Chapter 3.
This was like something that was out of a bad romance movie, this is unreal. This is a dream, yeah a dream! A horrible HORRIBLE dream. WAKE UP CAROLINE, WAKE UP!
But she wasn't dreaming. This was reality, and as she stared into the eyes of her ex-boyfriend she was slowly accepting the fact, the Gods above and below hated her guts and wanted her to be miserable.
Over the last few years she hasn't seen or spoken to Klaus, she had imagined how their reunion would be like. I mean, what girl hasn't?
Would he have called her to make things okay? Would they have bumped into each other and smiled at one another as they caught up with their past events for the last 5 years? Would they have laughed about what happened between each other and call truce? Or would he have stalked her to make her life a living hell and find the chance to brutally murder her for being a bitch and hurting him... Yeah that wasn't her greatest idea. Either way she imagined so many scenarios throughout the years, but she would have never imagined knocking Klaus over because of her clumsy ass in the middle of the streets of New York and have his face an inch away from her own.
It's been 5 years since she's seen or felt him. Sure she had a few crushes, went on a couple of dates and very few men she had sex with to get rid of an itch, but Klaus... Although she could feel his body has become more muscular and masculine compared to his younger self under the thin material of her blue dress, her body was reacting and betraying her as her body remembered all the countless times he has ravished her until she couldn't speak properly and could only feel tears slip through her tear-ducts and screamed till her throat was hoarse at the relentless amount of pleasure he would have given her.
But even though her body remembered it all, she couldn't help but to feel shocked, not from her sudden reunion with Klaus, but at the fact she couldn't recognize the man she once loved in front of her.
She recognized the quick shock and confusion in his eyes, but he also had a cold emotionless look in his eyes. She has never been on the receiving end of that look, and she didn't even think Klaus was capable of such a look. So she couldn't help but to just shudder at the unfamiliar sight.
"Are you guys okay?"
They both stopped staring at one another as they both looked up in a rapid speed to see Stefan and Katherine looming over them, worried that they were hurt.
"DAMN GIRL! I knew you had a fat ass, but never did I think the day would come when you knocked someone over with those! You've been blessed child!"
She started to feel her whole face heat up as she felt the eyes of Klaus and the handsome green eye stranger giving a quick glance at her ass. Turning to her boss/ roommate/ best friend she gave her a quick glare for embarrassing her even more than she already was. It was already bad enough she was in awkward situation with her ex-boyfriend, she didn't need Katherine's teasing. "KATHERINE! SERIOUSLY?! This isn't the best time for your comments about my butt! "
With nonchalance she gave her a shrug as they both knew it was the truth anyways.
"Klaus, the conference is about to end soon. I think it would be best to get you out of here before your fans see you. So... you should probably get up now..."
Hearing Stefan speak, they both realized they were still in the same compromising position as they were in before.
He was laid down on the pavement floor as he slightly picked himself up with his forearms behind him for more leverage, with his right knee raised. While Caroline was in between his legs, on her knees with her hands on his firm pecs and both chests were attached to one another like glue. If anyone was to see the sight in front on them, they would have thought they were a couple, for it looked as if they were already used to the close contact with each other.
Before she could get up so Klaus can get out underneath her, he suddenly stood up as if he was electrocuted allowing her to fall backwards on her ass.
THIS IS NOT MY FREAKING DAY.
Caroline rubbed her butt as she felt her cheeks sore from the sudden contact of the cement and looked up with a glare to yell at Klaus, but was once again met with his icy cold dark blue eyes.
She gaped at him as he continued on staring at her with his eyes void of all emotions. She wanted to speak. Ask him why he kept looking at her that way, but she couldn't. He made her feel helpless... Small, a small bug who Klaus would enjoy squashing without a blink of an eye and she hated it. She was not weak, she was strong. She was Caroline freaking Forbes, not a stupid icky bug! She had the ability to help rise a small business all on her own and could do anything she wanted to do if she set her mind to it!
... But why is it as she stared into his eyes it made her feel otherwise? She couldn't think of any ideas (besides breaking up with him of course) as to why she was on the receiving end of such a look, and her curiosity wouldn't die down.
