Backstory: It was Caroline's birthday a.k.a funeral. She was unhappy and it was Klaus' fault.

Not much of a backstory but hey, I don't think the backstory is important. (: Now on to the good stuff. (:

Chapter 1- Caroline's Big Day.

*I can see the writing on the wall. I can't ignore this war. At the eh-end of it all. Who am I living for?*

Caroline's stereo/alarm clock started playing music which meant it was time to man up and get ready for the day that lies ahead. Her birthday. She'd been dreading this day since Damon, with the help of Katherine, had turned her into the blood sucking monster. She hated that she was supossed to turn 18 today but technically she wouldn't. She reached over to her bedside table and hit the snooze button. She thought to herself, 'The birthday girl can be late.'

-10-15 minutes later-

*I can see the writing on the wall. I can't ignore this war. At the eh-end of it all. Who am I living for?*

"Ugh, this damn song is going to drive me crazy," Caroline groaned as she rolled out of bed and made her way to her overflowing closet.
'What the hell does a vampire wear on her birthday?' She thought. After pondering on that thought she finally picked out a slimming pair of jeans and a white tank top. Around her neck was a pink and orange scarf. She was ready to fake happiness and try to make it through the day.

Elena, Matt and Bonnie had agreed the previous night to get to school early and decorate Caroline's locker. Balloons, Silly String, A poster. The works. Bonnie arrived at Caroline's locker just as Elena hung the last balloon.

"Looks good," she said.

"Thanks. Damon blew the balloons up. He insisted on being a part of Caroline's birthday. He understands what she may feel more then we do," Elena said with a sigh.

She felt bad for Caroline. She felt bad throwing her a party. She didn't want Caroline to feel like she was alone. Even though they were all going to pass away and Caroline would still be 17. She will always be 17.

Elena took the poster from Bonnie and hung it on the locker door. "Poster looks great Bon."

"Thanks." Elena could hear the sadness in Bon's voice. She knew it was none of her business but she had to ask, she didn't like seeing her bestfriend upset because of something her brother did. "Have you talked to Jer?"

"No Elena. Honestly I don't think I can, you know that. I am way too emotional to confront him about Anna. He lied to me Elena. It's done with," Bonnie said almost in tears. She wiped her eyes and hurried off to the little girls room.

Caroline pulled up to the school, turned her car off and just sat there. She sat there staring into thin air. She really didn't want to get out and face the day. 'Couldn't I just crawl back into bed and never get out,' She thought to herself. Just as she was getting ready to crank her car back up, she noticed Tyler sitting on a bench, looking around the parking lot. No doubt he was looking for her. She got out and walked over to sit next to him.

"Happy Birthday."

"Tyler stop. I hate my birthday."

"Since when Caroline?"

"Since I became a monster Tyler. Since I realized I'm never going to age. Since I realized i'm stuck at 17 FOREVER. "

"Caroline, I love you. Can you just try to be happy for one day? We will take this one day at a time."

"If you say so," Caroline got up and walked to the front of the school. She took a deep breath and adjusted her top and scarf and entered Mystic Falls High School. She casually nodded at the kids who wished her happy birthday as she made her way to her locker. When she saw her locker she stopped dead in her tracks. She wanted to cry. Who did this? Just as the tears started running down her face, Elena, Bon and Matt came around the corner and yelled "Happy Birthday!"

Caroline bursted into tears. They all stopped dead in their tracks, wondering what they had done wrong. Why was she crying? It's her birthday.

Elena calmly walked up to Car, and asked "What's wrong?"

"I just need to go home. This is too much. I'll text you all when I'm ready to talk," Car said with tears in her eyes. She turned and calmly left.

As she was driving through this tragic town she begin wonder what she would do once all her friends passed on. They wouldn't live forever she knew that. She just didn't want to be alone. Yes, there is Damon and Stefan, but Damon is an ass hat and Stef is way to fucking broody for me. 'I need adventure,' she thought to herself. She started thinking about the good and bad memories she had in her Mystic Falls. The bad outweighed the good, unfortunatley. Damon had used her as a personal blood bag and sex toy. He also fed her blood and Katherine killed her. Her bestfriend was being used a blood bag by an all powerful hybrid. Her boyfriend was a hybrid sired to an evil british hybrid. Her mom had discovered she was a vampire. Her own father tried to kill her. 'wow,' she thought to herself, 'once you put it all out there, a lot has fucking happened in this one horse town.'
