to the picture letting herself drift into oblivion.