"Let's go Stefan."
He walked past Caroline without another glance as he made his way towards the limousine that was only a few feet away, but couldn't as he felt something or rather someone preventing him from moving as it was latched onto his left arm.
He turned his head slightly to see what was stopping him and was met with a distressed Caroline. She looked like she was trying to figure out what to say, but was having a difficult time as she kept opening her mouth and closing it like she was a fish gasping for air. He would have laughed at the sight, but Klaus does not laugh nor does he smile. Not for a long time now...
"Do you know her Klaus?"
He looked at his bodyguard/ best friend Stefan as he looked confused at what was happening. He didn't know whether to do his job or allow the girl named Caroline to continue on with what she was trying to do, but was clearly failing.
Glancing at the woman he loved once more, he spoke with no emotion as if she was a waste of time and space and that was exactly how she felt. "I've never seen her before in my life."
Ouch... Okay that hurt...
She let go immediately after the lie he had claimed to the green eye stranger who clearly looked like his bodyguard, and watched as he walked away from her and got inside the limousine without another glance towards her direction.
She stood there watching him being driven away, trying to contemplate on what just happened in the last 5 minutes.
"Caroline?"
She got out of the daze she was in and turned to Katherine as she also stood there watching Caroline with a serious face. She completely forgot Katherine was even there as her last interaction with Klaus caused her mind to kind of shut down, and she started to get nervous. What if Katherine realized who Klaus really was? She knew even with how Katherine acts, she was actually a smart girl. That's why so many girls hated her back in high school, she used her intellectual to get payback for all the girls who's done her wrong even if it was something unimportant. That's why they all named her The Conniving Bitch of Mystic Falls.
"Yeah Katherine?" her voice shook anxiously and hoped she didn't notice.
She was starting to get nervous as Katherine stared her down with unblinking eyes, and she was already trying to come up with some lies to throw Katherine off the idea of Klaus ever being involved with her.
"Do you think if I start doing more squats, I can use my ass to knock down a hot guy too?"
Okay, so maybe Katherine wasn't the smartest person around...
Another one of his expensive well carved chair was thrown against the wall and broke into pieces as he watched the wooden splinters scatter around the broken chair.
He breathed heavily trying to figure out how to breathe again, trying to calm himself down, but he was failing miserably.
He looked around the living room as the glass vases, the television, DVD's, chairs and tables were broken and scattered around the room. It looked as if a tornado passed through his living room and the sight only angered him more.
How? How could this have happened?!
Never in a million years did he think he would be reunited with those bright blue eyes of hers, hear her melodic voice and feel her soft body against his own because of who he was and what he did.
He spent years trying to get rid of her from his thoughts and dreams, and has been successful as he replaced her with other women warming his bed, and his busy schedules preventing him from thinking about her. But it was as if everything he has worked so hard for, was crashing down on him at the sudden and unexpected reunion of Caroline Forbes.
How is it even after 5 years, she was still able to affect him so badly?...
He was an actor and a damn good one. Even though he was shocked and confused at seeing Caroline, he was able to pull himself together and use his acting to good use.
He acted as if her presence didn't cause a deep stirring inside his heart and stomach and stopped himself from acting like a complete buffoon after she fell on top of him, he tried to act as if he didn't remember the addiction he held towards her soft body. How he remembered the way her body reacted so easily to the way he tasted her or when he pounded into her, or how her face of pleasure and cries caused his cock to feel as if it was about to burst. He acted as if she disgusted him, even though that was clearly a lie. He acted as if he didn't notice and appreciate the great changes in Caroline's body of the young teenager he once knew, into one of a woman. He acted as if he didn't feel the familiar pounding in his chest at the touch of her hand as she stopped him. He acted as if he didn't care that she still held the light he once loved inside of herself even after all these years. He acted as if he didn't feel the small guilt and prick in his heart at the sight of the hurt look on her face as he lied of their relation. He acted as if she had no effect on him, as if she was nothing. No one.
But his heart was telling him otherwise.
