Hey guys! So this is my first time writing a fanfiction. This is a continuation of S5 episode 22. To keep you updated: Damon and Bonnie died as the other side imploded. Elena, Stefan, Caroline and Jeremy have to live their lives now without them.
I just hope you guys like it. This is a really short chapter. I will continue to write. Thank you guys!
"Hurry up baby, we're running out of time" - He said to me for the third time in the first 10 minutes.
"Just give me more five minutes" - I answered. It's my birthday today and I'm so happy I can have this time with Damon. Jeremy is always in the house and even though I love my brother I need this time alone with my boyfriend. Just us. Nobody else. No problems. I know he is pissed off at me but seriously this surprise is making me nervous. I have no idea what to wear. What if he takes me to a rock concert? No, I don't think Damon would do that. I laugh at the thought. But what if I'm not dressed properly? And what if..
Damon appeares in the bathroom two seconds later breaking my thoughts.
"why are you taking so long? Elena, we don't have much time."
I can tell that Damon is growing impatient.
"I want to look perfect, Damon! I have no idea what this surprise is but I really want to look nice. I know we're late but..."
"Baby, you would look perfect even if you were all dirty with moss" - He smirked at me with that beautiful smile that I've always loved even though I couldn't bring myself to admit it before. I love him with all my heart and I was so stupid for not...
"what are you thinking? is everything okay?" - He breaks my thoughts. Again.
"Yes, I was just thinking of how grateful I am for having you. I love you Damon" - I say it. And mean it. Every single word.
" I love you Elena" - He says - "Now let's go because I don't want the surprise to be ruined".
"Before we go, I just want to take a selfie with you. I want to remember this moment in the future" - I say while I take my phone out of the pocket.
"No way Elena! Babe I love you but I'm not in the mood to take a selfie" - He says - "Can we please go?"
"haha, c'mon Damon! You're never in the mood! Please just one? for me?" - I'm pretty sure I'm doing that face he never resists.
"Fine fine. Okay, just one" - He agrees. Clearly annoyed.
"SMILEEE!" - I say too loud.
The selfie is cute. He didn't smile. Instead he just made an 'annoyed face' while I put my biggest smile. Now, set on the lock screen or set on the main screen. I choose both. I can see he rolling his eyes.
I laugh nervously at him while he kisses me on the lips. So soft and warm. I wish I could stay in this moment forever.
"Elena!" - I'm confused. I don't know what's happening. "Elena!"
I finally open my eyes. I look around and my smile fades as I notice it was just a dream. Damon is not here. And we're not at our house. Instead I'm here with Caroline at the lake's house.
" I'm sorry I woke you up but you have been sleeping for hours. You have to react Elena. It's been four months. You have to live your life, you can't..."
I just stopped listening. As much as I love caroline's positive on everything I'm not in the mood right now. I've just had a flashback of one of the happiest times of my life. And now I'm standing here. Alone. Even though I'm here with my friends and my brother, I feel alone. Empty. I lost the love of my life. He's gone and right now I can't do anything about it.
"Elena! Hello?! Were you even listening to me?" - Caroline says. She seems pretty annoyed but I can see the worry in her eyes.
" umm... No, I'm sorry... I guess, I was just... thinking... of him. How much I miss him. And Bonnie. I need her so much right now. Caroline I don't think I can do this anymore. I'm so done. I feel so empty. Damon was the one who helped me, who understood me. He was there in Bonnie's funeral. In that night he just told me stories so I could fall asleep" - I smile at the tought - "One of the worst days of my life and yet Damon was there smiling and telling me everything was going to be okay. I believed him. But now?! How am I supposed to live my life without them? He is not here to tell me everything is gonna be okay! Neither is she! I can't Caroline, I just can't" - Before I can stop I'm already crying. Caroline is standing over me. Crying as well. I don't know why this had to happen. Why to me? Why to us?
"I just need some fresh air. Please don't come after me" - I say to Caroline and seconds later I'm already out.
Damon's POV.
I'm standing here. 'Here' is a place that I have no idea where it is and what the hell it is. I'm just standing here. And crying. Crying? Why the hell am I crying?! Oh yes! I haven't seen Elena for 140 days, 3670 hours, and 345500 minutes. Well, 345501 minutes from now. I miss her. I miss her so much. I miss the way she talks. The way she says everything is gonna be okay, that she forgives me for what I did. I miss the way she used to smile. I even miss those stupid selfies she wanted to take with me. I'm sobbing right now. I have to go back. Please God, just let me go back. I promised her. And I broke that promise. She probably hates me right now. No no, she would never hate me. Not now. She knows there was nothing I could do. I just need to see if she is okay but I don't know what the fuck I'm doing 'here' and what the hell this is.
"Damon? Is everything okay?" - Bonnie asks. Apparently she was 'here' the whole time. I didn't even notice.
"No! This is not okay damn it! Nothing of this is okay! I miss Elena more than I can put into words. I miss her so damn much! And right now there's nothing I can do to come back to her" - I scream. Really loud. I feel my heart racing and bleeding at the same time.
" I know that, Damon! I miss her too! And oh God, you have no idea how much I miss Jer too." - She is crying. Omg please don't cry.
I don't know what to do. She is crying and sobbing and all that shit and I have no idea of what to do. If it was Elena I would know what to do, but with bonnie? I just put my hand on her shoulder and I tell her we are coming back. No matter what it takes.
