"What the fuck do you mean, you don't want it?" Jessica cries 

"You don't even know, do you?" I spit 

"I don't know how to explain myself... other than to say that I have accepted my fate."  Bill says and I almost laugh in anger 

"And that would be all well and good if you had to, but you don't, right? All you've gotta do is drink this cunt's blood... and this could all be over." Jessica cries 

"As much as I appreciate a compelling character drama... the yakuza are upstairs... so need I remind you to keep it the fuck down volume-wise?" Pam states and I quickly walk up to Bill 

"Whatever this is, whatever you're doing... you don't get to hide behind the word "fate." The cure is right fucking there. Look at her. She's your fate. She is your destiny. If you don't drink her blood... you're making a choice, Bill. A choice you won't have to live with... but we will, Jessica and me." I whisper trying to get him to understand 

"You're right. I am making a choice. I'm choosing the true death." Bill says and I step back in anger 

"Fuck you, Bill." Jessica cries and I watch as Bill tries to look at me as if he could gain sympathy from be but I throw a punch that has his head flying backwards  

"Don't you look at me like that. I'm with her. I want to know why." I cry 

"I can't." he says and I scream before punching him again 

"Try!" I yell through my tears 

"There are no words." he whispers and I let out a growl before I go to punch him again but I feel Eric grab my hand and a feeling of comfort washes over me 

"You should leave." he says to Bill as he holds me while I sob in his arms 

"And not a word about Sarah to anyone." Eric adds 

"I understand." Bill states and I feel my knees give in but Eric holds me up 

"Bill? I want you to release me." Jessica says as Bill goes to walk away and I watch him stiffen before he turns around and holds her hand 

"Jessica Hamby... as I know you know... I never wanted to make you a vampire. Turning you was punishment... for taking the life of one of our kind. I am so proud... of the vampire that you've become... and I know you will stand out there on your own two feet... just beautifully when I am gone. I renounce the ties of our blood... and my dominion over you as my progeny. As your maker, Jessica... I release you." he whispers and I sob harder as he walks away and I see Jessica fall apart before me 

"I'm sorry, Megs" Eric whispers as he runs his fingers through my hair in a calming matter. When Jessica and I leave we end up in the middle of the woods 

"It's safe." Jessica says and I look around the empty cabin 

"Where'd you go, Sam?" I whisper looking around but Jessica looks up at me and hands me a note that's addressed to me  

"Do you want me to wait outside?" Jessica whispers and I shake my head 

"Actually, I don't wanna be alone." I whisper as I sit down on the couch and begin to read the letter  "Dearest Megs, if you're reading this letter... then you've probably already figured out that I'm gone.I take that you haven't forgotten Nicole's little outburst the other night.. Truthfully, Megs, I ain't sure whether she's right or wrong about our town. And she says we're all crazy. I think we might just be resilient. Either way, there are two things I am sure of. The first is that I love Nicole very much. The second is there ain't no way I'm gonna miss out on seeing my baby grow up. The way I see it, we live two lives here on Earth, Megs
The first is for us. The second's for our kids. And we gotta teach them what we know... what we've learned. Now, don't get me wrong, Megs. This is a goodbye. Older I get, more I realize the world ain't as big a place... .as I used to think it was. And I'm just gonna be in Chicago. And that's just a stone's throw. Nicole and I would love to have you come out after the baby's born. Think about it, all right? I want you to know after everything we've been through, Meghan Know that I love you. Sam" I whisper reading his letter and Jessica throws her arms around me before we head towards work.
