Morning came in, but Elena was too tired to get up. It had been 4 am when she had fallen asleep and even then it was a restless night. However she felt a sudden weight on her bed and a shadow covering her face.
She opened her eyes and stared in Damon’s face. She was awake right away. She sat up and threw her arms around Damon.
“You’re alive!” she cried. She held onto him like she would never let go.
“Yeah, some cop helped me” Damon said. “I had to compel him, though. He wanted me to go to the hospital”
“I wanted to go find you” Elena said, letting go of Damon. “But Stefan wouldn’t let me. What is wrong with everyone? Bonnie hexes me, Caroline tries to set you up with Bonnie, Stefan tries to kill you. Why are they all acting like this?”
“They’re crazy” Damon explained, helping Elena out of bed.
“I guess so” Elena said and she put on her dressing-gown. Damon took her hand and escorted her downstairs to the kitchen where they found Stefan and… Caroline and Bonnie. Elena freed herself from Damon and walked to Bonnie. She raised her hand and slapped the girl. Bonnie stared at her shocked. “Damon told me what you’ve done to me” Elena said. “How could you?”
But Bonnie was too shocked to answer. Elena walked back to Damon, Stefan’s eyes pinched in her back.
Caroline came forward. “Look, let’s all try to forget what happened” she started.
Damon shook his head. “Forget what happened? Do you have any idea of what she’s done?” he said trembling. Bonnie shot him a threatening glance.
“Geez, Damon, she tried to go on a date with you. Get over yourself” Caroline exclaimed and rolled her eyes. Damon looked away, angry, but no one seemed to notice, except Elena. “He’s not in love with you” she said to Bonnie. “Get it in your head already”
“Okaaayyy” Caroline said as if the last few sentences hadn’t been spoken. “I was thinking of throwing a party at the Grill”
“I’m not in the mood for partying” Damon said.
“Oh, come on!” Caroline said. “It will be good for all of us. It will wash away the dirty days we’ve had lately and Elena never had a real birthday. She’s 18, she should have us throw a party for her”
Damon looked at Elena. “If you want it, I’ll do it”
Elena looked at the rest of the gang. Caroline vowed her hands. “Please, Elena? Pretty, pretty pleeeaasse?”
Elena rolled her eyes. “Alright then” she gave in.
“Yesss!” Caroline triumphed. She grabbed Bonnies hand. “Come on, let’s go. Elena, we’ll come back in a few hours. Then we can have lunch and go shopping”
“Why do we have to go shopping?” Elena asked confused.
“Because it’s fun” Caroline said obvious. “And because we need new outfits for tonight” she winked. She walked out of the kitchen, dragging Bonnie along, leaving Damon, Elena and Stefan with each other.
After a long silence Stefan said: “I’m sorry. Both of you. I shouldn’t have stabbed you, Damon. And I shouldn’t have locked you up, Elena. I…I don’t know what I was doing. I had too much blood. I know it’s a lame excuse, and it doesn’t make it right. I just…I hope the two of you can give me another chance”
“I’m going to get dressed” Elena said and she turned around.
She opened her eyes and stared in Damon’s face. She was awake right away. She sat up and threw her arms around Damon.

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…

Anna materialized in the ICU. The doctors had brought Cas here. There was nothing they could do as long as they didn’t have the donors they needed.
Anna, holding a pair of kidneys in her left hand and a liver in her right hand, quickly walked to the bed. She removed the sheets with her mind and cut open Cas’ belly. While blood streamed alongside Cas’ unconscious body and on the matrass, Anna put the organs in their rightful place.
The monitor started beeping and Anna vanished, when a team of doctor’s came rushing into the intensive care.
“I need to talk to security” the doctor said, when he’d fixed up Cas’ properly. “Someone was here. Someone attempted to kill this man”
“Someone who gave him the organs he needed?” his assistant frowned. “Why would anyone do that?”
“I don’t know” the doctor said. “But I want someone to keep an eye on him, as long as he’s here”
