After death to the future (The Vampire Diaries & Delena Fanfiction)

Chapter 1. Part of our life, which we'll miss forever

Only a few hours have passed since the farewell to Stefan, and each of us feels emptiness. Each of us seems to have lost a part that can never be returned. The part that is unforgettable and its loss hurts incredibly.

Each of us grieve differently. We all were affected by this great lost, but Damon's grief was the worst. After losing his brother, the only blood relative family he had left, he sits at their family tomb, sipping a bourbon, as he often did with Stefan. Caroline couldn't do it mentally and had to leave with Alaric. I decided to go home too and Matt offered to accompany me. I didn't want to leave Damon alone, but I knew he would want to stay there. I couldn't look at him anymore...The sight was just too painful.

When I sat down and hugged him, he said nothing, just drank from his glass as his clear blue eyes began to fill with tears and I felt all of his pain.

"Damon, honey. I'm so sorry, you know...Stefan will miss each of us. It's not your fault, no one's fault. He just wanted a good life for you, for his big brother, because he knew how much you wanted to be human and live your life with me without Katherine. I just want to tell you that I'm going home because I'm very tired and I'm not feeling well. Matt wants to accompany me home, if you don't mind."

After a while, he put his hand on my face and softly kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Elena. Go home and get some rest. And please , never mention the name of that bitch again."

I nodded and kissed him." I love you too Damon, I'll see you later and please don't do anything stupid."

A long walk to Salvatore mansion with Matt helped me. When we were finally there, I told him a few things.

"Mattie, thank you for everything. I know how much you hate vampires and all that stuff about it, but you always accepted my decisions and you are still my friend."

"Elena, come on. We know each other since childhood, we dated together and have a history in common. You're like my sister and you'll always be." I looked at him, we hugged and said goodbye.

When Matt left, I went to the mansion. It's so big, and now I'm all alone here. It looks scary, especially silence, but it's all in my head. I realized I hadn't written in my diary for a long time. The last time we were at Jo and Alaric's wedding, I found some time to write a few sentences. Before that idiot Kai had cast a long sleep spell on me. But I am very grateful for my friends and the love of my life , because they wrote down everything , almost every day. When I read all their notes in my diary, I had so many tears falling down my cheeks, at that moment I could've cried a river.

So I thought, it was about a time to write something...

Dear diary,

Long time no see. It's been a long time since I last held you in my hands. So many things have happened that I can't write about. I feel anxious and lost. Sometimes I only sit outside on the stairs and start crying. This world took from me my closest people. It started with my parents and now Stefan. He was so happy, just a short time ago he married Caroline. And now he's dead, because of Katherine. The woman he loved. The woman, who ruined his life. But Damon .... I'm really worried about him. How do we get back to our lives? This will be really painful time of our lives, especially for Caroline. She's very strong, but this hurts her very much. But who wouldn't be hurt? I hope Stefan will find peace.

I love you Stef, you were my first epic love, you were my hero. You sacrificed yourself for me, your brother and Caroline. I know you are looking at us from above and you wished we wouldn't be grieving.

I couldn't write any more... I grabbed my diary and went inside. I promised Damon that I would rest, and so I did.

Thank God there's a couch down here. I laid down on the couch , when Stefan's bourbon got into my sight.

"Hmm....Why not?" I said and went for a bottle of bourbon. I drank a little of it and fell asleep a few minutes later.

Three hours later

"Holly crap!" I woke up and heard big rumble. Human must be really deaf, to not hear it. "Damon?" I asked. No answer, just something fell. This something was Damon.

"Hey babe, what are you doing? Don't tell me, you're drunk like this. You must be kidding me." He only nodded with head , because he's totally out of reality. Okay Elena, you need to calm down. He lost his brother, so it's normal.

"C'mon babe, I'll take you upstairs to our bedroom." He's so heavy. Please, I want some title for this, because as long as I drag him into the room, I'm going to be a bodybuilder. I admit, that I'm a little drunk too.

I helped him go to bed and covered him with a blanket. I laid to him and kissed his cheek.

"I love you Damon Salvatore, It doesn't matter what happened and what will happens in our lives. We can handle everything together."
