This story...well...I'm not entirely sure what will happen but I have a lot of good ideas, just need to know how to put them together! I've had the beginning in my head for a loong while now and I just really wanted to write it down, because, you know, KLAROLINE!
Anyway, this is my 2nd story and know it's bad to start a story whilst I'm writing another, but I couldn't wait! But I'll try and update both as soon as I can! As long as you all leave me some reviews! ;)

Chapter 1
Klaus' POV
Klaus walked along the streets of a small town near New Orleans. It was his escape. A place to get away from all of the drama. Away from Hayley, Elijah and Camille. Camille was one of his issues at the moment, he felt nothing for her, in all honesty. He was using her. Which was wrong, but he needed a distraction, but this one reminded him of a certain blonde, that he had left in a town like this. He sighed. It had been almost 2 years since he had seen her, since their time in the woods. It was perfect. She was beautiful, but that was an understatement, she was stunning, spectacular, magnificent, exquisite, ravishing. There were not enough words in any language, any dictionary, any world or time to describe her. She was Caroline.
The small town reminded him of her, but he knew that he wouldn't see her again, at least in a long while. She didn't or couldn't want him, she was so moral, she had attempted to look past his demons, and she was able to forgive him, maybe even love him, but he could never make assumptions. She was hard to read, but he was always able to get a few looks into her mind, her thoughts, if she let him. But, in the end, she couldn't be his, because of those friends, she couldn't go with him because of everything that he had done, not only to her group of friends, but in the past, even with Katerina. Personally, Klaus thought that it was a bit hypocritical, that she was not able to be with him, due to the sentiments of her little group. They had all killed others and tried to kill him and even managed to take the lives of two of his brothers, not his favourite, but they were still family, and as Elijah would say. Family above all.
However, he was still the bad guy to that group of idiots. Even though they had Kol back, due to his parents revisiting, Finn was still gone. Klaus groaned, thinking of his younger brother and the havoc he was probably causing back in New Orleans. At first, Kol had wanted to revisit Mystic Falls, but Elijah persuaded him to stay. It was for the witch. The Bennett. Those 3 girls were a problem, men falling at their feet, he had fallen to the angels' feet, but she had sent him away. Klaus walked into the bar he had been visiting, these past few months. It was small, cosy. They had a different band or group of singers each day, different theme. Today was lost love and heartbreak. Klaus groaned when he saw the poster. Great he thought to himself. He already had enough on his plate without being depressed by the music. He went in, and found a booth in the small dark corner at the back. He got out his laptop, and put it on the table.
The King of New Orleans had a lot of work to do, despite his trips to the small town. He began to check through his emails, after he ordered his drinks for the night and waited for the background music to start.
Caroline's POV
"Simon come on!" Caroline groaned. She had been with the group or band or whatever they were, just different singers, singing different songs as they passed through different towns. She had been with them for almost 5 months, a different town two to three times a week. It got her mind off how crap her life was. Bonnie had been back for a while, as was Damon, everyone was fine. Just doing their own thing. She decided to leave, everyone, obviously shocked that she finally decided to do something for herself. At first she was hesitant to leave, she was like the one who was always there. After some convincing, she left. Stefan would come check up on her every month, he was due in the next few days, Caroline thought to herself.
She was pulled away from her thoughts by Simon's racket as he ran in with the band behind. There were 3 female singers, 3 guys, and then the band, which had a drummer, guitarist and a guy who would play anything suited to the song. Simon was one of the guys; he was like her best friend here. Sometimes, he'd sing songs and pull Caroline on stage and dance with her whilst singing, the crowd loved it. They weren't a couple. They had established that a few months back, when he had asked her out. But, she told him the truth; she was taking a break from guys, but wouldn't want to loose her best friend out here. That's all they were, friends.
"What are you doing! Everyone's gonna here your noise, Shhhh!" Caroline whispered angrily, she was met by a smile, which made her laugh. Her shouts and orders had no effect on him.
