Not exactly paradise (tvd)

Part 20

I walked to my hotel room. It was small. Like really small, but it was enough. I took up the little bag with my clothes, and found all my stuff, and walked out the door.

I wanted to start again. Somewhere else. I had thought about it for a while. Moving to another city. Outside of Mystic Falls. Where I would never have to see Damon again, or anyone else I knew. Start again, blank pages.

I took up the keys to the hotel room, went to the lobby and gave away the keys.

I went to the boarding house, to say goodbye, and this time for good.

Damon opend the door. I had already started crying.

I hugged him.

"Bye Damon."

"What?"

"I'm leaving. I'm sorry"

"I love you Elena."

"I love you too." I said, kissing him softly on his lips.

Caroline came to the door.

"I'm gonna miss you" i whispered in his ear. And went to Caroline.

"Oh I'm gonna miss you Caroline."

"Elena what are you talking about?"

"I'm leaving. This place just isn't right for me anymore."

I could see that Caroline started crying.

She hugged me tight.

"Don't leave Elena."

"I'm sorry."

I gripped away from the hug.

"I love you both. Goodbye"

I walked away. Damon looked hurt, I could see he had tears in his eyes, even thought he tryed to hide it. Caroline were crying. God I would miss them.

I winked to them, they winked back. And then I couldn't see them anymore.

I found a train station. One of the trains went to New York, Manhatten.

I went and bought a ticket. The train went 10 minutes later. So I waited. The train finally came.

I went into the train. Found a place to sit. And just looked out the window.

It was raining, not the best weather ever. It was pouring actually. Some rain drops got to the window of the train. I could see them fall longer, and longer down the window until they were gone, and more rain drops came.

I wasn't shure about this. Not 100%. My head said this was right, but deep down inside it didn't seem totally right.

The train tour would take hours.

And all I could do was sit and look out.

Look at the rain, pouring dwon over the city I had lived in all my life. Never been outside of.

(50 minutes later)

"Brandon?"

"Elena?"

He went towards the seat beside and sat down.

"What are you doing here?

"Moving, I guess"

"Why?"

"New start?"

"Why?"

"I've lived here all my life, I've never been outside Mystic Falls before. Or I have, but that was like 10 minutes from MF, you understand what I mean?" I said.

"Have you cryed?"

I took up my phone, and went on the camera, so I could see myself. My eyes were swollen and red.

"Oh, I guess I have. You know, saying goodbye to my friends and all."

"I'm sorry"

"Thanks, but theres nothing to be sorry about. What are you doing here?"

"I'm gonna visit someone in New York."

"Who?"

"My sister, she's sick, cancer"

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"Me too. She called me yeasterday, and said that she were going to die soon. She found out she had cancer for some months ago, it was too late. It had already spread to her hole body."

"Have you visited her at the hospital before?"

"No, I haven't had money for it before now"

We sat in silence a little while, but not the total akward one.

"I know how it is to lose someone" i finally said. "I've lost my real parents, my adopted parents, my aunt. I know pain, you could almost say it's my middle name."

"What is your hole name actually?"

"My name is Elena Gilbert, yours?"

"Brandon Parker."

"Well, it's nice to meet you again Brandon Parker"
