I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

A/N: Hallo guys. How are you doing? Thank you for reading and the story alerts. Here is chapter 4. I hope you like it. It is going to get very A/U, you guys. Hold on to your seats.

Caroline's POV

I decided to try and talk to Tyler about what happened that awful day. I know he is not going to budge at first, but he will eventually. I have my ways in persuading someone. I didn't do my best then, because I was furious at him. But now I see that, that day really broke him. Now that I think about it. It breaks my heart that I didn't try harder before, to let him tell me what happened after Henry brought me home that day. I was sobbing at the moment, because he was right. I am the worst friend in the world. But I will make it up to him. I am going to make him tell me everything he knows and I will try to be his friend again. I am very determined to reach my goal at the moment.

I called him at home to tell him that I really needed to talk to him. He didn't want to at first, but I told him I will give him a second chance. I will tutor him, but he has to play by my rules.

He eventually agreed, because he really didn't want to lose his only passion. Football.

So we decided we will meet at the grill.

I got in my car and drove to the grill and walked inside. He was already there, drinking a coke.

I smiled at him and sat in front of him in the booth.

"So, do you want something to drink? He asked.

"Yes, I would like to have some juice please." I said.

He ordered and we waited for my drink. When the waitress brought it for me, he began to put his books on the table.

"Sorry, about yesterday." He said.

"It's okay, never mind" I said.

We began talking and I began to help him with math. He was really good at it, he just needed some guidance. He is not a dumb jock. He is indeed a very bright boy.

After 3 hours of working with him, we decided to stop. We will continue it the next day.

He walked me to my car and we said good bye. I turned around and asked:

"Tyler, what happened 8 years ago that day? Would you want to talk about it?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Forbes. Have a good night. Drive safely home and I will see you tomorrow. He turned around and walked away.

I sighed deeply. It was not going to be pretty; we are going to battle it out before he will spill anything about that day. But I am the kind of person who has A LOT of patience. So, I will take it 1 day at a time. Tomorrow I will try again. I drove home, while smiling and singing along to 1 of my favorite songs: All I NEED by Within Temptation. We were not there yet, but we will. I can feel it. He will open up to me again; I just have to try my very best.

Tyler's POV

When Caroline called me saying that she will give me another chance to tutor me, I was shocked but glad. My mom would kill me, if I flunked math. And I am going to kick myself if I lost football. So, I eagerly agreed to meet her at the grill. I took a shower and got dressed. I got into my car and drove to the grill.

I waited there for her patiently and ordered a coke to kill the time. She walked in and I don't know what came over me, but in a flash I saw her. But like a little girl. I shook my head and she sat in front of me. So weird. I thought.

I apologized to her, she said it was okay. I ordered juice for her and we began to work.

After 3 hours of math, I began to see stars. So we decided to stop and continue the next day.

Math isn't hard at all. I was pretty good at it; I guess I just needed a very good tutor.

We walked to her car and said our goodbyes. Just when I wanted to walk away, she turned around to ask me something.

She asked me about, if I wanted to talk about that day. I got a little mad, but I didn't show it.

I denied knowing what she was talking about. And wished her a safe ride home and told her that we will see each other the next day. Then I walked away as fast as I could.

I got in my car and drove home. Oh no! I thought. I had to buy something for my mom at the grocery store. I groaned. So I parked the car at the parking lot of the store. I bought the things on her list and just as I was about to go into my car. I saw a homeless person standing in the middle of the street. I shouted to him to get the h*** out of the road, but he was so drunk and ignored me. A car came straight at him and the driver honked his horn very loudly. But he didn't budge.

There was another car in the opposite direction. Oh no! I thought. I saw a terrible accident about to happen and there was nothing I could do about it! I was terrified and my heart was beating so loud and fast that I could hear it.

I don't know exactly what happened. My groceries fell to the ground. The next thing I knew I directed both my hands in front of me with my hands open and on the man. I don't know what I was thinking, but I tried with a lot of force to push him out of the street with my mind. It happened so fast, but the man did indeed fly to the sidewalk just before the car was about to hit him.

I ran like a crazy person to my car, without my groceries and drove as fast as I could home.

I was hoping and praying that the drivers thought that the homeless man jumped to the side walk himself. And I hoped also that the man didn't realize what happened. Well, he was drunk. So I really doubt it.

When I got to my room, I was pacing. I looked at my hands.

My hands were shaking. I think I am going crazy. That didn't just happen. I did not do that!

OH MY GOD!

Carol Lockwood's POV

"Get out of my house right now! Leave Mystic Falls! And don't you ever come back!

Richard screamed.

I was standing in the living room. I couldn't believe my ears.

"But I love you!" I said. "I can't leave you."

"Love? How could I love a FILTHY creature like you?" he said.

I was so hurt by those words. My heart broke into a million pieces.

"But we have been married for 14 years. And I can not leave Tyler.

"Leave my son out of this. You will leave now!" he said.

"No! He is my son too. He should not be without his mother." I said.

He slapped me hard on my cheek.

"Don't you ever call him that. He is MY son. Get the h*** out of my sight!" he screamed.

I woke up with my sheets and comforter soaked in my sweat. I was having that nightmare again.

Well, they are memories to be exact. Terrible memories.

I began to cry hysterically. Even after all these years. I could still feel the pain I felt when he slapped me. Why did he have to find out about my secret? We were so happy together as a family.

Now he's gone and I am miserable. And the worse thing is that Tyler has suffered the most because of it all. I should've prevented him from finding out.

God have mercy on us. I was still crying, when I heard Tyler come up the stairs. I stopped my sobbing immediately. I wanted to go to my son and tell him everything, because knowing all this is draining the life out of me. But I didn't have the strength or the courage. I couldn't tell him the truth.

So, I just listen to the sounds he makes in his room. And think back on the perfect life that was and that never will come again.

A/N again: Well. What do you guys think? What secret is Carol talking about? And what exactly did Tyler do with his hands? Or is it his mind? Or both?

Please Review and tell me what you think.

Ruby.
