The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 32

Damon's POV
Once Meredith left the room after Melanie had thrown up again, I put myself into Mel's head giving her a dream.
----Dream----
I walk with Melanie down a green hill. Trees surround us, birds chirping. A happy day. The sun shining.
"Damon? How are you doing this?" She asks.
"I put myself in your head and did this." I say smiling at her.
"What happened?" She asked. What does she mean?
"What do you mean?" I ask confused.
"What happened? What put me in a coma? How long am I going to be in a coma?" She explains turning to me.
"I provoked you at the house." I reply.
"I know that part. I remember up to me getting drunk." She replies.
"After you got drunk, you got on your motorcycle and went for a drive when you crashed into a truck. You went flying causing you to break 4 ribs, your pelvis, your arms and your legs as well as internal bleeding. You had to be put into emergency surgery." I sigh and continue.
"The minimum you are in a coma for is a month. They don't know exactly how long. It could be up to years." I flinch when I say it. I don't want to live without her.
"B-but... I don't want to be in a coma for at least a month let alone years." Tears start rolling down her cheeks. I kiss them away for her gently.
"It'll be ok. I do have one question... Why don't you remember any of us?" I tilt my head a bit. She sighs and sits down indicating for me to sit next to her.
"All I remember is going home, doing a witch spell allowing me to see witches and I saw Emily Bennett. I asked her for a spell that allows people to forget others. She gave it me on one condition... I become a vampire hunter with Connor Jordan. I agreed and did the spell making me forget you and the other people." She says shrugging.
"Why are you human?"
"Connor told me that I could join him as long as I did a spell making me a non-vampire. Look... I'm sorry Damon if I hurt you. But I don't remember anything to do with you. All I know is that I'm an only sibling. My parents died when I was 16ish. I lived with my Aunt Jenna who then died of cancer but we weren't ever that close so it didn't effect me." She shrugs. Her head has been filled with lies.
"What killed your parents?" I ask curious to see if she knows the truth.
"They drove off of Wickery Bridge. They died. But I didn't care because they hated me. Abused me. Hurt me." She flinches. Ok... She knows how they die but she thinks they abused her?! I can't even think straight.
"Damon? I want to wake up. Why can't I wake up?" She interrupts my thoughts.
"I don't know, love. I really don't know." I sigh. A stray tear rolls down my face. She looks at me and smiles wiping the tear away.
"It's fine Damon. You'll see me in a month."
"We might. That's the minimum." That's when reality hit me. I need to move on. I can't hold on to her and the only way is to hurt her and so her last thing of me is that I hurt her so she'll stay away when she wakes up. I can't wait on her.
"And you know what? I'm glad you'll be gone. I hope that you always stay in a coma." I say with a strong face even though on the inside it hurts. Melanie looks up tears threatening to spill.
"Y-you don't mean that Damon." She shakes her head.
"Oh trust me I do. I hope you never wake up."
----Dream over------
I take myself out of her head. I look at her and see tears rolling down for real. I can't care for her anymore and the only way to do that.... Is to turn it off which I do exactly. I go to Jeremy and wake him up.
"Damon? What are you doing?" He asks groggily.
"I'm going home." I say emotionless.
"What?! I thought you cared for Melanie?" He says shocked looking at me wide eyed.
"I did but then reality hit me in the face and I realised I have go move on so I am." I shrug and walk out. I go home and up to my room. I lay down and fall asleep.
