Always Forever

Sired Bond🪢

While her mother was away Tatiana was having a hard time.... she knew that Elena was sired to Damon and for some odd reason he wasn't doing anything about it and just like her mother would she gave him a choice.... she told him what he had to do and she waited for him to do it.... "it's her sadness isn't it?!.... you're afraid she'll be sad!"  Tatiana asks "w-wha-!?!"  Damon replies "it's alright!.... I'm just trying to understand....!"  she says softly as though she was sighing then after a short pause she asks "did you know that other than you there is only one person I have ever felt this close too?!.... like my mother I have never felt the fullness of love.... just half of it.... but unlike my mother the other person I felt close to is not a family member of yours.... you're in love with her and quite possibly using me! but that's ok!.... I understand!.... I'm just around to fill that void she leaves within you.... it's the reason my mother and Katerina have never gotten along she always felt like the filler of my fathers, Uncle Klaus's and Mikael's void.... letting them love another woman because she knows what it will do to their hearts if she MAKES them choose!.... a vampire will love a lot of someone's their entire life.... once they fall they can never pick themselves up unless they CHOOSE to! and that rarely happens.... especially for my mother! now I'm letting you choose! I'm giving you time!.... I don't understand WHY I care about you I just know that I do! and even though we have never done what you have done with Elena.... by my choosing!.... who knows maybe that's why you stopped caring! because I never let you IN the way she did!.... I'm not ready for that!.... these feelings are too new for me!.... hell I never even let the other man in that far for they were even newer then than they are now but at least he was never like you! and he got even less than you did from me!.... I had hoped that you would honor my decision like he did but it seems that you can't! or won't!.... I know what love is Damon but I don't know what this type of love is!.... and like my mother I like to make sure that it's complete, whole and true before I say those words out loud!.... why is it that you are so afraid of what I thought you felt for me!?!.... if you think you aren't worthy then you are wrong!.... if you're afraid of what my mother might do....!"  she pauses then says "she was happy when we started dating.... when I started showing "signs" of how much I cared! she was worried that I would become like she once was and not be able to feel these emotions! or maybe it has something to do with the rest of my family.... my father who has been nothing but kind.... in his own way to you no matter what you did to him!.... my aunt and uncles!.... you shouldn't hate one member just because you hate the rest!.... we are still our own people.... I.... I think we should take a break!.... that's what people do right!?!.... "take a break".... you seem to have FAR too much on your mind to add me into that small crowded space!.... hell! I don't even see whatever it was I saw in you before!.... wait!.... yes I do!.... you are the perfect mix of Klaus, Mikael, Kol and Rebekah all rolled into one when I need someone more like my father and Finn.... I'm not sorry YOU are the one who should be sorry!.... oh and by the way unlike Elena who seems to love both of you.... I only care about you!.... it has always been you and only you but no longer for it seems you had made your choice.... goodbye Damon!"  she stands and walks out of the Salvatore home Damon stares at her in surprise with a sadness in his eyes as he reaches for her and tries to grip her hand before she could get too far away but he was too slow or perhaps she was too fast.... while listening to her talk all he wanted to do was kiss her but he wanted her to let whatever she had to say to him flow freely out of her as he always had done and once again he had ruined a "good thing going" in his life.... but she probably feels like the third wheel right now a toy he "had fun" playing with and that hurt more than anything....
