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.

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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAXhM3czLnrN
When Damon heard Elena scream once, he headed towards her scent trail at vamp-speed, assuming she was in peril. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4FSTRkusV
When he got there, he saw her in her upside down car. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAdnXPX5lZiM
He was instantly at her driver's door, where the glass window was shattered. 402Please respect copyright.PENANARi8YBMSK3b
After she told him that her seat belt was stuck, he told her to put her hands on the roof, which she did. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAGwjUYMg6OO
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAEoBNzSgoie
"Are you okay? Anything broken?"402Please respect copyright.PENANA5HZPzQyPcl
She shook her head and he set her on her feet. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAHuKEKN41ax
When she almost lost her balance, he steadied her and then looked her over. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAlRMJmOs9Ju
"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."402Please respect copyright.PENANAYfMcBMtjBa
"I look like crap," she commented. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAWig8W5mMrg
"What?" he asked. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAEtW7TF522o
A moment later, everything went black for her. 402Please respect copyright.PENANANclQR4EAXI
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANA8TJyBC2Hxz
He gently picked her up in his arms, as he said, "Upsie daisy." He then walked away with her in his arms.402Please respect copyright.PENANAu08YQIdEiA
402Please respect copyright.PENANAteMttlpVyM
402Please respect copyright.PENANA0cGKP2zG6z
The next night, in Georgia, she saved his life from a vengeful vampire. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAoNtNCmr4wB
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANApPpPAyvk9J
"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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANA4gLTmgGQaH
402Please respect copyright.PENANAexaj1ZcSzC
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANArDCY1EE7GM
"Damon, listen to me. When Jeremy brought her in earlier tonight, she had a hemerage; Bleeding of the brain."402Please respect copyright.PENANAcNrUVTwaXA
He stopped.402Please respect copyright.PENANAIgl8SO43b7
"What?"402Please respect copyright.PENANAUFgXgIg5dz
"She needed my help. I helped her," she told him, hinting that she had injected her with some vampire blood.402Please respect copyright.PENANAHsFDn1vF20
"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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAOixrSwvoR3
"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!"402Please respect copyright.PENANAIrT3Bn3qvz
"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."402Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Vs1bb56f
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANA6k8GMorKCB
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. 402Please respect copyright.PENANAEo9vKjXTGT
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.
