Heeeeey everybody. I've been wanting to write this for a while but I haven't had any time. Luckily now I'm on winter break so we'll see if I can start and finish a story in two weeks. I'm listening to Ron Pope's Drop in the Ocean on loop to stir up some creative ideas.

We don't own any of TVD.

The infuriating device buzzed for the fifth or sixth time in 15 minutes, earning an angry sidelong glace from Caroline. She didn't pick up. She didn't press ignore, he could leave another message. She just glared at her phone as it glided sideways off the side table, dropping to the floor where it continued to vibrate.

She was lying face down on her bed, clutching the soggy white pillow, damp and covered in smudges of black eye liner. There was a hesitant knock on the door,

"Waaaat?" her voice was muffled by the pillow but Bonnie and Elena seemed to think that was the equivalent to 'Come In'.

The door creaked open and Elena strode in confidently, Caroline was constantly bugging her about that. Yes, the three girls shared an apartment but that didn't mean they couldn't have any personal space.

Caroline looked up with a groan, "Elena-"

"I know, I know but in this case it was necessary." She held up a bottle of vodka temptingly.

Bonnie walked in more slowly, she sat on the bed and rubbed Caroline's back.

"Caroline, you've been in here for two days and you haven't even told us what happened."

Elena poured some of the cheap alcohol into a mug and handed it to her. Caroline sat up and downed the liquor, leaving a satisfying burn in its wake.

"He said he 'couldn't see me as anything but a friend' and that he 'needed to move on'" She quoted bitterly. "And we all know that's code for 'Sorry but I found someone else and I don't want to have to cheat on you'."

They were interrupted by her phone's vibrations, signaling that he was calling her again. Bonnie picked it up from under the bed. The caller ID read 'Tyler'.

"Then why is he calling you?"

Caroline sighed. "Apparently the girl he was going after dumped him after they hooked up."

"And he wants you back...?" Elena questioned.

"Yep" Caroline snatched up the vodka and took a big gulp, straight from the bottle. "Yep and that's fine because I'm just gonna drink him away." She took another sip. "I only wish I had something a little stronger."

Elena grabbed the bottle out of Caroline and took a sip, "In that case I need this more then you do."

The two others just stared.

"uh, Hello? Elena, I'm the one who just got dumped."

"Because dear Caroline, We're gonna go to Macy's and I'm gonna buy you the hottest dress there."

She chugged half the bottle and wiped her mouth on the back of her sleeve.

"and then, were gonna find the darkest, loudest club in New York and we're gonna get you're mojo back."

silence.

"It's decided, we'll go tonight."

Yea so not to much plot development yet but that will come next chapter.

Ciao for now
