endings.

It's over, but is it over for good? Should it be for good? Is it really gone? Cause when it's gone it's gone for good… (one-shot or not)

Hollow goodbyes

She was going to just keep walking and ignore this fool's calls. She would definitely blame her luck for having him following her now and to have to endure his lame and tiring questions.

"You know it's plain dumb to ignore me and speed walk, when you are perfectly aware that I can keep up your pace and won't leave you until I get what I want."

Damon was intrigued to say the least from this whole scene, he got to watch in secret, minutes ago. The little witch burying her grimoire. Something's wrong for sure,he thought. And what a bad timing, as always. Finally there weren't any other creatures of the night plaguing Mystic Falls. At least not now. Now everything was settled, well everything monster associated. Elena on the other hand,oh it was driving him insane, more insane actually. He had fought along with his brother, to save this town numerous times. The same town he would gladly watch it burn to the ground, only years ago. The brothers were constantly restoring and destroying their relationship. Katherine, their father and Elena weren't really helping. Damon's feeling of inferiority wasn't helping. So in these late years they would come closer, under grave circumstances and then all that would be swept away by their want of this particular person. And her, she was always in the center of some sort of supernatural mayhem, always having to spend time with one of them. Confusing herself, confusing them, ending up to a complex blur of sentiments. But it was time, time for the final end.

"You certainly have persistence, I'll give you that" Bonnie said breathing a little hard from her quick walk.

It was almost 10 minutes of him following her asking her things from time to time. She wouldn't even glance at him, she was hoping he would get bored but the little nosy eternal brat, was way too curious, to let her be. He on the other hand just wanted to know what the hell was going on, in order to act, solve whatever mess and then focus on more important matters. For Damon now, the twisted triangle better lose a vertice and he wasn't going to let another supernatural disaster, delay that.

"Tell me what is this fuss is all about, so we can get over with it?" Now almost 15 minutes of walking and Bonnie who was practically running in slow motion came to an abrupt stop and turned suddenly to face Damon. "Νothing, you incessant pesky mosquito" she exclaimed.

"Oh little witch you, of all people, know well that mosquito " he said air quoting, "isn't the best way to describe a feral creature, such as myself." He smirked, bringing his hand closer to her face." Cause that feral creature, might get upset" he continued while caressing Bonnie's cheek with his fingers, for one second until Bonnie quickly and graciously slapped his fingers away with her own.

"Save your boring speeches, for someone who gives a damn" she deadpanned getting away from him only to stop again and just turn her head back to glare at him stating that if he follows her more, she would forget a previous pact she made to herself and melt him down to the ground. She kept the pact part to herself.

It was past midnight and everything was ready. Everything she wanted to take with her was packed. Her previous meeting with Damon made her feel uneasy, she didn't want anyone to figure out she was leaving and if the nosy vampire didn't stop wondering why she buried her cookbook… Oh great now she was thinking using his lame words. She exhaled loudly and sat down to her bed, Ohh how his fingers had burned her face. "Shut Up Bonnie!" she said way too loud to herself.

"Wasn't I, too keen to keep my brain vessels intact, I would gladly say this to you myself, on numerous occasions over the past years, but you see now is quite different"

Bonnie let a small cry startled by the sudden appearance of the vampire stalker in her balcony

"What the hell ?..-" she said in a low voice surprised

"What are those bags doing on your floor Bonnie?" he said seriously, looking at her intensely.

"That's none of your business" she said getting up and coming closer to him in order to push him out. He wasn't going backwards though.

"Oh you see it is." he said in a sweet mocking way."What is this Bonnie, why the secrecy, I don't have time for this. Tell me what's going on, you know my patience runned out miles ago"

"I'm leaving" she looked away taking a tiny step back, she had come way too close.

"Where to?" he moved his face a bit down towards her

"None of your business."

He exhaled.

"I'm just leaving okay? Nothing to do with supernatural trouble, as I told you before". "So there's no business for you here, Bonne nuit, bye bye and get lost!" she said shoving him gently towards the balcony.

"When are you going back?" he kept his serious tone.

She looked down taking her hands slowly off his away from his chest and turning her back to him. Damon then realized it. A bitter feeling overwhelmed him for a second and he chose to ignore it. Instead he only let out a hollow laugh.

"You're going away, aren't you?!" Silence. "For good…" he continued emphasizing his last words.

It was such an oxymoron situation for him. Why now? After all these fights she gave to turn this hell hole into a peaceful place. Why get away? Wasn't this place good enough for her now or wasn't there anything left to fight for, so she just had to go? What on earth was she thinking?

"Why?" he asked in a demanding way.

"There's no why" she replied defeated.

He grabbed her by her shoulder and turned her so that she was again facing him.

"So you just go off on permanent vacation, is that what you're telling me?"

She just sighed defeated.

"You're gonna live your family and friends, to take off to somewhere, because I bet you don't even know where you're going"

"You don't-" she tried.

"You're being childish, what are you running from little Bonnie?"

"I'm not running away." She said firmly her temper starting to rise.

"Oh really, who are you trying to fool, Bons?"

"It's my right to do whatever the hell I want!" she replied angrily. She felt misjudged, why would he be so cruel, she just had to go, no reasons, she needed it. He of all people was always acting the way he wanted, not caring about the others, how could he judge her. "You do it all the time". She couldn't understand why he reacted in this angry way because he just couldn't accept that she wanted to go. Why wouldn't he accept it.

He was starting to lose it. Bonnie couldn't leave. This wasn't an option. Mystic Falls had a Bonnie Bennett and that was it. How was she even thinking that her absence would be an option. She had her place in this town. She couldn't do this to her friends. To Elena. Elena needed her. He needed her.

"No You CAN'T do this, you can't go, you can't do this to Elena." He said quickly and angrily not really thinking the words.

The sharp pain that he felt on his cheek was her modest answer. It was a subtle way of her expressing her answer which was; not everything is about Elena.

"Get the hell out of my house, Damon Salvatore!" she yelled steadily, trying not to show emotion, but her eyes were filled with tears ready to fall.

His eyes were also like this and it wasn't from the pain of the slap. Both of them would not shed a tear though. The atmosphere was electrified, Damon knew he didn't mean what he said. He valued Bonnie more. She wouldn't know. Even when he would tell her, she wouldn't accept it. Like when he told her, he wished her no harm .She wasn't hearing a word he was saying, ever. And now it was like he was verifying her beliefs. He couldn't handle this anymore. Since this is what she wanted and craved, he had to accept it. After all Bonnie deserved better, he truly believed that. After a long time of staring at each other, he just left.