The curtains were closed, so they began to set up, Caroline was on 3rd. She got nervous every time, but the nerves would go when she sang, maybe because she had her eyes closed, maybe because she just loved the singing. After the set up, Caroline and Simon sat on the side as Adelaide sang Lana Del Rey's Gods and Monsters, to get everyone into the depressed mood, Caroline laughed at her own thought process. Yes, the songs got her in the mood, she thought about the lyrics and applied them to her life and yes, and he kept cropping up. 2 years later and her still had the same effect on her; she was annoyed at herself for tearing up sometimes. Yes, she was lonely, a lot, but what could anyone do. No one in Mystic Falls seemed to notice. Notice how even when they were locked out of the town, she needed to get back in. She needed someone. Stefan had gone, left. Dumped his girlfriend on her to 'start fresh' of course that was the night Damon got back. She thought she'd get him back, which she did, but it was never the same between them. He had hurt her and nothing could change the past. maybe that was why he kept checking up on her? To make it up to her. She sighed. Even Elena, with her Medic stuff, Tyler with Liv, Matt and Jeremy were human so they were in town. Her mom couldn't keep leaving the town, either. So she decided to leave. She groaned. She was doing it again, remembering. She needed to 'start fresh' just like Stefan tried.
Sometimes, at times like these, she wondered where he was. Klaus. He had gotten Hayley pregnant, he was flirting with someone called Cami, or that was what Tyler had gotten from Hayley, but that was about it. She asked him not to tell her anything else. The...the thought of him moving on hurt, even though it shouldn't. She shouldn't be hurt by this, but she was. She was his always and forever, but yet again, she was forgotten about, just like her friends. That was why she needed to start fresh. The only person she had to keep going back for was her mother, and even Bonnie.
Adelaide had finished and now, Lily was up singing Rihanna's Love the way you Lie. She had memorised all of the songs by now, she had listened to them almost everyday, and it was part of her. Lily sang, and Caroline shook, she was nervous again. Then the lights dimmed and she was up. She walked to centre stage and began to sing when they turned back on.
I know I can be a little stubborn sometimes
A little righteous and too proud
I just wanna find a way to compromise
Cause I believe that we can work things out
I thought I had all the answers
Never giving in
But baby since you've gone
I admit that I was wrong,
All I know is that I'm Lost Without You,
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you?
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
And we ended it with goodbye,
I don't know what I'd do...
I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to find my way,
But all I know is I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to face the day
I'm Lost Without You
How am I ever gonna get rid of these blues
Baby I'm so lonely all the time
Klaus' POV
This song was a good one, the voice fitted with the lyrics perfectly. Angelically. He struggled and debated whether or not to look up from his laptop, but then he heard the slight waver in the voice, she was upset, he was about to look and stare when he saw someone all too familiar. Stefan Salvatore. Surprisingly, the boy seemed to stand still in the middle of the bar and smiled, Klaus trailed his smile. Then he saw her. Caroline. The only woman who had managed to make an impact on him. The only one he would do anything for, the only one he would without hesitation put before himself, die for. He watched her as she beamed up from her sad look as soon as she saw Stefan. She was happy. Klaus smiled. She was really here, and she was happy. He wanted to go up and kiss her, but he couldn't. Instead he forced himself to stay put and watch.
Everywhere I go I get so confused
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Oh my bed's so cold at night
And I miss you more each day
Only you can make it right
No I'm not too proud to say...
All I know is that I'm Lost Without You,
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you?
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
And we ended it with goodbye,
I don't know what I'd do...
I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to find my way,
But all I know is I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to face the day
I'm Lost Without You
If I could only hold you now
And make the pain just go away
Can't stop the tears from running down my face
Ohh
All I know is that I'm Lost Without You,
I'm not gonna lie
How am I gonna be strong without you?
I need you by my side
If we ever said we'll never be together
And we ended it with goodbye,
I don't know what I'd do...
I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to find my way,
But all I know is I'm Lost Without You
I keep trying to face the day
But all I find is that
I'm Lost Without Your Love
I keep trying to find my way
But all I know is I'm lost without you...
