Stefan's POV
I had known Caroline for several years now, she was always constantly a good friend too me, there when I needed her, when I was struggling to maintain and keep the beast within, she was my sober coach when I needed help with my ripper trait, the worst of all personalities. When had our relationship changed? That was a question that had continued to plague my thoughts ever since Enzo had informed me that Caroline had a thing for me. My mind started to wonder thinking of the past and how we had become close to one another. It all started when she was turned into a vampire, I was the one she relied on to help her through it and I was happy to do so and she quickly became one of my friends, my best friend in fact. She quickly reminded me of my friend Lexi but there was something different that I couldn't quite put my finger on, well until now. After Enzo's words I realised something, or was debating with myself about something and that was, back then when Caroline had developed feelings for me my head was all over the place but now I wonder was I lying to myself to avoid the possibility of another heart break? Since then though Caroline had been struggling with forgiving me for my disappearing act back when Damon had died or at least I thought he was dead, gone forever so I did what I had to do which was a big mistake. I took off to Georgia in an attempt to forget everything and push everyone away but Caroline was that one person I had to push away more than anyone. She would be the one to listen to me and comfort me, let me cry and vent to her about all my problems and if I was ever going to move on with my life that wasn't something that I could consider doing. When I did return and find out or at least what she said to me, that she hated me it hurt more than I thought something from a friend would hurt but was she just my friend?. Over the year's I'd noticed she was beautiful but more so recently, her heart was pure and she brightened everyone's day with her kind words and pretty smile. When her mother took sick I knew I wanted to be there for her, the shoulder she needed to cry on, the strong arm to hold her up. She's a strong woman but everyone needs someone to be there for them and for her it was me. The more time we spent together the more I started to notice her, her beauty and that feeling of friendship started to harbour into other feelings that I couldn't explain. Then the moment came and we shared a kiss, one that neither of us would have foreseen a year ago but when it happened it was perfect. Her lips were soft and gentle just how they looked and her kiss was sweet and loving, it was the perfect first kiss.
When her mother passed everything changed for the pair of us, I had no idea what to say to Caroline it was difficult to express how I actually felt when I couldn't put the words together to even explain it to myself and the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt her. Damon's advice was never something that I could really rely on at any time in my life never mind a time when I really needed it. Though after it was given and I decided to have a conversation with Caroline at the funeral I regretted it more than anything. Even more so now that I'm standing in her house looking at an unconscious Elena Gilbert laying on the carpet. If only I'd not spoken to Damon and let myself realise just how I felt. It was when I heard her sing that the realisation of the impact she had on my heart hit me like a tidal wave. I may not be able to explain how I truly feel but it's something, great and powerful maybe even better than what I've experienced before. Caroline though is nowhere in sight because she's flipped the switch, turned off her humanity and it's all my fault, I should have waited to talk to her and maybe now she would be by my side letting me be her support system and something much more. I want relationship with her something that just doesn't contain the friendship label. Yes our friendship has a great base but it's just the foundation to lay out our relationship upon, it's steady and I believe we have the best shot at making this work. Pulling out my cell phone and checking the GPS, I need to do a search for Caroline's phone in an attempt to find her before she goes out on an all you can eat human buffet. Hearing Elena stir causes me to look towards the ground as she groans and places her hand to her neck ''Caroline's turned it off, did she tell you where she was going?'' Elena stood up shaking her head ''no but I tried, I realised her behaviour from myself and I knew she was going to do it but before I could really stop her she snapped my neck'' looking down at my cell I figure out just where she is, it's a bar outside of town, it's a bar that I know and I've got a feeling it's about to turn into a crime scene. After telling Elena I quickly make my way to the bar, pulling the car outside it I slip inside. The music is pulsing throughout and thank god there are beating hearts everywhere. No one's dead yet or at least I don't think so. Looking over I see a blond dancing around with an older guy, I knew the woman was Caroline. This was going to be a long night of convincing her to do the right thing for herself, her sanity and to be the Caroline that I was falling in love with.
