It Started with Elena's Crazy Plan
Chapter 1
"Are you out of your freakin' mind?" Caroline nearly got a heart attack when she heard what Elena asked her to do. She stared at her best friend's face, trying to find a hint of amusement on her face but she couldn't find it and that moment she realized Elena wasn't joking.
"You can't be serious Elena. I can't! I won't!" She started to panic. Just imagine she woke up this morning to find Damon lurking in her bedroom and read her diary which she's going to kill him later for doing that, and then her mom came home and ignores her as usual since she already knows what Caroline was and now Elena suddenly asked her to marry Stefan out of the blue. Can't her un-dead life become more dramatic?
Elena sighed and pulled Caroline to sit next to her. Caroline didn't argue and just sat next to her best friend who she thinks probably is going crazy right now.
"Caroline. This is the only way for me and Stefan to get our happy ending. Don't you want to see me happy?"
"Well yeah but I don't see how marrying your boyfriend will help you be happy", Caroline said mater-of-factly.
"First of all, we're going to fake my death. That would stop Klaus for ever searching for me again. Bonnie is going to put a spell on me so that I would look different to everyone except the people that I want to see the real me. Stefan is going to act heart-broken and all then you came in and hang a lot with him. In a few months, both of you fall in love and get married. That would ensure Katherine won't bother my family and everyone else will be convince that I really am dead", Caroline just listened carefully to Elena who's explaining her 'brilliant' plan and sighed. Elena watch too many TV, thought Caroline.
"So after you 'died' where are you going?"
"Bonnie will put the spell on me and Damon's going to bring me out of town until we are sure every threat is gone."
"So meaning you guys isn't going to be here for the wedding?"
"Yes", Elena nodded.
"Why do I have to do this? Why can't Bonnie?" Caroline just doesn't get why she of all people have to marry Stefan even though deep inside her, she didn't mind it at all but of course she wouldn't admit it.
"Because everyone knows Bonnie is madly in love with Jeremy. You on the other hand are relationship free right now. And everyone knows you and Stefan are close friend. The story will go better with you being the bride."
Caroline sighed as she knew Elena's words were true. The story will go better with her as the bride.
"What if Katherine got crazier than usual when she found out that I'm going to marry her Stefan and decide to kill my mom, Matt and Tyler?" The last thing she wanted to happen is her love ones got hurt. Even though her mother hasn't really acted like her mother these past few weeks and Matt and Tyler just acted like an ass, she still cares about them. She wouldn't want anything to happen to them.
"Don't worry. Bonnie will put a protective spell on them so that Katherine can't go near them", Caroline felt better hearing that her mother, Matt and Tyler is going to be safe.
"When are we going to start this plan again?"
"Tomorrow", Caroline jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
"What? And you only tell me now?" Elena couldn't do anything but smile innocently. The truth is she's way too excited about arranging the plan that she forget to ask Caroline.
"Sorry. I forgot."
"Ugh! You really are going to be the death of me one day Elena", Caroline growled in frustration and ran her hand through her hair.
"Is that a yes?" Caroline just nodded and Elena pulled her into a big hug.
"I love you Care. Don't worry, I'll make sure everything will go according to plan", Elena will never let Caroline or any of her love ones got hurt. Caroline had always been there for her and she's going to make sure her best friend will never regret helping her.
"Is Stefan okay with the plan?" Caroline asked as they broke the hug. Elena nodded with a smile.
"Yup. At first he freaked out a little but after hours of convincing, he agrees." Caroline felt better knowing that the groom also agreed to it or else it's just going to be awkward.
"Let's go to the boarding house. We're going to have a meeting there", Elena said and the two girls walked away from Caroline's house and headed straight towards the boarding house.
Damon smiled as he heard Caroline's car parked near his house. Caroline must have agreed to the plan. Great! Thought Damon and he started grinning when he saw Caroline and Elena walked in the boarding house. Elena went straight to Stefan and kissed his cheek. Damon couldn't help but to rolled his eyes. Caroline on the other hand just sat next to Bonnie and gave Damon a death glare.
"What's with the glare Barbie?" Damon acted dumb even though he knows why Caroline was acting like that.
"Oh don't act all innocent! You know what you did", Damon laughed as he sees the annoyed look on Caroline's face.
"Oh don't get all moody Barbie. I won't tell anyone what I read", he winked and Caroline just growled and looked away.
"You better not because I'm going to kick your fucking ass if you did", Caroline threatened Damon and Damon just smile like an idiot which really annoyed the hell out of Caroline.
"Damon, stop pissing Caroline off", Stefan sounded like father and Caroline couldn't help but to feel better that Stefan always stood up for her.
"Yes dad" Damn exclaimed and everyone laughed except for Caroline that is. Stefan sighed and sat down next to Elena.
"So is everyone ready for tomorrow?" Bonnie started the meeting.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Caroline asked Elena once more to ensure she knows what she's doing. Elena without hesitation nodded.
"Care, are you okay about all of this? You don't have to do it if you don't want to", the last thing on earth Stefan want was Caroline getting hurt by all of this. Caroline is his best friend. He doesn't want her to sacrifice her happiness for the sake of he's and Elena's.
Caroline nodded and gave Stefan a reassuring smile so that Stefan wouldn't felt guilty about all of this. He knew Stefan too well to know what he's thinking right now.
"How are you going to die Elena?" Jeremy finally spoke up after being quiet since he came to the boarding house with Bonnie.
"Damon's going to drive my car into a tree and make it as if it was an accident and the car would blow up. Damon's going to put a body in there and put some of my things in there making sure that it would look like it's me in the car", it sounded like CSI now, Caroline thought as she heard Elena's explanation about how she would 'die'.
"What about Jenna?" Caroline knew Jenna doesn't know about all this vampire things so what will Elena tell Jenna.
"We already told Jenna the truth last week", Elena said and everyone except Damon looked shock.
"You did what?" Jeremy didn't thought Elena would ever tell Jenna stuff like this.
"How did she react?" probably freak the hell out, Bonnie thought.
"She freaked out but Ric calmed her down and after a few hours she could accept it", Damon said and everyone except Elena looked at him.
"You knew?" Stefan couldn't believe that Damon knew this before him.
"Duh! I was there", his words shocked them even more.
"So Jenna knows about the whole plan?" Caroline spoke up.
"Yes", everyone just nodded. Stefan looked at Damon and Elena and makes a mental note to talk to the two masterminds later.
"Let me sum it all up. You're going to die tomorrow in a car accident then Stefan's going to mourn and act all heartbroken. That's when I show up and be his life support and after a few months, we fell in love and get married right?" They all nodded.
"And after that?" The drama couldn't just end like that. It's just so unreal.
"The both of you are going to act like a normal newlywed who's madly in love. After Damon and I are sure all the threats are gone, we'll come back and live happy ever after!" Elena chanted and at that moment Caroline thought Elena sounded like her.
"So in the end we'll get divorce and when someone asks us why, we just said that we're not suitable for each other and find someone else and live happily ever after too?"
"Exactly!" Caroline just sighed deeply. She's already regretting her decision but she knew there's no way to bail out of it now.
"Let's all go home and get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day", Stefan suggested and everyone agreed with him and started walked away. Caroline was the first one to walked away and she just throw herself on her bed and tried to get some sleep since she didn't get a lot last night because Damon decided to go through her diary when the sun doesn't even shinning yet.
