Ch1:What are you supposed to do when your lovely hero, doesn't love you anymore?
Caroline thought she wasn't going to survive that night in that small alley. She was still alive the next morning, but barley. While she was holding her breath she tried to stand op but she couldn't her knees felt weak and she couldn't feel her feet. She started to cry and asked herself how this could have happen to her. As she felt a warm hand on her knee she looked next to her. ,,Don't cry, You'll ruin your make-up, love…'' said the man with a deep British accent. ,,Kl… Klaus? You came back for me…'' she said surprised as he wiped away her tears. Caroline snuggled against him and closed her eyes. She smelled his scent and smiled while she felt tears burning in her eyes. ,,I missed you so much!'' she whispered. ,,You saved me…'' she added and looked him in his eyes.
The only thing he did was staring in front of him. ,,Please talk to me…'' she said. ,,I only came back to check on you. You're alive, you'll be fine on your own.'' He said hostile. ,,B…But I need you, I need you more then ever…'' she said hoping he would stay. ,,I can't Caroline. You'll just drop me when you're sure of your own safety.'' He answered. ,,I won't! I promise…'' He looked at her and laughed. ,,You will. You've never liked me, not even as a friend. You're just pretending because you know I can help you. You're thinking I will fall for that smile, you're thinking I'm still in love with you the way I was when I left.'' He said and whispered: ,,But let me tell you a secret Caroline, You mean nothing to me, I don't care about you anymore. I'm just here because Elena and Damon asked me to.'' Caroline pushed Klaus away and looked disappointed at him. ,,So you didn't come back because you love me?'' she asked.
She felt so much regret right now. Why hadn't she told him she liked him when she could? She couldn't tell him that now, I'll just make her look weaker than she already is. She stood up and pulled Klaus up with her vampire-strength. What should she do? Tell him the truth? Klaus still loved her though, but should he tell her that? Caroline looked into his eyes and waited for his reaction, but there was non. His face was pale and his lips stayed closed, like they were sealed forever. Klaus just stood there, thinking of what he must do. He wanted to kiss her so badly, but wasn't that to soon? He locked all his feelings in a little box in his brain and backed down. ,,Klaus, please…'' Caroline said but Klaus never answered. He leaned against the other wall and looked at her.
,,Let's take you some where warm and safe.'' He said rapidly so this moment would be less awkward. Klaus lifted her up and walked away from the alley. He took her to an abandoned house in the middle of the forest. He pushed the door open and checked twice if there were no humans and laid Caroline in a bed. ,,You should rest. I'll make you some tea.'' He whispered while he placed a kiss on her forehead. Deep down Caroline knew she was safe, but suddenly she didn't feel like it anymore. The kiss on her forehead was not because he loved her. It was just to calm her, he did it because they were friends. Sadly, they weren't more than that. The smile on Caroline's face had disappeared as she closed her eyes. She was so tired. She laid under the sheets and warmed up slowly. After a few seconds Klaus entered the room. He sat next to Caroline on her bed and placed his right hand gentile on her hair. ,,I've got tea for you, sweetheart.'' He said looking at her. ,,Thank you, Klaus!'' She said happy.
A long silence followed which Caroline broke because she didn't want things to get weird between them. ,,Where have you been all this time?'' she asked quietly. ,,I was in Greece, Athena to be specific, we couldn't take risks.'' He said. Caroline looked a bit disappointed and anwserd: ,,So you just forgot about me then?'' Klaus smiled and looked her in her eyes. ,,I've never forgotten you and I never will!'' He whispered in her ear. He came with his lips closer and almost drowned in her beautifull eyes. He blinked a few times and backed out. He couldn't kiss her, he just couldn't, deep down, he was still afraid of a rejection… Klaus decided to act as normal as possible but he still wouldn't admit he still loved her. He just couldn't, not yet. Caroline sipped from her earl grey tea and looked at Klaus. Did he really stop loving her? She had rejected him so many times… It was probably true. If Damon and Elena hadn't asked he wouldn't be here. He was here because they asked. If she could only make him stay for longer than a few days the feelings would maybe come back… She really hoped so.
She didn't knew what he really felt but Klaus did. Klaus knew exactly how he felt about Caroline, he knew he had always have feelings for her and that the feelings were still there. He just tried to stay cool and strong. He had been worried as hell but he couldn't go back earlier. There had been too many risks. If he got caught there was not even a chance of saving Caroline and he didn't want Elena, Damon, Stefan and Rebekah to know he liked Caroline. Rebekah would just stop him from saving her. Damon, Elena and Stefan would probably told him he couldn't go save her because he had too many feelings for her. It was really complicated, but it didn't matter anymore. He is with Caroline now. She is safe, that's all that matters.
