Summary: Set in S5 “Dead Man On Campus” and “Fifty Shades of Grayson.” Everything else are flashbacks. After Damon finds out that she’s dying of old age rapidly, he decides to find a way to save her. Will he succeed?
*Dead Man On Campus*
I’m watching myself
Drifting away
A vision so darkened
I cannot stay
I’m reaching out wide
Trying to catch myself before I fall
Too little too late
Can you save me?
It was a dismal night, as she stood on the clock tower, overlooking the town square. She’d just found out that she was dying rapidly of old age. According to Wes Maxfield, it couldn’t be stopped. So, because she didn’t want to die of old age, she was going to kill herself instantly by jumping off the clock tower.
She turned so she was looking at the clock and then closed her eyes. Then she stepped off the ledge and began to fall towards the ground.
Damon was walking, when he saw her plummeting towards the ground. Without thinking, he blurred over and caught her from hitting the ground.
When she didn’t feel anything except for someone catching her, she opened her eyes, only to see that Damon had caught her. He’d stopped her from killing herself, which made her think that she’d been right when she’d come to him for help after the summer had ended. A part of him didn’t want her to die.
“Damon?” she questioned him.
He set her on her feet and then looked at her.
“What do you think you’re doing, Katherine?”
“I’m dying of old age and it can’t be stopped, okay? I don’t want that pain. I’m not going to just wait to die. Besides, I’ve got nothing to live for,” she informed him.
“So, you’re just giving up?” he inquired. “That’s not the Katherine I know.”
“You don’t know what it’s like,” she replied.
“We can find a way to save you, but no more trying to kill yourself.”
She sighed. “Fine.”
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
Where do we go when we walk on light?
Who do we call at the edge of night?
Carry me close like the teardrops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I’ll never leave
I’ll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don’t let me go
After he’d tried handing her over to Silas, which she’d obviously figured out, he’d tried to get a hold of her, but had been unsuccessful. He knew that something had gone wrong, since he couldn’t get a hold of her. Silas knew that he thought something was wrong, so Silas left. Shortly after, Damon left to go find her.
Half an hour later, he saw her in his car which had crashed into a streetlight pole and was nearly totaled.
“Katherine!”
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open, before scanning her injuries.
Hold me in your beating heart
I won’t let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
So let me freeze time
Before it turns cold
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Katherine, can you hear me?” he called to her.
When nothing happened, he took his hand away and slid an arm under her and his other under her legs, careful of her injuries, and pulled her into his arms and out of the wreckage. Then he blurred to the hospital, hoping he wasn’t too late.
The moments go by
And life goes on
The torturous stars
Are taking every breath I wish I held
The love in my heart
Is never ending
A few hours later, he was seated on her bedside, waiting for her to wake up. She’d survived surgery and would be okay, which relieved him. He couldn’t deny that she’d been right earlier tonight when she’d shown up at the house. A part of him didn’t want her to die.

It was a dismal night, as he ran after her through the woods.
After catching up with her, she stood with her back up against a tree, him in front of her.
“Why much you run from me?” he asked her.
“Because I know that you will chase,” she replied.
“Then let me chase you forever,” he replied.
She made a cut by her collarbone.
“I’m not going to feed you, Damon. If you want it, take it,” she said with a smile.
“I choose you, Katherine,” he said, and then drank from the cut.
You can’t see me
But you still feel me
I only live in your memories
I mean something
You're everything
You lay me down
Take me there
Don’t let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won’t let go
It was a beautiful day, as Damon lay in bed with Katherine on top. She changed her face into her vampire one and he touched her face where there were veins, not afraid of her, thinking that she would never hurt him.

Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side

Damon was in the living room, when he heard a noise like someone falling. Knowing Katherine was dying of old age, he assumed it was probably her considering they were the only ones there.
When he looked for her, he was right, because she was on the floor. He could tell that she’d had a heart attack, so he took her to the hospital.
After twenty minutes of trying to revive her, the doctors succeeded and she was soon put on bedrest. So, while she was resting upstairs, Damon continued his search for a way to reverse what the cure had done to her and stop her from aging rapidly.
In the end, he found a witch that knew a spell to do what he needed to save her life, so Katherine lived to see another day and he and Katherine got back together.
