Damon was on his way toward Colorado, he figured if he used a car he might be able to catch up to Krystal, sooner or later she would have to pull into a hotel, she wouldn't try to drive all the way there without feeding and sleeping. His phone rang,
"Yeah," Damon answered,
"She just pulled over in Illinois, Edgewater, that's all of a location I can give you though," Bonnie explained.
"Thanks Bonnie," Damon sincerely,
"Good luck Damon," Bonnie hanging up. He put his phone in the seat next to him, he dug around and grabbed a blood bag out, he would keep his strength up, but he would also have to stop and sleep as well, he didn't know what they would be stepping in when they reached Colorado. If he was lucky she would go back to her parents house, but he also knew they would be sitting ducks in that house, he hoped Krystal knew what she was doing and not just flying into this blindly.
He turned on the radio, flipped through the channels until he heard a familiar song, it was the one playing at the boarding house when the stereo turned on by itself, he stopped flipping and listened to the words of the song.
I'm so stubborn
Its how I got here
So alone
Feels like forever
I wanna swim away
And breath in the open air
But I feel so afraid
Then I hear you say
Hang on
When the water is rising
Hang on
When the waves are crashing
Hang on
Just don't ever let go
Damon smirked, he thought it sounded like hope for those who were falling into suicide tendencies, but it wasn't that bad of a song, not like some music out there. Perhaps the song gave Krystal some hope that there was light at the end of this nightmare of a tunnel, such a tight tunnel, no way of turning around, it was do or die, and since he was getting closer to her he wasn't about to give up on her, or let her give up.
I'm so hungry
How can I stay here
Starving
For what I hold so dear
Like a hurricane
It takes everything from me
Wake me from this dream
He began to think of his life as a human, his father always favored Stefan because Stefan had never done any wrong in his father's eyes, unlike Damon, he was a disappointment to the name. Damon had gone MIA in war, which made his father disown him, but there were some vampires that had hunger for their human lives, they starved themselves dry wanting it back so badly, like Rose, he had felt so helpless that he couldn't save her, but he gave her back a few moments of being human in her worst time. He was starting feel emotions more, thanks to Elena and to this new vampire Krystal, they were making him feel more than necessary.
Hang on
When the water is rising
Hang on
When the waves are crashing
Hang on
Just don't ever let go
Hang on
When your barely breathing
Hang on
When your heart's still beating
Hang on
Just don't ever let go
He had never really wished to have his humanity back because the one person he loved and gave his life up for never loved him back, he and his brother had fought over the same woman, they had fought over the same woman until Krystal came into his life, but he still loved Elena and would still protect her the best he could.
Three days, thirty years
So hopeless
Doesn't matter
Don't say its too late
If you blink your eyes the sun is rising
The sun is rising
He still felt a little helpless when it came to protecting people he cared about, here he was chasing after one girl to keep her from walking right into hell's kitchen, and he barely even knew her, and he had to leave the other girl he had fallen so in love with behind, but she wasn't his to love, not until she told him that she wanted him and now that she was carrying his brother's baby there would never be a day that she would tell him that she wanted him.
Hang on
When the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on
Just don't ever let go
Hang on
When your barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on
Just don't ever let go
He felt as if he was drowning in this mess, just waves of problems popping up everywhere, and he was barely breathing because he was so torn of who to help, Elena had her friends and Stefan to help her through what she was going through, but Krystal had no one, she had her sister but she was trying to protect her, she had no one to help her to protect herself in this mess. His foot put more pressure on the gas pedal, panic was starting to set in. He called Caroline and talked to Cadence,
"I need you to text me the address of your parent's place in Colorado," Damon seriously, he hung up before his voice could give way, as a car headlight shined on his face, something gleamed in the light, Damon Salvatore was crying.
