It was a dark night, as Damon walked into his room, where she was confined to bedrest. She was supposed to take it easy.804Please respect copyright.PENANAPzfpUvIJOu
"Hey," she greeted with a smile. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAtlWZKp66a8
"Hey," he greeted back.804Please respect copyright.PENANAKCk4PAuZIT
He sat on her bedside. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAMBUhnxkDFS
"Feeling any better?" he asked. 804Please respect copyright.PENANA6aEaTXwDMd
"Well, would you if you were in my situation?"804Please respect copyright.PENANAc0To8Rt78n
"Good point. What do you want? I'll give you whatever. Just name it."804Please respect copyright.PENANAn9v6WU6yKw
"How about a drink?" she suggested. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAaesJ1Vg1ez
"I'll be right back," he replied. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAKdKRGwyxtV
He got to his feet and left to get her a shot glass of Bourbon. He couldn't stop himself from thinking that this could be her last drink. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAoHC3UVS1VD
He poured a shot glass of Bourbon and headed up the stairs to her. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAoX4IZpJvDc

Once in his room, he sat on her bedside and handed her the drink. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAvkyshjdkZC
She took it and began to slowly drink it. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAskuMFrMIoB
He watched her silently, wishing he could stop her from dying. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAFWgeGjhebj
Soon, she had finished. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAr376wZbWxk
She set the empty shot glass down on the end table. 804Please respect copyright.PENANABt5FiNexx1
"Now go to sleep. Don't worry; I'm not leaving you. I'm staying right here with you," he told her.804Please respect copyright.PENANAN90hyfp3Of
She smiled and he smiled back. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAG5OIQ0SBmM
She layed down under the covers, on her back, and closed her eyes. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAjCahQHsO6z
He knew her time was close. Though it hurt to watch her die, he stayed beside her, never leaving her. Though he couldn't stop her death, he could ease her pain. And so he did. He went inside her head, reliving the happy memories and taking away the painful ones, pushing the painful memories to the very back of her mind. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAdLEdkYDxZD
Before he knew it, she was gone. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAu63fQLEXbG
He left her head and looked down at her in grief. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAY7DSnVYRtf
He bent down and kissed her on the forehead. 804Please respect copyright.PENANAPa3bXGwsmf
"Goodbye, Katherine."804Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Up359rdR
That was the best he could do, because he had never been good with farewells. He never liked goodbyes. He knew though, that he would see her again on the Other Side, whenever that day came.804Please respect copyright.PENANAUjDJ6ISIjr
