Chapter 10: Walk away before your forced to run

7 years ago:

He had to come back home , Katherine needed him she couldn't go alone to her senior dance. So he puts on his best suit and tries to tame his hair , Climbing into her room he waits for her to enter. She comes out of the bathroom all dressed up putting the final touches to her hair. Wearing a skin tight red dress ,black pearls and 6 inch black heals. She looked older like something out of the 1920's . He slowly puts his hands around her and she leans into him. Not looking at him as she talks,"I didn't know you were coming and aren't you too old be sneaking into young girls bedrooms," Damon lets out a short chuckle. "Well Miss Pierce , I heard there was a young girl who needed a partner," she lets out a humfph but smiles anyway. "Well I guess I heard wrong cause I see a woman in front of me,"

For the first time she smiles and her smile seemed to hold centuries behind them. She squeezes his hand and whispers into his neck a request he could not keep. They dance and she forgets , the long year they had just passed. She forgets Stefan if only for a moment and she forgets the looming future plans to be made. Its just her and Damon and his smiling at her that smile he only gave her and her alone. After the dance its just them and the forest that surrounded them . "The last time we were here was when you were leaving," Damon says staring straight ahead. She wonders if he can see their future , he was always so sure of himself. She wants to be like that sure of herself and where her future headed. At 17 she had lost her first love that was never hers , she lost herself but she was getting  it back  slowly piece by tiny piece.

She gets home in the early hours of the morning a little bit tipsy for Damon's mystery flask. As her head touches the pillow she out cold but smiling knowing that Damon will be there in the morning.... She wakes up by streaks of morning sun creeping into her room. Her make up is smuged and her hair resembles that of someone who had been electrocuted.

That  doesn't bother her much as she showers and cleans herself up. She walks downstairs to the smell of pancakes and coffee. "Mmm smells nice ," she says grateful her mother felt the need to spoil them this morning. " Katherine,how you feeling my sweetheart?"
"Good, I'm visiting Damon today," Katherine adds smiling slightly at the thought. "Damon?" her mother questions. Causing Katherine to frown but nod. "He left early this morning back to college," this leaves Kat flawed. In the months to come she tries to contact him with no response from him.

He left  that  morning knowing she wanted him to stay. That is what she had whispered into his neck that night before the dance. But he couldn't if he did he would  destory himself  by loving her. So he stayed away and tried to forget everything that meant something to him . He almost did but she was back in his life somehow and his messed it up again .
