Eternally Yours.

I'm sorry.

Chapter Sixteen - I'm sorry.

~Damon's POV~

It's currently six in the morning, Melody's still asleep thank god. I know shes my girlfriend and everything but I'm having a mental breakdown and I don't want her to see me like this. I can't believe I cheated on her, I kissed her cousin for god sake but she cheated on me so we said we'd forget it but I just can't I'm slowly falling for her and you know what they say about when you're falling there's nothing you can do to stop it apart from wait for the impact and it'll either hurt or it wont but all that's running through my mind is that stupid blue eyed bus boy kissing my girlfriend, It's like it's on repeat in my mind and I wasn't even here to see it, But only if I wouldn't have gone to Elena's to help Stefan with trying to make Elena to forgive Melody then I wouldn't have ended up kissing her and Melody wouldn't have spent the day with Matt and they wouldn't have kissed. Without registering it I let out a load scream while pulling on the ends of my hair, "Babe whats wrong?" I heard Melody's voice say from the top of the staircase with the hint of tiredness in it and suddenly every problem went away when I saw her beautiful brown eyes looking into mine as she slowly came closer with every step she took "I'm sorry Angel, Did I wake you?" I replied while placing my hands on her hips and I couldn't help but notice her face light up and any tiredness disappear when I called her angel "a-a-angel?" She stuttered with tears in her eyes and the smile that was once on her face fade "Oh no, What did I do I'm sorry" I said bringing her into a hug and almost instantly she pulled away and even though she tried to hide it her face was streaming with tears "My, Um... My mum called me Angel all the time" She said through tears placing her head in her hands "Mels, I 'm sorry" I said while rubbing soothing circles on her back "It's fine Damon it's not you, I just. I-I feel like I've forgotten her. I mean I've been so happy and everything I just didn't realize. I've been so busy with School, Elena and you I just forgot and It's only been a month, Damon, I've forgotten my own mother. The woman who gave birth the me and the woman who I found dead how could I do that?" She said with more tears streaming down her face. I was taken back by her sudden burst out but I collected myself together and did my best to comfort my girlfriend "Mels, Listen to me. Your mum would be happy that you've been getting on with your life and you've not let it distroy you. What happened to you and your mother was horrible but listen to me, you didn't realize because you will always have a part of your mother in you, Always. No matter where you are, What you're doing, how old you are or who you're with your mother will always be with you and she will always love you" half way through my speech Melody slowly stopped crying and looked up into my eyes and as our eyes connected I realized something, something I didn't think was possible for me but It was "as do I" I said not breaking eye contact, "Wait what?" she replied with pure happiness in her eyes "Melody Rose Thorne. I. Love. You." I said kissing her in between words "I love you too" She said turning our kiss into a powerful one filled with love.

~Elena's POV~

It was early in the morning about half six and I had woke up to a horrible feeling. The feeling of loss, not one as strong as when a loved one dies but the feeling of loss when someone you love leaves and you have no idea where they are and you'd kill to just see their face. I know I was hard on Melody and now she's been gone a week and I miss her so much, I get updates of her well-being from Damon and Stefan but it's not the same so I picked up my phone and called Melody but he phone went straight to voice mail so I left a message "Hey Mels, It's me Elena. I miss you, I know I'm the last one to admit I'm wrong but for you'll I'll make an exception. Since you left Jer's not talking to me because he misses you too even though he wont admit it, I miss our talks, our movies and our binge days. Damon explained what happened and now I know everything and oh boy I couldn't have been more wrong but Mels I wanted you to know your room is still yours waiting for you too come home. I'm sorry" and with that I hung up and went back to bed.
