Love At First Sight (Jeremy Gilbert Love Story)

Bailey's Transition

Flashback
Emily walked into the bar and saw Damon sitting having a drink. She walked over to him. Damon looked over and saw Emily standing next to him he then looked straight ahead again.
Damon: Hi, Emily. It's been a while.
Emily: 6 months actually.
Damon: Want a drink?
Emily: No actually I came to tell you something.
Damon: Well that's too bad because I don't care. He said finishing off his drink and now facing Emily.
Emily: What happened to you, Damon? 6 months ago you wouldn't be in a bar drinking and you certainly would want to hear what I have to say.
Damon: Let's just say I've changed. I don't care about what you have to say or about anyone from the past. He said standing up and heading for the exit. 
Emily: I know that's not true, and you do want to hear this. Damon kept walking.
Emily: Damon, it's about Bailey. Damon stopped walking but didn't turn around.
Emily: She's very sick, Damon. They don't think she's gonna make it. She's been sleeping for two days now. I know that you said you don't care about anyone from the past but you're wrong. If there's one person that you care about it's her. It's always her. She thinks you're dead. Damon,she misses you, and Stefan. And I know you miss her too. She hasn't smiled or laughed since the day you two were shot. The deed  was never signed. You can enter the house. Damon, she needs you. She may not know it but she does. Help her, Damon. You know as well as I do that she doesn't deserve this.
Damon stood there and he slowly turned around and looked at Emily. He nodded as if to say thank you and quickly used his vampire speed to get to the Salvatore house. He walked into the house and upstairs into Bailey's room. He opened the door and saw her laying in bed, sleeping. Damon walked over to the side of the bed and sat on the chair. He looked at her with tears in her eyes. His sister, the girl who's always smiling no longer smiled. She was so pale, she was sweating. He put his hand on her forehead.
Damon: You're burning up, Squirt. He pulled his hand away and tried to hold back tears and smiled.
Damon: You know Emily told me that no one thinks you're gonna make it. But, if I know you and you always manage to prove people wrong, and you're tough. I know you're going to prove them all wrong again and in a few days you're gonna run around laughing and loving the world again. Of course she told me you haven't smiled since the day Stefan and I died. I know you miss us Squirt and believe me, we miss you too. Stefan, may not admit anytime soon but I know he does. Bailey coughed and turned her head towards Damon but didn't wake up. She started mumbling something in her sleep.
Bailey: Damon... Stefan... I'm sorry. I'm sorry... please come back. Please forgive me.
Damon: It's okay Squirt. It's okay. 
Bailey started coughing again. Damon bit into his wrist and put it to her mouth.
Damon: Come on, Kiddo. You need to drink it. It'll help you get better faster. Once he said that Bailey started drinking. Damon smiled.
Damon: There you go. 
When she stopped Damon pulled his arm away. Damon used his vampire hearing and heard her heartbeat getting lower and lower. 
Damon: No, come on, Squirt. Pull through, just like you always do. He said now close to tears.
Just as he said this her heartbeat stopped. Damon was now in full blown tears and crying into his hands. A few seconds later heard footsteps. Damon looked up and saw a man walk into the room. Damon quickly got up and ran towards him. He bit his neck so he was bleeding and snapped it. The man fell onto the floor and the blood started gushing out. Damon  then left the room. A few hours later Bailey woke up gasping. She sat up and got out of bed. She turned around and saw the man Damon killed lying on the floor, bleeding. She didn't know why but she ran over to the guy and started drinking his blood.
Present

Bailey's P.O.V.

Me: It wasn't until my mouth started hurting that I realized I was a vampire.
Elena: How did you know it was Damon though?
Me: He always left something for me to drink for when I woke up. In this case it was something to complete the transition. When I saw him again a few years later he told me how it happened. So if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here right now.
Elena: When you were apologizing. What were you apologizing for?
Me: I did something bad to them at the time that I regret to this day.
Elena: What was it?

Me: I turned Katherine in.
