REVIEW! It means the world to me to hear what you guys think, any feedback, etc.
Chapter 2:
Enjoy!
Any good thing was worth fighting for. Klaus knew this, because in this cruel world, there were only a few pure things left. Klaus knew that his relationship with Caroline wasn't perfect. He loved her though, and he always would. He closed his eyes and smiled at a memory that he had been playing over and over in his head on the way back from work today.
"She looks ravishing." Klaus said with his famous smirk as a gorgeous blonde walked through the doors of the bar. It wasn't her beauty that caught his attention though-there were many attractive women here tonight. It was the fire in her eyes, and when she smiled, the fire seemed to burn brighter, and illuminate the whole room with its light.
Who knew that they would be here today? Klaus remembered with a pang in his lean, defined chest, the argument they had today. They had been going through a rough patch for…who knows how long. But he would to anything for his love. And while they loathed each other so passionately, so passionately did they love too.
Klaus would remember all the arguments they had. He knew that love wasn't easy, but this...was so passionate. A fire so bright that it could burn. He remembered when he would leave after one of their arguments, buy a bottle of cheap liquor and drown his sorrows in a motel room. Because hurting Caroline hurt him so much that he was unable to bear the pain.
But there love was...epic. That was the only word to describe it, and that was an understatement.
Klaus rubbed his hands nervously, heart beating faster, and faster as he approached the door of their penthouse.
"Caroline, I'm home!"
No answer. Klaus wasn't surprised though.
"Caroline? Love, I'm sorry. I have something for you!" Klaus called, smiling. Oh, she would love the portrait that he had drawn of her and him, framed carefully in a glass frame. Smiling at each other, on a meadow, her face illuminated with joy as the fire in her eyes burned as bright as ever.
On the top of the paper, written in calligraphy carefully by Klaus himself, were the words Always and Forever. It was a memento that no matter how frustrated they got with each other, no matter how angry, they would always love each other. Especially after today. He had much more than a drawing in store for his love.
Klaus sighed as he walked over to Caroline's room. He knocked softly. "Caroline? Love, I wanted to go over to the pavilion in the Botanical Garden that you love. Its important."
Still no answer. Klaus quietly opened the door. "Caroline-" Klaus stopped. She wasn't there. Her room was a mess. Clothes lay scattered on the floor, and the closet doors hung open. Drawers were open, things overturned, utter chaos. In the midst of the chaos, Klaus spotted a white piece of paper sticking out of the dark un-made bed sheets.
No. Trembling, Klaus picked up the note, and immediately recognized Caroline's handwriting.
I'm sorry.
No. No no no NO. This couldn't be happening. Not after all they've been through. He loved her. A surge of anger ran through Klaus in waves and the realization hit him in full force. She left him. Alone, heartbroken.
He glanced at the framed drawing of her through eyes blurred with tears, and threw it with all his strength of the damned floor, where she stood just hours ago. Klaus ignored the bits of glass that stuck to his skin, slowly breaking it, drawing out his red, crimson blood. He was already broken.
"CAROLINE" Klaus choked, tears streaming out of his blue eyes. Anger. Sadness. Betrayal.
Klaus stopped. She could still be here. She had to be. Scrambling, he didn't care as more shards of glass pierced his skin has he ran as fast as he could through the elevator.
He ignored the annoyed remarks of people as he desperately pushed them aside. None of them mattered except for her.
Klaus made his way into the front of building, and was met with the honks of cars and taxis, the crowds of pedestrians. "CAROLINE" He screamed, tears openly falling.
He searched through the busy streets, but to no avail. He could see no sign of that luscious blonde hair, those piercing blue eyes, those soft lips that had hurt him so much in their fights, but had kissed so lovingly when they weren't.
She was gone. And she wasn't coming back.
He felt himself slowly crumble as he brought a small, velvet box from the pocket of his pants, and opened it slowly, as if in a trance. Numbness. That's all he felt now, because the pain had become so intense, and had burned him so much that he no longer could feel.
Klaus brought out the simple but beautiful diamond ring that he had picked out especially for her, and turned it in his hand slowly. He had spent weeks choosing the cut, which gem to use. Always and Forever. The words seemed to mock him, cut him into his very soul. This was supposed to be the day they would be forever by their side. Not this.
She wasn't supposed to go.
With a sudden surge of anger, Klaus threw the damned ring into the streets of New York in fury.
She didn't even say good bye.
Klaus watched in anguish the ring soared through the streets, and glinted in the sunlight before disappearing.
