You Remind Me

Summary: Set in S1, 2, and 5. Just a datherine songfic based on "How You Remind Me."

The Descent

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

Tired of living like a blind man

I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

Damon stood on a road ranting to a stranger he was about to have for dinner.

"I can't be who she wants me to be, which means I can't be who I am."

The Return

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I'm been down

Been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream, "are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

It's not like you didn't know that

I said I love you and I swear I still do

And it must have been so bad

Cause living with me must have damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It was a dark night, as Katherine stood in front of him. He'd just asked her to tell him the truth about her feelings for him. She knew he'd chase her to the end of the world and die for her, but she couldn't have him do that. She knew Klaus would be coming sooner rather than later. She had to make him let her go and the only way to do that was to break his heart. She'd rather him hate her than to have to watch him die.

She looked at him and, making it look like she was telling him the truth, said, "The truth is...I've never loved you."

As her words sank in, she walked away, hating what she'd just done.

Filled with anger, Damon grabbed a shot glass and through it at the fireplace, before leaving to go have several shots of Bourbon.

The Last Day

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I've been down

Been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream "are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

It was a beautiful day at Ric's apartment, as Katherine danced around with music blaring. As she did, she continued drinking a bottle of Bourbon.

No Exit

Never made it as a wise man

I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

This is how you remind me

Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry

I was waiting on a different story

This time I'm mistaken

For handing you a heart worth breaking

And I've been wrong, I've been down

Been to the bottom of every bottle

These five words in my head

Scream, "are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?

Yeah, yeah, no, no

It was a dismal night, as she stood in front of him, knowing she wouldn't survive. If she was going to die though, she'd feed on what he thought of her as these days. She'd be the bitch everyone hated.

"Damon, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I turned you. I'm sorry that I made you who you are, because I'm the one that gave you purpose. I'm the one that taught you how to love and gave you passion, drive, desire."

He didn't say anything except, "Goodbye, Katherine. I'll see you in hell."
