Tatia's P.O.V

I get myself together, fix my hair and walk by everyone staring at me and just smile putting my mask back on. I gather my things and no one says a word as they watch me place all my things in the living room, waiting for Chad.

"Are you really leaving?" Elena said finally breaking the silence

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because he loves someone else and I'm not going to waste anymore of my life thinking, wanting, craving, praying that he'll love me again. You either love me or not. You know I waited all this time to muster up enough of my courage to find my answer and now that I have it, ( I lift my arms in surrender) and you know what he cares for someone else and I'm not going to be second. I let that happen to many times in my life. I want romance Elena! I want something! For once in my miserable! disappointment of a life!! I want what you have. A true man who would do anything for you as you would do the same for him." I let a few tears fall as Elena and Stefan looked at each other and Damon sticking his hands in his pockets looking down and back at me like he understood exactly how I felt.

"Come visit me sometime in Baltimore." 

"Tatia. You don't have to go-"

"Yes I do Elena. I don't want to intrude or stand in your way for happiness. It's time I found some of my own and besides I have people who look up to me to lead them. I can't abandon them."

"Tatia. How are you- so- brave?"

"The truth?" she nods her head as I hear my ride approaching. I  grab her gently by both arms lean down into her ear.

"The truth is Elena, I'm absolutely terrified. I have no clue what I'm doing. But I never let it show and neither should you. Because people will use it against you. You too are a brave girl Elena but only when you choose to be." I back away from her and look at everyone one last time, kissing all of them on the cheek and hugging them before zooming to the car with my things as Chad drives off."

"Take me home Chad dear."

he nods and speeds up taking us to an airport in first class. I will never see any of them ever again.
