First thought
Mystic fall, summer 2010
Bonnie Bennett was an eighteen year old high school graduate. She had green eyes that flecked with gold like the rarest emeralds with dark brown curly hair. She was a laid back causal chick who usually wore grey faded jeans with a tunic and who also enjoyed wearing earthy tones. That 2010 summer in Mystic falls, she had finally come back to her home town for good from completing the rest of her education in a high school in Salem, Massachusetts. She had left her childhood home after her dear, old grandmother Sheila Bennett had died from a devastating heart attack. Bonnie had only now returned leaving the friends she made behind and the one family member she knew. Her cousin Lucy, who had blessed her life in many ways and taught her things her Grams never got round to. Many times had she wanted to come back to mystic falls to visit her friend practically family who always welcomes her back with open arms every summer she returned.
That summer was different it was the summer she fell in love.
On the other side of mystic fall not too far from where Bonnie lived was twenty- two year old Italian born. Damon Salvatore. Damon had dark brown hair that passed his earlobes with made him quite the looker that was complimented with piercing light blue eyes that he had inherited from his mother.
Damon had moved from the warm clutches of Italy to the odd surroundings of Mystic falls after he and his younger brother Stefan had moved when he was barely ten, to live with he's uncle Zak after he's mother tragically died along with his father in a tragic car accident that tore their family apart. But Damon was now older and more mature, he was a twenty- two year old law student heading into his second year of university. His parents had always wanted him to go to Harvard since he has little, but he had settled for the local uni MFU Mystic falls university against his dead parent's wishes. He came from a well off wealthy background and had made permanent residence in the Salvatore mansion.
That summer was when his love affair started.
Chapter 1- 500 days of summer
"Hey, Cuz, somebody's got a letter from a secret admirer"
The said girl was sitting down at the table reading the latest issue of teen vogue which was her guilty pleasure, she looked up briefly from her juicy magazine.
"What Luc" Bonnie stated annoyed that her cousin had interrupted her from her magazine.
"You have a letter, from your secret, dark tall, handsome and mysterious Lover" Lucy repeated.
"How do you know its from my dark tall, handsome lover" Bonnie inquired.
"Because your forever talking about Damon and he's perfect blue eyes"
Bonnie looked at the letter puzzled and unsure whether to open it in front of Lucy or on her own somewhere peaceful and quiet, just her and the letter. she had decided she wanted to be alone when she opened it, so Bonnie got up and walked through the front door, out into the porch after saying a brief goodbye to Lucy. As she walked down the path and sidewalk to the local park she was bathed in the summer sun. She had stopped, once she had found an empty park bench in the shade of some old ancient tree's to hide from the rays of the park which was unusually quiet for the summer and this was good for Bonnie as she opened her letter with curiosity. The calmest of the swaying tree's helped.
Bonnie, I wanted you to know what the time we spent together meant to me. When I'm with you, I often wish I would be any one of the princes in any of the Disney movie's or like Noah from the notebook that didn't have no problem or trouble telling a beauty girl how much they adore and love to talk about to their friends or family. Or that magically feeling they get when they stare in to her emerald eyes. You told me you had never met anybody like me and I told you the same when we became friends and I knew you hoped we would become more but I shatter that dream when I told you I had a girlfriend. But in my heart you was the one I wanted to kiss. That late summer night when it rained I thought I was the luckiest man alive when we kissed, I know I had just broken up with my girlfriend but it felt right, we were fighting fierce attraction. I know people are always telling you your beautiful but I mean it you truly are.
I hope to see you again and I will never forget you perfect caramel face or your beautiful emerald eyes.
Damon
Bonnie's heart was racing and beating fast to a thousand drums she wasn't expecting a heart felt letter from Damon, from the first lines she realised that this was a special heartfelt letter. She had loved what had happened to them that summer but she never knew how Damon felt as he always locked part of himself away so this letter spoke his unspeakable words he had never been able to. Bonnie worried that her face was betraying her with unspeakable emotions as tears fell from her green hues, she wiped her eyes getting up from the old rusty park bench she had occupied, leaving the ancient tree's behind, she walking back down the same path, she had walked on to go back to her cousin Lucy.
