You Are Worth Saving {COMPLETED ✔️}

Sixty-Four

Abby

It's been a week... A whole week without any word from Damon... I mean, I am the one who said we had to take a break, but I thought he would text me. Just like he texted me the first day. But he hasn't...

He just texted me that day. The last thing he sent was 'I love you' which is sweet, but I didn't want that to be the last thing I would hear from him! I mean, I called and texted him a day later, but he still hasn't respond. I talked to Stefan about it, but he says he hasn't seen Damon either.

I hate this. Not knowing what is going on. Elena says he might took his distance and left for a while. That's okay, but he could've told me! I mean, what am I supposed to do now? Just wait for him to come home?

I told him we would get back together whenever I was ready. Actually, I feel a lot better than last week. Yes, I still have nightmares, but I am doing a lot better. I can actually smile now. The first few days, I had to force a smile. Nothing made me really smile.

I don't think anyone could blame me! Yes, I was finally back home, but I was traumatized and I just pressed pauze on the best relationship of my life! How can a woman smile?

Honestly, I don't feel much traumatized anymore. I can easily sit in a car without seeing other cars that aren't there, I can sleep full nights without dreaming about my experience, I can think about Damon without feeling scared, I am doing great!

Well, not as great as I would be knowing where Damon is and what he is up to...

I walk downstairs and see Elena and Alaric in the kithcen. They both smile when they see me. "Morning, Abby," Alaric says. "Morning, any word from Damon yet?" I ask. It is the first thing I ask for a few days now.

"Nope," Alaric says. I sigh and take a seat at the table. Elena walks towards me and puts her hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, Ab, he is just keeping his distance like you asked! He is actually doing the right thing for once!" she says. I get annoyed, she is not even trying to hide how happy she is.

I look at my hands. She may be right, but something seems off. First, he would tell me if he would leave town. Second, he wouldn't leave town all of a sudden! He hated the idea of us being seperated, why would he seperate us even more? And third, the last time we texted he told me he was looking for doctor Martin.

I may sound crazy, but it freaks me out! Why is that the last thing he told me? It can't be right!

"You know, I think we just have to help you get your mind off of him," Alaric says, "why don't you do something fun today?" I look at him. He is right. If Damon really left by himself, he will show up again. Maybe he needs some time alone just like I did.

Besides, I have a day off today. Plus, Luke already asked me to hang out or do something fun. So why not?

I stand up and nod. "Okay, I will text Luke and do something fun today," I say. Alaric and Elena smile. "I am proud of you," Elena says. I know she hopes I will fall in love with Luke all over again, but I won't. Luke and I won't ever be a thing. Besides, my heart is already taken by someone else. Someone who is clearly not in the mood to answer his phone!

An hour later I sit on the couch in the living room. Luke told me he would be here any minute now. He asks to hang out today, so that's what we're gonna do. I am not in the mood to hang out at my house, so I told him I wanted to go into town.

Luke, being the sweetheart he is, told me he would pick me up and drive me anywhere I want to go. But that actually made me think... Maybe I have a better plan for today...

The bell rings. I stand up and open the door. Luke stands there with a smile on his face. "Hey Abby," he says. "Hey," I say and hug him.

"What do you want to do today?" He asks when we let go of each other. "Let's just get in the car and see then, okay?" I ask. Luke nods and we walk outside.
