Chapter 38: Happy Birthday To Me, Goodbye

Damon

Tonight at midnight on his birthday, Damon would have to leave and never see Renee again. His knees buckled as a vise squeezed his chest. What was he going to do without her? How could he stay away? Her laugh and mischievous eyes would haunt him. Even his breath seized in his throat, unable to move past the aching pain in his chest. He wanted to be as far from Renee as possible when the change that would turn him into a monster like Clive happened.
