'Dear Diary,

Today was the day I've hoped would never come, the day we let Stefan go. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it's pretty clear that he won't be coming back and though it feels as if my heart has been shattered, I know it has to be even harder on Damon, I know he's seen his brother as the ripper but it has to be hard knowing the Stefan gave himself to Klaus to save him.

I wish I had been able to say some kind of goodbye but Klaus thought I was dead so I guess it was Stefan's way of trying to keep me safe. Sometimes I wonder if this would have happened if they had met me, Stefan would probably still have his humanity if he didn't know me.

I love him so much, I wish I knew how to help him but for now I have to say goodbye and let him go but maybe one day he'll come back to us'

I set my diary down beside me and pull the blanket tighter around me has I stare out the window, remembering the time I saw Stefan standing out there, with a heavy sigh I stood and walked up to my bedroom.

Placing my diary back in it's home in my drawer beside my bed, I climb under the covers and turn off the light, staring up at as the ceiling before sleep claimed me and I began to dream wonderful dreams of Stefan.
