Chapter One:

Part One: We Are Never Ever Ever Ever Getting Back Together

It was Autumn is Mystic Falls. It had always been Caroline's favorite season. The weather get's crisper and the clothes get cuter and the leaves start to turn.

She was watching the trees Dance in the wind from her seat on her front porch. She was enjoying the sunny say by writing in her journal, a habit she had picked up from Elena and sipping on some blood (in a travel mug so no one could see.)

Today's journal entry was about her visit yesterday to Tyler's. She had gone over to his house so they could watch a movie and he blew her off like he didn't want her there at all. Their relationship had it's up's and downs over the 8 months they'd been together but they always managed to make it through.

The two of them had first gotten together when she had helped him through his first transition into a wolf. It was hard for him both of them but Caroline was happy to have helped him because ever since that first transition there was a bond between them that no one else would ever understand. His transition into a werewolf had brought them together.

"Lovely day isn't it?" Asked a familiar voice.

Caroline looked up from her journal and saw Klaus.

"What are you doing here?" she said ignoring his question.

"I was relaxing from a long day yesterday and thought to myself 'I haven't seen Caroline since our passionate almost-tryst in the woods, I should pay her a visit'" Klaus informs her with a smirk.

"Did you come looking for a repeat?" She replies in a sarcastic tone.

"Thank you for the offer but I think I'll wait until you mean those words."

"You'll be waiting a long time." She snorts.

"That's the wonderful thing about immortality, I've got nothing but time." He says smoothly. "Eventually you will come around and then I'll show you the world beyond Mystic Falls."

Caroline feels a shiver go through her body. She didn't like that he could have that effect on her. She needed to get rid of him. Now.

"When are you going to get it? I don't want you Klaus. You're a mass murderer with no conscience, no friends, not even any family because they all either left you or died because of you. Why would leave Tyler for that?"

He was fuming. Maybe she had gone too far. She wanted him to leave her alone but the look on his face was past angry and look more murderous. After a moment his face seems to ease and she could see the hurt that laid between his eyes.

"You think Tyler is so much better then me but let me tell you something, he's no prince Caroline. There's a lot that you don't know."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ask him about Hailey. See what he's has to say." Klaus says then turns and leaves leaving a dumbfounded Caroline alone.

9:30pm. Caroline's House.
Caroline

I didn't want to believe what Klaus hinted at about Tyler cheating on me. He was just jealous because I had no interest in him and he's used to getting what he wants.

I'm sitting on the porch waiting for Tyler to get here. He called about an hour ago telling me that he was coming over and that he needed to talk to me. I tried to ask him what was wrong but he hung up before I could finish the question. I was nervous. Maybe there was some truth to what Klaus had said.

I see his SUV pull into my driveway. I watch him get out of the car and I'm about to go and greet him but something on his face tells me that I should stay where I am.

This isn't going to be good I think to myself.

"Tyler, what's wrong?" I ask full of concern.

"I need to tell you something." he says nervously.

I glance around my neighborhood and see people out walking their dogs and an old couple across the street sitting on their porch.

"Ok, well lets go inside and talk where it's more private." If this has to do with anything with the werewolves or vampires I figure we should talk where no one can over hear.

I walk inside and he follows me. We go to the living room. He avoids eye contact as he motions to my couch hinting that he wants me to sit.

"I don't want to sit. You're scaring me, Tyler." I put my hands on either side of his face "Tell me what's wrong."

"There's something I need to tell you but when I do I need you to keep an open mind and not overreact."

"Ok…"

"You know when I went away to learn how to break Klaus' sire bond on me?"

I nod. He went away for a month to try gain control over himself. When he got home from that trip we broke up because he said he needed space. We got back together after a couple weeks.

"Well I met a girl named Hailey who is also a werewolf and she helped me."

I take my hands away from his face. Klaus was telling the truth.

"We became really close" he continues "She helped me through the worst of it. She's showed me how to break the sire bond."

"Why are you telling me this?" I ask knowing I don't really want to know the answer.

"Because one night after we both turned back into our human forms things started to happen, things I'm not proud of. One things just kind of lead to another and before I knew it was done and I couldn't take it back"

I refuse to look at him. He went off to break his bond and control his werewolf side to help our relationship and instead he ends up in bed with another girl? I'm shocked, disgusted, and above all pissed.

"Caroline, look at me." He reaches his hand out to my chin you lift my face.

I push his hand away and glare at him.

"Leave. Now." I say in the strongest voice I can muster.

"Caroline please, it didn't mean anything-"

"Don't you dare say that!" I interrupt him, yelling now. "It means something to me! You cheated on me! And you've been lying about it!"

"I haven't lied" he tries.

"Well you sure as hell haven't been honest, have you? Hell why are you even telling me now? You could've gotten away for it for God knows how long!"

"Klaus-"

"Don't bring him into this, this was all you Tyler."

"He found out and I wanted to tell you before he had a chance to."

"How very generous of you." I snap

He steps towards me

"Don't come near me." I tell him. I hold in my tears. "Just leave me the hell alone."

"Caroline, I'm sorry."

"LEAVE!" I yell at the top of my lungs. My vampire features are starting to show with my anger.

He backs away wide eyed, than a moment later he leaves.

I walk to my room and slam the door behind me. I turn around and lean my back against and rest my tense body against the door.

How could he do this to me?

I slide down to the ground letting myself cry.

