Daddy Dearest

Chapter 11

I ran all the way back to him. I needed to see him. To feel his arms around me. When I got there all the lights were off except the front porch. I walked up the steps. I try opening the door but they were locked. I called out his name. I looked around to see if I could find a spare key. But I noticed a white envelope on a bench. I walked over to it. My name was scribes on it. His wonderful penmanship. I opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. I ran my finger across the ink. As I read it I felt tears pool up.

Dearest Selena,

Love I am sorry I left like this. But it's for the better. I left to go finish what I set out to do. I should had left sooner but I was distracted.
I regret the hurt I caused you and I promise I won't cause anymore. We caused so much hurt and pain with our stubbornness.
Just think of the good days we had and the time we shared. Selena I'm not saying this isn't hard for me to write this. It was really hard for me to walk away from you earlier. Especially when you spoke those words. Oh how they brought me back to the time when you was still human and we spent the summer together and fell in love. By the creek laying on a blanket we had just finished a pinic. You told me how you felt alone and had no one and I replied that you had me and nothing would changed that. I told you it was you and me against the world. And it's still true you will always have me when you need me. That's also the day I asked you to be mine forever and you agree and turned you.
Selena you shall see me again one day. I have to take care of this so it would be safe.

Love,
Klaus

I felt the tears I been holding back for years spilled out. Everything went blurry. I felt like I was falling a part. I wrapped my arms around my side and fell on my knees crying. I screamed out in pain and frustration. I was hurt and betrayed. I cried for the mom I thought I knew. For the love I lost. For the dad I didn't grow up having. For all the people I killed, for everything. I let it all go.
I don't know how long I was there crying and screaming for, but I felt two strong arms pick me up off the porch and carry me. I didn't have the strength to open my eyes. But by the smell I could tell it was Damon. I felt so limp and lifeless in his arms. He placed me in my bed. I turned my back to him. I open my eyes to look at nothing. He stood there for a minute saying nothing. I didn't feel like talking. He eventually turned and walked out. He went downstairs to everyone. I listen to their conversation.

'Damon are you okay?' Elena asked.

'No. She's hurting. She shut down and unresponsive to anything. I asked her if she wanted to talk or a drink. Hell I even asked if she wanted me to send Donovan up there but she didn't answer.' He talked to me?

'Where Did you find her?' Caroline asked.

'I finally found her on Klaus's doorstep. He wasn't home. Which was good cause I wanted to hurt him for hurting her.'

' Its going to be okay man. Give her time. Here.' I'm guessing Ric handed him a drink.

'I'm going to go check on her.' Matt said.

'No Matt let me. I think I can relate more and plus I'm a girl.' Elena spoke. I heard her walk up the stairs. She knocked on my door before opening it.

"Selena its me Elena." She walked in futher. " I know we havn't seen eye to eye but I'm here to listen if you wanna talk or I can try to give you advice." She was quiet for a minute and then turned to leave. I spoke up.

"Would you brush my hair while we talk?" She had a confused look but then smiled and nod. She grabbed my hair brush and sat by me in the bed. She started brushing my hair.

"It just hurts. To know my mother is not who I thought she was. And what gets me is she knew about me before Damon was turned. She could had told him and that way he could had watched me grow up or at least had the option if he wanted to. She took that from him. She was selfish. And then Klaus picks up and leaves. And left me a letter. Which was better then nothing I guess. And I'm very confused about everything and I hate it." I took a deep breath.

"I get the whole bad mother thing. Did you know I was adopted? The mother that raise me was not my real mom. Isobelle is. I'm sure you met her. She's Rics ex. But she gave me up even though she was sixteen. Then later on hurt Ric and is turned into a vampire by your dad of course. And she turned out to be a B word." A B word? What is this seseme street? "But heres the kicker, the guy I grew up thinking was my uncle John turned out to be my real father. My dad was my uncle and my little brother is my cousin. Weird huh?"

"Wow. That's um? I don't know?"

"There." She let go of my hair. I reached back to touch it. She had French braid it. I turned to smile at her.

"Thank you for the vent and my hair. My mom use to brush it when I was upset. It just soothes me."

"Your welcome. My mom use to braid mine. But we ain't gonna stop there. When one of us is upset or going through something we are there to support one another and so Selena Salvatore I present you with your very first slumber party!" Caroline walked in with a wine bottle and wine glasses. Bonnie walked in with pizzas. I laughed. I jumped off the bed and turned on the music. We started dancing and jumping. I was feeling better already.
