Gilbert Twin

Chapter 10

*Elena's P.O.V*

I spent most of my night out with Stefan, I came home at around midnight, I said my goodbyes to Stefan on the front porch, Everything was perfect. I walked inside, smiling as I walked upstairs towards my bedroom. I spotted something unusual as I past Izzy's room. The door was wide open; when she usually has it closed. Her bed made. I looked around the hallway before I stepped in. I looked around in the room, I opened the closet door, her clothes were gone. I started to panic, before I spun around, seeing a white sheet of paper neatly folded on her nightstand beside her bed, I look around once more before sitting on the edge of the bed, one leg tucked underneath the other as I held the note shakily in my hand. I take a deep breath and unfold it. It read.

Dearest Elena,

I'm so sorry I had to leave so suddenly, and so short notice, I should have told you in person but I didn't want anyone or you to stop me, but I don't belong in a town like this, I should have never came back into your life, Believe me, It has been great seeing you again but the condition i'm in right now, i don't feel like your safe, I don't feel like anyone's safe around me. So until then I will be staying someplace where I feel safe. Again, I'm so sorry. Take care of Jer and everyone else for me. I'll come back soon.

Izzy.

My hands were trembling as I read the printing on the letter. I closed my eyes hardly, stopping the tears from falling, How could she just leave like this? Everything in my life was just starting to act normal. I was so angry, It was all my fault, I must have said something to upset her. I thought to myself. I stood up and trashed everything in her room, throwing the lamp at the wall, throwing blankets, pillows, It looked like a crime scene. I was so angry and hurt, She ruined my life, while trying to save her own. I plopped down on the floor as I looked around the room, then my attention shot to Damon standing against the door frame, looking at me like I was a damaged wreck, which I was. I looked at him with my tear stained eyes as he came and sat next to me, not saying a word. Until suddenly a few minutes he spoke.

"It's all my fault she left you, Elena."

I just looked at him with confusion.

"What are you talking about? How would it be-" I was cut off by Damon holding his hand up.

"It's my fault she left because we were together the last time I saw her, I told her how I felt about her and then I ruined the mood and everything by calling her Elena, It slipped out and I didn't mean for it to." He said as he looked down, not making eye contact.

I stood up and backed away from him.
"Get out." I said fiercely.

Damon stood there, with a shocked expression on his face as he stood up.
"Elena please, I can exp-" I cut him off by shoving him towards the door.

"Get out! Get out get out!" I shouted as I shoved him out the door, slamming it behind him as I slowly slid down the door and hugged my knees tightly to my chest.

It's his fault. She left because he broke her heart.

I told myself. I couldn't blame myself anymore.

I blamed him.
