[ elena has ensconced herself in the bathroom -- it's her turn to record a goodbye, and she doesn't want to do it in front of anyone else. at first she has no idea who to address the message to -- she only has enough time for one message, and she has so many people she wants to say goodbye to.
eventually she settles on damon, because... because they never did get around to that talk, and she wants to make sure he knows that she loved him. that may be more cruel than kind in the long run, but she doesn't want to die and leave damon with the wrong idea.
with a deep breath, she opens up a video feed on her communicator, the communication riddled with static, and forces a smile. ]
Hey, Damon. I don't have a lot of time, someo▒▒▒▓▓ ░░▒▒▒▓▓ ▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░ ░░░░░░ome in and record their, uh. Last goodbyes, I guess ▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒░░▒▒▒▓▓░░ after I'm done. I just -- I wanted to tell you...
[ another deep breath. ]
I love you. I love you so much, Damon. I wish we h▒▒▒░░░ten around to that talk so I could have told you in person, but I guess this will have to do. I loved you when I chose Stefan and I'm sorry I never told you. I loved you when I ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒▒▒ ░░░░░░░░░ in Denver, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you then, too. I hope -- I hope you can forgive me for never ▒▒▒▓▓░░ ▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░. I was afraid of what it would mean if I did, but I'm not afraid now. I love you. ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░▒▒▒▓▓▒▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░
[ she wipes at her eyes and sniffles, trying very hard not to just start outright crying. ]
Take care of Jenna and Ric, okay? Please don't let them blame themselves t▒▒▓ ▒▒░░much for this. I know that they're going to feel like it's their fault for ▓▓▒ ▒░░ing me stay back but it isn't. Make sure they're okay.
And tell Caroline I'm sorry that we fought. I really hate that ▓▓▒▒ ░░▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░rsation we got to have. I hope things work out for her and Tyler -- oh, and tell Tyler I'm still really sorry ▒▒▒▒▓▓▒ spoilers.
I love you, Damon. I hope whatever version of me comes here next can admit that ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░ ▒▒▒▓▓▒ ▒▒▒▓▓▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░.
[ the feed shuts off, and turns instead to static and white noise.
pretty speech, elena. too bad it went to the wrong person. ]
