This is wrong
I should be gone
Yet here we lay
Cause I can't stay away
Caroline was in Klaus's house while all of his siblings were out. He was lounging on the sofa with her next to him. She knew it was wrong to be there, he had tried to kill her and her friends more than once, but she couldn't seem to stay away from him.
"We can't keep doing this Klaus, it's wrong."
"Why is it wrong?"
"Because you've tried to kill us more than once!"
"That has nothing to do with what we're doing."
Roses bloom
In your dirty room
I come to play
Cause I can't stay away
She found herself at his house, only this time she was in his room. He was laying in bed, the sheets pooled around his waist while she dressed in a hurry.
"Tell me Caroline, if this is so wrong, why do you keep coming back?"
"Because, for some reason, I can't stay away."
I'm conflicted
I inhale now I'm addicted
To this place
To you babe
I can't stay away
She found herself sitting in Elena's room, trying to build up the courage to spill her dirty little secret.
"What's wrong Caroline? You know you can tell me."
"It's... it's complicated Elena. I know if I tell you, you'll hate me, but I"m so conflicted. I'm addicted and I don't even know why."
"I could never hate you, you're my best friend."
"I might be... kind of involved... with Klaus?" She answered as if it were a question.
"You might be? Caroline he's evil! This is completely wrong! You need to end it. Now."
We get up, we go down
Then we go one more round
It's wrong, they say
But I can't stay away
It was the night after Elena's abduction. Bonnie was asleep so Caroline snuck out and went to see Klaus.
"Klaus, what is wrong with you? Why did you let Elijah take Elena like that?"
"what would you have me do Caroline, go against my entire family and let my mother kill us all?"
"Well she's my family and you know your sister wants to kill her!"
"We did what we had to to stay alive."
"I told Elena."
"Told her what, exactly?"
"About us. By now, everyone else will know and they'll say the same thing as me."
"And what is that?"
"This, Klaus! This is wrong. But I..."
"But you, what?"
"Nothing. It's nothing."
"Enough fighting. You win, for now."
She let him approach her and take her in his arms, placing a kiss upon her lips.
I was numb
For you I come
Night and day
And I can't stay away
She had received a text from Klaus and against her better judgment, she met up with him. It was an odd place for him to send her to. They usually met at his house but this time he wanted to meet her in the woods. She didn't care though, she was numb.
Elena had done exactly as she suspected. All of their friends knew about her and Klaus. When they weren't berating her or giving her dirty looks, she was getting the cold shoulder. She didn't blame them, she was with the enemy.
She entered the clearing and had to stop at the sight. There he stood, in all his glory, in a pool of sunlight. In that moment he was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen and completely forgot about why this was wrong and why she should stay away.
"I knew you'd come."
"Why are we here?"
"The house is full and I don't want to share."
"You mean you don't want them to know."
"That's not what I said."
"But it's what you meant! I told all of my friends."
"And look at how they're treating you."
"That's why we should end this."
Klaus flashed towards her, only coming to a stop when their chests were pressed closely together.
"You know you don't really want to. If you did, you'd have stopped coming to me by now. And why is that I wonder?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I can so stop coming to you."
"Just admit it love, you can't stay away."
I'm conflicted
I inhale now I'm addicted
To this place
To you babe
It had been a month since she had gone to him. After he called her out, she knew she had to prove him wrong. So she stayed away. Every day she received a call or text telling her to meet him at his house or in the woods. And every day she ignored him. Doing so was one of the hardest things she had ever done. Everything in her body screamed at her to go to him, but she refused.
She told Elena that things were over with Klaus and she'd never seen her friend look so relieved. Once the news spread of the split, they all started speaking to her again, but they noticed a difference in her. With each passing day, she became more and more despondent. They didn't know what to do. They didn't want to admit that their friend had fallen for Klaus.
I wish I could
Leave and never return
Baby, I know I should
But for you I burn
It was approaching the second months and she still hadn't gone back to Klaus. Even though he knew she was ignoring him, he still continued to call and text her. It broke her heart to listen to his messages, he was beginning to get desperate.
Just as she finished listening to his last voicemail, there was a knock on the front door. Confused about who could be there at such a late hour, she went to see who it was. Opening the door, she was shocked at who was standing there.
"Klaus, what are you doing here?"
"I fancy you Caroline. I know you've been ignoring me and I know you wish I would leave and never return, but I can't. I've never burned for anyone the way I do for you."
"You still shouldn't be here. I've been ignoring you for a reason Klaus, because what we were doing was wrong. I just got my friends back, my life back. I'm not ready to lose them again because of a passing fancy of yours."
"It's not a passing fancy. I've been watching you since you left. I've seen what leaving me has done to you and I want you to know that I feel-"
"No! Don't say it, I don't want to hear anymore!"
I'm conflicted
I inhale now I'm addicted
"Klaus-"
"Just admit it Caroline, admit that you fancy me."
"You seem to think you know how I feel so why should I say anything? Why have you been following me anyway?"
"Because I can't stay away."
