Previously on Who to Choose?
・ Yes, you heard right, Hayley and Tyler were together. Can you believe that? He ran away from Caroline just to be with Hayley... Who would've known Tyler would be such a jerk?
・ Seconds later, as soon as she realized that what was happening right in front of her was real, if she hadn't done it, then I would have. She went up to Tyler and slapped him across the face as hard as she could.
・ "I have nothing else to say to you," she almost said in a whisper, her back faced towards Tyler, and her down, looking to the ground. "I don't ever want to see you again, Tyler. Go run away with your slut and never come back to Mystic Falls."
・ "You know what?" she sat down on the grass now, and she took out her cellphone. She started dialing a number. "He's gonna go and call the first slut that appears on his doorstep? I'll call someone, too, then," she placed the phone to her ear.
Who was she going to call? I thought to myself.
"Klaus?" she asked through the phone.
Who to Choose?
Chapter Three
Dear Diary,
Minutes after Caroline spoke to Klaus over the phone, we were on our way back to Mystic Falls. Klaus, his voice totally surprised, yet excited, said he was going to be at Mystic Falls in an exactly an hour just to come and comfort Caroline. It is surprising to see such a maniacal original vampire, who is ruthless to anyone who got in his way, to change into such a sweetheart when it came to Caroline. I thought it was so cute... in a weird kind of way.
After everything that occurred between Caroline and Tyler, I started to realize that maybe I needed to have a chat with Stefan. I know it's already been months since him and I broke up, and I started dating Damon, but I felt like there needed to be a proper closure. I wasn't fair to him, just like Tyler wasn't fair to Caroline. I broke his heart, and I didn't even care at the time; I only thought of myself, what I wanted. How selfish could I have been? Poor Stefan... Here I was as happy as ever with Damon, and he has to bear with the sight of seeing Damon and me together.
Once we arrived in Mystic Falls, Caroline and I sat down in a booth at Mystic Grill. I needed to make sure that her decision to meet up with Klaus was what she really wanted to do, not just because she needed someone to to make her feel better after Tyler broke her heart. Who was I kidding? Obviously it was the second reason, but I still wanted to see if she was convinced she wanted this.
"Care," I looked straight into her red, puffy eyes. The area around her eyes were still wet and smudged from crying, "are you sure you want to meet up with Klaus? Isn't that just gonna complicate things even further?"
"Elena..." she whined, but then she sighed, defeated. "Okay, yes, I shouldn't have immediately called Klaus up, but can you blame me? I was in a weak spot, and I thought that the only person that could comfort me was someone that held a lot of feelings for me. Is that wrong?"
I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to say anything because it was wrong to just use someone like that. I wasn't going to tell her that, of course, because what she was doing was exactly what any other normal teenage girl would do. Why not just let her have her fun? She got her heart broken, and she had the right to mend it however she felt like it.
"I just don't want you to get hurt any further, Care," I responded.
Caroline looked down at her hands, her mouth forming into a depressed frown. "I don't think anyone will ever hurt me as much as Tyler hurt me today, Elena... I'm more than sure Klaus is not going to hurt me. Sure, he's the reason why Tyler left me for a girl that he didn't have to work so much for, but it's because Klaus cares about me."
I raised my eyebrow at her, suspicious. "And you care about Klaus...?"
Her eyes widened and she scoffed, flipping her hair as she became very awkward and embarrassed by my question. "Pfft, no! What would make you think that?"
"Well, he was the first guy that you thought of calling to come and comfort you..."
"And?" her leg started to shake nervously.
She wasn't looking directly into my eyes anymore as we stayed on this topic. Even before I made this topic verbal, I knew for a fact that Caroline was falling for his evil, yet charming and sweet personality. She found him irresistible when he was on his killing spree, and he would only listen to her. The way he protected her and was always there for her when she needed him.
"You could've called Matt or... Stefan," I kind of choked his name out, "to comfort you."
"Why would I ask Matt? He's my ex-boyfriend and Tyler is, like, his best friend! It would just be weird talking about Tyler with him!"
"Okay, I understand that. What about, er, Stefan?" I grew even more suspicious.
This time Caroline raised her eyebrow at me, finding it strange that I was pronouncing Stefan's name like that. "Elena, are you okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine," I lied, suppressing the most believable fake smile I could muster. I tried to change the topic of conversation. "Care, you know you can tell me," I gave her a look of sincerity. "I won't tell him if you do, and I definitely won't judge you if you do. Tyler wasn't being a good boyfriend to you, and I knew that you were falling for Klaus."
She seemed to have ignored completely what I said because she just continued to interrogate about what was wrong between Stefan and me.
"Caroline!" I shouted as I stopped her continuous questions. "Okay! After I saw how Tyler left you for Hayley, I started to feel really guilty because I can't help to think that I did the same to Stefan when I left him for his own brother."
"Oh, Elena..."
"I know it's stupid me to be thinking this after so much time has passed but-"
I was cut off. "Elena, I think you need to go talk to him," she smiled at me.
"That's what I was thinking... Should I, really?" I asked, still unsure of whether I should start this conversation up with Stefan again.
She nodded her head. "I think it will be best for the both of you. You should go, like, now."
I chuckled. "Pushy much! Are you sure you want me to leave? I mean Klaus-"
"Talking about me already, I see," I turn around to see none other than Klaus Mikaelson staring down at both Caroline and me.
He flashed Caroline a seductive smirk. "You called, love?"
I started to get up from the booth and grinned at Caroline. "I guess that's my cue to leave," I giggled.
