It was a dark night, as Damon walked into his room, where she was confined to bedrest. She was supposed to take it easy.393Please respect copyright.PENANAi4CmWExM50
"Hey," she greeted with a smile. 393Please respect copyright.PENANABU8x18e9Z3
"Hey," he greeted back.393Please respect copyright.PENANAXp7U8BYt5D
He sat on her bedside. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAIzHVNHL1s8
"Feeling any better?" he asked. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAEcsxWBBT6k
"Well, would you if you were in my situation?"393Please respect copyright.PENANAH81WEy7lDg
"Good point. What do you want? I'll give you whatever. Just name it."393Please respect copyright.PENANAEznF3mvFpQ
"How about a drink?" she suggested. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA5sRtNKp296
"I'll be right back," he replied. 393Please respect copyright.PENANApFoukzkxTj
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA1UECr9a2wg
He poured a shot glass of Bourbon and headed up the stairs to her. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAsybM6N7zTC

Once in his room, he sat on her bedside and handed her the drink. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA32jdG620aa
She took it and began to slowly drink it. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAYVj1erM8PZ
He watched her silently, wishing he could stop her from dying. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAKf82OrhRGT
Soon, she had finished. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA8humoMicIE
She set the empty shot glass down on the end table. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAXBAmgvmupx
"Now go to sleep. Don't worry; I'm not leaving you. I'm staying right here with you," he told her.393Please respect copyright.PENANAILOEa263Fm
She smiled and he smiled back. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA3CWUSQDUEQ
She layed down under the covers, on her back, and closed her eyes. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAhign7B1vCz
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. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAbaMoz1U2SU
Before he knew it, she was gone. 393Please respect copyright.PENANA4JEnRQ8H9f
He left her head and looked down at her in grief. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAAPQSAYdz9l
He bent down and kissed her on the forehead. 393Please respect copyright.PENANAI61AirHaZS
"Goodbye, Katherine."393Please respect copyright.PENANAxItOwx2Wb7
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.393Please respect copyright.PENANAz4z5qrSLz2
