I'm Sorry! Forgive me?

Chapter 23 - The Talk

I am so sorry. I really thought I'd posted this chapter but it was in my drafts... Shit. Really apologise for that. Don't worry, you'll still get this week's chapter in a few hours...

Warning: This is gonna ba sappy. I don't know how much but definitely gonna be sappy.

DPOV:

"I fought with Isa when she tried to get me to see reason. I called her names, insulted my relationship with her. Hurt her so much. I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry."

I could feel her pain. I could feel her family's anger, their disappointment.

How did I mess this up so bad? I wanted to explain to her how much she meant to me. My somewhat salvation came with the words that left her mouth, "Can I talk to him? Alone?"

I saw her brothers about to protest from the corner of my eyes, but the girls dragged them out. Mikael gave me a warning look and left. We were alone. I blew out a breath.

"Speak Damon. I don't know when you will get another chance to do so again."

And so I did. Looking at the ground, I spilled everything that had been in my heart since 145 years of not seeing her.

"I fancied you the moment I saw you at the creek. I never looked at a woman before but there was something about you that I never wanted to let you out of my sight. When we started getting closer, I knew I liked you more than just a friend. You were not any friend Isa, you were my best friend. In ways Stefan was not, and you remember how close we were before Katherine. I knew I loved you the night George asked you to the ball. I was afraid that if you went with him, I would end up losing you. It was the greatest fear of my life- to lose you. I tried to confess. God did I try to confess! Stefan would always end up laughing at me at the end of the day when I was unable to tell you. I tried to tell you when we met at the creek but that day there was the panther sighting and we had to get away. I tried so many times and each time, something inconsequential would stop me from doing it. Then came Katherine. I was still trying to tell you but I made the mistake of telling Katherine my plans and she decided she could not let you have me. I was nothing worth having. It was always you. I think what spurred her on is the fact that I never stopped talking about you. You were always on my mind. Then slowly, she started compelling me to make me distance myself from you. The day you left, I didn't even remember half of it until after I was turned. I spent the whole day locked up in my room. Pissed at myself for not looking at you one last time. But the next day, it was as if nothing even happened! Then came the rounding up of vampires and after I tried to get Katherine aaway, I was shot along with Stefan, by Giuseppe. We later got to know that she had been slipping her blood in our drinks, turning us into vampires. Though for this I am grateful as it helped me see you again. Try and form a relationship again, if you let me. When I came here, it was because I heard that there was another doppelganger here and that Stefan was dating her. Her name is Elena Gilbert. She was friends with Caroline, Bonnie and Tyler before she started showing her true colours. I admit that at first she was different from Katherine and I swear, I pretended to be in love with her just to annoy Stefan... Though I think he knew that it was just a show. Anyway... she was sweet and I thought I could count her as a friend of mine but she proved that she is just like Katherine. Playing two brothers against each other. She looked very jealous yesterday when I was talking about you to Stefan. I swear I never had feelings for her despite what many think. My heart belongs to you. Always has. Always will. When I saw you at the Grill, I was so insanely jealous of Klaus that he was close to you in ways I wasn't anymore. I cannot express how truly sorry I am due to what I said to you. I saw the pain in your eyes and I ignored it. I knew I was wrong and still ignored it. I love you, Isa. If you will have me, give me one more chance, then I will prove to you that you can trust me again. That I will never break your heart again. Please. I will give you all the time you need. Just please, forgive me."

I finally looked up to see silent tears streaming down her face. The pain in her beautiful chocolate eyes and the conflicted emotions made me want to wrap my arms around her. And I did. I hugged her to myself fiercely, with an intention of never letting go. A silent promise. I felt her arms wrap around me hesitant at first but then she became more confident and hugged me back with the same ferocity. I knew this meant that she had forgiven me for now and I leaned down to kiss her forehead.

We were content to stay like this for quite some time.

After a few moments, she pulled away, smiling a bit.

"I still need to call my witch. Can she stay with you though? My house is a bit full at the moment and she is not used to so many people being around. I may need to travel a bit to get her here..."

"I'll come with you. I don't want to stay away from you for too long right now."

She laughed a bit and agreed. Then stepped out to make the call, leaving me to call back the original family and the Scooby gang.

Again, I apologise. Don't forget to
