Well, I know I haven't been getting reviews, so I can only think that no
one has been reading my story. Well, this is the ending of book IV. I
still plan on writing the rest of my story even though it is taking some
time. It'll just continue here (as The Never Ending Triangle) as chapter
whatever. I don't mind that no one reviews, but it would be nice. So, in
support of my story I'm going to review myself cause I'm weird like that.
Well, here's the final chapter of my addition to book IV.
Chapter 6
Elena held back tears as she gave Meredith a hug. She couldn't believe that this would be the last time she would see her friends. It all seemed to happen so fast. One moment she arrived at Bonnie's house, the next they were chatting in their pajamas like old times, and now it was early the next morning and they were saying their goodbyes. Her friends have always been there for her, well with the exception of Caroline who was not at the party. Matt stopped by the night before to crash their party. Of course one boy taking on three girls he was easily defeated and thrown out the front door. Elena followed him to give him a kiss on the cheek and a gigantic bear hug. Matt was hands down the nicest guy she had ever encountered. He stuck with her through thick and thin, even when she really didn't deserve it. She would really miss him. She would miss all of her friends. It's so hard to say goodbye to the people who knew her so well.
Elena couldn't hold the tears back anymore and they flowed freely down her face. "I just." Elena was crying so hard that she couldn't get the words out. "I just want to thank you guys for everything." Elena opened up her right arm and grabbed Bonnie pulling her into the hug. "I'm just going to miss you guys so much."
"Elena, we'll always be here for you," Bonnie said surprisingly upbeat. "You have my phone number and address, feel free to call or write anytime."
Elena looked at Bonnie. Bonnie had grown and changed a lot in the past few years. Right now Bonnie was the only one /not/ crying. Bonnie was now the strong one; she had finally found her path. Elena was proud of Bonnie. She was proud of Meredith too. Meredith had opened herself up to the world. She no longer seemed cold and thoughtful. Meredith was open to learning about the world and look upon with hope and happiness. Silently Elena wondered what changes she would miss. She'd miss their weddings, the births of their children, the walk through life, all the things that friends /should/ be there for. Was this really the end?
They were standing in Bonnie's hallway. The girls' hearts stopped as a slight knock sounded on the door. The door opened slowly and Stefan stuck his head in the room. He had arrived about five minutes earlier but gave the girls some time to say their goodbyes. Now, their time was up. "We'd better go or else we'll miss our flight," Stefan said lightly.
Elena wiped away a tear. "Ok," Elena said with a heavy heart. "Bonnie I'll call you once we've gotten settled in. Then I'll give you my address and phone number in case either one of you needs me." Elena gave her friends one final hug, then walked to over to the door. Stefan grabbed her hand and led her outside the house to the car. Inside the car was the silhouette of Damon. She was surprised he hadn't chosen to meet them at the airport.
"Well, how was the slumber party?" Damon asked of course intrigued by the idea of the girls running around in their pajamas.
"It was happy and sad all at the same time," Elena told him as she buckled up her seatbelt. She looked through the window at her friends still in the doorway. She felt the car start, Elena sighed. Elena kept her eyes on her friends until they were out of sight.

/Flight 106 bound for Miami, Florida now boarding at Gate 7/. The announcement sounded over the airport. They had gotten caught in a little traffic on their way to the airport, so they weren't as early as they planned on being. Elena watched Damon go through the metal detectors, the alarm surprisingly didn't sound. She watched as he turned the corner and headed towards the terminal.
Elena turned to her husband and gave him a small peck on the cheek. "What was that for?" he asked playfully.
"That was for everything. Thanks for allowing Damon to come with us, it's the best for all of us."
"Yes, well we are brothers after all.how are you doing?" He looked at her carefully. She seemed happy, but was she really?
"I am surprisingly fine. I feel as though when I board that plane on chapter of my life will be over. It's sad to say that it's over, but I can't help but look forward to the future. I have my husband by my side and a brother on the other. I can't help but feel that from this point on everything is going to be better. Well, enough of the mushy stuff, we'd better get going before the plane leaves without us." Elena said the last sentence as she rushed through the security and headed around the corner in the same way Damon had.
Stefan followed her, but not so rushed. He took his time meeting up with Elena and Damon at the gate. They stood there, talking to each other. Maybe things will be different, better. He pulled the plane tickets from his coat pocket. Dividing the tickets among the three they walked up to the ticket taker, walked down the corridor and onto the plane. This certainly must be the end of the beginning.
