Candace Anne Hawthrone died at three in the morning on September first.

She died sleeping in my arms.

" What was the cause of death? " Xavier asked

Stefan is reading her autopsy report.

Xavier wanted her autopsy-d.

" Multiple organ failure. " Stefan read

I closed my eyes.

" Caroline. " I said

" Yeah? "

" Could you arrange a nice funeral? " I said

" I think I can. "

" Good, and everybody prepare your speeches. We don't want Candace's ghost haunting us. "

" Damon-"

" This is how I cope up okay? Let's just respect her wishes and-"

I closed my eyes.

I realize that this is my first actual death that I have to deal with.

When my mother died, I did not deal with it.

" I need air. " I said, then walked out.

...

" Hey. " Elena said

I was seated on the sidewalk, with my head on my palms.

I looked up.

" Hey. " I said

" Are you okay? " she said

I inhaled.

" I don't know. "

" Everything's gonna be alright. " she said

" How am I supposed to create a nice funeral? " I said

" Don't worry about it. Caroline and I are going to take care of it. "

" You should take Xavier and Patrick with you. They know Candace better than I do. "

" We will. You just write her the speech that she wants. "

" She wants everyone to speak. "

" I know. "

I stood up.

" I'm gonna go write that speech. " I said

" Make sure you nail it. " she said

I nodded.

" Thanks. " I said and then walked to my car.
