Forever And More (DAMON X READER)

Chapter Seven

Present Time - Y/n's POV

We were driving towards the place where everything in my living life happened, and feeling the nostalgia hit, I decided to let all the memories flood in. I smiled gently, rolled down the window, and invited the wind to blow through my hair and it felt exhilarating like I was in some movie. Normally I would cringe at myself over those sorts of moments but as of now I think I deserve this... peace?

"You're looking quite content over there, " Hailey interrupted, with a cheeky smile accompanying her. I looked over and just shrugged my shoulders, "I grew up here, I'm just reminiscing" I replied, feeling quite sheepish. Hailey made me feel comfortable being myself, she was no doubt my best friend. I could suddenly feel myself falling to sleep- it had been a long day, but I suppose a few minutes wouldn't hurt.

"Damon?" I said shakily as I saw him right before me again. I buried my head into his neck, feeling this overwhelming comfort as if I could feel him- this has to be a dream, right? He died. Damon died. She told me that she saw his father shoot him and Stefan, she said it herself. I looked at him in front of me, thinking to myself of all the lies she's told. Don't get me wrong, I have thought of it before- that she lied that he was dead but I saw his funeral myself, but it was a closed casket- however, I know their father wouldn't have wanted to see their faces either if it was him that shot them. 

Present Time - Damon's POV (It's a time skip to opening the tomb) 

"She's not here! She's not here Stefan, What am I supposed to do now? I got the witch, I got the spell! She's not here!" I screamed, I was searching in the tomb- Stefan had hesitantly agreed to help- he had ill thoughts about my intentions of opening the tomb so that I would release all the other vampires that were trapped. However, all I could think of right now was that she isn't here, not Katherine nor Y/n.

What if Emily lied? What if Katherine did kill Y/n but just didn't tell me so I didn't go on some rampage? Because I know that is what I would've done. I could feel the veins under my eyes as anger and sorrow just blinded me, I looked at Stefan and just collapsed to my knees. Life wasn't worth living if I couldn't live with her. Maybe I could just stay here, forget that we ever existed. I have to repay for all of the wrongs that I've done, she was the reason for everything and now she doesn't even exist to be a reason. I had dreamed of her last night that she was driving into mystic falls, it was so real that I just thought it was a sign that I'm doing it all right, but she isn't here.

I hadn't realised Stefan lifting me from the ground or even speaking to me. "No! No, Stefan! I don't want to go, just leave me here where I can forget," I shouted, solemnly. He shook his head and continued to drag me out of the tomb, I couldn't fight it, I was too weak to do so. I lifted myself, and dusted myself off- should I just do it? Thinking of her is making me weak, I can't afford that right now. Do I just switch it off?

Walking out of the tomb, I felt numb. They all stood as if waiting to meet whoever was crazy enough to fall in love with me, I laughed at how stupid they all looked. I decided if I was to forget anything, switching off my humanity usually works enough. I felt Stefan step back, "You did it didn't you, Damon? You switched it off!" He shouted, I just smiled.

"One of the many perks of being a vampire, brother." And in that second I was gone, never mind babysitting anymore, I can just go have some fun. I could hear a car in the distance, what perfect timing- I was just getting hungry. Playing a game in my head of who the next meal is gonna be, I sped over in the direction of the road. As I reached it, I did my usual routine- lay in the road and wait for them to come to me.

I heard the car door open and feet collide with the ground, a few steps which suddenly stopped. Now I was confused, why did they stop? I could hear their breathing, which was getting shorter. I was waiting for something to happen, for some reason I didn't want to open my eyes as if what they say will miraculously give me a heart attack.

"...Damon?" I could remember that voice, that angelic voice that I used to be woken up with. It's not her, she's dead. This must be Stefan's doing, he's got his little witch, Bonnie, to try to get me to switch it back on. I opened my eyes, finally, waiting to see nothing. But there she stood.

"Okay, Stefan are you in my head? I know I told you about my dream! I didn't think you'd be this desperate to do this though." I shouted, just waiting for him to appear somewhere. She looked at me with tears pouring down her face, nice touch, I thought- Stefan's upping his game.

"You're not dead? She said you were- wait you had that dream too?" He's done well at creating a scene, I know this didn't happen in my dream at all. I sped over to her, expecting some sort of fault. "He outdid himself here, he must've had some deer blood or something big this morning for this, better for the squirrels, I guess" I laughed, I put my hand to her throat, squeezing, but why does it feel real? The next thing I felt was a harsh and piercing pain in my head and then it was just dark.

A/N Now they finally meet? I feel evil for doing this aha, I was going to push them to meet a bit later but I think this was a good way to start this journey between them both. I ain't gonna lie I enjoy this story, I've been reading it myself and I can't help but feel giddy as well.