Grabbing a bottle of bourbon from his hidden stash of alcohol from the kitchen cabinet he walked to the couch as it was the only thing intact and walked on the wooden splinters, plastic and glass cutting into his feet, but he paid no attention. He sat down and took large gulps out of his bottle and felt the alcohol burn his throat and slowly numb his body. He just stared aimlessly at his distorted knuckles he broke 5 years ago and never had the proper treatment. Who would have known after taking his anger out on his door, and knocking and pounding against the door to Caroline's home for 2 weeks straight would have led to this...
The wounds on the bottom of his feet was starting to soak his once white socks into a crimson red, but he didn't care. No pain in the world would ever compare to what Caroline has done to him. Not even the abuse from his childhood came close to the pain he felt as Caroline ripped his heart out 5 years ago, making him unable to feel anything at all except anger, sadness, and emptiness...
5 Years Ago
"Okay Klaus, that was great. So was the other 10 shots you've done. Maybe it's time to go home now..."
He turned to the director and glared at him as he reveled in the fear he clearly saw in his eyes, and growled as he spoke. "It wasn't good enough. AGAIN."
They've been filming the same scene over and over again for the last 2 hours and everyone was getting exhausted as it was way past filming time, but they were afraid of feeling the wrath of Klaus's anger that he has been showing for the last few days. It was strange how when they met him back in the small unknown town in Virginia, he was this charming, polite, happy man who clearly showed his love for acting. But now, as they moved their filming to New Orleans he was this ruthless, angry man who took his work too seriously as if it was a chore.
Klaus didn't give a shit if he was wasting money on the films, he didn't care about the fact he kept people from their homes and family. He didn't care if they were starting to hate him. All he cared about was having a distraction. Anything to keep himself awake and forget all the emotions stirring up in his heart and mind. Anything to get rid of her smiling face, anything to get rid of the constant ringing in his ear as her addictive laugh of content and happiness was on repeat, just anything to get rid of the love he held for her... Just anything...
"I apologize for my brothers actions. I think it would be best for all of you to go on home now and have a nice rest. Thank you for all your hard work everyone."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief as Elijah did the deed no one had the courage to do and couldn't wait until they got home to take a few hours of rest until they had to deal with Klaus's mood again and didn't even hesitate as they all hurriedly started packing all their things and equipment as they left the two brothers alone on the set.
Once Elijah looked around the empty set to make sure they were alone, he turned to Klaus with a glare etched onto his face.
"Niklaus, you need to stop."
Turning to look at Elijah, Elijah had to take a double look at his brother to make sure it really was him. Even with the concealer under his eyes from the professional makeup artist, it was visibly noticeable he hasn't slept in days, and although his brother was never the happiest person on earth, it was as if he held no emotion. The brother he once knew who stood his ground tall and proud was now like a living doll. He couldn't recognize his younger brother who he once knew, and was afraid he made one of the biggest mistake in his life... Taking Caroline Forbes away from him.
"What exactly do I need to stop doing Elijah? Isn't this exactly what you wanted? To make my so called dreams come true and become the actor you wanted me to be? Wasn't this all you wanted from me as you stood by my side as we left Mikael's home. Left Mystic Falls? What else do you want from me... What more can you take from me..."
His eyes softened at the painful sight of his brother in front of him. He thought if he helped Klaus with his dreams he would be happy again and he himself would be able to redeem himself and finally act like the older brother he was suppose to be towards Klaus and help him become the young boy who was once full of kindness, love and happiness. Now all he wanted was for Klaus to show some type of emotion. He wouldn't mind if he even yelled at him! However, he was afraid it was too late. For Klaus has been broken down and fear claimed his own body as he realized this sight was more fearful than Klaus's anger.
"I think you should get some rest Klaus. Your exhaustion is taking a toll on your body. You need to sleep."
Klaus shook his head no rapidly as he hated the mere idea of sleep.
"No. no. NO. YOU CAN'T FORCE ME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE I DON'T WANT! I WON'T, NO."
Elijah's eyes widened in fear as he saw Klaus screaming. His body shook in a unnatural manner and his breathing became uneven. He knew then and there Klaus was hyperventilating like he had done as a child after the first time Mikael has ever hurt him. But that was a long time ago, and it had stopped after the first few weeks.
