XOXO
Chapter 3
Goodbye was harder then Elena thought. She looked at her friends, family and her boyfriend. Even though they could still contact, Elena knew it would be very long before they could actually meet each other again. With Klaus and Katherine, two most deadly vampires is set out to kill her, it would be a while before they actually stop looking for her and accept the fact that she is dead. She could only come home again once they are completely assured about her safety.
"Take care of Stefan will you?" Elena whispered in Caroline's ears as they hugged.
"I will. Be safe."
"I'll come back for the wedding", Caroline giggled a little. Elena had change her mind about not going to the wedding.
"You sure you want to see me marrying your boyfriend?"
"As long as you take care of him, I don't mind", Elena said as if she was joking and Caroline just smiled. If only she knew the real meaning behind it.
The two broke the hugged and Elena went to Damon car. After their last goodbye, Damon and Elena zoomed off leaving Mystic Fall. Caroline looked at everyone. Jenna was sobbing in Alaric's arms. It must be hard to be away from Elena when she was the one who take care of her all these years.
"We need to go to Elena's funeral now", Jeremy informed as he looked at his watch.
"Let's go", Bonnie said and all of them headed towards the cemetery and got ready to put another act of their lifetime.
The funeral went smoothly. Jenna really did cried like Elena was really dead. Jeremy cried a little while holding Bonnie who's letting out tears worth a river! Alaric just tries to comfort Jenna. Stefan on the other hand let out brokenhearted tears that really convince everyone Elena is really dead. Caroline stood next to him comforting him while letting out a few tears out herself.
While they were acting, both Caroline and Stefan sense the presence of Katherine herself and some other vampire that they suspected it to be Klaus people. Stefan doubled up his act with a very painful yearn for Elena. Caroline has to munch her lip to prevent herself to laugh.
After the funeral ended, everyone went home and Caroline make a quick stop at her house to take some things. She realized that her mother was there so she went to look at her. Caroline was shocked when her mother hugged her as soon as she lays her eyes on her.
"I know I've been a terrible mother to you for the last few weeks and I'm sorry about it honey. I'm just too shock about everything. You understand it right Caroline?"
"I understand it mom", Sheriff Forbes let out a relief sighed. She would kill herself if her daughters hate her. She might not show it but Caroline is her everything. Human or not, she will always be her little girl.
"You must be really shaken by Elena's death. I'm really sorry about her Caroline", Caroline just nodded. Suddenly she felt guilty for lying to her mother.
"I'll be fine mom", Caroline said as she pulled away from the hug. Sheriff Forbes looked at her daughter with sad eyes.
"You don't have to hide your tears honey. I know you're dying inside", Caroline felt happy knowing how much her mother knew her despite the fact they rarely spend much time together.
"I have to be strong mom. Stefan needs me."
"Yeah. He really needs someone right now. Poor kid, he looked almost lifeless yesterday."
"I'm going to stay at Stefan's house for a while if you don't mind."
"It's okay. You can go. Stefan needs you more than me."
"Thanks mom!" Caroline beamed and hugged her mother once more. Truthfully, she misses her mother by a lot. How much she wishes things was different.
"I'm going to work. Lock the house when you're going okay?" Caroline nodded at her mother after they broke the house.
"I should be going. Bye!"
"Bye mom!" After her mom was out, Caroline ran upstairs and went to get a few things like some clothe and books and walked out of the house. After tossing the stuff in her car, she drove towards the boarding house.
Caroline knew Katherine was in the house as she pulled over the driveway. The cool thing about being a vampire is you can smell someone even from miles away. Caroline thinks for a while about getting in the house or not and decided to heard the conversation before deciding what to do next.
Carefully, Caroline made her way towards the door and listen intensely to the conversation Katherine and Stefan currently having.
"I heard my look-alike is dead. Good riddance!" Caroline swore if she was there she would have slapped that bitch.
"I don't want to talk to you Katherine. Just get lost and never come back", Stefan sounded tired, weak and heartbroken. Good acting Stef, Caroline cheered in her head.
"I won't go if you won't come along."
"Even if you're the last person left on earth, I still wouldn't come with you", haha! In your face bitch! Caroline grinned.
"Aww Stefan. No need to act all bitchy with me. I know you want me. That's the only reason why you date Elena. Because she looks exactly like me."
"That's what you think. Elena is nothing like you. She's selfless, caring and kind. You're on the other hand is a monster who knows nothing about love!"
"Oh Steffie. You fell in love with this monster once remember?"
"Yeah and I regret it my whole eternity", another points for Stefan! Caroline couldn't help but to felt excited about it.
"Sooner or later, you will come back to me Stefan. You just wait", Caroline could imagine Katherine smirked.
"Dream on!" Stefan hissed.
After a few useless words from Katherine, Caroline heard Katherine disappear using the back door. Caroline carefully walked in the house and found Stefan flopping down the couch looking rather annoyed with Katherine's visit.
"I heard the conversation. It seems like she's going to work harder to get you now", Caroline said and sat next to Stefan.
"And this is what I'm worried about", Caroline looked at Stefan as he ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"Why?"
"Because she's going to after you once she sees us got closer like how we plan", he doesn't want anything to happen to his Caroline.
"Don't worry Stefan. I can take care of myself", Caroline tried to assure Stefan even though she knows that there's no way she could survive if Katherine decide to kill her one day.
"Starting from now on, you're going to have to stay close to me. Got that?" Only with Caroline close to him, Stefan could ensure Caroline's safety.
"Yes sir!" She did the salute thing and Stefan lips grew into a smile. Caroline always knows how to make him feel better.
