there, in front me stood nathan his body a little taller and he looks more mature than the last time I saw him. he now has facial hair and a tattoo on his neck.

my eyes watered and I hugged him tightly as sobs escaped my lips, he's alive....he's not dead. he's in front of me.

this is real and not a memory in my head or a thought.

he held me tightly and said " I am sorry, I am so sorry am." his tone breaking towards the end, hearing his voice after so long somehow made me forget all about what's going on around me.

I feel safe and all the numbness I felt is fading out, it's like it's just me and him now.

he tightened his hold on me making me smile then pulled away and said "we have to go now.", I looked back to the dark venue and followed him to the black tinted SUV.

realization hit me, what is he doing here and how did he get contact with domenico?

he opened the door for me and I got in then waited for him to get in as well so I can ask. this is dangerous and I don't want him to risk his life for me.

doesn't mean domenico has to but he at least is used to these kind of stuff, nathan on the other hand isn't.

he got in and looked at me his amber eyes giving me a feeling of comfort that I haven't felt in so long.

he smiled at me and I smiled back, not a fake one but a genuine one because I am happy. everything that happened doesn't hurt as much anymore.

I took a deep breath as the SUV started moving and asked "how are you with domenico?", his smile dropped and he looked down which he only does when he doesn't want to confront someone.

he always did it after eating my snacks.

he looked up again and said "it's all complicated....I don't want you to I don't know...hate me.", a frown replaced my smile and I said "just tell me".

he let out a sigh and said "my name isn't nathan...it's damon domenico romano." before looking at me for any reaction.

I blinked at his statement and once it settled in my head my mouth hang open unable to form words.

that means he's the one I will be engaged to....

a part of me is happy and glad because I know I can get away without worrying about it being a trap but the other part of me is just shocked.

he pinched the crook of his nose and said "let me explain first, hear me out and then you can yell at me or scold me, even hit me if you want. just let me explain please.".

I just nodded because this needs an explaination, I've known for 6 or 7 years? just for him to not be who I thought he was?

(I will change the font of when he speaks because the explaination is very long)

that made me frown because he broke up with me, we were fine.

as if reading my thoughts he continued"

that's true he never breaks his promises, even if they are as silly as wearing shriek on valentines day with me.

that's partly true but..I don't know at this point I don't know how to take what he's saying.

if only he knew it was a lie, would things be different now?

he wasn't, he was truly everything I wanted that's why I got hurt when we broke up. I wouldn't have if he didn't treat me well.

that's why he seemed a bit off before he got mad.

now it all makes sense, the glow in his eyes whenever I said I wanted to marry a damon just to call him damon salvatore.

that's why he didn't visit!

levi...

explain? but why? I mean it doesn't include me...unless it does.

I would've...he always has this look on his face that makes me feel safe...it makes me feel like I can tell him everything and not be afraid of what he would think of me because he knows me so well.

at that a frown made it's way to my face...he will pay for everything. I won't back away.

it's like his words set something in me, that night...that man with the black mask and golden shade in his brown eyes. it was him...

my mother..

.his voice broke and a tear escaped his eyes breaking my heart even more.

he looked at me with his now glossy amber eyes and said

that made my eyes water and I shook my head as a no, I need him to pay painfully. torture isn't enough it should be mental because that's the greatest torture of everything else.

he frowned and I said "I want to do it, I want to make him suffer."., he nodded and said "whatever it is I am with you.".

I looked at him finding it kind of hard to believe that not only is he alive but he's also damon romano...

the guy I knew for 6 years is actually damon and not nathan...but his personality is the same.

he still cares about me and I know it by his eyes, he's looking at me just like he always did when I was upset or feeling down.

I am not exactly mad at him, I am just confused and need time to process everything.
