Two days had past by and Bonnie's condition was getting worse. The black veins had started to spread to other parts of her body and she was feeling weaker and in more pain despite Alaric's medicine. Damon had tried to give her some of Tyler's blood but it wasn't strong enough to heal her and she was getting worse by each passing day. Still Damon insisted that he would find some way to heal her. Bonnie was losing more and more hope with each day that she would heal and that her life would be spared. Making peace with the fact that she could die she wanted to make the most out of her remaining days on earth.
She had been tired of being cooped up in Damon's bedroom almost twenty four hours a day. She asked him if she could sit outside, so Damon bathed her in the bath tub and helped her change into some comfortable clothes. Then he put her outside in the back lawn on a laid back lawn chair to make her comfortable. Bonnie was laid back on the cushioned lawn chair with a thin blanket over her. Despite her pain and weakness she enjoyed the warm day, closing her eyes as a lite breeze flowed through her hair.
A few minutes later she heard the sounds of foot steps and someone sitting in the chair next to hers. Bonnie opened her eyes to see that it was Caroline. "Hey Care."
Caroline's eyes scanned over her friends appearance. "Hey Bon they told me that you were back here."
"I wanted to get some fresh air." Bonnie told her.
"I understand. How are you doing?" Caroline asked even though she knew the answer to the question.
Bonnie gave a weak smile. "Feeling like hell but coping as best as I can."
Caroline frowned "I wished that Tyler's blood would have worked."
"Too bad that it didn't." Bonnie muttered.
Caroline felt the urge to cry she didn't want to lose her friend. "There's still a chance that we'll find another way to cure you."
Bonnie coughed into her hand her lungs feeling like they were on fire. "If there isn't I appreciate all of you for trying."
"I'm praying for you." Caroline let her know.
Bonnie eyed the blond vampire. "I need you to do something for me Care."
"Anything." Caroline said
Bonnie took a deep breath . "Just in case I don't make it…" She had to pause to compose herself. "I need you to watch over Damon for me."
Caroline blinked back her tears. "Okay"
"Stefan's going to need help to take care of him and to make sure that he doesn't do anything too crazy or destructive." Bonnie said "So could you do that for me Care?"
Caroline brushed away a tear that had fallen. "I will for you Bon."

That night Damon woke up to the sounds of someone getting sick to their stomach. He saw that Bonnie was not in the bed next to him and got out of bed. Walking over to the connecting bathroom he saw Bonnie knelled down and bent over the toilet getting sick and throwing up the blood that she had for dinner. Concern etched on Damon's face as he watched blood fill the toilet. Her bent down next to her and helped held her hair back as she kept getting sick.
Bonnie violently threw up, it felt like her entire stomach wanted to come up. For five minutes she kept throwing up blood when it was over heavy sweat coated her face feeling very weakened she leaned against Damon groaning.
"Sorry." She mumbled
"You did nothing wrong." Damon told her.
Bonnie said nothing and just closed her eyes feeling light headed.
Damon released her hair and stood up. He grabbed a wash clothe wet it and cleaned the vomit from around her mouth. "Are you done?"
"For now at least." Bonnie answered
Damon flushed the toilet and gathered her in his arms carrying her back over towards to bed. He laid her in the bed and climbed in next to her holding her as she fell back to sleep a few minutes later.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Over the next twenty four hours she had a hard time keeping anything down. Anytime that she had fed on a blood bag it would come back up a few minutes later so they decided not to give her any blood, since it wasn't staying in her system and was causing her more suffering by making her vomit.
Bonnie could feel it in her gut that she didn't have much longer to live. So she wanted to spent as much time with Damon as she possibly could. Now at her request they sat outside watching the sun set. She sat close next to him leaning her head on his shoulder.
Bonnie sighed at the beauty of the sun set and the colors it made across the sky. "People take stuff like this for granted, maybe they wouldn't if they knew that it was the last time that they would see a sunset."
Damon shook his head. "You'll see plenty of sunsets hundreds of years worth." He said not wanting to believe that her time was coming to an end.
"Damon I'm going to die." Bonnie said eyes watery.
"No you'll live." Damon denied voice cracking
Bonnie looked at him sadly. "I only have a short time to live and might not make it much longer."
"Stop talking like that." Damon snapped out the words.
An expression of hurt came over her face not by what he said but the tone of voice he used.
Damon saw this and immediately regretted lashing out at her. "Sorry."
"So am I." Bonnie told him.
Damon swallowed feeling overwhelming emotions. "I just don't want to lose you."
"I know that you don't and I don't want to die either." Bonnie told him her voice shaky "But guess what."
"What?" Damon questioned.
Bonnie looked him his eyes, those intense icy blues that she would be happy to get lost in. "I'm happy to know that I spend my final days on this earth with you."
Those words made Damon smile, but it didn't reach his eyes which were emotional and very sad.
"I'll never regret a single moment that we had together Damon because it all lead to us falling in love." Bonnie softly told him. "Being with you has made me so happy and joyful and I'll always carry you inside of my heart even after I'm dead."
Damon swallowed and cupped her face in his hand. "Coming to here to Mystic Falls was the best thing that I could have done."
Bonnie sighed closing her eyes against his touch.
"Because it brought you into my life and that's something that I'll forever be grateful for." Damon went on getting choked up. "I was truly blessed when you decided to be with me and I'll never find another woman like you ever again."
Bonnie's heart wanted to break from the sadness that she heard in his voice and saw in his eyes. "You'll find someone else to love."
The tears spilled down Damon's cheeks. "No I won't not after you."
"Look at me Damon." She waited until his eyes connected with hers. "I need you to do something for me."
"Name it." Damon said
Unshed tears filled her eyes. "After I'm gone, live your life to it's fullest. I don't want you to spend the rest of your life grieving over me and missing out on happiness and love because believe it or not you Damon Salvatore deserve to be loved. The best way that you could honor me is by living a free and happy life."
"It will take me a long, long time to get over you." Damon admitted "But for you I'll try."
Bonnie leaned in and kissed both of his tear stained cheeks and embraced him a hug.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The next night she danced with him under the stars to 'Unchained Melody". It was a beautfil haunting love song. She danced with him to the stars. Her physical pain from the wolf put to the side during that moment. Bonnie enjoyed being in his arms as they swayed slowly to the music. Damon held onto her like it she was his life. He cherished this moment because he didn't know how many more opportunities that he would have to hold her like this. Bonnie closed her eyes and rested her head on this chest feeling safe, secure and loved in his arms tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.

Three more days past and Bonnie's had gotten rapidly worse. She still hadn't been able to keep anything down and the black veins had spread almost over her entire badly. Time had quickly ran out on finding a cure for her. She had gotten so much worse and was so weak and in pain that she spent the rest of the time resting in Damon's bed. As the hours of the day past by she could feel her life slipping away inch by inch. Alaric told them that she wouldn't likely live to see the next morning. So all of her closest friends had came to say their emotion good byes.
That night Damon was in the room alone with her watching over her. Bonnie opened her eyes looking at him.
Damon took her hand brushing his lips over her knuckles.
Bonnie smiled weakly at him. "I love you Damon." She whispered before taking a few gulps of labored air before closing her eyes and going still.
"Bonnie?" Damon called out alarmed
There was no answer she remained still as a stone.
Damon reached over shaking her desperately calling her name over and over again to get no response from her. She didn't move, breath, or do anything. Greif and heartbreak over came Damon once he realized that she was dead. Damon buried his face in her chest and sobbed and wept like he never had done before in his life.

Man this chapter was difficult for me to write. So what will Damon do to bring Bonnie back?
