Chapter 42

"Holly, are you sleeping yet?"

It was Damon.

"Hi," I replied, without sitting up, I simply had no strength to do so," no, I'm still up."

He closed the door behind him and walked closer until he was standing beside my face. I continued to look up at him keeping quiet. He seemed at a loss for words but he didn't need to speak for me to understand what was going on in his brain.

A few minutes of silence passed before he finally said, "I don't know where to start."

I smiled," I know."

"I'm sorry, for everything that's happened to you if I could take it back-"

"I know," I replied, once again.