Elijah lost his normal collected composure as he was scared to the bones at what was in front of him. Without another thought he quickly ran to him and done something he hasn't done since they were children. He crushed Klaus into a tight hug, and tried to soothe him by rubbing his hand to the back of his head. He could feel the sweat embedded on Klaus's forehead and the sweat mingling with Klaus's curly locks of hair as he thrashed against Elijah to push him away as he screamed in pain.
Elijah felt the tears gather up around the socket of his eyes and looked up at the ceiling to prevent the tears from falling as he saw the only light on the set that was still turned on for them shining on them as if it was mocking him. He was saddened at what he has done. He thought his actions was an noble act, but he made a grave mistake for he had ruined his own brother's happiness and sanity. He felt Klaus's fingers digging into his well-ironed suit, and his nails breaking into his skin. He ignored the ringing in his ear as Klaus continued on with his screaming, but for once he could care less about his suit and the pain on his back as he felt his heart ache in pain for Klaus who was in an even more unspeakable, unbearable pain. His screams began to quiet down and all he was able to do was whisper the word no next to his ear as Klaus laid his chin on top of his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry Niklaus, I'm so sorry..."
They stood there in the same position for what felt like hours, but was only a few minutes and finally let go of one another.
They didn't speak another word as they walked into Klaus's trailer to gather his things and went on their way to the hotel they were currently residing in for the time being.
Throughout the car ride and the walk to their hotel rooms, Klaus didn't utter a word or a sound and Elijah kept glancing at him with a nervous look in case he was to break down once more.
Finally making it to the front doors of their rooms that were next to each other, Klaus put his hotel card into the slot and was about to close the door once he stepped into the hotel room until he stopped as he heard Elijah speak.
"Niklaus?"
He looked at his brother with his hand on the inside doorknob as Elijah stood there in the hallway second guessing himself if he should really ask him what he has been curious to know, but stood his ground as he figured it was worth trying.
"Why are you so against the idea of falling asleep?"
They stood there in silence as Elijah stared at him waiting to see what Klaus would say, while Klaus was just blankly staring at the beige walls of the hallway.
Klaus still didn't utter a sound, so Elijah lost all hope of knowing the truth and was about to take out his own card to open the door until he finally heard Klaus let out a sigh.
"I- ... I'm afraid Elijah."
Elijah looked at Klaus, confused at his sudden confession and felt the pain in his heart once more for his brother as he looked so lost, devastated, and vulnerable.
"I'm afraid of falling asleep, because I know once I do I'll see her again. I'm afraid once I see her in my dreams, I'll never be able to differentiate the difference between what is real and what is only a figment of my imagination... But the scary part of it all is that I know if the only way I can be with her is in my dreams, then I'd rather stay asleep for an eternity and forever lose my sanity... If I can see her again."
Saying what he had to say, he slowly closed his door, and left Elijah shocked at the deep confession he has just heard.
Losing the feelings in his legs, Elijah slammed his back to his door and felt himself sliding down to the carpet maroon floor and felt the tears of pain and guilt towards Klaus falling down his face.
Elijah was not one to lose his composure, but with all the stress and guilt that has been building up inside of him, he lost it. And he cried for the what he has forced his own brother to lose.
What have I done...
"Good morning, Wake up already! It's getting late sleepy head!"
He felt his eyes fluttering open, as he tried to get his eyes to focus on the blurry image in front of him and once he did, he saw his sweet Caroline leaning over him with the sun shining down on her, illuminating her golden locks of hair and saw that beautiful peaceful smile on her face.
"Am I dreaming again?"
She looked at him as if he was crazy and burst out in laughter and felt his heart clench in a delightful way as he was reunited with the beautiful sound of her laughter.
"No silly! You're awake, now get your lazy ass up. I made breakfast."
He used the back of his forearms to get himself up as he was reunited with the sight of his old bedroom back in Mystic Falls he so clearly thought he sold.
"Are you going to stay in bed all day or are you going to get up?"
He turned his attention back to her as he took in everything he saw.
She looked exactly the same as she did the morning she left him. She sat at the edge of the bed dressed in only her panties and his old grey Henley shirt. The same soft lips, same well balanced nose, same light brown eyebrows, same shoulder length wavy blonde hair, same ivory soft skin, and same bright blue eyes. She was really here in front of him...
