Prologue: "Nothing is Permanent"
Nothing will die;
All things will change
Thro' eternity.

A/N: New Story – have a lot of time on my hands and this meant new ideas as I wait for my laptop and documents to be backed up.

"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions…it's the time to make mistakes…Fall in love…Change your mind…nothing is permanent…So make as many mistakes as you can….That way, someday, when they ask again what we want… we won't have to guess. We'll know…"
Who would have thought that it would have been Jessica Stanley's words that would have become a mantra that was now embedded within my thoughts?
Ever since he walked into my life, these words had continuously been replayed in my apparently one-track mind. Suddenly becoming a constant reminder and all because of him.
…it's time to make mistakes….
He was dark, dangerous and everything that I was not.
He lied, he killed, he hurt others (including me), he was careless and ruthless but somehow, I found that exciting. Every moment spent with him, I felt adrenaline course through my iced veins. Every second that his skin brushed against mine or when my name left his lips - it electrified me – thrilled me.
Somehow, he awakened a part of me that I hadn't even realised was numb. He made me see the beauty in life that I had been blinded to and I knew this was only because I simply knew he part of my life.
…make hard and fast decisions…
It was because of this that I couldn't get him out of my head or my heart. This only proved that he controlled me – he owned me and I had only known him for four months.
Four months.
It was ridiculous!
Yes, he drove me crazy but he also made me feel different – invincible, powerful, stronger and significant. However, at the same time, he somehow obtained the power to make me feel weak...vulnerable and exposed at times.
He was a person of no bounds and because of that, I seemed to have gained the trait, where I felt myself lose control over myself and everything around me because all I saw was him.
…fall in love…
It seemed that whatever I did, I could never get away from – whatever this was.
…nothing is permanent….
There was just something about him; something about him that made my breath hitch and the air leave my lungs when he stepped into the room, something that made my heart race when he met my inquisitive gaze, and something that drew me to the darkness that he brought with him.
I wanted to not want him.
I wanted to not trust him.
I wanted to not care about him.
…mistakes…
I wanted – no – I needed to not love him.
….mistakes…fall in love…
Damn you Damon Salvatore.