"So what are we going to do today Mr. Salvatore since my mom already approve that I stay by your side as long as you need me?"
Stefan's head jerked up and he looked shock. He thought Sheriff Forbes was giving Caroline the silent treatment ever since she found out Caroline is a vampire. Caroline smiled as she saw Stefan's reaction.
"My mom and I talked earlier. She said she was sorry for acting like an ass the past few weeks and let me stay here to accompany you at all time so that you won't suffer alone."
"Really? Wow!"
"Yeah. My mom seems to rather have a soft spot for you now. Maybe your acting touches her soul or something."
"I really should be an actor", Stefan exclaimed and they both laughed.
"I'm sure you'll have tons of awards if you were one", even Caroline couldn't denied the fact that Stefan is fucking awesome actor plus good looking. She could imagine that Stefan will become her favorite actor if he was one.
"It a shame that the job is too much of attention. If it wasn't, I would have done it now", getting too many attention is the last thing a vampire need. People will eventually realize he was different.
"Yeah. It's a shame", Caroline once thought she could be a superstar and act in many movies but now that dream of hers are no longer valid.
"So, what are we going to do today? I'm bored!" Everything is just way too gloomy today for Caroline. She needs something fun so that it would cheer her day up.
"Want to watch some movies?" Stefan suggested.
"Sure!" Caroline beamed. She always loves to watch movie.
"Let's go up to my room", Caroline nodded and they went upstairs towards Stefan's room. Caroline flopped on Stefan's bed and let him do all the choosing movie stuff.
"What movie do you want to watch?"
"Anything will do. You choose."
Stefan looked at his DVD's collection and run down them for a while deciding what movie they should watch. While searching, Stefan's eyes lay on the Twilight Saga: Eclipse DVD that belongs to Elena. They wanted to watch it but never get to and Stefan knows how much Caroline enjoy that movie so he pulled out the DVD and put it in the DVD player.
Stefan pushed the button play and flopped down the bed next to Caroline. "What movie did you play?" Caroline asked curiously.
"Twilight Saga: Eclipse"
"Are you sure you want to watch it?" Even though Caroline loves that movie, she doesn't want Stefan to watch it just because of her.
"Yeah. I want to see how this vampire everyone seems to be crazy about", Elena, Caroline and even Bonnie seemed to love this movie so Stefan wanted to know what so great about the movie.
"Suite yourself!"
They watched the movie quietly. Stefan was trying to understand how the vampire in the movie is and did a check up on how different it is with the real world. Caroline on the other hand enjoyed it like crazy. She watched this movie for hundred times and even read the book but she still couldn't get enough of it. It might be silly since she's a vampire now but Caroline just couldn't help herself. She's in love with Jasper. Most people would go for Edward or Jacob but not Caroline. Edward is too mushy for her and Jacob is too impulsive. Jasper on the other hand was perfect. Caroline envies him since he can pull off the expressionless face.
After a while, the movie ended and Caroline gave his full attention towards Stefan waiting for him comment and reaction about the movie. Damon hate it since he hate Edward's character and he said Bella is just way too pale and boring for him to watch. He didn't understand why Edward is head over heels for Bella.
"So how was it?"
Stefan thought for a while then said "It was ok. They still put the fact that vampire is super strong, super fast and super everything but there's one thing I don't understand."
"What is it?"
"Why sparkle? Seriously. It's just so amusing. And that Edward guy is way too attached to that Bella girl. She's not even hot for God sake!" Caroline grinned in the thought Stefan sounded like Damon there.
"Hey, it's true love. Edward didn't fall for her because she's hot, she's hot because Edward loves her", how much Caroline wish things like that would happen to her.
"Guess so but still, do you need to be that in love? I could only imagine how Elena would be if I was that in love with her."
"Stefan, you literally are that in love with her", Caroline said it thinking it is the most obvious thing in the world.
"No I'm not!" Stefan defended himself.
"Yes you are. Do you know how you look at Elena? It was as if you willing to give your everything for her if she asked for it."
"I do?"
"Yes! That's why everyone in this town is worried about you when they knew Elena is dead. I overheard one of the teacher said to Jenna at the funeral that she's worried you would kill yourself because you wouldn't be able to accept the fact Elena is dead."
"Are you serious?"
"Mmhmm!" Caroline nodded and Stefan couldn't help but to laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Caroline looked at Stefan as if he was crazy.
"Guess I'm just as bad as Edward huh."
Caroline smiled. "Well you're better than Edward. If this was Twilight, Edward would never agree with stupid plans like this even for the happiness of himself. He's just way too attached to Bella. Though I believe Bella is way too attached to Edward too but still, he wouldn't have agreed with a plan like this. You on the other hand agreed. That shows that you are different from Edward. Plus, you don't talk like that guy. Edward talks as if he was whispering to a fucking wall while you talk like a normal person and you're way better looking than him."
"If you had to choose between Team Edward and Team Stefan, who will you choose?" Stefan needed to hear her answer.
"I would stand by Team Stefan just like how I've been doing all this while", Stefan couldn't help but to smile. He knew that no matter what happen, Caroline will stick besides him. Even if it would mean sacrificing her own life. The thought of that scares him. He never wants to let Caroline sacrifice her life for him. He would rather die than live without her.
"Let's watch another movie!" Caroline's words woke Stefan up from his thoughts. Stefan got up and took out some DVD and put it on. He went back to his place and looked at Caroline's who's focusing on the TV. Caroline Forbes, don't you ever dare to leave me.
