-Caroline -
Stefan had decided to skip school for the day, god knows why So, I ended up going to my first class all alone. I was feeling extremely anxious. Not used to being alone because I am usually surrounded by my friends of brothers. But, today I'm not. since last night the confidence that I have gained began to decrease and my walls felt like they were on the verge of crumbling down, this made me very furious because 4 years ago I was the most independent girl there was, never wanting or asking for help. Not even from my own mother.
I could feel the tears as they began to form as soon as the thoughts of my mother popped into my mind. So, I took a deep breath to calm myself a bit, then entered the class. I was late, And the only other seat left was next to Tyler. Was the universe just out to get me?!
I hadn't realized that I had held my breath until I felt myself gasping for air when I finally sat down. He was looking at me I didn't need to look at him to know that. I felt like a deer caught in his net and that he was watching me closely trying to figure out what to do with me. I moved my head to the side to look him in the eye to prove to him that he didn't scare me.
That's when I noticed his black eye, swollen lips, dark bruises on his neck as if someone had chocked him. And those were just the bruises visible on his face and by the looks of it there were more on his body from the way he winced when he breathed, I almost fell sorry for him He then handed me a note.
I simply threw the paper back at him refusing to open it.
So, after class ended he was right in front me stopping me from going anywhere
" look Caroline" he started with a shaky voice "I know what I did was wrong. But, please forgive me I had too much to drink and I hadn't realized what I was doing "
I just stood silent not really knowing what to do.
" if it makes you feel any better last night a group of guys came and attacked me out of the blue "
I was in shock. This has my brothers written all over it. They must have compelled them some thugs to hurt him.
" Tyler I would never be happy to see you hurt" I said in all honesty. Because it was true, some may call me weak for not wanting to seek revenge on those who hurt me but, I just feel as if I would be just as bad as them
"You have a big heart. And I wish you'd have room in it to forgive me"
" I forgive you " I said quickly. Wanting him off my back
" thank you, better go or the coach will kill me for being late " he said before running off. And I sighed just wanting the day to end.
After I was finally done with all my classes I decided to go to Mr mikealson car. I wanted to thank him for his help yesterday and to also return his jacket.
And soon enough he came towards the car carrying lots of papers.
I offered my help but, he declined. He opened his car door , put the papers inside and then focused his attention on me.
" I just wanted to thank you for the night before "
He gave me a genuine smile that made my knees go weak.
" no need to thank me. Love, " he said in his glorious accent that I just can't seem to get over.
I opened my bag and got out his leather jacket and handed it to him.
He shook his head refusing to take it.
" keep it, it looks much better on you " he said, My stomach flipped, I could feel my cheeks turning red. Was he flirting with me?
I can't take the jacket. Accepting it means I'm opening a door of opportunity for him to get into and that just can't happen, he is my teacher for god's sake.
But, what If I want the door to open?
Maybe I'm just overthinking it and he is just being friendly
" would you like to grab a bite to eat?" He asked in an unsure tone
And my heart was officially beating faster than humming bird's wings
I was in shock And I couldn't trust myself to speak. So, I just nodded accepting his offer even thought I could feel my brain screaming loudly at me telling me that what I was doing was completely insane and that running to the hills would actually be safer.
But, my mind had no control over my body today, as I found myself in my teacher's car and heading off to god knows where.
I gulped in anticipation not knowing what to expect.
After a 15 minute drive he finally stopped at a restaurant that was a bit out of town .We both got out of the car and went inside
We sat down at a table and the waiter handed us our menu's
I ordered a burger and Mr mikealson ordered the same thing.
Then the waiter left and we were alone.
I decided to start up the conversation because the silence was killing me
" Mr mikealson ." I started but he interrupted
" Klaus "
" what?" I asked not understanding what he meant
" you can call me Klaus "
" didn't you say your name was Nicklaus "
" yes. But, I deeply hate the name. So, my family call me nick and my friends call me Klaus "
" so, we are friends?"
" we are certainly not family " he said with a smirk.
" you mentioned that you hated your name. Why?"
" maybe I'll tell you this story another time sweetheart "
" why not now?"
" because I want to know more about you Caroline. Your hopes and dreams."
" I'm not sharing anything Klaus till you share too"
He smiled at me and nodded
" well, my father was the one who named me." He began.
I could feel his cheerfulness disappearing as soon as he started talking about his dad.
His shouldered stiffened and his eyes darkened. He looked like a man who saw centuries worth of pain.
" he was abusive to both me and my siblings but, I usually got the worst of it. I never knew why at first but, soon discovered that I wasn't his son .My mother had an affair with another man and had me .So, he killed my biological father right in front of me "
I gasped. Not fully processing the story about his dad
" please tell me he is either dead or in jail " I said
He laughed
" you could say he was locked up for a few years but, he escaped. Seeking revenge on me and my siblings"
My eyes widened in surprise yet again.
I just wanted to hug him and protect him at the same time. Without thinking I held his hand
And it was his turn to look at me with surprise.
" your safe here Klaus. No one can find you in a boring town like mystic falls, trust me"
He just nodded and I decided to change the subject and answer his question.
" I don't have any hopes or dreams, because if you don't have hopes you don't get disappointed"
I decided to answer him truthfully since He shared something painful with me.
I might not be able to share my dark secrets but, the least I can do is answer as truthfully as possible ,this time he was the one who held my hands tightly. My entire body shivered by, this one touch.
How could he make me feel all these powerful emotions in such a short amount of time?
" there's a whole world out there for you Caroline. Great cities, music and Genuine beauty so, dream big dreams. Hope for the best possible thing. Because I'm sure you will get it Caroline "
I couldn't help but, smile at his words. But, unfortunately, I couldn't hope nor dream I couldn't go out and see the world, I couldn't do anything because I can't leave mystic falls. Not Until Stefan and Damon say it's clear for us to leave. But, it has been 3 years and they haven't found him yet. So, I lost all hope that I'm ever getting out of here
He was drawing circular patterns on my hands with his thumb and I just closed my eyes getting lost in his touch. Feeling sparks spreading from my hands to the rest of my body.
If he could leave that effect on me by just a simple touch, I'm afraid to find out what would happen if it were more.
When I opened my eyes, I found him staring at me with his Ocean blue eyes. My eyes then landed on his lips and I couldn't stop the thoughts of kissing him. But, thankfully the waiter came right on time with our food and we both ate in silence .After we finished our food he paid and then we left.
" thank you Klaus . I really needed a good night out "
" anytime love,"
With that he drove me back a few blocks away from my house so, my brothers wouldn't see me with him.
And I knew that things between us were no longer just a student teacher relationship.
