I watched her as she slept. Sitting on the edge of her window. I'd been around for months debating on whether or not to make my presence known. And each time I would I'd end up not seeing her. I turned and flew off as the dawn was breaking. Might as well go find breakfast I thought to myself.

The alarm stared buzzing. I waved my arm around to try and turn it off. Instead I just pushed it off the end table letting it hit the floor. Sitting up I pulled my hand through my hair. My curls had gotten longer being I hadn't bothered to get my perm redone. Many of my friends said I shouldn't bother because the long curls make me look amazing. So I didn't bother.
I brushed my hair out then got dressed in my usual. I stopped to look at myself in the mirror. My natural pale complexion still radiated but my hair now reached at least to the center of my back. There was a knock at the door making me jump.
"Need a new alarm clock again?" Jazz asked sitting back on the bed looking down at the shattered clock
"Yeah."
"That is like the fifth or sixth one!" she exclaimed
"What can I say I don't like getting up early." I said laughing
She laughed too. Jazz had become one of my best friends since I'd moved up here two years ago. Granted she tried to hit on me first but afterwards she seemed to be the one person to go to if I had issues or guy problems.
"Well let's go McCollough we have a big day today filled with shopping." she said
"Alright hold on." I said grabbing my keys
Then I headed out the door behind her. We walked around the mall for a while then relaxed in the food court. Then I couldn't believe it.
"Matt?" I called
He turned around. I quickly got up and ran over to hug him. He was with Tyler.
"Oh my god what are you guys doing up here?" I asked surprised as I let go of Matt
"We were taking a break from school and thought we'd take a look around New York. I had no idea you'd be here though. Of course it's not like you told anyone where you were going in the first place." he said some what scowling me
I still managed to blush in front of him. I noticed Tyler looking at Jazz as she was coming over.
"Tyler I wouldn't she…" I trailed off trying to find the right words
"So these are some of your hometown friends." she said
"Mhm this is Tyler and Matt."
"Nice to meet you." Jazz said
"Likewise." Tyler said
I just shook my head laughing.
"You should come eat with us." I suggested
"Sounds good." Matt said
We sat down at a table.
"So how is everyone?" I asked
"Doing fine. Meredith is out doing her own exploring with Sage. And Elena and Stefan are in Florence I think. I'm not sure I haven't heard from them in a while."
I smiled as best I could. But I think Matt caught my sense of curiosity.
"No one's heard from Damon." he said silently
I just nodded. Thoughts of him had crossed my mind and on more than one occasion. We sat and caught up on the things we'd missed and old times. They talked about how they still lived in Fell's Church and how Tyler was taking care of Caroline. The right way this time. Matt was going through community college.
"It was so good to see you guys again." I said as I stood
"Don't be such a stranger Bonnie." Tyler said
We said our goodbyes then parted ways. It was good to see a slice of home again.
~Damon~
She didn't see me but I saw her. Talking it up with Mutt and the dog. She seemed happy and I had been too long since she was. Her and her friend made their way out of the mall splitting up from the other two. I followed her home after her friend split off to go her own way. I was curious enough to see if she still had it in her.

Walking it was dark with the only things lighting up the streets being the street lights. But I was feeling uneasy and I felt as if I were being followed. Then all of the sudden I felt someone try to get into my head. Quickly grabbing at my temples I sent out as much power as I could harness. It was like a wave. But the mind probing stopped instantly. Looked around trying to think who would try to get in my head.
"It couldn't be." I said to myself
But a few feet away I saw a sparkling like object. Walking over I picked it up to notice it was a small ball. It seemed familiar and took a second for me to realize what was.
"I thought I'd lost this." I said to myself
It was my favorite memory and the one that gave me the most pain. I'd lost something. A chunk of my heart to him being he ripped it out. Acting like nothing had happened. Acting like….
I didn't want to act like I didn't remember because I did and in a way I was happy to remember.
Ah cara I see I am not the only one missing something…a voice in my head trailed off.
I turned around but no one was there. I know your voice I thought to myself. Then I turned holding the small ball close to me and walked back to my apartment. When I got there I noticed my mail on the floor and picked it up on my way in. Flicking through it was just the usual bills but then something stuck out. It was from Elena an Stephan.
