The Vampire Diaries Imagines 2

Imagine #22 Damon

You were married as humans.

"Y/N?", a startlingly familar voice said shakily. You turned towards Damon and smiled fondly.

" Damon Salvatore. It's been a long time", you commented, biting your lip in reminiscence.

"I...I didn't know you turned", he said, his face ashen.

"I didn't until 5 years after our split", you told him, as you sat across from him at a table in the grill.

" I didn't think you knew about vampires ".

" Again, I didn't. Once I realised what I was, once I felt this overwhelming anger, I immediately knew you had to have become one, and that was why things got so bad between us. Am I right? ", you asked, stirring sugar into your coffee mindlessly.

" I just couldn't deal with you being so kind and understanding while I was being such an ass Y/N. I had to leave, you had no life with me being so angry all the time", he said his voice heavy with pent up feelings.

"And you didn't think to be honest with me? I would have understood", you said softly, still stirring in sugar.

" That I was a blood sucking monster? ", he asked skeptically.

" I would have understood that certain emotions were uncontrollable. You didn't give me the chance, or the choice of living my life with you, regardless of what you were. If you did, we wouldn't be sitting across from each other like total strangers ", you said firmly.

" I wasn't exact thinking rationally Y/N. Nothing was on my mind at the time except the bloodlust ", he said, his eyes on the table instead of you.

" It doesn't matter anymore Damon. It was a long time ago", you reminded him. He gave a tired sigh, shaking his head.

"How did you turn?", he asked.

" I don't know who turned me. I was depressed. Very depressed. And I attempted suicide. I cut my wrists, and I fell into unconsciousness. When I woke, I was a vampire", you said, your voice low.

"You attempted suicide?", he said, his voice cracking. Your eyes met his, and the pain in them mirrored your own.

" That was a tough period of my life. I didn't have anyone to talk to, I didn't see another way out. I haven't went back to the black hole of my life. I don't feel the way I used to. I'm optimistic ", you assured him. He reached for your arm across the table and put his head on your hand. Your eyes closed as you felt his tears fall on your fingertips.

" I'm sorry", he whispered, his voice tear choked. His head lifted back up and his eyelashes were shiny with tears. You put your hand on his cheek softly.

"Don't be. You are one of my happiest memories", you told him.

" You are my only happy memory", he told you. "What would our life have been like if I hadn't left?", he asked.

" I'm not sure sweetheart. But I have this idea in my head. We would have traveled to every corner of the world. We would experience new cultures, and would experience them together. We would have a red brick cottage, and it would be a cheesy, cliché life, but it would be our cheesy cliché life. Hows that? ", you asked.

" I like it", he whispered.

"Well the good thing about being vampires, is that we have forever. We can have a second chance", you told him. He raised an eyebrow, smiling crookedly.

" Oh yeah? I guess that means I have to ask you on a first date. Would you go on a date with me Y/N?", he asked.

"I don't know Damon. It's so unexpected!", you teased, your hand on your chest. His lips twitched. "Meet me here at 8", you said gently. You stood up and softly brushed his lips with yours. Damon watched you walking out, wondering how he ever let you go.
