A/N: Okay guys so I just wanted to let you know about some things! Stefan is still Stefan. He hasn't found out that he's Silas' doppelganger yet and Hayley is NOT pregnant with Klaus' child. (That made me so sad in the show) And last but not least, Elena did not shove the cure down Katherine's throat. It's still on the loose! Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it :)
Chapter Two
"Have you gotten ahold of Tyler yet Care?" Matt asked as he walked over to their booth.
"Not yet, I've left a dozen of voicemails but he hasn't called yet… I don't know if I should be worried or what."
"Well, worry about it tomorrow. Tonight we're celebrating, and saying goodbye." Bonnie said, raising her glass. "To finishing the first chapter in our lives, to old friends and to new ones to come. And even though most of us are already dead, to getting our lives started." They all laughed and clinked their glasses together and sipped down their drinks.

Damon and Elena took off right after leaving the Grill so Caroline and Bonnie decided to have a girl's night at Caroline's house. Caroline's mother never seems to be home anymore, she's always working 24 hours a day. Caroline's never minded though, she liked her time alone.
When they arrived to Caroline's, they decided to watch some chick flicks and snack on junk food. They popped some popcorn and decided on The Notebook for their first movie.
Halfway through the movie Caroline's phone started ringing from an unknown number.
"Hey Bon, will you pause the movie, someone's calling me."
Bonnie paused the movie as Caroline answered her phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Care, it's Tyler." Finally! Caroline thought.
"Tyler! Finally, I've been trying for hours to get ahold of you. What are you doing?"
"Caroline, I can't come back. Well, not that I can't… I don't want to." Caroline didn't believe what she was hearing. They've spent months apart, living separate lives but still staying together. Tyler was the love of her life and she didn't know what she would do without him for much longer.
"Ty, what're you talking about? Klaus is gone, and not only that but he's done hunting you. You can come back with me and we can finally be together again." Caroline said desperately. She could feel her heart beat speed up as Tyler remained quiet on the other line.
"Care, I should've told you sooner but I have a life here now. I have a family, whereas the family there was ripped from me. I have a pack, and friends who are normal. I don't have to worry for my life every day anymore, or for yours." Caroline could feel the tears arising in her eyes.
"I thought I was your family." She breathed, barely a whisper. "Tyler, I love you and I know you love me as well. You can come back, and we can live happily ever after together. Please, Tyler."
"People like us don't get happy ever after. That was taken from us when we were killed and transformed. I'm sorry Care, but I think we've had our run, and Mystic Falls isn't where I belong anymore. With you is where I don't belong anymore." Bonnie came over and sat closer to her friend.
Caroline's heart was breaking. Could he really mean all of this? After everything they've been through together, he was just going to let it all go.
"Maybe we could meet at the Grill or somewhere and talk about this in person. I don't think you're thinking rationally Tyler." Caroline was trying everything she could but she knew Tyler. And she knew whenever he made up his mind about something, he stuck with it. He remained silent.
"Tyler-" Caroline let out a light sob.
"I'm sorry Caroline, but this is goodbye."
Caroline waited, hoping he'd say more. "You will always have a place in my heart, and you'll always be my first love." Caroline thought she could hear him choking up.
Caroline hung up her cellphone without saying another word. She was angry now. All of her hurt and sadness seemed to turn so abruptly to anger and hate. How could he do this? When he was still in Mystic Falls they had made so many plans for their future together. And now he had other plans, without her.
She wondered if there was another girl he was with. Maybe a wolf, just like him, maybe even a hybrid. Caroline stood up without saying a word to Bonnie and ran to her bathroom. She didn't know why but she wanted to take a shower. Poor Bonnie, she thought as the boiling water washed over her. She wished her best friend didn't have to witness that. Caroline's never been one to cry and when she does, she makes sure no one's around to see it.
She likes her friends to think she's strong and can handle much of anything thrown at her. But this was too much. Losing Tyler sent her overboard. She wondered about Hayley. She and Tyler have always been close and she hasn't been in Mystic Falls for a couple of months. Was she with Tyler?
Caroline shut off the water and grabbed her towels, wrapping one around her hair and the other, her body. She walked out of her bedroom to find Bonnie missing.
"Bonnie?" Caroline called.
"In the kitchen!" Bonnie replied.
Caroline threw on a pair of yoga pants and a baggy pajama shirt and walked to the kitchen.
"I thought you could use this." Bonnie said, handing Caroline a glass.
Caroline took a sip and looked at her friend in shock. "Bonnie, what is this?" Caroline laughed. It was such delicious blend of juices and liquor.
"Your mom has quite the stash of alcohol, Care." Bonnie said with a wink. "I just mixed some vodka with sprite, lemonade, and cranberry juice" Bonnie watched Caroline's smile fade.
"What am I gonging to do, Bon?" Caroline said while staring off into nothingness. "Everyone's leaving. Elena's gone. You're leaving in two weeks, Stefan's leaving in one. Matt busy with work and school. I've got no one, not even my mom." Bonnie felt sorry for her friend. She felt her sadness and her heartbreak.
Bonnie walked over to Caroline and wrapped her arms around her. "You're going to get through this Caroline. You above everyone else I know is more than capable of putting this behind you. Yes, it may take you some time, but you're the strongest person I know and this is just a bump in your road." Bonnie said sternly. Caroline looked at her friend, knowing she was right. Caroline was acting like a drama queen.
"We should take a vacation before you leave, have one last adventure together. We'll go to a couple different places." Caroline said excitedly.
This is exactly what she needs, she thought.
