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.copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AiVGlcCSJ

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. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8urAluwbp
When Damon heard Elena scream once, he headed towards her scent trail at vamp-speed, assuming she was in peril. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F6gCga5xE
When he got there, he saw her in her upside down car. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBUFVBmFrx
He was instantly at her driver's door, where the glass window was shattered. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59FABgV5N7
After she told him that her seat belt was stuck, he told her to put her hands on the roof, which she did. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMA4pRfup
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. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM1NsWpOCQ
"Are you okay? Anything broken?"39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI01jBifG6
She shook her head and he set her on her feet. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbU9LZyDe3
When she almost lost her balance, he steadied her and then looked her over. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Q4Vj1l7D
"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."39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbumbvFNOUu
"I look like crap," she commented. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhFOqrOZ52
"What?" he asked. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38aUc6ddrk
A moment later, everything went black for her. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCPdOkSC9N
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. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ634MSvdGui
He gently picked her up in his arms, as he said, "Upsie daisy." He then walked away with her in his arms.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyqTsDZFQq

The next night, in Georgia, she saved his life from a vengeful vampire. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHflAHYAnP
After that, he drove himself and her back home in Mystic Falls.copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOYQ24QRw

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. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwOSmQXcH
He closed his eyes, unable to keep them open much longer. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKBBAqoMsP
A moment later, he felt her kiss him, knowing the cure may or may not come in time. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd3xyOhUi9
"Thank...you," he whispered. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Jri9mnQc

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. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmMHBKDh7l
"You are not dead," he said in a broken voice. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYe0vkm39r

Later, he entered the hospital to see for himself. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWVCxjo456
"Where is she?" he demanded, as he walked down the hall, Dr. Meredith Fell keeping pace with him. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk589jyHA5l
"Damon, listen to me. When Jeremy brought her in earlier tonight, she had a hemerage; Bleeding of the brain."39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKk2LPn7Sx
He stopped.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3xoqboWiT
"What?"39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCZBLiasTf
"She needed my help. I helped her," she told him, hinting that she had injected her with some vampire blood.39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI08KLY8SR
"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. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡussha32Nla

It was a dark night, as they stood in the living room, arguing. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJvsOTaTDp
"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!"39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvitqgpr3Y6
"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."39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5QXkwHwQZ
They silently looked at each other, before going to stand inches in front of each other. Then they kissed both hungrily and passionately. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡraKSYXR6yU

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. 39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJIJH2goy7
At last, they stopped so she could leave. copyright protection35ＰＥＮＡＮＡeegAJ7xg4O
