Damon and Elena were lying on the hospital bed. Damon was holding Elena in his arms and they were staring at the ceiling.
“I really hope Stefan can talk him out of it” Elena said soft and sad.
“You can always, you know, compel him” Damon said. “I mean, let me or Stefan do it”
Elena lifted her head and looked at Damon as if she strongly considered it, but then shook her head. “No” she said and she lay back down. “I’m tired, Damon” she whispered.
Damon gave her a soft kiss on her upper lip. “Then sleep, princess, I’ll be here watching over you” He looked up at the window. “I can take you home, if you want me to”
“I am home” Elena mumbled and she cuddled against Damon. “But this cama is killing me” Damon got out of cama and after giving her his jaqueta so she wouldn’t be cold, he lifted her carefully in his arms.
“They won’t let us walk away just like that” Elena sighed.
“Then we won’t tell them” Damon said. He walked to the window and opened it. He looked at Elena. “Don’t be scared” he said. “I got you”
“I’m not scared” Elena smiled softly and she opened her eyes. “I got you”
Damon stepped on the edge and jumped.
