Chapter One
Caroline was overjoyed. It seemed like for once, everything in her life was how it's supposed to be. Despite everything her and her friends have gone through in the past year, she has graduated high school with her two best friends. There were so many times within the past year where she didn't think anyone would make it through the night, let alone to their high school graduation.
And then there's Tyler. Klaus has finally allowed Tyler to return to Mystic Falls. Caroline still felt like she was in a dream. And even though Silas is still out there somewhere, Caroline wouldn't allow him to ruin her moment of peace and happiness.
"Can you believe it Care, we actually made it!" Elena came up and hugged her best friend.
"I know. We need a picture, c'mon Bonnie." The three best friends huddled in close while Stefan snapped their photo. "You guys look great." Stefan said with a smile.
"So, what're we going to do with ourselves now?" Elena asked, tears creeping into her eyes. Caroline came over to hold her in a hug "Oh guys I'm sorry. My emotions are still in a whack after turning them back on. And seeing Jeremy today was more than I could've ever wished for. I just wish he could experience it for himself."
Caroline braced herself for oncoming tears. "Elena, no one can blame you for turning your emotions off. You out of all of us have been through too much for one person to handle on your own, but that's why you have us."
"Caroline's right. We'll all always be here for you, and for each other." Stefan chimed in.
They said their goodbyes for now after planning to all meet at the Grill later tonight.
"Hey Ty, it's me again. Please call me as soon as you can, it's so important. I love you." Growing frustrated, Caroline left her third voicemail on Tyler's cell.
Caroline decided to head home and change into some comfy clothes before meeting everyone at the Grill. Pulling into her driveway she noticed Klaus standing on her front porch.
"Ah Caroline, there you are sweetheart. I've just come by to once again congratulate you on your graduation. I'm… proud of you." Klaus said sincerely, flashing her his sexiest smile. Caroline couldn't help the way he sometimes made her feel.
"Thank you so much Klaus, for everything you've done tonight. You'll never know what this means to me." Said Caroline honestly. She walked forward and planted a light kiss on his cheek. "Goodnight Klaus." She smiled.
"More like goodbye, Caroline. Once I leave here I'm off to New Orleans for a while." Klaus noticed Caroline frown a little. "But I meant what I said earlier love -", He stepped a little closer, "- I fully intend to be your last love." He said in all seriousness, starting her in the eyes. She gave a slight grin "Goodbye Klaus."
"Until we meet again, love." And then he was gone.
Caroline hesitated in her doorway. Was she actually going to miss Klaus? After everything he's done and all the people he's killed, he always showed Caroline a sweeter side to him. She knows that deep down he's capable of compassion and love, and she wonders if anyone will ever see that side to him.
She let out a small sigh and went into her house.
