You found me

I was sitting on a bench, in the park, seeing the world passing. It all seemed unreal, people busy with shopping, talking with each other and the clock was making that anoying sound, like it usually does. Everyone passes through me but no one really seems to realize I'm there. They look to my looking and go away. They don't care what is a teenage girl doing alone, sitting in a bench, in a very-cold day, and the snow burning her skin. I don't make a sound. People just see what they want to see. With that I say my looking my body, no one care about my soul.

Sky's colour changed, from a light-cold-blue, to a red-magenta and finally to indigo.

People stopped coming out and my phone buzzes. I imagine my parents are trying to tell me to go home and eat. I don't want to eat. They have to stop.

Someone sits next to me and I don't look, but I know I don't need to be scared, he won't hurt me.

" Hey." He says and his voice is broken, although he wants to make it sound confident. The bench is filled with snow and I wonder if I'm going to get cold and die, because I didn't bring a coat, gloves, scarf or a hood to protect me. The snow is beating my face and I wonder what have I done to make her so mad.

" Life sucks." I say.

" Life doesn't suck, people do." He says and that makes me turn my head to him. He is rather beautiful. His eyes are a pure-cold-blue and his lips are almost purple from the cold. He has messy dark hair and pale skin. He is probably an angel that will guide me to heaven. Isn't he?

" What do you see?" I ask.

" What do you mean?" He asks in the same tone.

" When you look at me what do you see?" I query.

" A girl." He answers and shrugs.

" Yeah, obviously. What else?" I don't know what made me so comfortable with the guy I mean I don't know him at all. " What do you see inside of me?"

" I see you are impatient, you pretend not to care, you want to be loved..."

" OKAY THAT'S ENOUGH!" I yell, angrily. " You don't know me, you idiot!"

" Well, that's what I call impatient." He says, sarcasm taking over his voice. " You are missunderstood, broken, although you smile everyday, you are confused. You love with all your heart and usually get hurt. You don't like this world and you're insecure."

I look at him, my head spinning. Tears stream down my face for the first time in front of anyone and he hugged me. He didn't know me, and I didn't know him, but we just stood there. I was embarassed, but I didn't pull away. I think it was the good in it. We didn't know each other, we didn't know each other's history or each other's mistakes. Maybe the timing wasn't perfect or maybe we were wrong, but I felt safe.

When I pulled away he looked at me. Not judging, not mentally taking a picture. Just looking.

" What's your name?" He asks, suddently.

I think about the question a bit, because my parents told me to never tell my name to a stranger. But what they don't know won't kill them, will it?

" Elena." I say, simply. Then I realize I'm being rude not asking back. " What is your name?"

He stays there a bit. He looks at me and at the empty street.

" Damon. I'm Damon Salvatore." He says and smiles at me. I smile back and he gets up.

" See you around, Elena." I nod and he goes away.

And I didn't know, but he changed my life and became my best friend at the instant.


Damon Salvatore sits on the edge of my bed and smirks at me. I smile at him. He makes me happy.

" Do you still remember the day we met?" I ask, quickly and then I sense him looking at me.

" Of course. You were so lonely." He mocks me and I punch his shoulder. He kisses my cheek. " I'm happy I met you." I giggle and blush, he makes me. He's my best friend since 6 months ago and he's so sweet and loving to me. He seems to see the world like I do. A lot of stupid people that claim to know about everything when they don't really know nothing.

" Me too. You became so much in so little time."

" Yeah, you too."

" Elena?"

" Yes?"

" Will we be friends forever?" I thought about it a little. It was sad we were never going to be more than friends.

" Maybe, who knows?" I ask him. His face falls and I kiss his cheek once again. " Damon?" I call him softly.

" Yes?" His voice hides hope.

" I want to be with you forever." He smiles and kisses my cheek.

"Me too, darling, me too."

My parents call us for dinner, they really like Damon because he is one of my only friends and stands by me with everything. Jeremy doesn't like him much because I'm his little sister and he thinks Damon and I are in love. I always answer that's a nonsense but what if?... No, Elena, He is your best friend. That's gross.

We dinner quietly and Damon leaves. The perfect evening, the perfect night. He hugs me tight and goes away.

And I know I love him. I just do. The problem is... Is he more than a friend?

" Mum, can I go to the party that is happening right now?" I ask. Damon will be there. He told me he would. I have to tell him I love him. I need to.

" No, honey, not tonight." My dad says.

" Why?" I ask, stubborn.

" Because it's late and we don't want you out there. You never liked parties, anyway." My mother says, smiling. I fold my arms.

" Whatever." I have a plan. A stupid, suicidal plan, but still.


I'm in the party, after I excaped home. My parents will kill me. I don't know where Damon is. This is too much people. I shouldn't have come.

It was nonsense.

I'm getting confused. My head is aching. I need a drink. A very strong one. My mum is calling me. I ignore it. Damon isn't here. Where is he? I need him. A bunch of boys are whisteling to me. I need to go home.

I call my mum. I beg her to come pick me up. I'm panicking. I don't like crouds. I never liked. I need Damon. I need him right now.

When my mum calls me back, saying she is here. I ran there and throw myself in the back seat. They don't seem upset. Good.

My dad is next to my mother. We talk about not important things.

It's the Wickery-Bridge. It's so scary at night. My dad looks to the side. A deer I think. When I realize he lost the control of the car. We're flying through the air.

I'm screaming. My mum is too.

We splash into the water. The doors are locked. We're going to drown.

Damon.

I need him.

Where is he? Why doesn't he come to save me like always? Why am I feeling this lost? This insecure?

I'm gonna die. I know I am. I'm ready. It's time. I need to go. Am I going to be happy in Heaven? Am I going to be with my parents. Jeremy. Poor Jer. He can't be alone in this world. Jenna will help him. I'm being selfish. I know it, but I do not stop it. I love him too much. My little brother.

My dad is mumbling us to stay calm. I start closing my eyes. Then the darkness.
