Imagine dying on Matt's arms

"Matt, behind you!"

You lunged towards your best friend and secret crush, and shoved him down onto the ground to disappoint the bloodthirsty ripper vampire behind him. Matt gave you a grateful look, and then shielded your body with his large arms when he saw Damon punching his hand through the vampire's heart. Blood splattered out of the now very dead body, and Matt covered you up to save you from the red liquid - therefore all of the stains ended up on his face and clothes.

When the literally heartless vampire fell next to you and Matt on the ground, he finally decided it was safe enough to get up and helped you to your feet. Damon gave you a smug look and you could sense the silent sarcasm with ease, even when he sprinted away to help his brother with the other vampires. A bunch of rippers had spread out to Mystic Falls and obviously, you and your friends had to deal with them even if you and Matt were both just human. It was dangerous, and you knew your life was at risk but for them, and for Matt, you'd do anything.

You and him protected each other at all costs, until it just got out of hand. Damon's neck was snapped and Stefan lost the upper hand and with the lack of vampires on your side, you quickly started to lose and in no time Matt's life was in serious danger. And for him, you'd indeed do anything - so you ran to him and to save him for death, you let one of the vampires pierce your stomach with a stake.

You inhaled sharply and your eyes widened while you slowly looked down to your stomach where blood began spreading outrageously quickly. Your legs failed underneath your body that suddenly felt too heavy to hold up, and you slumped down to the ground but your landing was softened by Matt who grabbed you and went down with you. He cradled your body, while Stefan killed the last of the vampires so you could have your peace on the ground that started to collect blood on it because of your heavy bleeding. Matt's eyes glistened with tears that eventually rolled onto his cheeks, making you do the same because so far, you had never seen a sight as heart-breaking as the one you loved, crying.

"I love you, Matt. I'm sorry-- sorry that I didn't tell you before. But I love you. Promise me you'll move on, that you won't give up and that you'll keep on going on even if it hurts first. Promise me you'll live your life, and stay safe or else I'll come back to haunt you and to kick your ass", you spoke, managing to crack a joke even though you were on the brink of death. Matt chuckled, but then he started to feel bad for finding such black humor amusing and it caused him to shake his head while holding you tightly. And what you just confessed to him, it stuck around in his mind and it made him smile through the tears.

"I-- Y/N, I love you too. I do, I'm sorry for being such a coward and not telling you. But Stefan will give you his blood so you'll heal, Stefan will--", Matt explained, but he was interrupted when he heard a crack. You both looked to Stefan's direction, where you saw two bodies fall onto the ground - Stefan's, and one of the vampires'. Stefan had a heart in his hand, but he had barely killed the vampire when his neck was already snapped, leaving him dead for the moment and unable to feed you his blood. Matt let out a frustrated groan, and then turned back to you, sobbing as his eyes met yours.

"I will tear a limb off of him if necessary. You're getting that blood, Y/N, I swear--", Matt stuttered but you stopped him from moving. You placed your hand on top of his, and watched his facial expression soften. It was now just you and him. And that was how you wanted it to be. That was how you wanted to go. In peace, in love, in his arms.

"Don't, Matt", you coughed, "it's okay. It's alright. Just hold me, talk to me, kiss me", making him look at you in disbelief but to do as you wished, he stayed. He kissed your cheek, not having the time to kiss your lips when you suddenly started to cough out blood. It gushed up your throat and onto the ground, which in a way disgusted you both but Matt wasn't going to leave your side. Not now, and he hoped to never do so, which meant that someone would eventually have to drag him away from your dead body.

"It's not okay. I don't want to lose you, Y/N", Matt begged in tears, but you just shook your head and placed your hand on his cheek until it fell down to your stomach because of your utterly weak state. You had lost a lot of blood and the bleeding hadn't ended yet - you knew you were going to die but you were okay with it, you had accepted the thought already and you were ready to go.

