Hold On, I Still Need You

10

Hey beautiful people,

I can't believe this is the tenth chapter, when it feels like I just begun working on it. I want to thank all over the readers I have reading this and encouraging me to keep going with it. Every single reader means the world to me, I love you all. This story has been so enjoyable to write and the reaction has been great.

This chapter was some more just fluffy moments and I hope it is enjoyable because its a struggle to write. As I wrote it, it felt very blah so hopefully you like it. Everyday life is a lot harder to write than you would think but super cute. I have found in writing this that Happiness is the harder emotion to write and that is what makes these chapters so hard. Writing grief and pain and suffering is so much easier to do like in the beginning of this story. 

The next chapter is going to be a big one, the start of the awaited honeymoon which is so exciting. I am hoping I can capture it well in writing and do it justice because they deserve it.

Thanks again, beautiful people and I love you all. If you want or need someone to talk to know I am here, always.

Damon opened his eyes and felt a warmth inside him that hadn't been there before. The blood coursing through his veins and subtle thumping of his heart, this was it. He smiled and looked up at Bonnie, he had truly missed being human. "Thank you so much Bon Bon." He said and he threw his arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug.

Bonnie hugged him back and thought for a moment I don't have anymore friends that are vampires. She honestly didn't think this would ever be reality, ever see this happen. But she also didn't think she would see Elena again so things have really changed. Bonnie stayed in his embrace for the longest time before pulling away "Don't you have a beach to get to?" She ask with a smile.

Damon looked at her with the biggest smile plastered on his face. "Yes, actually I do but if you need anything call me. I will rush right back Bonnie Bennett." He said and walked out of kitchen, back to Elena. "You ready to get going babe?"

Elena walked out of the bathroom and smiled at him "Yes I am." She answered, taking his hand. She smiled even bigger when it wasn't ice cold against her own. She knew exactly what had happened without even asking "Let's make the best of our human lives, Damon Salvatore."

He smiled, dipping her into a kiss "Let's." He walked out and threw their bags in the back of the Camero before going around to open her door. He had spent 154 years as a vampire but not one of them made him this happy. He had his girl and they were human together.

Stefan packed the picnic basket and sensed someone walk up behind him "Care?" He ask.

Caroline smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek "Yes? Are you ready to go?"

He nodded and took her hand, walking out to the car, occasionally glancing over at her. Stefan smiled at the thought of this being the first day of their life together, well that wasn't filled with hurt. She was his and he was hers and that is all he wanted for the rest of his life. Stefan opened the door for her and gestured towards the letter in her hand "What you got Care?" he said as he got in the car.

Caroline looked down at it and then up at him "Just a letter" She said and took his free hand in hers. "You can read it at this mysterious picnic, it's not much." Caroline smiled at him as he pulled out of the driveway. She had brought the letter because she felt that he deserved to read it. She had wrote it the night of their wedding and should have thrown it away when he returned, but it made everything a reality. She still had moments when this all felt to good to be real, that it was all a dream and she would wake up. She rubbed her thumb against his knuckles and a smile appeared on her face. He was there and promised to not go anywhere.