But everything he imagined from their breakup felt so real, and yet here he was as if all the horrible things that he had thought had happened, was untrue.
Caroline started to fidget in her spot as Klaus continued to stare at her and started to feel uncomfortable.
"If you're just gonna just sit there and stare at me then I'll just go eat your share of the food and get fat by myself."
She got up to do exactly what she said until she felt his hand on her wrist and felt herself falling as Klaus trapped her into his arms as he crushed her in a very tight hug.
He felt relief overcome his body as he was met with the familiar smell of the faint scent of honeysuckle embedded into her hair as he deeply inhaled her scent and relished in the feeling of having her in his arms. The touch of her body didn't feel the same as he thought it would, but he didn't care. He finally had his Caroline back after what felt like centuries, and he was never going to let go. Never.
"I can't breathe, you're crushing me."
He heard her gasping for air and immediately let go as she tried to catch her breathe.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, it's just... I had a horrible dream."
She quirked her eyebrow at his strange statement until her expression softened as she saw the confused and tormented expression Klaus had.
She went to grab his hands, and he ignored the thought of why he couldn't feel her warmth like he usually did as their skins were in contact.
"Tell me about it, what happened?"
He felt unsure if he wanted to recall every realistic heartbreaking moment that had happened in his dreams, but when he looked into Caroline's compassionate eyes he knew he could speak about it, for he knew she will be there for him since she was his best friend. His lover. His...
"I... I had a dream. It was our 2nd anniversary and I planned to propose to you because I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else, but you. So I did. I did everything you would have wanted when someone was to propose to you, and instead of hearing you scream out the word yes in excitement like I thought you would. I was met with your silence and the word no."
He saw the familiar gesture of her rubbing her thumbs over his hands in a soothing manner, but was still confused with why he couldn't actually feel it.
"You started to lay out all the problems that were between us, and told me you wanted to break up. I spent weeks going to your house, begging you to talk to me. An explanation, just anything to hear your voice again and why you wanted to give up on us... on me. But you never did, and I left to pursue my acting career."
When he looked up he was met with her wide eyes as she tried to speak, not knowing what to say until she blurted out what she was thinking throughout everything she had heard.
"You dreamed of proposing to me?"
He started to laugh at the unexpected answer through Caroline's mouth and rose his eyebrow as he smirked at her.
"Throughout everything I said, that's the only thing you've heard?"
He saw her face turning an adorable shade of red as she let out a puff of air as she frowned at him.
"Well, although I'm sad to hear you would think I would ever leave you, of course I'm surprised to hear you say you dreamed of proposing to me! We never even spoken about it, so excuseeee me for asking!"
He laughed as he enjoyed seeing her this way, as if it was normal, as if nothing ever changed and was relieved everything he dreamed wasn't true. Until his expression turned serious and he gazed into her eyes for he had to know the truth.
"Would you though..."
Still embarrassed and annoyed with what occurred she glared at him in annoyance and confusion at what he said.
"Would I what?"
He continued to stare into her eyes and saw her defense around him was slowly breaking down and was staring back at him as if she fell under an unspoken spell.
"If I proposed to you right here. Right now. Would you accept my offer?"
He waited in silence as she stared at him in shock with her mouth wide open, until he saw tears gather around her eyes and saw her million dollar smile break out on her face.
"YES! YES I'LL MARRY YOU KLAUS!"
She quickly jumped on top of him and felt his heart about to burst as he felt his heart feel light as the happiness of hearing her laugh, watching her smile and cry in happiness, and hear the one word he has been dying to hear occur. Everything was a dream come true.
He closed his eye at the happiness he felt as he took in what just happened, until his eyes suddenly opened and he let go of her immediately as he stepped out of the bed and stared at her with shock and felt his body violently shake at what he has just discovered.
"Klaus what's wrong?"
He continued to stare at her in silence as he saw her looking at him worried about him, but felt like the world was crashing down on him as he felt tears pricking his eyes while his heart was breaking in half at the sight of her.
"You're not real."
