It's four cups of coffee and two blood bags later that it becomes eleven. Elena is carefully waiting. She suspects Bonnie will wake up at midnight. Her limbs feel heavy. She begins to talk of heavy things, last moments for decades and that Caroline has most of the envelopes. She reminds Jeremy to call Elijah when Bonnie wakes up. She tells him to live his life, she'll be proud of him no matter what. There's a last hug, from Jeremy. He hugs her so tightly that Caroline thinks he'll break her ribs. They've always been close, he's always had Elena. He's got to fly the nest soon, she tells him. He nods. She hugs Alaric and talks to him, telling him that he's the best guardian she and Jeremy could have hoped for, among other things. Caroline is last because she already knows so much. She already knows everything. Elena feels her limbs turn into lead, as she hugs Caroline. Eleven fifty eight passes, and then her eyes close, her body relaxes against Caroline. She calls Elijah single handedly, and Jeremy checks on Bonnie.
