If you had a choice
Then what would you choose…
To do
I could live without money
I could live without the pain
And if every day was sunny
I could live without the rain
And if I ever went up to heaven
I would fall right back down
That life wouldn’t be liven
‘Cause you’re the one
I couldn’t live without

It was a beautiful day, as he spoke to his brother.
“Katherine is dead. There’s no world without her,” pretty much telling him that without her, he’d rather die than turn.
*I Know What You Did Last Summer*
If I couldn’t blink
Woulda still be able to see you
I coulda imagine
Ooohh
Without arms
Coulda reach
No way I could ever hold you
Uaahhh
I need these things
Like I need you

It was a dismal night, as Damon walked into his living room, only to find a human Katherine. She was finishing a shot glass of Bourbon she’d helped herself to. Looking her over, he realized that she was miserable as a human and hated being one.
“Katherine,” he stated.
“It’s been a long summer, Damon,” she greeted him.
“You’re miserable,” he stated.
“Please. I’m Katherine Pierce. I’m a survivor,” she said, trying to conceal how miserable she was.
“You’re a liar. Your hair’s messed up. Your nails are chipped. You’re a sad miserable human being and you want me to turn you. So, here.” He bit his wrist and held it out to her. When she hesitated, he encouraged her by saying, “Go ahead. Drink up. I’ll kill you, you’ll bite the mailman, you’ll be a vampire again. Go ahead, come on.”
“I can’t, okay?” she admitted. “No one’s ever taken the cure before. If I die, there’s a good chance I may never wake up.”
“And that would be tragic,” he quipped.
“And deep down, in that mushy-gushy Elena-loving heart, there’s a part of you that doesn’t want me to die,” she said, a hand on his chest and her right one resting on his arm.
“What are you doing here, Katherine?” he asked her.
“There’s someone chasing me,” she admitted.
“Then run. Run far away.”
“Damon, you don’t understand. I have enemies everywhere. What happens when word gets out that I’m a human? I can’t protect myself! I’m weak and I’m slow. Do you have any idea what it’s like to run in heels? I have blisters, Damon! Please, just…help me,” she pleaded and begged with him.
He silently looked at her, knowing she was right.
If you had a choice
What would you choose?
I could live without money
I could live without the pain
And if every day was sunny
I could live without the rain
And if I ever went up to heaven
I would fall right back down
That life wouldn’t be liven
‘Cause you’re the one
I couldn’t live without

After he’d tried handing her over to Silas, which she got the hint he was going to do, he couldn’t get a hold of her. He figured something was wrong, so after Silas left, he went in search of her, only to find her in his nearly totaled car. Even though he hated her, a part of him didn’t want her to die. He didn’t know what he’d do if she was dead. He’d spent so much time hating her, but a part of him would always love her.
“Katherine!”
He blurred to her side of the car and forced the jammed door open. She was quite injured.
He rested a hand on the side of her face.
“Katherine, can you hear me?” he called to her.
Uaaahh
Ooohhhwaahhh
Hwawahh
If I couldn’t dream without
Believe that there could be
A you and me
And if I couldn’t see
Would you be able
To hear my melody
I know there’s something wrong
And I’m afraid
That you are moving on

When he didn’t get an answer of any kind, he knew she wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon.
“If you can hear me, Katherine, stay with me. I’m gonna get you some help. Just stay with me.”
He gently pulled her into his arms and out of the wreckage, before blurring to the hospital. Though he acted calm, he was afraid that it was going to be too late. She’d lost quite a lot of blood and was very pale. He knew this was his fault for trying to hand her over to Silas, but Silas had gotten inside his head and had told him that he knew where Stefan was. All he had to do was give her to Silas and Silas would tell him where Stefan was. It hadn’t worked that way, though and now she was dying because of his idioticy.
How can I fly
When you are my wings?
I need these things
Like I need you
If you had a choice
What would you choose?

Damon stood in the hallway, watching the doctors. He’d brought her in but they had to try and bring her back to life, before they could get her into surgery. He hoped that she’d come back. After all, he knew it was up to her whether to live or not. It was her choice, but if he had any say in it, he wanted her to choose to live.
After twenty minutes, she was brought back to life, which relieved him.
I could live without money
I could live without the pain
And if every day was sunny
I could live without the rain
And if I ever went up to heaven
I would fall right back down

I couldn’t live without

A few hours later, he was seated on her bedside, once she was out of surgery. He put a hand on top of hers, as he sat there, looking at her, waiting for her to awaken.
“I’m so sorry, Katherine,” he apologized, though he didn’t know if she could hear him or not.
*House Guest*
You can take it all
From me
It wouldn’t mean
Anything
Turn the whole world against me
As long as
You don’t leave
It’s getting hard for me to sleep
Even a part for me to breathe
I’m used to life with you
Tell me what I need to do

It was a dismal night, as Damon sat on his couch, reading.
Katherine came over and leaned against the back of the couch, as if she was trying to read over his shoulder.
Damon put the book down and looked up at her.
“Can I help you?”
“I’m bored,” she told him.
*As I Lay Dying*
I could live without money
I could live without the pain
And if every day was sunny
I could live without the rain
And if I ever went up to heaven
I would fall right back down
That life wouldn’t be liven

It was a dark night, as Katherine entered Damon’s room with the cure for the werewolf bite. She could see that he was just moments from death. It broke her heart, but she didn’t let it show. Instead, she silently approached his bedside and put the vial to his lips, making the blood go down his throat to cure him.
Once the vial was empty, she set it on the end table and put a hand on the side of his face, waiting to see if it would work.
When he looked up at her, she took her hand away.
“You came,” he said.
“I owed you one,” she said, before turning around and leaving the room.
*Fool Me Once*
I could live without money
I could live without the pain
And if every day was sunny
I could live without the rain
And if I ever went up to heaven
I would fall right back down
That life wouldn’t be liven

Damon stood in the tomb, looking around at the bodies of the tomb trapped vampires, looking for Katherine, a blood bag in hand. He couldn’t see her, though. Realizing she wasn’t there, it made him upset, making him think that she was most likely dead.
“She’s not here,” he said softly. Then he through the blood bag which hit a rock wall and splattered. “She’s not here!” he yelled.
