When I see you again
It was a dark night, as Damon walked, a bottle of Bourbon in hand, trying to live the best he knew how without Elena. As he did so, memories surfaced of the six years he had known and been with her, one way or another.
*The Turning Point/Bloodlines*

It was a dark night on a desolate road, as Elena desperately tried to get her seat belt off in her upside down car. She needed to get out so she could at least try to get away. There was a vampire in a black hoodie approaching. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAkTG6Cu0qfY
When Damon heard Elena scream once, he headed towards her scent trail at vamp-speed, assuming she was in peril. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAsvhbdsJlYo
When he got there, he saw her in her upside down car. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAeG4wOKrBvq
He was instantly at her driver's door, where the glass window was shattered. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAEqO6xQP5j5
After she told him that her seat belt was stuck, he told her to put her hands on the roof, which she did. 527Please respect copyright.PENANA3NFk075fSx
He reached in and snapped the seat belt in half. He then carried her out of the wreckage and walked a ways, before stopping and looking down at her. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAKNZfuubzcP
"Are you okay? Anything broken?"527Please respect copyright.PENANAE1bKce1dxH
She shook her head and he set her on her feet. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAduMXmNPLjY
When she almost lost her balance, he steadied her and then looked her over. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAIIubWcZ286
"Look at me, Elena." He gently tilted her head to make her look at him. "Focus, Elena." He rested gentle hands on either side of her head. "Focus."527Please respect copyright.PENANAGZqEjDZ6HY
"I look like crap," she commented. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAnzVuiLTvrC
"What?" he asked. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAiU0SOansYi
A moment later, everything went black for her. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAFVrrO2hcN1
He caught her with vamp agility, hand between her shoulder blades, arm holding her up, and silently looked down at her. He then looked around at the night, before looking back at her. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAWWVpkm92um
He gently picked her up in his arms, as he said, "Upsie daisy." He then walked away with her in his arms.527Please respect copyright.PENANAxiEHpRPRjr

527Please respect copyright.PENANAB68EsH638b
The next night, in Georgia, she saved his life from a vengeful vampire. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAETRUE1JpaW
After that, he drove himself and her back home in Mystic Falls.

It was a dark night, as he lay in his bed, Elena beside him, him dying from a werewolf bite and was just moments from death, Elena comforting him and doing her best to hold it together, as she watched him slip slowly away.
He closed his eyes, unable to keep them open much longer.
A moment later, he felt her kiss him, knowing the cure may or may not come in time.
"Thank...you," he whispered. 527Please respect copyright.PENANA1UDHxoxYcC
"You're welcome," she softly replied.

After vampire Ric who was bound to Elena due to Esther, fell dead, Damon knew without a doubt that she was dead. His heart broke, because though she had been with his brother, Stefan, for the past three years of her life, Damon loved her too.
"You are not dead," he said in a broken voice. 527Please respect copyright.PENANA9y35sR0R2h
527Please respect copyright.PENANAP3kFYoN6Z9
Later, he entered the hospital to see for himself.
"Where is she?" he demanded, as he walked down the hall, Dr. Meredith Fell keeping pace with him. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAvovuUIvlXx
"Damon, listen to me. When Jeremy brought her in earlier tonight, she had a hemerage; Bleeding of the brain."527Please respect copyright.PENANACED29M9ojr
He stopped.527Please respect copyright.PENANAC8s7nFpbrh
"What?"527Please respect copyright.PENANAofgw9nAfGC
"She needed my help. I helped her," she told him, hinting that she had injected her with some vampire blood.527Please respect copyright.PENANAFBFbKC1SQa
"You did what?" he said, knowing that that meant she was going to wake up in transition. He knew that she had never wanted to become a vampire.

It was a dark night, as they stood in the living room, arguing. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAMvjhquTe8R
"I'm not going to apologize, because I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry that I'd rather die than be human. I'm not sorry that I'd rather die right now than to spend the rest of my life with you until I'm old and wrinkly and you're still you! I'm not sorry, Elena!"527Please respect copyright.PENANAFPpnY1LKSD
"Then I'm not sorry, either. I'm not sorry that I met you. I'm not sorry that knowing you has made me question EVERYTHING; That in death you're the one who made me feel the most alive. And out of all the choices I have made, this will prove to be the worst, but I'm not sorry that I'm in love with you! I love YOU, Damon."527Please respect copyright.PENANADs2NQU1VYB
They silently looked at each other, before going to stand inches in front of each other. Then they kissed both hungrily and passionately.

It was a beautiful day, as Damon and Elena kissed in the living room by the couch, as a goodbye. This was the day that she was leaving her hometown and Damon for Whitmore college. She was going to Whitmore to get her Doctorate Degree. This would be her first time in college, but she felt that it would be both a challenging and fun first experience. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAwaGVWPtv7l
At last, they stopped so she could leave.
*Sleeping Spell*
After Kai put Elena under the sleeping spell and she was put in a casket, everyone said goodbye by going inside her head. 527Please respect copyright.PENANAe9lcpfDgmw
During Damon's goodbye to her, they had a last dance and kiss. She even told him to be happy and live life to the fullest.
