She tossed her golden mane over her shoulder, and smiled that iconic smile, as she strutted down the red carpet. Caroline Forbes was Hollywood's golden girl, and one of the most beloved actresses in America. She was the classic example of small town girl makes good, and people just ate it up. Ever since she was 15 and landed her first big role in the remake of Dracula, she has been on every magazine cover, every news channel, and gossip website. The public couldn't get enough of her.

The photographers screamed at her from all directions, "Caroline, Caroline over here!" She gazed at all the cameras in one swoop, her eyes flitting from lens to lens with skill. "Great now can we get some of the two of you together?" Caroline smiled and looked at her boyfriend who was a few feet behind her on the red carpet.

"Sure, no problem" she said as she walked over to his side. She slipped her manicured hand into one of his and the crowd went wild. The cameras started flashing like crazy, as they screamed their names. "Caroline, Tyler over here!" They stood there for a while longer before finally heading inside to the premiere.

"Ughh, I thought that would never end" Caroline said turning to her boyfriend.

"It's your movie Care, it's kind of a given that they would want pictures of you" Tyler said very matter of factly.

Caroline glanced at him, and forced a smile, before grabbing his hand and pulling him deeper into the room. She let her eyes scan the large group of people, before they finally found there target. "Come on" she said as she walked over to her manager.

"Caroline! Oh good you're here, I just saw David walk in the room" Elena Gilbert said in an animated tone.

"Shut up, shut up he actually came?" Caroline squealed while jumping up and down. She threw her arms around Tyler and hugged him.

"Wow Caroline, that's great" he said while hugging her back.

Caroline smiled at her supportive boyfriend before pulling back to look at her manager again.

"I just can't believe he actually showed up, do you think this means he is actually considering me?" she asked Elena, her voice full of excitement and hope.

"I think there is definitely a strong chance, I heard from a reliable source that he has auditioned a couple other people for the role but that he is strongly leaning towards going with you" Elena replied.

Caroline's smile grew even bigger; she couldn't believe that this was happening. Her. Caroline Forbes. Small town girl. Actually had the shot of being in a David O. Russell movie. She had worked her ass off for 10 years and it was finally paying off. She loved her fans, and she knew that she had an amazing career, but she longed to be taken more seriously as an actress. She didn't want to be that blonde headed beauty, who stuck around for a couple years, and then disappeared. She wanted to be like Meryl, or Julia Roberts, someone that young girls could respect, and look up to, because of their talent not their genes.

"Okay, well when do you think he will make his official decision?" Caroline asked

"Hopefully if everything goes well tonight, and he enjoys the movie, he'll let you know at the after party."

Caroline squealed again jumping up and down, she was so incredibly excited she couldn't even contain herself. She looked at Tyler, still jumping up and down, "can you believe this?"

"Of course I can Care, no one can compete with your start power, think of all the press that you will attract to the project!" he said

Caroline scoffed "um yeah, and you know, my skills, think of all the skills and determination I can bring to the character" she said, annoyance heavy in her tone. Tyler, seemingly not having noticed his girlfriend's annoyance towards him nodded and looked around, "hey I'm gonna go grab us some drinks babe, I'll be right back" and with that he walked away.

Caroline watched him go with a look of exasperation. When she first started going out with Tyler she was head over heels for him. She was so young, and naïve and he was the perfect gentlemen. Always encouraging her, and telling her how beautiful she was. It also didn't hurt that he was a teen heartthrob. But as the years have gone on, it just seems like he is more interested in just being a part of Hollywood's "it couple" than he actually cares about her. Her mind kept wandering on the topic for a while before she shook herself back to reality. "Stop it Caroline, you're just nervous about the movie, and you're making up excuses" she mentally scolded herself. Yeah, that's it she was really anxious and she was just trying to come up with fake problems with her boyfriend to take her mind off things. Her and Tyler were the perfect couple. Really.

"Caroline" Elena shouted, interrupting her daydreaming. "Did you even here anything I just said?"

Caroline looked up at her manager, who was giving her an apprehensive look "Oh, sorry Elena I'm just preoccupied, what were you saying again?"

Elena stared at Caroline, not quite buying her story but not quite caring enough to question it further, "I was saying that Tyler just sent me a text saying that he had a sudden meeting with his publicist about something urgent and that he had to leave, he told me to tell you he was really sorry." Elena said a look of sympathy in her eyes.

"Oh" Caroline said, her tone full of disappointed. "Um, yeah ok thanks for telling me" she said as she looked around the room.

