*The Return*

Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say

Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face

There's no one quite like you

You push all my buttons down

I know life would suck without you

At the same time, I wanna hug you

I wanna wrap my hands around your neck

You're an asshole, but I love you

And you make me so mad I ask myself

Why I'm still here, or where could I go

You're the only love I've ever known

But I hate you, I really hate you

So much, I think it must be

True love, true love

It must be true love

No one else can break my heart like you

It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other.

"I have a question. Answer it and it's back to fireworks and rockets red glare. Answer it right and I'll forget the last 145 years that I've spent missing you. I'll forget how much I loved you. I'll forget everything and we can start over. This could be our defining moment because we have time. That's the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth, just this once."

"Stop. I already know the question and its answer. The truth is...I've never loved you."

She left the boarding house, as her words sunk in, though she'd lied to him to protect him.

Upset at what she'd said, he threw an empty shot glass at the fireplace and it shattered into pieces.

*Plan B*

Just once try to wrap your little brain around my feelings

Just once try not to be so mean

Repeat after me R-O-M-A-N-C-E-E

Come on I'll say it slowly (Romance)

You can do it, baby

At the same time, I wanna hug you

I wanna wrap my hands around your neck

You're an asshole, but I love you

And you make me so mad I ask myself

Why I'm still here, or where could I go

You're the only love I've ever known

But I hate you, I really hate you

So much, I think it must be

True love, true love

It must be true love

No one else can break my heart like you

(I love you, I think it must be true love, I love you)

It was a beautiful day, as Damon called Katherine, using Mason's phone.

"Mason. You were supposed to be here an hour ago," Katherine said, thinking it was Mason. When Damon gave her a greeting, she knew it was him instead of Mason. "I assume Mason's with you," she stated, knowing him just as well as she knew herself.

"He's with me, but his heart's across the room. Aww...did I put a booboo in your plan?"

"You didn't think I'd have a plan B, did you?" she inquired. "I'm always one step ahead. I always have a plan b and c and d. You know how the alphabet goes, don't you?"

*As I Lay Dying*

Why do you rub me the wrong way?

Why do you say the things you say?

Sometimes I wonder how we ever came to be

But without you, I'm incomplete

I think it must be

True love, true love

It must be true love

Nothing else can break my heart like

True love, true love

It must be true love

And no one else can break my heart like you

(Like you)

No one else can break my heart like you

(Like you)

No one else can break my heart like you

It was a dismal night, as Damon lay in bed, dying, and only moments from joining the Other Side.

Katherine walked in with the cure in hand and put the vial of the cure to his lips, making the blood go down his throat, curing him and saving his life. She rested a hand on the side of his face.

When he looked at her, he said, "You came."

"Of course, I came. I owed you one." She took her hand away and then walked out of the room, leaving him to ponder on what she'd meant by that.
