Matt didn't have a lot of people in the world he loved, and he didn't like to think about losing them, even hypothetically.Ģ. He couldn't remember ever being without Elena, and it bothered him more than he'd like, all this talk of dying and potentially being without her. Matt immediately returned the embrace, breathing in the comforting scent of her shampoo. Snuggling against him, Elena buried her face in his throat, wrapping her arms tightly around him. “I'll be with you the whole time,” he swore. “And you'll be there the whole time? You won't let me die alone?” We'll just go to sleep and never wake up.” “Then we'll go together,” Matt promised, squeezing her hand back. “You won't let me die alone, right?” Voice thickening with tears, Elena confessed, “I don't want to die all alone. And wouldn't it get really lonely if we lived forever?”Įlena sighed, her hot breath misting across his face. “Yeah, but if we lived forever and we couldn't do it until we were old, then our parents would be dead too. “But maybe by the time we're old, the doctors will have found a way for us to live forever.” Matt could barely see her, but he could still feel her hand in his, squeezing almost compulsively. “I've been thinking,” she began before tugging the blankets up over their heads, creating a darkened tent in which to speak. “What's wrong?” he asked in a whisper so he wouldn't wake up Jenna in the next room. Blinking his eyes open, Matt saw her eyes were still red from crying, but there was an expression of determination on her face Matt recognized from the few times Elena got very serious. Matt was almost asleep when he felt someone lift up the heavy quilt atop him and slide beneath it for a moment he thought it might be Vicki, who sometimes still had nightmares about Kelly's last boyfriend, but the moment he felt a warm hand in his own, he knew it was Elena. It was hardly the first time he and Vicki had spent the night with the Gilberts both he and Vicki had drawers full of clothing in the guest room, and that night Vicki got the guest bed while he slept on the pull-out couch in the den. The snow had made the roads impassable that night, and his mother wasn't able to come pick them up. His sister was notorious for hating crying, and Matt wasn't sure if he was supposed to comfort Vicki or comfort Elena. When Elena asked what happened, Grayson sat the three of them down at the dining room table and patiently explained how Grandma Beth had gone to Heaven.Įlena started crying immediately, and Matt was surprised to see Vicki tear up as well. Jeremy immediately went to his mother, climbing into her lap and asking what was wrong, but Elena made a bee line for her father, Matt on her heels, Vicki lingering behind them. Miranda and Jenna were crying on the couch, arms wrapped around each other, and Grayson was in the kitchen making tea. The day she died, the four of them got off the school bus to see Grayson's car in the driveway and immediately Vicki declared, “Something's wrong.” Miranda always babysat him and Vicki after school, and Grandma Beth almost always came over, usually with some sort of baked good, to ask how school was going or to gossip about people with her daughter. When she eventually died, Matt couldn't imagine being sad for a woman who had once told him to his face that he should never have been born.īut he had loved Grandma Beth, loved her just as much as Elena and Jeremy did. To be honest, Matt never really liked his own grandmother she was mean and impatient and more than once had smacked him or Vicki across the face for tiny infractions. The winter they were eight, Elena's Grandma Beth died.