"We'll meet again, on the other side, Matty. I'll always be there, waiting for you when Damon snaps your neck or when you finally, actually get killed. Because y-you're one dumb boy, Matt Donovan. A-Always... Always getting-- getting in trouble", you stuttered, your voice starting to fade just like the color in your usually so bright eyes. Matt wanted to laugh, he so awfully much wanted to have fun and make you laugh. But all he could do, was cry, let the tears slide down his cheeks and to his jaw.

"I love you", Matt whispered, not sure what else to say. He just wanted you to know that he did care about you, in a much deeper level than he had let you know. He was in love with you, he didn't just love you as his best friend. You and him had something special, but you didn't know how to use it, how to take it and be a couple, you were so used to being best friends and it took one's death to make you admit your feelings. It was hard, it was horrible, but at least you could die happily.

"I love you, Matt", you replied, your voice cracking, as your eyes stood still, your body stopped trembling, air ran from you, and your heart ceased to beat, leaving you breathless and without a heartbeat. It was real, it was true - Y/N Y/L/N had died, on the arms of his love, Matt Donovan. But at least you died for him, at least you did something good, at least you could die happily and with a clear conscience.

"No", Matt sobbed, "please, no, Y/N come back. Y/N, don't do this to me, come back, please", praying for you to return but you were gone. And no vampire blood, nothing, could save you now. You couldn't be brought back, you were dead and you deserved to put to peace, you deserved a lovely funeral and you deserved all the flowers and candles. You deserved so much good and so much love.

"Y/N, no", Matt panted, running out of breath as he cried and rocked back and forth, looking at your cold dead body. His trembling hand closed your eyes, he didn't want to believe your death, but he didn't want to keep on staring into those eyes without any sign of life, any movement, any emotion in them.

While Matt continued to cry over your body, Caroline, Elena, Bonnie and Jeremy found their way to the situation, and Damon and Stefan started to wake up from their deaths. Deaths that wouldn't be forever, unlike yours.

Caroline covered mouth with her hands, taking in a sharp inhale, as she immediately started to cry, and Bonnie and Elena did the same. Jeremy was frozen on the spot, he wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, but all he could do was stand there and look at his best friend hugging his dead girl. Damon groaned, and opened his mouth to say something awfully sarcastic but then he understood the situation and just like Stefan, he looked at you in all your lost beauty.

You were so beautiful. But now it would all be gone. Your eyes would never sparkle the way they used to, your lips would never smile so adorably. No one would ever hear your laugh. No one would ever hear or see you do anything except stay there, stuck in death that no one could drag you away from.

"Y/N, please don't leave me", Matt whispered, his voice high and weak. Caroline ran to his side, falling onto her knees as she tried to comfort him but she could only sob as well when she saw you there. Everyone gathered around you and Matt, and Stefan volunteered to carry your body away but Matt clung onto it so hard no one could tear you two apart. Until he was truly forced to being separated from you.

"Let go, Matt. It'll only become harder with every second. Let go, please, Matt, so we can take her away. I promise she'll get the funeral she deserves, she'll get it all, okay?", Bonnie comforted her friend, who shouted when Damon and Stefan tried to take you from his arms. It was hard for them, they hated doing it, but they couldn't let the boy sit there for the rest of his life with your body. They managed to take you from Matt, who yelled louder than ever when Stefan started to carry you away. Everyone tried to hold Matt back, who kept repeating your name, not wanting to let go but you were already taken away.

"I love her...", he begged, but he couldn't even see Stefan or Damon anymore. "I love her", he repeated, and gave Caroline a sad look which she returned. They hugged, and she tried to comfort and calm him down but it was tough. It was always going to be tough.

No one really knew if he would ever get over you.

But you lived a good life, you were happy and so was everyone around you. You had given so much to others, and you had received all the love you deserved. You were dear to everyone, and you were going to be missed, but as you were lowered into a tomb and put to peace, they knew you were in a lovely place. Somewhere peaceful, somewhere quiet, surrounded by things that made you happy. Not all believed in heaven, but they believed that you had reached peace, a paradise - the other side, where you could watch over Matt forever until he'd finally join you.
