Yay, time for my first official song fic, whoop, whoop! Enjoy the song is 'Stay' by Miley Cyrus (I love this song) Remember I am taking requests and it would really help me if I knew what you were looking for. s

Stay

Well it's good to hear you voice,

I hope you're doing fine,

And if you ever wondered,

I'm lonely here tonight,

I'm lost here in this moment,

And time keeps slipping by,

And if I could have just one wish,

I'd have you by my side,

Oh,

I miss you,

Oh,

I need you

Tyler Lockwood stood with the rest of the school students that had showed up. It wasn't something to celebrate so he was shocked anyone who wasn't a friend to him did show up. Tyler looked down at the gravestone; 'Jeremy Gilbert, 1995-2010. Forever in our hearts.' They were spot on with that one. Tyler shrugged Matt's hand off of his shoulder and walked away. He was to blame; he shouldn't have anyone comfort him.

He should feel this lonely for the rest of his life and never recover from it. He watched as people left the cemetery one by one or in groups of up to four people. All Tyler needed was one small wish, he deserved that much didn't he? He deserved to have him back didn't he? Jeremy deserved to live! And Tyler took everything he deserved away from him; Vickie, love, and now life.

And I love you more than I did before,

And if today I didn't see your face,

Nothing's changed,

No one can take your place,

It's getting harder every day,

Say you love me more then you did before,

And I'm sorry it's this way,

But I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

And if you ask me I will stay,

I will stay

He had loved him and he screwed up, he didn't protect him. Mason would come after something Tyler loved and he knew it. So, he went after Jeremy. Why not? Tyler took down Katherine! It was only fair! Tyler punched his windshield on his car as the anger bubbled up inside of him. He looked around as something called to him and that's when he noticed it, really noticed it, for the first time.

The church.

Well I've tried to live without you,

But tears fall from my eyes,

I'm alone and I feel empty,

God, I'm tore apart inside,

I look up at the stars,

Hoping you're doing the same,

And somehow I feel closer,

And I can hear you say,

Oh,

I miss you,

Oh,

I need you

Tyler had ignored his instanced to walk into the building, he didn't deserve forgiveness. Tyler pulled the boxes into his mate's bedroom which he rarely actually slept in. He began to put a few things into the box, he picked up his hoodie and a piece of paper fell out of the pocket. Tyler picked it up and was surprised with what he found. It was the note he had wrote him the night before he moved in, that was three months ago, he read what he had wrote and smiled as he did so;

Jeremy, I'm sorry about yelling at you this morning. Please speak to me, I love you and you know that without me telling which is both a good thing and a bad thing as you continue to use it against me. Move in with me. Then we don't have to through the hassle of picking someone to tell first, they'll all know. Come on, Jeremy just turn around. Tyler remembered that moment, they were in art class and where practicing art work that you had to really get into the artist's mind to figure out. Jeremy was very good at it and uncovered what Tyler had hid in his picture. He had drawn places he had taken Jeremy and wrote 'Jeremy forgive me' I love you. You love me. We belong together, Jere, you've said it yourself. Move in with me and you won't regret it. On the back of the paper he had wrote the first nine words of the first part out.

And I love you more than I did before,

And if today I didn't see your face,

Nothing's changed,

No one can take your place,

It's getting harder every day,

Say you love me more then you did before,

And I'm sorry it's this way,

But I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

And if you ask me I will stay,

I will stay

Tyler sat down on the floor gripping the note his hand tightly. Come back, he thought to himself, come back home. I need you. Tears ran down Tyler's cheek as gave in to all of the pain he felt at the moment. Everything had been taken away from him. The only real thing he cared about was gone. He needed him. He loved him. He had lost him.

Stay, always stay,

I never wanna loose you,

And if I have to I will choose you,

So, oh stay,

Please always stay,

You're the one that I hold on too,

'Cause my heart would stop without,

You

Tyler stood in front of his deceased mate's grave in pain. He needed to see his face, to hear his voice, to touch his skin, to taste his lips. He needed to be with him one more time. He needed to hold onto. He needed him to come back. This wasn't just missing someone. This was feeling everything inside of you be torn apart bit by bit.

Tyler looked over at the church once more and then back to Jeremy's grave. He walked away and towards the old building. He opened the door and walked inside, the priest looked over at him with a pitiful look on his face and Tyler would as well. Know that he had come so low to do something that he was totally against. But he needed to feel connected to him somehow.

And I love you more than I did before,

And if today I didn't see your face,

Nothing's changed,

No one can take your place,

It's getting harder every day,

Say you love me more then you did before,

And I'm sorry it's this way,

But I'm coming home,

I'll be coming home,

And if you ask me I will stay,

I will stay,

I'll always stay,

And I love you more than I did before,

And I'm sorry that it's this way,

But I'm coming home,

I'll be coming home,

And if you ask me I will stay,

I will stay,

I will stay.

"OK, so I know this won't actually work but I'm running outta ideas so don't mock me up there you hear me, Gilbert. I...I miss you. I need to be with you again, I loved you and he took you away...from me. All because I was an idiot and help the Salvatore's...for you. I wanna hear your voice and I hope they're taking care of you up there. If you're wondering I'm...I'm...alone. And I want it that way. Come back to me, I'm lost down here without you." Tyler began taking in a big breath before continuing, "I want you to come home, please just come home. I've tried before the funeral I tried. But I couldn't help but cry when I found the note, you kept it. I have this empty feeling ripping through me and I...I want you to fix but you can't because you're not here,"

Tyler breathed in another shaky breath, "Jeremy, if I had to change places with one person it would be you because you deserve to be here. I hope you're watching over me 'cause someone's gotta be," Tyler sobbed, "If I had one wish, Jeremy, it would be that you were back here by my side, with me forever." Tyler cried for the second time that day he cried until he thought he couldn't breathe. Until everything in his body went numb and he just sat there as if he were waiting for someone to listen to him and give Jeremy back to him, even though he knew it was useless.
