I don't own the vampire diaries and I don't own the characters.
I don't own the song. Not every chapter will have one but some might.
This takes place after they find the cure and do the spell on Elena. I'm not sure if I'll continue it but I've had it stuck in my head for a while so why not give it a shot?
The main POV's will be Damon, Elena, and Stefan. You might get it from Jeremy or Caroline every now and then.
Enjoy.
Feedback is appreciated.
-Chasing Pavements-
Elena's POV
Damon. Where are you, Damon? I paced around his room for the billionth time that day looking for a clue that maybe I missed. I've looked everywhere. No note, not a single thing out of place. Everything is just like he left it. I woke up after Bonnie did the spell and I was disappointed to see Stefan. I knew immediately I was still a vampire, but I felt different, freer. "It's the sire bond. The cure must have only taken away the fact she was sired to Damon." Bonnie had said it. I remember getting up and searching everywhere for Damon.
I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong, I am right
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust
I know this is love
But, if I tell the world
I'll never say enough
'cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you
"Damon. I love you." I said it again to his empty room as I left to search the rest of the boarding house, again.
"Go home Elena. He's not coming back." Stefan. I tensed immediately. We haven't been getting along and it had a lot to with Damon. He needed to understand but every time I tried to explain it turned into a fight. There was still a Stefan shaped imprint next to the fireplace, and I'm sure that the Elena shaped imprint was still on the wall directly across from it.
"If you'd help me a little, maybe I'd get him home sooner. He never gave up looking for you, you know that."
"He left Elena! He doesn't want to be found. Give up! Move on!"
I turned to face him now. "No! I won't give up Stefan. I love him."
"Only because you were sired to him, do you not see that maybe, just maybe you still are?!" I could see the pain on his face mixed with hope.
"I'm not Stefan! I know I'm not! The sire bond is gone and I can think for myself. I always have thought for myself Stefan. I love Damon. I loved him when I was human and I still love him now. Can't we put this behind us? We both want him home." I was thrown towards a couch.
"I don't want him home Elena! I don't want to see you with him! I don't want to see him touch the woman I still love!"
I got up and threw him into his chair. "Then make a choice Stefan! Don't walk around here and hold out hope that I'll come back to you because I'm sorry but I won't. If you don't want to see me with Damon when he comes home; and yes I will find him and bring him home, then make the choice to leave." I turned on my heel and walked out the front door.
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasin' pavements
Even if it leads nowhere
I hated to fight with Stefan. He was the only one who still didn't believe that I love Damon. No one else was helping me find him but I was okay with that, they accepted that I love him and they still asked me if I had found him yet; even though I knew they didn't care. I needed Damon's help. I was still getting used to being a vampire. I could control the feeding and Jeremy and I had gotten closer now that he didn't have the urge to kill me all the time. But everything was still new, the speed, the hearing, the emotions, I felt like my world was crumbling and I needed Damon. He's always been the constant in my life, even when I was human. He was always there for me. "I promise you. I will never leave you again." That's what he'd said. He left anyways.
I walked in the house and it was too quiet. "Jer? Are you home?" I saw a note on the kitchen table with my name on.
ELENA-
WENT OUT OF TOWN WITH MATT.
BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
BRINGING A SURPRISE BACK.
YOU'LL LIKE IT, DON'T FREAK.
LOVE, JER
"A couple of days Jer? Honestly, where could you and Matt afford to fly off to for a couple of days?" Surprise. That's the word I was stuck on. Something was going on. If he had wanted to surprise me he could have bought me something in Mystic Falls, why go somewhere else. In a matter of seconds I was in his room. "Okay, Jer. You're hiding something. What is it?" I look through his entire desk and his old stoner hiding spots. Nothing. As I'm walking out his computer chimes, I instantly turn around. Elijah? It was an e-mail from Elijah. I opened it up and read it, if Jer was in trouble I had a right to know.
I sat there stunned. For the first time in a long time I was crying happy tears.
Jer had been looking for Damon since he left.
Jer had asked Elijah for help.
They found him, Damon Gilbert, he took my last name.
Elijah paid for Jer and Matt to go to Barbados to get him.
The surprise, was Damon.
For the first time in 3 months, 12 weeks, 90 days, I felt hope.
Maybe Damon still loved me. Maybe I didn't have to be alone for an eternity.
I build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waitin' as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally, could this be it
