Damon Salvatore x Rose

Hi... I guess I should start, right?

My name is Rose. I'm 25 years old, and if I'm being honest, my life feels a little... messy right now.

Not long ago, I was in a relationship with someone I thought I could trust. His name was Noah. I really believed in us-like really believed. But that ended when I found out he was cheating on me... with a girl named Daisy. Yeah. Not exactly a gentle way for things to fall apart.

It hurt. More than I like to admit.

So now, here I am-trying to piece myself back together. Some days I feel strong, like I've got this. Other days... not so much. But I'm learning. Slowly.

Oh-and there's something else about me that literally everyone seems to know. My parents, my friends, even the neighbors (which is still embarrassing)... I have a massive crush on Damon Salvatore.

I mean, can you blame me? The attitude, the charm, the danger... yeah, I know he's fictional, but still.

It's kind of become a joke at this point-"Rose and Damon," they say, like it's some kind of inevitable love story waiting to happen.

I usually just laugh it off.

But... who knows?

Life's already proven it can surprise me in the worst ways.

Maybe it's time it surprises me in a better one.
