I haven't updated in a while. Sorry :\ Anyway I hope you like this chapter, it's still kind of short so the next one will be longer. Pinkie promise

My whole body was a frenzy of emotional chaos. The way he was looking at me made me feel ashamed; I should have revealed myself to him sooner. But a day became a month and a month became a year and that became 150 years. Finally I gathered the courage to peak up at him from under my lashes.

"Outside." His voice was cold and hard.

The cloud had mostly cleared now and given way to million and billions of stars that twinkled like little diamonds. We stood in the car park which was empty aside from cars.

"Damon…" Tears glittered in my eyes and Damon's icy expression melted. He stepped forward closing the space between us and engulfed me in his arms. And I cried. I just stood wrapped up in Damon for twenty minutes; sobbing into his chest while he brushed my hair out of my face and tried to calm me.

Once I finally got control of myself I dragged him over to a tiny grass bit at the back of the parking lot and I sat down on the curb. He sat next to me. His incredible blue eyes searched my green ones. Our eyes clashed. I kind of like that. "How?" Was all that he said.

I glanced down at my hands as I spoke, it wasn't an answer. "Thank you for saving me. He was meant to kill me you know. I never got the chance to thank you. I didn't even know it was you who saved me until-" My voice caught. I'd imagined reuniting with Damon thousands of times and it had never gone like this. It had been hugs and smiles and laughs. I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me too, and then we both felt like idiots for not saying anything sooner. But they were just stupid fantasies. This was reality.

"Until?" He whispered. I knew he was looking at me but I couldn't meet his gaze. His voice came out so cold and angry that I flinched, "Rowan, until what?"

Then I got annoyed. That was the reason we would never work, he was volcano and I was a tornado (yes I'm quoting Eminem). We both lost our temper when we received the slightest push and would spiral out of control. "Until your precious Katherine Pierce snapped my neck!" I yelled jumping up. He was on his feet in vampire speed. I was an idiot for showing up; I should have just stuck with my dumb fantasies. I needed to get out; I needed to leave Mystic Falls right now, it had to many ghosts. I would swing by Matt's; it wouldn't be too hard to find in such a small town, get my car and get out.

"Where are you going?" Damon yelled behind me, I could practically see him lifting his arms wide at his sides.

"I'm doing what I came here to do and then I'm leaving." I had more control over myself now so I paused and wiped my tears, and then I turned around to face Damon who looked angry enough to ignite. I kept my tone low and voice quiet to show my threat, "A bit of advice, keep Stefan out of my way or I will kill him."

Then Damon was in front of me, we were centimetres apart, he reached up and brushed a few stray hairs from my face. On contact with him I shivered, did he realise the effect he had on me? Even after all this time. I could feel his warm breath on my lips as he stared into my eyes. "This was never meant to happen to. You were supposed to be dead," He wasn't really talking to me. He was mumbling to himself and just staring at me like I was a figment of his imagination. "I mourned you. I talked to you at your grave. I cried for you."

I was crying again. I had had no idea that I meant so much to him, "Damon…" My voice was a horse whisper. "I didn't know." He places a cold finger over my warm lips, "Shhh,"

And just as I think he's going to kiss me he pulls back. "Don't leave. The last time I saw you, not including the alley, we had a huge row over Katherine Pierce of all people. And you know what you were completely right. She was playing us both." Damon sounded so sincere when he spoke that I couldn't hold my smile. "It only took you 150 years to realise I was right."

He laughed and like that we were friends again. But just friends.