I always knew he was bad news. He treated Vicki like she was nothing, he used to fight Jeremy, he made out with Matt's mom. I don't know why I expected him to be any better then cheating when he clearly wasn't. It was stupid of me to think he had changed. He was always picking fights with me. Like the time he got mad at me for keeping the picture of me that Klaus drew. I told him it didn't mean anything but he refused to believe me. Half our dates would end up in a screaming match.

I get up, turn off the light then climb into my bed and go to sleep.

Around midnight I hear my phone ringing. Disoriented from my sleep, I reach out to grab it from my nightstand and answer it without checking who it is.

"Hello?" I say, my voice still groggy from sleep.

"Caroline, it's me"

"Tyler, why are you calling me? I asked you to leave me alone."

"I wanted to talk to you. I think we can work through this. I still love you Caroline"

"This is exhausting Tyler, we are never getting back together" I tell him "Like ever."

I hang up before he can say anything else.

Part 2: 22

Noon. Caroline's House.

I wake up the next morning feeling in desperate need of a shower. I fell asleep in my jeans and make-up on. I now had Mascara lines down my entire face, hair that made me look like a lion and wrinkles all over my clothes.

I pick up my phone to check the time and find that I have 3 missed calls and 2 texts all from Elena saying things like "Caroline, call me as soon as you get this" and "Caroline, still waiting for you to call". It was safe to assume she knew about my break-up with Tyler.

Deciding I should get this conversation over with now, I find Elena's name in my contacts and call her.

"Caroline, I heard about you and Tyler." She say's before I can even greet her.

"How?" I ask.

"Stefan told me he ran into him last night and he told him you guys had broken up. What happened? Are you ok? Do you want to talk about it?"

"I'm fine Elena, I mean it sucks but it was for the best, you know?" Elena means well and all but I feel like I'm the one trying to make her feel better in this conversation.

"Do you think it's for good this time?"

"It is for me. He called me last night but I blew him off. I mean he cheated on me, I can't just forgive him."

"Oh my God, Caroline I'm so sorry."

"Me too" a let out a bitter laugh

"I know what will cheer you up. Tonight You, Bonnie and I will go to The Grill, have fun and just forget about guys for the night. It's Hipster night and I think there's a band performing tonight so we can get dressed up and dance."

"I don't know Elena, I was looking forward to having a date with Ben and Jerry and some Friends re-runs tonight." I joke

"I'll tell you what, lets go out first and if you still want to spend the night in your pj's watching TV and eating rocky road then by all means you can go home. Sound good?"

"I guess but what if Tyler shows up?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll have Stefan keep him away from The Grill for the night."

8:00pm. The Grill.

The Grill is full of people standing around the stage watching some local band do covers of today's popular songs. Elena, Bonnie and I are dancing along to the music with everyone else in the room. Each of us dressed for the occasion in graphic T-shirts, plaid, skinny jeans and sneakers. Bonnie has on fake black rimmed glasses and I'm wearing a triangle scarf.

"Elena you are a genius! This is just what I needed!" I yell over the music

"I knew it would cheer you up!" She replies grinning ear to ear.

"I don't know about you guys but I need to take a break, I'm going back to the booth" Bonnie laughs.

"I'll join you" I tell her "I need to top up my drink anyway."

I may not be 21 but that's one of the perks of being a vampire, I can just compel the bartender to give me any drink I want.

Bonnie and I make our way to our booth and take seat across from each other just as Matt is about to walk by.

"Hey Matt!" I say getting to his attention "Do you think you could do me a favor and get me a refill?"

"Caroline, I could get fired for serving you alcohol underage" he explains

"Don't worry, I took care of Steve" I say pointing at the bartender who waves when he see's me looking at him.

"You let her compel Steve?" he asks Bonnie

"Normally I wouldn't but she's had a rough day and it's not like she's hurting anyone." Bonnie shrugs. "She's only having a couple drinks."

"Exactly!" I say "It's not like I'm going to make it to 21 anyways. I'm stuck forever at 17 so the perks of adulthood may as well start now. I hold my drink up in the air to make my point.

Matt just shakes his head, grabs my glass and walks away.

"Now promise me you'll watch how many drinks you have." Bonnie says, her maternal side showing.

Vampire or not, Alcohol still effects me. I'm thankful for it because it makes me feel a little bit more like a human again.

"I promise" I smile at her

Midnight

"How many Drinks has she had?" I hear Elena ask Bonnie

"I don't know, she said she would only have a couple but I can guarantee she's had more then a couple." Bonnie responds

"Great, What are we going to do?"

"Guys I'm fine, just a little sleepy. I think I'll just head home now."

"Caroline, you can't drive like this."

"Ok, I won't drive, I'll walk."

"I can give you a drive." Bonnie offers

"No really, it's ok. I'm ok to walk. Vampire ,remember? I few drinks might make me a little tipsy but it doesn't impair my ability to rip off potential attackers heads."

"I don't know, I don't feel right about it." Elena says

"I need the time to clear my head. It'll do me some good. I promise to text you when I get home if it'll make you feel better" I assure her

"Ok, but if I don't hear from you in half an hour I'm coming looking for you."

"Deal. Now just enjoy the rest of your night" I give her a hug "Call Stefan and tell him your dying to see him and that he can stop distracting Tyler now and come write poetry about you or whatever the heck he does when you guys get together."

Ya, I'm definitely a little drunk.

"Very funny."

"No, Very true." I laugh and hug Bonnie goodbye

"I'll call you tomorrow." Bonnie tells me

I search through my purse for my keys as I exit The Grill and walk straight into Klaus.
