Summary: Set in S1, 2, and 3. Based on Florence and the Machine’s song “Never Let Me Go.”
*Pilot*
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it’s peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it’s breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

Caroline layed on the couch with Damon whom had recently become her friend.
“How come the guys I want, never want me? I try so hard, but I’m never the one,” she said.
He put an arm around her in comfort, not having anything to say about that. He was in the same boat, never being able to get the girl. Always on the sidelines.
*Our Town*
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of Heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure’s hard to take
It’s the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all
And it’s breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

Damon and Caroline were in his bed, his arm around her in comfort, as she sobbed, saying, “My dad hates me.” She’d been through hell with her father trying to change her so she wouldn’t have to live off of blood, not wanting to kill her for being a vampire.
He let her cry, knowing what it felt like to have your own father hate and despise you, no matter what you did.
*As I Lay Dying*
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
In the crushes of Heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it’s over
And I’m going under
But I’m not giving up
I’m just giving in
I’m slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean
So sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
In the crushes of Heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

It was a dismal night at the Salvatore boarding house in Damon’s room, as Damon lay in bed, dying of Tyler’s werewolf bite, Caroline seated on his bedside. She hated watching him dying, but she didn’t want him to die alone. She wished that the cure would come before it was too late, but she doubted it. He was so close to joining the Other Side, she knew.
“You would’ve liked me better in 1864,” he half-whispered, eyes closed.
“I like you now,” she replied.
Knowing he loved her and that he was close to death, she kissed him and then pulled away. She loved him too, but she didn’t want to due to the kind of person he was. A part of not wanting to love him was what he’d done to her when she’d been human. He was a bad person and she didn’t want to love someone like that.
“Thank…you,” he half-whispered.
“You’re welcome,” she replied.
After Katherine came into the room and cured him with a vial of Klaus’ blood, he survived and Katherine left.
