I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin solo, solo

Yeah, I'm feelin' good tonight
Finally doing me and it feels so right, oh
Time to do the things I like
Going to the club everything's alright, oh

Damon looked in the mirror at his own reflection. His eyes were still a little red, but oh well. It'd been a week since he found out about Katherines betrayel. He hadn't felt like going out but tonight he felt better. And maybe going to the club and finding a few girls to fool around with and drink from would do him some good

No one to answer to
No one that's gonna argue, no
And since I got that hold off me
I'm livin' life now that I'm free, yeah

He pulled on a black silk shirt and buttoned it up. He didn't have to tell anyone where he was going, what he was doing, or who he was doing it with. If Katherine didn't want him, he sure as hell wasn't going to pine over her.

Told me get my shit together
Now I got my shit together, yeah
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gonna get better

Stefan and Elena had both told him to go ot, to move on and he would. He just needed some time and now thing were going to be better, he'd be back to his evil, sarcastic self and everyone would be happy.

I'm so sorry that it didn't work out
I'm movin' on
I'm so sorry but it's over now
The pain is gone

I'm puttin' on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm headin' out tonight
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

He grabbed his Ray-Bans and put them on to cover up his eyes and the proof he'd been heart broken. He out his jacket on and grabbed his keys.

"Going out?" Stefan asked at his door.

"Yeah. I think it's about time, don't you?"

"Yeah. Have fun." Stefan walked away and Damon glanced at his reflection again, then went to his car.

I'm feelin' like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

When Damon pulled into the club, he felt so much better, even before he got out of the car. He got out of the car and two pretty girls smiled and waved as they enetered the club in front of him. He was alone and he was proud of it. But he wasn't leaving alone.

Now I'm feelin' how I should
Never knew single could feel this good, oh
Stop playin' misunderstood
Back in the game, who knew I would, oh

So fly, I'mma spread my wings
Loving myself makes me wanna sing
Oh, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

He ordered a drink first thing, alcohol made him better at everything. He could be himself here and no one cared, because they were as drunk as he was and he was extremely good looking.
A bleach blonde landed herself on the stool next to him at the bar and ordered a Sex on The Beach.

"Hi." She said, looking at him. He smiled and they flirted a bit.

"Does your boyfriend know you flirt with random guys at the club?" He asked her.

"No boyfriend." She said as a loud song came on. "I love this song. Do you want to dance?"

"Why not?" He said standing and holding his hand out to her.

Told me get my shit together
Now I got my shit together, yeah
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gonna get better

I'm so sorry that it didn't work out
I'm movin' on
I'm so sorry but it's over now
The pain is gone

He danced with the blonde and not long after a brunette and a red head joined them. He was back. He draped his arms around them and walked to the bar again.

"So which of you lovely ladies wants to accompany me home tonight?" He asked suggestivly as he ordered their dinks.

The girls giggled and he took that as an all of them. they finished the drinks and he tosed some bills on the bar, then he and the girls, left.

I'm puttin' on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm headin' out tonight
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

I'm feelin' like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

He stopped the car in the boarding house garage and the girls got out. Once inside, they all stumbled aroud, trying to find he stairs in a very drunken state.

"Damon?" Stefan asked, stepping out of the kitchen.

"Stefan!" He said putting his arm around his shoulder. "You are one cool little dude, Stefan. Now, how do I get upstairs?"

Ridin' solo, solo, I'm ridin' solo
Solo, solo, solo, solo

It's like S-O-L-O
S-O-L-O
S-O-L-O
I'm living my life, ain't got stress no more

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm headin' out tonight
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

When Damon woke up the next morning there were three girls passed out and bitten all around him. He sighed as he sat up and then woke them one by one. After compeling them to forget him, and calling them a cab, he found his way into the kitchen.

"Morning." Elena's voice said from the counter. "Looks like someone had a good night."

"Come here." He said, wiggling his finger at her. She hopped off the counter and walked over to him.

I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo

He pulled her to him in a tight embrace.

"Thank you." He whispered in her ear.

"For what?" She asked against his skin.

"Everything."

I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo
I'm ridin' solo, solo
I'm ridin' solo, solo
