Hi everybody, this is the first chapter of my Steroline fanfic.

The story I'm about to tell you is set some weeks after Elena turned into a vampire, it's about Stefan and Caroline so I'm not going to deal with Elena's decision of becoming a vampire (maybe there will be some hints later on) and neither with Damon and Elena. I'm not going to take them out of the narration but their scenes will be short.

Hope you enjoy my poor writing.

I'm leaving.

"Where is Caroline? She said she would have come to say 'hi' today and she talked about bringing some B+"

Stefan looked at Elena, many thoughts were crossing his mind, that he doesn't like his girlfriend joking about her new vampire side or that Caroline wouldn't have come that day.

"I'm surprised your boyfriend didn't tell you"

Damon suddenly entered the room. "Told me what?"

"That Caroline and Tyler are leaving Mystic Falls. Today."

"What? Why didn't you tell me this?"

"You're going through a hard period, didn't want to make things worse ." Stefan tried to calm Elena down but she was a vampire now, she wasn't the calm and reasonable Elena anymore.

"Didn't you think that I will eventually know that my best friend left town?" Elena was angry like never before, she felt the urge to punch Stefan but before her vampire side took the control she decided to leave the room.

Stefan was about to run after her when a strong hand grabbed his arm. "I go. Dealing with a new born vampire is not for you, brother."

"I did that before, Damon"

"Oh right.. Caroline. The thing is Stefan, that she is not Caroline." And with that Damon followed Elena outside.

"Never saw you so mad at Stefan" there was a bit of irony in Damon's voice.

"He lied to me about something very important" Elena had her arms crossed and was looking at the sky.

"Well, when you two first met he told you a more big lie but you got over it quite soon" those blue eyes were looking at the same sky.

"Not funny, Damon" the older Salvatore laid his eyes on Elena and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Let's go" he grabbed her hand.

"Go where?"

"To Caroline. Do you really want to let her go without sharing a touching goodbye?" Damon wanted Elena to feel better and the only way possible was to lead her to Blondie.

"Elena, finally you came" Vampire Barbie held Elena in her embrace, without worrying about hurting her, she couldn't get hurt anyway.

"I'm sorry Caroline, I just found it out"

Caroline didn't understand why, she had told Bonnie, she was sure Elena knew about her departure. "Stefan didn't tell her" Damon's voice came from behind Elena.

Caroline and Damon shared a gaze, she was surprised. Very much.

"Elena, Damon what's happening?" Tyler was right next the front door.

"Tyler" Elena run to his friend. Yes, because it wasn't only Caroline, even Tyler was about to leave Mystic Falls. Tyler and Elena were good friends, he always tried his best to save her and everyone, plus Tyler was able to make Caroline happy. And that, for Elena, was the most important thing. Her best friend happiness meant more than anything.

"Why didn't he tell her?" Caroline was looking at Elena and Tyler who were exchanging the last greetings but she was talking to Damon.

"He wanted to keep her from doing something stupid, like asking him to make you stay. And I know my brother, if Elena asked him to, he would have made you stay."

"Of course, he would do anything for her" she whispered.

"Is not only that, he would have used Elena's prayers as an excuse to make you stay. Stefan's not really happy to lose you again." Damon's voice was trying to tell Caroline something, but what?

Caroline met Damon's blue eyes for the first time after their conversation had started and she could see he was saying the truth, other hand she didn't want to know what her eyes were saying.

"I'm gonna miss you, Elena" Caroline cried. And after a long hug she said "I'm going to see you soon, we have the eternity after all but I have to go now"

"Go where?" Tyler asked surprised, Caroline was already outside the door.

"I have to do something before leaving" and then she left the house.

"She's going to Stefan, isn't she?" Elena's eyes were looking at Damon. No jealousy in her eyes, she knew how important Stefan was for Caroline and how much Stefan cared about her. She noticed Stefan's expression when Damon told her that Caroline was leaving Mystic Falls, there was pain in his eyes, the same that there was in Elena's.

"You heard" Damon's voice seemed to be proud of the new vampire next to him.

"I'm a vampire now"

"Really? Didn't notice" and they shared a smile, the kind of smile they hadn't shared for long time. Yes, Elena was a vampire and she never wanted to be one but she was fine, she was strong enough. Seeing Elena not losing her humanity was the only thing that kept Damon from freaking out and, honestly, killing Stefan. Elena's humanity was the only thing that helped Damon not to lose his own and the thought of Elena becoming the monster she always tried to fight in Damon was his nightmare. But somehow Elena didn't lose her humanity and neither did Damon.

"I knew I would have found you here"

"How did you know?"

"Because when you are upset, you get hungry and for as I know the wood is the best place to get bunnies"

A smile appeared on Stefan's lips.

"Stefan, I'm leaving" and suddenly his smile disappeared.

"I know" was the only thing he was able to say.

"Look, I know that we didn't spend a lot of time together lately. You being a ripper, Klaus ruining our life, Elena turning into a vampire, I know I wasn't really there for you when you needed me but I am now and always. You know that, don't you?"

"I do. You're my best friend after all." The vampire wanted to look fine, he wanted to let Caroline know that he was actually fine even though he wasn't.

"I'm your best friend?" Caroline was surprised. They barely spoke in the last months and still he thought about her as his best friend?

"Yes, well I don't have many choices, right?"

"Not funny Salvatore" and it wasn't funny, she wanted to be worth it.

"I'll miss you, Caroline" his eyes couldn't break away from hers.

"I will miss you too, Stefan" she softly smiled at him, maybe for the last time and then she left, leaving his best friend alone in the woods.

Okay so Caroline is leaving town and only God knows what can happen to her with Klaus that pretends to be her boyfriend. Should I keep writing? Please send me your comments)
