Chapter 4

Kali's POV

The next morning, I get up and start looking at the map on my phone trying to decide where I am going to go next. Jeremy walks into the room and sits on the couch next to me. "What's up?" he asked. "Nothing just trying to figure out where I am headed to next." I tell him. He looks at me shocked and asked "Why aren't you staying?" I just shrugged and said, "I need to figure some things out. I am leaving tomorrow." He looks at me and smiles and says "Then let's go to the falls and have a going away party." I look at him and smile weakly, "That's okay Jeremy. But thanks." He stands up and says "Nope. You are leaving us so we get to give you a proper send off." I can't help but smile. "You can ride with me and Matt. Be ready in an hour." he tells me.

A couple of hours later, I am sitting in the front of Matt's truck, looking at the falls watching Elena, Bonnie and Caroline dance in the headlights. I am going to miss Bonnie. A lot but I have to go. "What are you thinking about?" Matt asked. "Just how much I am going to Bonnie. You guys too." I tell him and I feel my eyes starting to mist. "Then don't leave." he tells me. "I have to, Matt. Trust me." I say and he kisses my cheek and heads out to the cooler for another beer. I close my eyes with my feet on the dash and my beer in my hand and I feel someone sit down next to me. Opening my eyes, I see Damon sitting in the driver seat looking at me. "What?" I asked, laughing a little. "You're really leaving?" he asked. "Awe, big bad vampire gonna miss me?" I asked drunkenly. "Maybe." he says and I laugh. Before he can say anything else, Elena comes up and grabs his hand, glaring at me and pulls him from the truck. Yep, good thing I am leaving. Matt comes back to the truck and I asked him, "Can you take me back to Bonnie's please?" He looks at me concerned and says, "Let me tell Bonnie we are heading out." I nod my head and sink into the seat.

The entire ride back to Bonnie's, I don't say a word. I just look out the window. "What's wrong, Kali? And please don't say nothing." he asked. "Have you ever just felt drawn to someone but knew it would never come of anything?" I asked him. Glancing at me he asked "Damon?" I just nod my head yes. "Well, what do you want to happen?" he asked me. "In a perfect world? I would at least get the chance to get to know him but that won't happen. That's why I am leaving. I just feel a connection with him and I can't explain it but he has a girlfriend so it will never happen." I tell him and he just pulls me to him in a side hug. Pulling up to the front of the house, I get out and thank Matt for the ride. As he pulls off, I know what I need to do.

Walking into the house, I pack my things up and sit down to write Bonnie a note.

Sissy,

I know I told you that I would stay longer but I need to go. While I wish that I could stay here and build a life here, I know that can't happen so I decided to leave tonight. Don't worry about me. I don't know where I am going yet but I will check in from time to time to let you know I am okay. Take care of yourself.

I do have something I want to say to your friends. Caroline, thanks for making me feel like I gained another sister. I will always be thankful for how welcome you made me feel. Jeremy, take care of my sister. She deserves someone that loves her like you do. Stefan, I appreciate the few times that we did get to talk. I will keep what you said in mind. Matt, thanks for letting me vent last night. You really are a great guy. Damon and Elena, I wish you two nothing but love and happiness. I hope you all take care of each other.

Bonnie, one more thing. Remember that I love you and I will still be there if you need me.

Your Sister Witch...K

I placed it on her pillow so that she would find it and walked out to my car and drove out of Mystic Falls.

I spent the next several hours driving and thinking about Damon. There was just something about him that I just felt comfortable with. I felt like there was something there worth looking into but then there was Elena. She couldn't even stand the thought of him talking to me or even being in the same room with me. I might as well accept it. I will be alone forever.

After a few more hours, I see the sign for Memphis, Tennessee. I find a cheap hotel and get a room. Once inside, I shower and lay on the bed and cry myself to sleep wondering what Damon was doing right now.