She looked at him in confusion and also stood up as she tried to hold his face to calm him down.
"Of course, I'm real. Why would you ever think that?"
He grabbed hold of her wrists as he realized why he couldn't feel her warmth at all, he was dreaming again.
"You called me Klaus... You never, ever call me Klaus unless you're upset at me... You're only a part of my dreams. You're not real..."
Her eyes widened at the mistake she had made and stepped away from him as if she was burned as he discovered the truth, and stared at him in sadness.
"I'm sorry..."
He woke up abruptly as he sat up and tried his best to calm himself. He looked around his surroundings and was met with the destruction of his living room, and remembered why he caused such a havoc.
He leaned back to the couch as he realized he fell asleep while he was drinking and dreamed of what happened after he left Mystic Falls and the familiar dream he would have, after the few months of his break up with Caroline.
It's been years since he had a dream about her, and now that he finally saw Caroline it was happening again.
He felt angry at himself, at her! for causing all of this. However, just as his anger quickly came. It disappeared as he realized something.
It was just a one time thing, he won't ever see her again. It won't ever happen again. Never...
Who does the bastard think he is?! Just because he became a hot shot actor, he could treat me like that?! Well SCREW HIM! He could do whatever the hell he wants, I could care less, that stupid asshole!
It's been a few days since she bumped into Klaus and she was still seething with anger for the way he treated her. She's been in a bad mood for the past few days and no one wanted to mess with her, not even Katherine.
So now that it was Saturday, and she didn't need to go to work, she decided to take a stroll around Central park with her DSLR camera around her neck to take pictures of anything she found remotely beautiful, a hobby she picked up around being Klaus, but whatever. She wanted to take her mind off of that stupid jerk without telling her best friends early that morning. It wasn't too difficult since Katherine wasn't home even though that was weird since Katherine was not a morning person and normally slept in, but she just let it go.
She quietly strolled through the cement path, closing her eyes to take in the warm breeze of that hot summer day feeling at peace as she heard the rustling of the leaves on the tress, until she felt herself lose her balance and the peaceful atmosphere disappear.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!"
She quickly balanced herself as she felt two girls bump into her as they ran past her.
"Seriously?!"
She rubbed her shoulder from the abrupt contact of the rude girls who bumped into her and saw an abnormally large group of people gathered.
What the hell?...
Curious with what was happening, she quickly walked to the scene and saw cameras, lights, and all kinds of equipment she couldn't really recognize. She tapped on the shoulder of one stranger who was jumping up and down with excitement and once she caught the person's attention she asked what she's been curious about.
"What's going on here?"
Looking at Caroline in bewilderment as if she just grew two heads, scoffed at how clueless she was.
"They're shooting a scene for this new big movie, and we're all here to watch of course!"
Nodding her head, she gave her thanks to the stranger as the girl turned her attention back to the set and continued on jumping up and down like a kangaroo.
She wanted nothing to do with what was going on, so she made a decision to walk in the right direction where there was less people.
After a few minutes of walking, the screaming of the fans were very faint and she finally let out a sigh of relief until she saw trailers and the workers for the movie a few feet away. Realizing she shouldn't be here she was about to turn around and head out to another direction until she felt someone grab onto her arm.
"What are you doing here? Paparazzi's are not authorized to be here!"
She was surprised by the sudden voice, and saw it was a worker as she saw the pass around his neck.
"What? I'm not a paparazzi!"
The person scoffed at Caroline's statement and pointed at the camera around her neck. "Oh then I'm guessing this is just for show then? Give me that camera, you're not allowed to take pictures!"
She felt the man tugging on her camera in a harsh manner and started struggling to get out of his hold.
"Get off me! I didn't take any damn pictures, GET OFF ME!"
"I suggest you let go of her mate."
They both turned their attention to the unexpected voice and the person was about to yell at the intruder from doing his job until he realized who he was.
"Mr. Mikaelson! I didn't know you were here. I'm just trying to take this paparazzi's camera away. She was intruding on our set."
Caroline let out a scoff at the man's statement and glared at him as she ignored the sight of Klaus standing in front of her. "I told you already, I didn't take any pictures and I'm not a freaking paparazzi! Let go of me already, you're hurting me!"