Lost Without You - Delta Goodrem
Klaus watched her take her bow, then walk off stage to Stefan; she ran up to him and hugged him. The pair were inseparable. Klaus smiled again. The couple next to him gave him a weird look which was met by a laugh on his part. Klaus Mikaelson, scaring people with smiles. He chuckled to himself as he watched Stefan and Caroline sit down.
Caroline's POV
"So, what brings you here, oh I forgot, your monthly visit!" Caroline said sarcastically. She liked him coming, but it was annoying, but it was Stefan. So she let him off. "Don't kill me but I was worried about you." Stefan said with a smile as he looked into her deep blue eyes.
"Why, there is nothing to be worried about. I'm just singing." Caroline said with a forced smile. She knew what he meant.
"Well I'd be more inclined to leave you, if you didn't have that look on your face while you sang, those songs, you're going over the past over and over again. You need to move on Care." Stefan smiled encouragingly.
"I know, and I have. I have moved on, it's all about me now. No one else." Caroline said angrily. How dare he imply that she was still upset about Klaus of all people? She felt like punching him, but stopped herself.
"No you haven't, you're angry, angry that you gave up your chances at love because of all of us, you're angry that everything is about Elena and that no one cares who gets hurt. But most of all, you're lonely, you told Elena, and she told me. You're lonely; so you decide to leave, make new friends. That's not how it works Care. You need to properly move on, he has too." Stefan replied to her comment.
"I did move on, a long while ago, when I shredded the drawing, when I got rid of the dresses, the bracelets everything. And I know that he's moved on, with Hayley, with that bartender that Ty told me about. I'm happy for him; it just annoyed me that he promised he'd wait. But I'm over it now, OK. So leave me alone Stefan." Caroline said her emotions in overdrive.
"Now we all know that you didn't move on when you got rid of all that crap, you started to move on when you told Elena that you were lonely, then it all stopped. Now you're all depressed and mopey, we all want our Care back. Ever since you heard about the baby and Cami or whatever, this happened. Now find someone hot enough and make out with them, otherwise you'll turn into me!" Stefan joked, which managed to get a smile out of Caroline, which quickly turned into a laugh. It was short-lived though by her phone ringing.
It was Bonnie. She was confused, why would Bonnie be ringing her? Especially now?
"Hey Bon! How are you?!" Caroline said smiling towards Stefan, who rolled his eyes at her enthusiasm.
"Hey, Care, I... I need to tell you something. It's about your mom." Bonnie said her voice shaking.
"Bonnie, you're scaring me, what is it?" Caroline half joked.
"Your mom, she was in a crash. She's in surgery, but...but...they...they don't think she's gonna make it." Bonnie started to cry on the other end. Stefan's eyes widened, he looked at Caroline who's eyes were wide, who's hand were shaking, who...who broke down in front of him.
Klaus' POV
Caroline's mother. Liz. How could this have happened, it would destroy Caroline, he was going to rush over, but decided against it, she had enough on her plate. He would go to Mystic Falls just to check on her. He watched.
"Care, Care?" Stefan said frantically.
"I...I...we have to go. She needs blood. Damon or Elena should give her blood, she'll be better then. She'll be fine. It's all my fault. I left and this is what happened to her. I did this." Caroline began to bawl; it felt like her heart was being ripped out. Stefan helped her up and began to help her walk outside.
"Don't worry Care, shhhh, it's ok. It's ok. We'll go home, and check on her. Yeah? Come on, come on, shhhhh, it's not your fault, it will never be your fault, it's no ones fault, it's it's fate." Stefan sighed. He couldn't tear up; he needed to be strong for Caroline. He placed her in the car and sat in the driver seat, he began to drive off.
As soon as they had left, Klaus began to follow, he needed to check on her, he ran to his car, and began to ring Elijah. He wouldn't be back for at least a few days. She was too important and too hurt, he needed to be there for her. He had to.
So did you all like that?! Any ideas I'm happy to try and add into the fic, just leave it in the reviews!
