I'd Go To Hell And Back For You (VD Fanfiction)

Chapter One

It has been a whole year since I've had Elena in my arms. I miss her embrace. Her smile. Her laugh. Her fiery personality. I have tried everything to get her back, but it's no use at this point. Lily's spell is too strong for me to break.

So here I am, sitting in a dorm room trying to make it a home. The Salvatore house is running over with heretics. It disgusts me to think of my mother and her so called family living the life of luxury that was supposed to be mine. Mystic Falls has been destroyed. Our sanctuary is no longer. It all puts a bad taste in my mouth.

I am barely living. I can't bring myself to move on. I sit here day after day drowning my sorrows one glass of whiskey at a time.

Today I have decided to visit the tomb where my sweet Elena lies. I come here often. If I can be undisturbed for a moment without Lily breathing down my neck. I walk passed all the headstones and forgotten graves. Such a shame these people have been abandoned by their families. I push the memories of my own killings out of my mind. I'm not here for guilt. I walk up to the tomb and walk inside. The casket is an unwelcoming gesture. Elena shouldn't be in there. A wooden box. She deserves to be here with me.

"Hey my sweet girl." I speak out loud. "Nothing has changed since last time, but I wanted to see you." I pause for a bit. I place the flowers I brought on top of the coffin.

I feel the familiar lump in my throat, making it hard to breathe. "I miss you Elena." The first tear falls and I know I'm done. "I miss you like hell. I'm living in my own personal hell. I need you Elena. I need you so badly." I'm screaming now. I punch the concrete wall. "Damnit!" I hear a noise outside and go quiet. I choke back my sadness and rage.

Thinking it's Lily I say, "What do you want? Haven't you done enough?"

"Gee thanks man." Bonnie wanders in.

"Oh, I thought you were my mother. I'm sorry Bon." I try to smirk, but can't.

"I've been looking all over for you. I thought you might be here." She walks next to the coffin and runs her fingers across it.

"Why have you been looking for me?"

"I'm tired of you sulking in a drunken stupor twenty four hours a day." I raise my eyebrow at her sudden outburst. "We are all hurting Damon. But we are trying to move on and live. Elena wouldn't want you to be like this. I know it and so do you."

She was right, but I couldn't help the sudden rage inside me. "Do you know what it's like to lose someone over and over again? It kills me." She looks at me expectantly. Of course she knew what it was like, we all did.

"Low blows, nice." She looks at the ground, then seemingly gaining her courage, "You're coming with me. We aren't going to let you live like this. You and I are going to get away for awhile."

"You can go wherever you want, I'm staying here to protect her."
"Already taken care of, Stefan will be here to watch over her. It's time for you to feel happy again."
