The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 15

Damon's POV
Where is Mel?! I haven't found her yet and I've tried calling her phone but she won't answer! Where is she? I stand still taking my phone out and call Tyler. It rings about 3 times when he answers.
"Hey Tyler. Have you seen Mel anywhere?"
"Er. Yeah she's at mine. She came round crying but I had to leave so I left her alone. Why?"
"Ohhh shit! Ok It don't matter. I thought that she ran away. Ok bye Tyler." I hung up and run to the Lockwood mansion. I run through the door into the living room where I see Mel's daylight ring on the table. I look over to the curtain to see it open. I can smell burnt flesh within the air. I walk over a little closer and see a heart on the floor. I look to the left and see Mel's dessicated body with a hole in her chest. I gasp and run over to her body. I start to cry and pick her body up. I run to the boarding house and put her body on the sofa. I call Stefan telling him that he needs to get over here with Elena. He agrees and hangs up. I look down at her body and start to cry harder. Who did this to her?! I'm going to kill them when I find them! I hear the door open then close and footsteps getting closer. Once they enter the room Elena gasps and runs to Mel's body. She starts crying and falls to the floor.
"Elena. I called you both here so I can ask what you want me to do with the body?" She looks at me with horror and disbelief. I know exactly why aswell.
"Are you actually joking me Damon?! You're talking about her like she meant nothing to you! How could you?!" Tears start to fall harder from her eyes while I remained with a cold stare.
"That's because she meant nothing to me! I only used her for her blood and pleasure! She was my play toy!" I lied. I don't them knowing how much she actually meant to me. Elena stands up and slaps me across the face.
"How dare you talk about my sister like that! She never deserved you! She deserved better than you!" She walks off with Stefan trailing behind her. I sigh and look down at her body. I pick it up and take it to the basement i to one of the cells. I'm going to keep her body her for my reasons. I lock the door and go back upstairs. I can't live without her! She was my humanity! I can't keep under control without her! I feel so many emotions right now and they are sadness, anger, rage, emptiness and hatred. The hatred is toward myself for not protecting her at all times. I run out of the house toward central town. I compel about 4 people to follow me to an ally. I drink them dry and leave the bodies there. I walk out of the ally with the blood still over me. I run back home and get changed. I go downstairs to see Caroline and Bonnie walk in with Stefan and Elena.
"Why are they here?" Having them here is going to make me think of Melanie.
"They are here to help." I laugh humorlessly. Help with what?
"And what exactly are they helping with?"
"Caroline is here so that you don't go round killing people while Bonnie here is going to find a spell to being back Melanie." Stefan replies with.
"Too late for the killing, brother. Already done that." I walk back up to my room and lie on the bed looking up at the ceiling. I don't feel comfortable in my own room without thinking about her. Why is she on my mind all the time?! I look at the time and see it's 9:47pm. I go out my room and into one of the guest rooms. I'm never sleeping in my room again.... It reminds me of her. I get into the bed and fall asleep.
-unknown POV-
I hate seeing Damon like this. It breaks my heart. He can't hear me. I always try to talk to him since the accident but he can't hear me! I sigh and walk out of the guest room Damon is in. I walk down the stairs passing by Elena, Bonnie and Stefan through the living room. Bonnie gasps all of a sudden.
"What's wrong, Bonnie?" Asks Elena with concern.
"I can feel a presence with us. Can you get me some candles Stefan? Maybe I can see who it is." Stefan quickly grabs them and Bonnie starts chanting. After about 2 minutes she stops and opens her eyes gasping looking straight at me.
"Hey Bon." I say shyly.
"Mel? Oh my god! Mel why did you kill yourself?"
"I did it because I felt so much pain, guilt and sadness so I though that everyone's lives would be better off without the monster that is me be loose so I went to Tyler's and when he left... I put my daylight ring on the time and started burning myself with the sun but it took to long so I ripped my heart out."
"But Mel! We all miss you!"
"I'm sorry Bonnie. Tell everyone I miss them and I'm sorry." I walk out the door and to my house I want to say goodbye to Jeremy. I stand in the doorway to the kitchen and Jeremy comes down the stairs looking at me.
"Mel? Oh my god! I haven't seen you in ages! I missed you!" I sigh and look at him with sadness.
"I'm sorry Jeremy. But this is goodbye."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean... I know you can see the dead and that's how you can see me."
"Y-you're dead? No! I won't believe it! No! I can't lose you Mel! You understood me more than Elena did." He starts crying. Which makes tears start falling from my eyes.
"I'm so sorry Jeremy! If you ever want to talk then I'm free whenever. I love you Jeremy.
Goodbye." I fade away from him. Only he and Bonnie can see me now. I shouldn't have killed myself! I only thought about me not Jeremy, not Bonnie, not Elena, not Stefan and especially not Damon! I'm so stupid! What was I thinking?!