Caroline's POV
Emotions are over rated and now that I simply have none I'm not at all concerned about anything. Being a vampire has only changed my life for the better, I have control of the feeding process and I told Elena it would be different but how different would it really be? My thirst levels have sure gone up a notch or maybe it's because I used to push them aside and think of the innocent human beings around me who didn't deserve my fangs in there throat. Now the idea of piercing my fangs into the neck and the crimson goodness running down my throat sounded incredibly appetizing. Maybe I could still control it and keep the vampire hunters at bay but maybe I just don't care enough at all. I'm sitting at a bar I've never been in before it's crowded with old men who smell like body odour and booze, how delightful but on the plus side the bar attender looks delicious. He's around twenty five with a cute butt and smells like the Abercrombie and Fitch store, not to mention his neck artery that's just waiting to be sliced into my unhuman incisors. Turning it off was my own choice either that or just sit around crying all the time and who was there to listen to me? Yes I have Elena and all my other friends to be there for me but that's just it, friends and no boyfriend. I was never delusional to think that Stefan and I would be anything but friends but as time went on I thought things had changed or at least I'd hoped they had. He was there for me and it seemed like things had took a turn in a different direction and we had even shared a kiss which felt amazing but then he wanted nothing more than friendship which I no longer care about. Yes when he told me I was upset, hurt even but it's just something else on my list of things I no longer give a crap about. I'm dressed in a black dress but when I removed the pins from my hair and scuffed it up a little I no longer looked like I had just been at a funeral today. When people watch me I appear to be just a young woman sitting at a bar even though I'm not I'm a vampire and it's time I started to act like one don't you think?. ''can I get you something from the bar pretty lady?'' slurred a middle aged dude with garlic breath, it's a good thing the whole garlic thing's a myth. ''actually yeah double vodka on the rocks'' though I'm really thinking a drink from his neck sounds more appealing but the smell oozing from him is putting me off going that close. ''how about a dance?'' he asked in which I shook my head ''you know what? I don't think so, so perhaps you should just go back there and sit with men your age and talk about the good days'' he huffs and says something about my ass but I pay no attention to him instead I'm picking up my drink and downing it. ''bad day?'' asked Mr? My eyes catch his shirt and he's wearing a name tag ''not anymore Chris'' he smiles at me and I catch him looking at my breasts, could he be more obvious? ''well in that case have another one on house'' sure what's the harm in getting wasted? None I'm going to have a damn good time if it's the last thing I do. After a large amount of drinks provided by Chris who happens to be the owner I'm more than just a little drunk and the idea of eating my way through the humans in here is starting to sound more pleasing by the second. The music was loud and Chris wanted to dance, great a way that I could get closer to his neck and perhaps leave with him without too much commotion. First we dance to Katy Perry's I kissed a girl and l liked it, he asks the typical guy question had I ever to which I spun him a web of lies, telling him a bullshit story about myself and my brunette friend Elena making out under some mistletoe dressed as Santa's helpers, he bought it and with that I finally got close enough to take a bite of his neck.
By the third or fourth dance he was a little woozy though I wasn't going to kill my little play thing at least not tonight maybe I'd set up a little tab in here and instead of drinks I'd drink right from the source, the human one that is. Chris went to sit down an old guy approached me but I wasn't wanting to sit down I needed to dance and have fun. When I turned around there he was, Stefan Salvatore and even without emotions he still looked appealing to me. ''oh let me guess you're here to ask me why I broke Elena's neck right?'' lifting my shot of the nearby table I down it in one and smash it of the table forcefully as your sex is on fire comes on pumping through the bar. ''this is not you, these guys, this bar it's not Caroline'' he's walking closer to me but right now he's the last person I want to see not because I feel anything for him, I don't not now that I have no emotions but I'm doing this for the part of myself that did love him and he shot me down I'm giving him the cold shoulder. ''whatever Stefan, if you're going to be a party pooper just leave or stay and dance do whatever the hell you want'' I'm slurring and I stumble putting my hand on the table to steady myself before I start belting out the sound whilst dancing with Chris who has just approached me again. ''look man move away and forget you were even dancing with her'' he compels away my play thing, I'm angry. ''come on we're getting out of here'' he's grabbing my arm which I snatch back wiggling my finger in front of his face ''no,no,no I will not be going anywhere come on Stefan lighten up have a drink, dance and sing and stop with the pouting'' I spin around on the spot ''your sex is on fire'' I'm shutting over the others who are singing along then I'm pointing at Stefan. ''I wouldn't know that about you though would I, I could get any guy in this room to take me home tonight but no not you Stefan you don't want to see me naked, you don't wanna sleep with me'' normally I wouldn't say this but right now I'm drunk and couldn't give a crap what I'm saying to him. Once again he's gripping my arm and pulling me ''let's go home and we can get you a coffee and sober you up'' he pauses and his hand reaches out touching the neckline of my dress and suddenly I know why, great now it's time for another lecture. ''did you hurt someone?'' he asks sternly so I shrug ''you mean the guy I bit? Well I'm sure it hurt a little bit he was enjoying it I could tell and if you mean did I kill him then no, he's the barman and is pretty much alive'' looking down at his hand on my arm I pull back but he's not letting go of the grip he has on me ''you think I'm just going to let you stay here and eat your way around the bar? I don't think so Caroline your coming with me wither you like it or not'' I smirk ''oh really what are you going to do drag me out of here?'' he hesitates for a second as if considering his answer ''actually your pretty close'' he moves forward and before I can protest I'm over his shoulder ''Stefan put me DOWN RIGHT NOW!'' I shout trying to struggle out of his hold but damn he's strong. ''every guy in the bar has just got a flash of my underwear, thanks for that maybe it will get me free drinks next time I come in'' I say with a smug grin in an attempt to annoy him but why would it? He doesn't think of me in that way or else he's pretty good at hiding it. When we walk outside into the night air I know I've got a fight in my hands and it's not with keeping my thirst under control or worrying about hurting people it's with Stefan Salvatore and his determination to make me turn it back on, it's not going to happen not now not ever.
