Green Eyes (Damon Salvatore)

0-2

ALYSSA BINKLEY nervously tapped her foot on the ground as she was at the parlor with Damon. He poured his 5th glass as he now poured an extra one for Alyssa.

"Damon, you know I don't drink," She says politely, declining his offer for it.

"Right, more for me then," he says, quickly drowning his shot before he drowned hers.

"You haven't changed since the last time I saw you," Alyssa quietly says, looking down on the ground.

"Last time you saw me?" He says, getting angry as he gripped the glass in his hand tighter. "Honey, I've changed alot in 30 years,"

"But your still the same Damon Salvatore I used to know, I see it in your eyes," she said going to put her hand on his cheek, but he slapped it away as she had a hurt expression on her face.

"Cut the crap. Why are you really here, Ms. Binkley?" He asks, narrowing his eyes at her.

"Someone is after me, for something I did so long ago. They wish me to be dead, which is why I was on your floor nearly dying,"

"Who wants you dead?" Damon asks, curious laced in his voice.

She shook her head, not wanting to speak his name.

"I cannot say," Alyssa begins looking away from him. "His huntsman followed me here and threw the stake at my stomach, I cannot stay here, he will run back to him and tell him where I am, there is a reason why I left you Damon," she said tears forming in her eyes.

"Give me that reason. Was it this man that's after you?"

"Yes, the reason we met in the first place was because I was escaping from him. The reason I left is because he found me. I didn't want you in danger. I knew the best way for me was to leave the night you were sleeping. I cried for years over you Damon, but if he saw me with you or if I even called or texted you, your life would be put in danger as well, I couldn't risk it," she said fresh tears coming out of her eyes.

"So you see I only ghosted you because I was protecting you,"

"I could've protected you," he said, anger laced in his voice as he gripped the glass so hard that it broke. "Fucking Christ I loved you Alyssa, you meant the world to me for the 4 years we had together, every kiss, every touch, hell even the sex I missed it all! I was so heart broken I turned my emotions off because I didn't want to deal with them," he said voice getting louder with each word.

"You destroyed me, the day you left was the day I was going to propose," he said causing her eyes to widen in shock.

"Y-You were going to marry me?" She asks not believing  her own words.

"Of course I was, even had the ring and everything. But I woke up and you were gone, no trace, no note nothing. For days I searched for you, but you were nowhere to be found. I thought you never truly loved me to just up and leave like that without a word,"

Alyssa shook her head more tears spilling out of her eyes.

"No, no, no it wasn't like that! I loved you with all my heart, I wanted to stay, hell I even thought of us running away together, but he would find us. And I knew it was best to travel alone,"

"You didn't get the chance to make that call. You should have told me about it,"

"I wasn't going to risk getting you killed,"

Damon sighed before getting up and pacing around again.

"Your staying with us until I know your safe from whoever is trying to kill you,"

"But-"

"No exceptions," Damon said before vamp speeding up the stairs.

So many emotions ran through his head as he hit the bed to his room. He guesses one emotion ran through his head the most.

Relief.

He was relieved that he finally got some answers, he was relieved that she was alive and he was relived that she's back in his life.

He's missed her after all these years. He thought he could forget about her, he thought he could erase her from existence.

But Damon had a goofy smile on his face despite being Rejected by Elena Gilbert today.

He was happy to have Alyssa Binkley back in his life.
