*The Return*
Let's run away, from these lies
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creepin' up like tick tock
I'll try to keep you in my head, but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah, you've got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm going to find you
It was a dark night at the boarding house, as Damon and Katherine made out. Then a few minutes later, he pulled away and looked at her.
"I have one question. Answer it right and it's back to rockets and fireworks. I'll forget the last 145 years I spent missing you. I'll forget how much I loved you. I'll forget everything and we can start over. This can be our defining moment. See, we have time. That's the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth just this once."
She looked at him, as he began to ready himself and ask his question. Before he could, she told him, "Stop. I already know the question and its answer. The truth is...I've never loved you. It was always Stefan," she lied, wanting him to stop chasing her, knowing that one day it would get him killed.
As her words sunk in, she left him there, but hated that she felt like she had to do this to protect him.
*The Sun Also Rises/As I Lay Dying*
Baby please don't go, go, go
Baby please don't go, go, go
Baby please don't go, go, go
Baby please don't, baby please don't
Baby please don't, baby please don't run away from my bed
Start another day instead
It was a dark night, as Damon and Katherine stood in the hallway of the boarding house downstairs.
"So, what? 145 years and no last good-bye?" she had to ask, having just found out that he had been bitten by a werewolf; specifically, Tyler Lockwood.
He looked at her.
"For you? You don't deserve a good-bye."
She silently looked at him, trying to think of what to say. It was like he was giving up already. She didn't like or want that, but she couldn't stop him from it. It was his choice to give up or keep fighting.

That afternoon, the next day, he took off his Daylight ring and tossed it to the floor, stepped forward into the sunlight that beamed from the window where the curtains didn't cover it, and let himself burn. He didn't finish trying to commit suicide though, because Stefan pushed him out of the way at vamp speed and locked him in the basement cell.
Baby please don't go, go, go
Baby please don't go, go, go
Baby please don't, baby please don't
Running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
Baby please don't go, go, go
That night, as he lay in bed in his room, just moments from death, eyes closed, Katherine's doppelganger keeping him company no matter how much it hurt to see him dying, Katherine walked in with the vial of the cure in hand; Klaus' blood.
"It's me you should be thanking. I have the cure," she said, having heard him thank Elena, thanks to her super healing.
She walked over and Elena got out of her way so she could cure him.
After making the cure go down his throat, she rested a gentle hand on the side of his face.
He opened his eyes to see her.
"You came back."
She gave him a smile.
"I owed you one."
As she left, he wondered what she meant by that.
*Fifty Shades of Grayson*
Baby please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?
I don't know, if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm going to find you
It was a dark night, as Katherine walked down the stairs, human as of a few months ago when the cure had been shoved down her throat.
Suddenly, pain started on her arm and spread to her chest and it was like she couldn't breathe. Then everything went black and she tumbled down the stairs the rest of the way.

Let's run away, from these lies
Back to yesterday
Safe tonight
I feel the sun creepin' up like tick tock
After being found and brought to the hospital and revived, she was put on bed rest and given pain killers if she wanted them.
Baby, please don't run away
That night, Damon came and sat on her bedside and went inside her head without being invited to, only to find her lost in the memory of grieving over her mother 500 years ago when she had found her family slaughtered. Though he had gone inside her head to torment her and give her as much pain as possible on her deathbed, a part of him felt sorry for her. Just like he had once dealt with, she had lost her mother who, by the looks of it, she had been very close to; like he had been with his own mother. Where the sympathy for her had come from, he didn't know, so he just ignored it. And in the end, she died and was swept away by a black mass, instead of being allowed entrance to the Other Side.
