So this is a different kind of Klaroline story. I dunno the reaction I'll get from you guys but I hope you like because I really like the idea for this story. It's not exactly a happy story but I think it's a pretty good story that I have in my head. Anyhow, here's the prologue!
Prologue
Miles away, I can still feel you
Lay your head down on my embrace
This isn't a happy story. This doesn't have a happily ever after. This story isn't about how two people fall in love and get married. This is a story about running wild and free in your youth only for it to be shattered in the end. This is about how you fall in love and sometimes, things don't work. This is a story about how a love burning like a match can end with a drop of water.
This is the story between Caroline Forbes and I and how we fell in love only for it to fall apart. The story of how I had been so happy only for everything to end so suddenly. The story of two young kids tainted by the blackness of the world trying to live through it. This is my not so happily ever after. This is the summer I lost everything.
I can't tell you that what happened is something that people remembered. What is there to remember about the boy who'd give his life for a girl who was already gone? This isn't easy to admit but everyone forgot about it so quickly, that is everyone but me. I can't forget. I won't forget that fateful night.
Caroline burned through this world like a shooting star. There for a simply moment, gone for the rest of eternity. There's no one that will ever be her and there's no comparison to her. She lit up my night sky for a simple summer but that summer is etched on my heart for all of eternity. All the other stars in the sky seemed so dull, so dim after her. She had been the girl I had been dying to meet.
Everything about her is etched into my soul. The way her body curved against mine, the way her smile lit up her face, the way my world seemed complete with her. Everything. I'll never forget her.
She was taken from me so early. She was lost to me from the get go.
Even to this day, I refuse to let her go. I still see flickers of her blonde curls running behind buildings and despite knowing she's gone, I chase after it only to be disappointed. I still feel the remains of her laughter in dead silence. I still feel her touch ghosting against my bare skin. I still see her smile in my dreams. To this day, she haunts me. She's my own personal ghost. The girl I can't let go of.
Caroline Forbes gave me everything only for things to shatter. She was the perfect stain glass window and I was the church that held her. She was the only thing I could ever asked for in my life and she flickered out like a Casanova. She protected me when I was supposed to protect her. I was her downfall. I was her end. I am the reason she dimmed so quickly.
This story isn't one for the history books. This story isn't a Shakespearean novel. This isn't Romeo and Juliet. This isn't how I gave everything I could to a girl that walked away. She left me but not by choice.
This is my not so happy happily ever after.
I know that's a really short chapter but I promise you, it gets better. There are probably a lot of questions going through your head but I'm not going to give any spoilers. I feel like this is a great way for Klaus to introduce this story. (The story itself is told from Klaus's point of view as well.) Anyhow, any review would be welcomed with open arms.
