After reading a similar story, I decided I wanted to write my own version. What happens as Liz Forbes's wedding approaches and Caroline struggles to find the "boyfriend" she's been raving to her Mom about…

CAROLINE'S POV:

"Hi, Mom." I sighed as I answered her phone call late that morning

"Don't "hi me" like that, Caroline." she replied

"I'm sorry, I'm just running late for lectures." I admitted

"Well I just wanted to double check you're still coming home this weekend?" she asked "You are, aren't you?"

"Yes, Mom, I am." I informed her "I'll be there dinnertime Saturday."

"Great," she replied "and then the bridesmaid dress shopping can commence. I'll see you then. Love you."

"Love you too." I mirrored as she hung up the phone

STEFAN'S POV:

"Caroline, are you ready to go?" I asked my best friend as I walked into her dorm room

"Jesus, Stefan!" she proclaimed as she stuffed something under her pillow "I could've been doing anything."

"Good job you weren't then, isn't it?" I questioned "What've you just put under your pillow?"

"What?" she inquired

"You put something under your pillow, what was it?" I inquired

"Why do you care?" she asked

"I don't, it was just a question. Is it something you don't want me to see?" I asked

"Can you stop with the questions?" she inquired "We need to go!"

"Okay." I replied, holding out my arm to her

CAROLINE'S POV:

After dinner with Stefan, he escorted me back to my dorm room and I unlocked the door, stepping inside and turning to him…

"I'll see you tomorrow." he informed me

"Hey, Stefan, can you come in for a minute please?" I asked as he turned to leave

"Sure," he replied "what's up?"

I moved to my bed and pulled out the card, handing it to him… "Read it."

"Your Mom's getting married?" he questioned

I nodded my head… "Yeah, in a month."

"This is what you were hiding from me earlier, why?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow at me

"Because I don't know what to do." I admitted

"What to do about what?" he asked "You're not making any sense, Caroline…"

"I've lied," I informed him "to my Mom. She thinks I'm with someone and I'm not."

"Why does she think you're with someone?" he questioned

"Because that's what I told her. She asked and I didn't want to sound sad so I said yes. And now she's expecting him to be at the wedding, only there is no him. What am I gonna do, Stefan?" I inquired

"Okay, first of all, just calm down. We'll sort this." he assured me "How about I come?"

"What?" I asked

"How about I come with you to the wedding?" he questioned

"Mom's gonna think you're my boyfriend though…" I informed him

"So?" he inquired

"So? Are you serious?" I inquired

"Why not?" he asked "You're my best friend and I know everything about you. Pretending to be your boyfriend will be easy."

"You say that now…" I sighed

"It will be," he replied "I'm sure of it, so what do you say?"

"I'm not sure, Stefan…" I admitted "I should just tell my Mom the truth."

"You do whatever you need to," he informed me "but the offer's on the table, okay?"

I nodded my head and smiled at him thankfully as he handed the invitation back to me. Pressing his lips against my cheek, I watched as he turned and made his way to my door…

"Stefan, wait!" I proclaimed "Okay, we'll do it."

What have Caroline and Stefan gotten themselves into?
