It was a dark night, as Damon walked into his room, where she was confined to bedrest. She was supposed to take it easy.386Please respect copyright.PENANA7AcrP8Z7mL
"Hey," she greeted with a smile. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAuxITtQh3Fo
"Hey," he greeted back.386Please respect copyright.PENANA8sgJWaKMe9
He sat on her bedside. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAZE7GX2wCKP
"Feeling any better?" he asked. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAWKN2x3BZNi
"Well, would you if you were in my situation?"386Please respect copyright.PENANApqVIOtIVHK
"Good point. What do you want? I'll give you whatever. Just name it."386Please respect copyright.PENANArzZ7w6ooo9
"How about a drink?" she suggested. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAlqO5Qw1seG
"I'll be right back," he replied. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAubuz5zkUBO
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. 386Please respect copyright.PENANArVysK1M4wN
He poured a shot glass of Bourbon and headed up the stairs to her. 386Please respect copyright.PENANApBaFHT8HqL

Once in his room, he sat on her bedside and handed her the drink. 386Please respect copyright.PENANArbKv7eBEds
She took it and began to slowly drink it. 386Please respect copyright.PENANA3OWluSBibq
He watched her silently, wishing he could stop her from dying. 386Please respect copyright.PENANA9e1asoG2O1
Soon, she had finished. 386Please respect copyright.PENANA5c131FTmSh
She set the empty shot glass down on the end table. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAc3Cu7C2VOb
"Now go to sleep. Don't worry; I'm not leaving you. I'm staying right here with you," he told her.386Please respect copyright.PENANAkyh7bZTmg9
She smiled and he smiled back. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAvWfUxbHdEX
She layed down under the covers, on her back, and closed her eyes. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAaaC3QHS3ON
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. 386Please respect copyright.PENANACxC6jdtWA6
Before he knew it, she was gone. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAdiAjHferpr
He left her head and looked down at her in grief. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAuZcFuuSDQH
He bent down and kissed her on the forehead. 386Please respect copyright.PENANAdctmNSXgdt
"Goodbye, Katherine."386Please respect copyright.PENANAY1aDJACNwx
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.386Please respect copyright.PENANAIt8376N8ZM
