It's been three months since Tyler came home, and three months since Klaus left. She felt as if her world started all over again, but then it felt like everything stopped without Klaus. She loved Tyler, more than anything, but why is she feeling this way about Klaus? "He is your first love, I intend to be your last" those 10 words haunted her mind and dreams for the past 90 days. Apart of her wanted to deny Klaus's allegations, but his words wouldn't come out. Was he right?
Caroline sat in her bed wide awake in the dark. She had looked over at the sleeping man that lay beside her and smiled as he snored so peacefully. Unfortunately, this was the only time Caroline could stand to be around him. Who would have known that the same hands that consoled her months ago were now the hands that hurt her behind clothes doors? She couldn't fight back, or he'd bite her, and Klaus was nowhere to save. Even the mention of Klaus's name from her lips would send Tyler into a rage. After all it is what started the abuse.
FLASHBACK 3 MONTHS AGO:
"Tyler!" Caroline exclaimed as she saw Tyler standing in her living room after she returned from saying her goodbyes to Klaus. They embraced each other after not being near each other for what seemed like decades. "Where were you? I've been waiting all night." Tyler looked at her with a questionable face. "I was with Klaus after graduation, he wanted to see me bef-" She was cut off by Tyler slamming his fist into her coffee table, shattering it into a hundred pieces. "NO!" he yelled, "you will NEVER speak of Klaus again. Do you understand me?" she just looked at him wide eyes, speechless. She was met with impact across her face that sent her into the wall, his hand over her throat, his eyes yellow in anger. "Do you understand me?" He asked more slowly, the venom being heard behind every word. "Yes," she whispered, blinking back the tears that had formed in her eyes. "Good," Tyler started and released her, "now clean up this mess."
She came back to the present in rapid blinks. How would her life be if she with Klaus instead of moving in with Tyler? This was one of the questions she asked herself nightly before Tyler would wake up. As the nights go by, her feelings for Klaus grew more and more. If Tyler knew that, Caroline would be killed. She knew Klaus would never hit her, right?
"Why aren't you asleep?!" She was literally yanked out of her thoughts meeting Tyler nose to nose, staring into his eyes. 'Not this early' she whimpered, fear crept inside her body.