She saw the man glaring at her and was about to yell at her again, until he stopped when he felt Klaus's bodyguard Stefan appear out of nowhere and grab a hold of the person's hand.
Klaus walked to where they stood with his hands behind his back as he smiled a cold smile at the man that caused him to freeze in fear. "You heard her, she said she's not a paparazzi. So I suggest you let go of her unless you want her to file a lawsuit against us and ruin the good reputation for this movie. You wouldn't want to be the downfall for this movie. Now would you?"
Not knowing what else to do the man immediately let go of Caroline and her camera as he scurried away while muttering out the word sorry.
She rubbed the spot the man held on her arm and saw Klaus walking away with his bodyguard.
Without thinking everything through, she quickly ran to him and grabbed his arm. "Wait!"
Suddenly Stefan appeared in front of her, blocking her view of Klaus to stop her from getting any closer as he knew Klaus had no relation with her. Until they heard Klaus speak.
"It's okay Stefan. Leave us for a moment."
He looked at Klaus in confusion, but listened to his order and walked away leaving them both alone.
They stood there staring at one another, taking in each others presence after all these years
"Uhm, hi." she started lamely. "How are you?"
Holy shit, seriously Caroline? After 5 years, that's the first thing you can think of?!
She knew it was stupid of her to try to talk to him again, but she knew she had to do this, she needed this for herself.
The stretched silence between them was excruciating and she was starting to regret her decision of trying to talk to him when he wouldn't even give her an answer. Should she try to save herself and walk away from the trouble and embarrassment?
She was just about to leave, but Klaus finally replied back. "Fine. You?"
"I'm good..." She was gradually starting to feel like an idiot, but she really didn't know what else to say. Normally she would blabber on with everything that was occurring in her life to Klaus, but that was years ago... Their relationship isn't the same as it used to be.
"So.." He started making Caroline to look up expectantly. "Anything else?"
She felt her heart drop at his unexpected answer and couldn't find the words to speak, so all she could do was shake her head no.
"Okay. I have to go." With that, he left without another glance.
She stood there not moving after the first awkward conversation they've had since five years. What the hell was she thinking, trying to talk to him again? Oh right, she wanted to know her place, and if she still had one.
Now she knew.
She had none.
Solemnly she retraced her steps to leave the park, so she can forget the awkward moment she had with Klaus, until she heard someone.
"CAROLINE!"
Turning around to the noise, she saw Bonnie and Elena running towards her with Katherine strutting her way in her high Louis Vuitton heels.
She was shocked to see her friends, but then again. Klaus was here, she shouldn't expect anything less of Bonnie and Elena's sources to find celebrities. While Katherine was always their victim.
"What are you doing here?"
Caroline slightly smiled at them as she wasn't in the greatest mood, and lifted up the camera latched around her neck. "I wanted to take some pictures. I saw the set for that new movie, how was it? "
Not noticing Caroline's mood they started to speak with excitement of what they saw. "IT WAS AMAZING YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT! God Klaus looked so hot as he was acting, he's amazing!"
"Yeah, and the director Damon looked pretty amazing too!"
She nodded at her friend's relentless blabbering and looked at the set to see it was finished and people were packing all the equipment away.
"Bitch alert."
Caroling looked at Katherine in confusion at her comment and looked in the same direction as Katherine was, and saw exactly what she meant.
Headed their way was Hayley Marshall and her group of friends. They all hated her, because of how she would mistreat Caroline for taking Tyler's attention away from her. She was a co-worker of Tyler's and ex-fling from what he told her and was jealous that Tyler moved on to her. So now, with every chance she got, she would always find a way to insult Caroline and her friends.
"Well, well. What do we have here? Pathetic bitches trying to get autographs?"
Katherine made her way towards her already ready to fight with her fist raised. "Why you little fucking-"
"Katherine." Grabbing hold of Katherine's clenched fist she shook her head no at Katherine for they knew they shouldn't stoop to Hayley's level. "Let's just go."
Turning Katherine away from the scene, she felt Hayley grab hold of her arm. Is everyone not going to stop grabbing her arm or what?!
