musing_way Prompt 87 -- Moving Forward

[tranquilmirror]

It's hard. It's much harder than I'm sure we thought it would be when we left home.

I miss Damon so much. I thought the pain would go away the more distance we put between us and where we had known them. But it hasn't made the heartache ease any.

Oh, there are times that I can pretend that it doesn't hurt and I can pretend that everything is just fine with me. There are times that I can pretend to be just a normal girl involved in college and work.

But then, I'll see something that reminds me of Damon and I have to get away before I break down completely.

I don't go home when this happens, though. Katherine is having just as hard of a time moving forward from Stefan as I am, and it just wouldn't be fair for her to have to deal with me falling apart, too.

I'm trying, I really am. I just never realized that it would still hurt so much after all of this time.

Ok, you do have a point. The two of you dancing around each other...

I didn't think I was what he wanted!

[tranquilmirror]

And I didn't think I was what Damon wanted!

We were idiots.

But they were bigger ones.

[tranquilmirror]

Much bigger ones.
