Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

I'll Never Stop Trying

~Damon~
After Stefan left; I went to talk to her, Rebekah said she'd come back later. So, it was just us two left in the house- besides the baby. But I don't count her.

"Hey" I say, walking into the room she looks up, when she meets my eye she says, "Hi" "How are you doing?" "Been better... probably" "We'll get you back to normal" "What if this is my new normal?" "Well, then we'll... go from there, but I'm not gonna stop trying"

"Thank you" "Can I ask you something?" "Of course" "When you woke and you only recognized me... you thought I was dead" "Yeah" "Why?" 

"I don't know, I just woke and thought you were dead... it was weird, and I just, it was one of the reasons I had to get out of there... I couldn't imagine you being dead...

"...It broke my heart, I wanted to cry when I saw you. In a good way of course" She chuckled. "Damon, I remember something from right before whatever happened" "Really? What was it?" He asked, excited.

"I figured out that, I love you, Damon" I heard her say that and my eyes got wide. "You what?" "I love you" "I think you should take a nap, ok?" "Sure, yeah ok"

So, she did. While I waited for her to wake back up, I drink some bourbon. Like every other day.

~5 hours later~
Stefan walks in the house and asks, "So how is she?" "Same as she was when you guys left" "Mm, do you think her memories are gone?" "I hope not, I don't even know what to do" "Me either"

"She's asleep right now" "Ah, ok" "Hope her memory will be back by the time she wakes up" "Yep, we can only hope" "Yeah"

About an hour later she finally wakes up, tiredly coming down the stairs.

"Look who is finally awake" "Shut up, Damon!" "See your back to normal" "What are you talking about?" "Wait a second, what's the last thing you remember?" "I don't know, what are you talking about? Damon what's going on with you?" She chuckles nervously.

"Hey, Stefan!" "Damon, stop yelling" Stefan says, irritated coming out of his room. "I think she remembers" "What?" "I'm really confused about what the hell is going on!"

"Hey, Maya" Stefan said. "I remember you, your... Stefanie's father, we're together, correct?" "Guess your wrong Damon" "Get Bonnie, maybe she can help!" "Yeah, she was the one who took them, maybe she can give them back!"

After what seemed like forever, Bonnie finally got to the boarding house. It took some convincing, but we finally got her to try and do it. We hoped and prayed for her to do it.

"I don't know how painful this is gonna be guys" "Just do it, Bon" "Ok" She put both hands on her temples and Maya started to scream painfully. "Oh God"

~A few minutes later~
"There, it should be done, when she wakes up, her memories should be back" "Really? Thank you so much Bonnie!" We both hugged her. "Mind if I stay, until she wakes?" "Sure, no problem"

*So, did it work? Are her memories gonna come back? Find out in the next chapter!*