"Are you okay Caroline?" Elena questioned

Caroline looked at Elena, her eyes full of pity, and with good reason. Tyler always ditched Caroline's events. It seemed that when it came to their relationship Tyler's things were always more important than hers.

Caroline cleared her throat, "yeah I'm fine I'm just gonna go freshen up before the movie starts I'll catch you late" and then she walked away, desperately trying to ignore the unconvinced look coming from Elena. Why did Tyler always have to do this to her? She stood by his side at all of his stupid movie premieres, and then on one of the most important nights of her life he ditches her for a "publicist emergency". What. An. Asshole. She shouldn't let this bother her this bad but it did. Caroline was still thinking over all of this, when in a preoccupied manner she bumped into someone, accidentally falling on top of them.

She was hurriedly trying to get her bearings as she began to sit up "I am so sorry I didn't even see you there" she said as she stood up.

She bent down and was picking up all the things that fell out of her purse. As she finally collected all her things she began to stand up,

"Really, I apologi- she began to say, but she forgot what she was saying when she finally laid her eyes on the person she had pumped into. Niklaus Mikaelson. Hollywood's notorious bad boy. She had heard many bad things about him, but one thing was for sure, he was gorgeous. Full on, sex in a bottle, gorgeous. He had golden blonde hair, with tiny little curls in it, which made him look like he just woke up. His jaw was covered in matching gold stubble that added a certain grungy sex appeal. But the thing she couldn't stop staring at were his eyes. His clear blue, icy eyes. They held certain vulnerability, but also a very prominent edge, a danger. She was still staring in these eyes when he finally spoke.

"Sorry love, that was my bad" he said, "my very bad" he added, a dirty smirk growing on his face, as his eyes raked up and down over her body. She was snapped out of her reverie by his words.

"Excuse me?" Caroline scoffed, clearly not finding his innuendo funny.

"Well if you would prefer to have been the bad one, all you had to do was say so." He said cockily, as he stepped far too close to her to be appropriate.

"Seriously" Caroline laughed, "that's your pickup line, some stupid crap about me being bad." She rolled her eyes at him. "Do you know who I am?"

She watched the slight surprise in his eyes at her response, but he quickly recovered, by stepping again closer. Caroline's eyes widened a little at his close proximity, she could now feel his breath on her lips, and her eyes kept drifting down to his lips. She was snapped out of her trance when she heard him say "no but I want to, what do you say we get out of here?" he said smugly grabbing her hand.

"Ughh" Caroline said, pushing him away from her, "you are seriously a pig", and with that she stalked past him and into the theatre.

The movie had just ended. And everyone loved it. Caroline was ecstatic, graciously accepting the many compliments she received from people walking by. She stood with Elena, at the after party, waiting for David.

"Are you sure he's coming" she asked Elena for the 20th time.

"Yes Caroline, he's coming" Elena said, "I'm sure of it."

Another 5 minutes went by and just when Caroline was about to ask her 21st question, Elena tapped Caroline and whispered animatedly in her ear "Caroline he's here."

Caroline whipped around, turning to where Elena was looking. And she saw him; David was walking right towards them a giant smile on his face. Caroline could feel all the nights' anxiety building up again. This was it. Her chance. Her chance to prove herself and it was all riding on what David said.

"Caroline, Elena!" David greeted them cheerily as he shook each of their hands.

"I must say Caroline, that movie was simply superb, it was truly a work of art."

Caroline and Elena grinned at each other quickly before turning back to the director in front of them.

"Thank you so much Mr. O. Russell that means a lot coming from you" Caroline beamed.

"Yes, well after seeing that performance I am more sure now than ever, that I would like to offer you the part of Elizabeth in my new movie." David said smiling

"Oh my gosh are you serious, I would be incredibly honored thank you so much, I won't let you down," Caroline gushed

David laughed, "Oh I'm sure of such, anyway there is someone I think you should meet Caroline," David said looking around, "hold on let me just find them."

When David walked away Elena and Carolina immediately glanced at each other jumping up and down.

"You did it Caroline it's yours." Elena said

"I know I can't believe it! I am so happy nothing could ruin my mood right now!" Caroline proclaimed laughing.

It seems she spoke too soon though, because at that precise moment she heard David from over her shoulder, "Caroline, I'd like you to meet your costar, Niklaus Mikaelson."

Caroline turned around, the blood draining from her face, as she laid eyes on the biggest asshole in Hollywood. The cocky smirk, still cemented on his place, he grabbed her hand bringing it to his lips, as he said in that incredibly sexy British accent, "Hello love , long time no see."
