"LOLA?" Jeremy Gilbert looks at the girl in front of him. She is staring through a large window, the sun colors her red hair almost orange, she looks real and not real at the same time.


When she turns around she smiles at him and laughs, "Jeremy."


He laughs back at her and tries to hug her, but his arms reach right trough. There is nothing in the space that the girl is occupying.


"What happened?" Lola looks at the ground at this question, a tear drops from her eye onto the floor.


"I died Jeremy, I died for real this time." She is almost happy with this, the fact that she doesn't have to live another lifetime, that she is free of the mortal world.


Yet, another tear escapes her.


"I have so many things I haven't told them yet." She shakes her head in disbelief and wipes her eyes dry with her sleeve. Jeremy keeps staring at her.


"Would you write them down?"


"Write what down?" Jeremy asks the lonely girl standing in his bedroom.


"My last words."


Dear all,


There comes a day- for every person on this earth, when it is time to go. My day has come many times before, but I am afraid that this is the last time.


When I arrived in Mystic Falls I told myself that all I wanted was a peaceful, happy life. This was a lie. All I wanted was the truth, the truth about myself, about the world, about my parents. I have learned two of those truths and I ask you now to figure out the third.


Lay me to rest in Mystic Falls, so my cousin and aunt can come to visit me whenever they want. They are the last family I have left on this earth.


As for Katerina, try to find your own peace on this world. Even if it isn't exactly what you want.


Damon, the light that you cast upon my world of shadows is one I will never forget. You made me laugh during times I didn't even think I could anymore. I felt like an empty shell, but with you around I never felt like anyone would step on me.


Elena, you have been a close ally and friend. Even when some secrets got spilled, even when you learned what Stefan meant to me, you stood by my side. Thank you.


Caroline and Liz, your love has meant everything to me. I know that I wasn't around the last couple of months, due to being kidnapped by Klaus and such, but I love you with all of my broken heart.


There you are then, Stefan Salvatore, all cropped up in your humanity less life. You'll be back and you'll read this letter and you will feel all the guilt in the world. Don't.


This was my responsibility, and I reveled in having it. Something of my own, something to die for.


Stefan, my greatest regret in life is that I never got to take your name. And that we never had our wedding dance, I practiced way too hard. Dying one day before we got to do it for real really hurt.


To all of the Mystic Falls Gang, who welcomed me into their lives with so much love. Thank you.


Isn't it poetic, that my final death was by Klaus's hands? If you see the bastard again, send him my love.


I never wanted to live forever anyway.


Love,


Lorelei, Lilyanna, Paloma, Dolores and every other name that I ever got to use.


Love,


LOLA.
