AN: Okay so this is another story I had written out on paper. The inspiration came from an Evanesence song called Missing; hence the title of this story. I am way to eager to post up for my other story so I decided to start this one as well. I already have chapter 3 to surrender of the heart all edited and uploaded, I just need to add it to the story. I plan on waiting till midnight so it will post for tomorrow but if you want I can post it sooner for my readers of that story. Well here goes and read and review. Thanks- Julie

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, all characters belong to the brilliant L.J. Smith.

~*~Bonnie P.O.V~*~

It has been a week since Damon miraculously returned from the Dark Demention. It is still a mystery as to how that is at all possible since the Gaurdian's said they couldn't bring a

vampire back from the dead. Of course dying did nothing to change Damon's sarcastic, arrogant, and egotistic attitude. It was almost as if him dying had never happened… enough about

that sad day. I am just happy that he is alive and well. ( As alive as a vampire can be anyways.) Despite his I-could-care-less attitude, I still know there is good in Damon. I know that he

behaves the way he does to hide his true feelings; afraid to show vulnerability. I can't judge him for this because I am still hiding my true feelings for him for this very reason. I am in love

with a man, or rather, vampire, who is in love with my best friend. Who can blame him though? Elena Gilbert is strong, confident, and beautiful… and I'm… well I am just plain old Bonnie.

I let out a sigh. What chance have I against Elena?

"Bonnie?"- Meredith's voice broke through my rambling thoughts. I looked up to meet my friends gaze. Her usually serene face was pinched with worry. "Sorry Mere. I was just lost in my

thoughts as usual." I murmured. "Well, as I was saying, Elena wants us to stay the weekend over at the boarding house. She said something about spending normal quality time

together." She sighed.

"Sounds great. It would be nice to do something normal-well as normal as it can be with vampires." I giggled at the thought of hanging out with vampires as normal. Who am I to talk

though, after all I am a psychic and a witch.

"Okay. So I will drop you off at your house so you can pack and I will be back around six to pick you up." She said.

I nodded and stared out the window of the passenger seat in Meredith's car. I glanced at the neighborhood in awe. Everything seemed normal. It was almost as if the horrible kitsune

attack upon the town never happened. I shuddered at the gruesome memory of possessed children with their bright glowing eyes, and their bodies twisted in unnatural positions. The

same memories that were my current nightmares.

I shook my head of those thoughts before they could threaten to take over my mind. Suddenly a normal weekend with friends sounded even more appealing than before.

When Meredith pulled over in front of my house, I got out after thanking her for the ride and headed inside. Once in the safe confines of my home I went straight to my room. The clock

on my nightstand read 3:30pm so I hopped in the shower since I had time to spare before Meredith came to pick me up. I let the hot water beat down on my stress filled muscles until

they finally loosened up. I got out and dressed, and started packing for the weekend. I packed up things for all sorts of activities being as I had no idea what was in store for this weekend.

Once I was done, I made sure to pack my diary and ipod. I was packed up and ready do I checked the time. 5:45pm. I wrote a quick note to my parents explaining that I was spending

the weekend with Elena and Meredith. Yes I know I am 18 but since I am the baby of the family they would still panic if I wasn't home without knowing where I was. Once that was done,

I got my things to wait outside for Meredith. I didn't have to wait long because she pulled up to my house within minutes.

The ride to the boarding house was quiet. I was again lost in my thoughts. I was both excited and nervous for the weekend. I was excited because Damon was going to be there, and

nervous because I knew it wasn't going to be pleasant watching him try to win over Elena's heart. I quickly shook off those thoughts and made a silent vow to myself to try to have fun

and make the most of this "normal" weekend.