"I'm not done talking to you!" Hayley sneered at Caroline.
Turning around to the angry brunette, she glared at her as she saw her hand on her arm. "Oh yeah? Well I am. I really don't care about what you're going to say and I don't have the time for your childish, immature behavior. So don't fuck with me right now, and never touch me again."
Everyone was shocked at her behavior and her use of profanity, since she would just normally ignore Hayley's insults. But with everything that has been happening with Klaus, she just wasn't in the mood and she was only human. There was only so much she can take.
Ripping her arm out of Hayley's grip she walked away with everyone left standing there still staring at her in shock.
Folding her arms, Katherine let out a smirk as she watched Caroline walk away. "I've taught her well."
Hayley growled as Caroline was walking away from her, furious at the audacity to speak to her that way. No one walks away from her, no one.
She smirked when she saw her opportunity. A wire connected to a lighting equipment.
She waited for the perfect chance, and when she saw Caroline was right under the post. Without any hesitation, she tugged on the wire making it go out of balance.
"CAROLINE."
She heard her friends, and someone cry out her name and she instantly turned. It was as if everything was going in slow motion as she saw him running towards her.
All she can feel is his arms wrap around her as she felt his warmth after so long. He pushed them to the ground and rolled them out of the way as they heard the glass break and she felt all the air in her lungs knocked out of her due to the impact...
And because of how close he was to her.
"Caroline!"
Amidst the commotion, and many voices calling out to her. She heard one distinct accent voice. A voice she longed to hear call her once more.
She opened her eyes to see Klaus above her. He was looking at her with concern written all over his face and eyes, and she couldn't help but stare as she recognized this man.
This man in front of her was the one she loved so long ago.
"CAROLINE!" she saw Katherine, Bonnie, and Elena running towards her and felt Klaus unwrap himself from her as he stood up.
"Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!" Bonnie cried out as she was checking Caroline for any visible injuries with her mothering nature.
The staff members and lingering fans were starting to approach them. Hayley, who was suddenly frightened of what happened, took a step back and walked away with her friends discreetly.
"You okay Blondie?" Damon asked, and everyone recognized him as the director for the movie. "We'll bring you to the hospital."
Caroline was about to be ushered into one of their vans when she finally found her voice. "N-no it's okay. I'm fine."
Damon didn't want the reputation for his movie to be destroyed, so he looked at her cautiously. "Are you sure? We have a medical staff here if you want to get checked out."
She nodded her head and spoke " Yes-"
"You're bleeding."
She looked up to see Klaus standing there, back to his emotionless self, and looked down and saw that indeed, she was bleeding. She had a cut on her leg from the fall, but it really wasn't a big deal. "I-it's just a scratch, I could just clean it up at home-"
"Stop being so stubborn." Klaus cut her off again as he glared at her. "If you really don't want to go to the hospital that badly, then at least have it checked with our medical staff Caroline." With that, he left and once again Caroline stared at him as he walked off.
"We'll bring her." Elena told Damon, and she started to blush as he openly started to check her out with a smirk of appreciation on his face.
The three of them led Caroline to where the trailers were and Katherine looked at her with worry as she spoke. "Are you really okay Care?"
"Yeah.." Caroline wasn't even bothered at the fact her leg was bleeding. She was more bothered with the fact she couldn't understand Klaus. One moment he looked at her as if she was nothing. His face held no emotions whatsoever, his voice lacking any feelings as he spoke to her. Then the next he was a normal human being, saving her and worried about her well-being. But the next thing you know, he was back to being an emotionless little prick. Why was he like that? What was going through his mind?
"... and I'll beat that little cunt to the ground. I'll make sure of that." Katherine rambled on angrily.
They were close to where the medical staff was when something clicked in everyone except Caroline's mind. They were too concerned over Caroline that they almost forgot about it.
Almost.
They all turned to Caroline with their eyes wide in shock. "HE KNOWS YOU?!"
Aaaaaand that's that! I was going to update soon, but I've fallen ill for the past two weeks, been taking 6 different medications and have been going to the doctors because I discovered I have hearing lose in my left ear. 20 years old and I feel so old...
