Guess it’s true
I’m not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love ‘cause I’m just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don’t want you to leave
Will you hold my hand?
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
‘Cause you’re all I need
This ain’t love it’s clear to see
But darling
Stay with me
Why am I so emotional?
No it’s not a good look
Gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn’t hurt
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
‘Cause you’re all I need

It was a dark night, as he stood in the living room, and she stood in front of the threshold, speaking about all the he had done. Especially, the death of Aunt Jenna and Tyler’s mom.
“No, you know what? I’m not going to engage in this. You are not worth the calories I burn talking to you.”
Hurt from Kol’s death and Caroline’s words, he broke the lamp and stabbed her with the neck of the broken lamp. The pain made her stumble an inch inside the threshold and living room, and he took the chance. He bit into the side of her neck, as Tyler said, “No!”
Caroline fell inside the threshold.
“Now that was definitely worth the calories,” Klaus commented.
Later that night, as she lay on her back on the couch, all Klaus could do was watch her slowly die.
At one point, he looked away, tears in his eyes.
“It won’t be long now,” he assured her, not looking at her.
“I know you’re in love with me,” she whispered, having a hard time breathing.
He finally looked at her, hearing that. He hadn’t thought that she knew. She always walked away from him.
“Why would you think that?” he asked.
“Because I’ve seen it.”
“You’re hallucinating,” he reasoned.
“Which means there’s a part of you that’s human. And anyone capable of love, is capable of being saved,” she finished.
He looked at her, unsure of what to say.

She took a couple breaths, before closing her eyes. Then everything was quiet.
“Caroline,” he said. Then called to her after a moment of silent, saying, “Caroline?”
After a few moments of silence, he realized that she was just moments from joining the Other Side.
He gave a low growl, debating. He couldn’t let Tyler win, but he also knew that he couldn’t live without her. She was his light at the end of a dark tunnel. She had brought out his humanity and had taught him how to care again and love again. Besides, he loved her, and had for a year now.
He went over and sat on the couch with her back against him, and bit his wrist, putting it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to save her life, curing her.
A few moments later, she began to drink freely.
He brushed some of her hair out of the way and rested his head on top of hers.
After the spell on the living room was broken, he made sure that she got home safely.
