The Last Time

Caroline thought what had got her here in the first this heartbreaking decision. Then she remembered, the way that were-slut had smirked at her like she knew Caroline had admitted defeat. That didn't stop Caroline snapping her neck though. Through her glistening tears she threw a filthy look at Tyler, who was wearing hardly any clothing and said "I can't believe you're stupid enough to ask if I could forgive you, Tyler. We are totally done!" She stormed out of his house- slamming the door shut. Caroline had no idea where she would be driving so she decided on going home, hoping she could talk to her mother at least. She walked inside to find a note written by her mother.

Care Sweetie,

I will be working until late tonight. Maybe we can catch up tomorrow?

Stay safe and remember I love you,

Mom.

Caroline crumpled the letter in her hand –forgetting that her own mother was never here for her. She decided on changing her clothes and reapplying her makeup as her mascara was running down her face. When she decided she looked okay, she walked outside to her car and started the engine. A beep sounded and Caroline pulled over to see a message. It was Damon asking 'Blondie' if she could distract Klaus again to find out more information about Silas. She rolled her eyes at Damon's antics and didn't bother responding. Caroline decided after her and Klaus' heated discussion she wouldn't use him again. Damon kept bothering her and messages from Bonnie and Stefan rolled in, all carrying the same message. "We've got to protect Elena, do you even care Caroline?".Always about bloody Elena. Don't get her wrong, Caroline loves her friend, but will their friends ever think about Caroline for once? Sure there was one person who did, but …..he was the bad guy. She shouldn't trust him. Determined to rid herself of thoughts about Klaus she looked up to see that she had driven to the Grill. Maybe she could talk to Matt.

She waltzed into the Grill looking for a friendly face. When she found Matt he said he was sorry but didn't want to be involved with vampire drama at the moment. Great she thought, rejected by yet another person now. To get over herself, she compelled the bartender to let her drink to her hearts content. She hated herself for doing it, but she thought this was a needy time.

"Desperate times love?" Caroline inwardly groaned and turned her head only to see that smirk she knew was there.

"As if you care, anyway you would be the first!" His eyes darkened at her words. He felt her stinging words as they hit him." Don't say stuff you know isn't true, love"

"Oh,but it is, you don't know how right it second choice, the consolation shadow to Elena. The pretty and smart one" she sighed. She suddenly felt Klaus hand grab hers and take away the bottle grasped in her could she belittle herself, a source of light, so beautiful. That doppleganger never caught his interest.

"Let go Klaus, give it back!" Caroline implored, searching his azure eyes. For that moment she felt herself weaken as he stared deeply into her own eyes.

"No,love. I won't let you drink anymore and talk nonsense." He spoke quite distinctly. She surrendered and groaned. Couldn't she have one ounce of peace for a day! No rules, no judgement. Up until that moment everything was calm and she didn't mind his presence. Then She entered looking all bitchy.
