First: I apologize for the many grammar errors in chapter 3, I really wanted to update and forgot to spell-check!
Second: Thank you reviewers, really means a lot to me =)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries but if I could decide what I would dream about a certain original would most definitely star in them.
Caroline was staring out the window. Today had been such an eventful day she was glad Klaus didn't speak on the way back.
'I don't know how and I don't know why.'
'All you have to do is ask,' Klaus was in front of her trying to catch her eyes with his.
'Caroline,'
It took a minute for her to realize he was trying to get her attention.
'Yes?'
'I don't want you to be forced into…'
'forced into what?'
'Into letting me get to know you.' He was looking at the road.
'I want to,' it was only a whisper but she knew he heard her. He didn't respond. Caroline looked up and saw a faint smile on his lips.
Seeing him smile because of her made her happier then she cared to admit.
The sign welcoming them to Mystic Falls appeared and it ended Caroline's short-lived happiness. Klaus drove her home, every second went by brought her closer to having to say goodbye.
'What will happen now?'
'Now you will get out of the car. I will wish you a goodnight and then you'll go inside.' He explained it to her like she had just asked him the answer to one plus one.
'Just like that?' she asked finding herself get more irritated by the second.
'What do you want to happen Caroline?'
She couldn't help but feel so angry at him. It was like he had a split personality. One moment he would tell her she could have the world and the next he was telling her to get out of his car.
'You know what? Nothing. I don't want anything to happen.' Caroline got out of the car and ran inside. Once inside she closed the door and slid down it.
'Caroline? Is that you?'
Caroline furrowed her eyebrows. It wasn't her mother calling her name, it was Elena.
She got up quickly and straightened out her outfit.
'Hi! What are you doing here?' she said with the biggest smile she could give.
'You weren't at school so I was worried.' Elena gave her a quick hug and sat down at the kitchen table.
'I just didn't feel like it.' She couldn't look Elena in the eye. She knew she would see right through her lie.
'Where have you been?' She could hear Elena knew something was up. 'You've been so far away lately Care. What's wrong?'
'Nothing. I'm fine. I've just been shopping to get my mind off my dad.'
'Where are your bags?'
She really hadn't thought this through. She got up to get Elena something to drink but before she could get her a glass the next question was asked.
'Why are you covered in dirt?'
'Klaus,' she could hear a voice was still trembling.
She sat down in the cold slightly wet dirt. All she could do was sit there and look at this place he had decided to bring her. She already appreciated the silence. She could hear herself think, she was finally alone for more than ten seconds. Apart from Klaus.
'Caroline,' he answered.
'Thank you for bringing me here.'
He just gave her a slight smile. 'My pleasure sweetheart.'
She felt the goose bumps pop up when he called her sweetheart. She sighed and buried her head in her arms that loosely rested on her pulled up knees.
'You can only feel low when you've been high.'
Caroline let out a laugh.
'They way you speak,' she could hear herself giggle but she couldn't stop. 'It's like quote after quote.'
He feigned a hurt look but she could see a smile in his eyes.
'Let's go, it's getting late.'
He got up and offered her his hand. The moment she took it she could feel it again. that feeling of not wanting to let go.
She snapped out of it and answered Elena.
'What's with the third degree Elena?' she looked her right in the eyes. She knew it wasn't fair to get mad at Elena but she was so frustrated.
'Damon thinks you might hurt yourself.'
'What?' she asked incredulously.
'He says he has seen it before. It's bad for a vampire to become slightly depressed. All of your emotions are heightened Care, you know that. I would hate for you to feel depressed or sad. I don't want you to feel alone.'
Caroline gave her a genuine smile.
'I'm sorry for shutting you out. It's just hard to deal with it all at once.' Elena nodded and gave her a hug.
'Just know I'm here.'
Caroline smiled. She knew Elena would always be there for her but it was nice to hear her say it.
'Why don't you stay over? We can have some much needed girl talk.'
It wasn't much later when Caroline found herself on her bed with Elena in front of her.
'Stefan is getting better. I swear, I can see the real him in his eyes from time to time.'
Caroline was trying to concentrate but it was hard.
'So Care, we should find you a new lover,' Caroline laughed at the suggestion but stopped when she saw Elena wasn't kidding.
'I'm serious,' Elena continued. 'I guess a vampire lover would be best.'
'Yes, All things living will die eventually right. I guess human is no longer my type. It's not even my species.'
'I happen to know a vampire who likes you,' Elena said wiggling her eyebrows.
'What? Who? Come on, you know like three vampires. Me, Stefan and Damon,'
Elena just looked at her waiting to get the point.
'What?' Caroline asked her shocked. She knew Stefan didn't like her that only left one person.
'Damon,' Elena laughed. 'You don't see the way he looks at you?'
Caroline wanted to answer her but was stopped by a low growl.
She looked at Elena trying to figure out if she had heard it too. Apparently not, it had been her vampire hearing.
She got off the bed and walked over to the window. She tried to find out where the growl had come from and surely she saw something moving. He showed himself, he looked angry.
She raised her eyebrows at him. Before she knew it he had disappeared.
'Well?' she heard Elena go on behind her excitedly.
'Well what?' Caroline had forgotten what they were talking about.
'Damon?'
'Oh right, no, how did that even happen?'
'Does it matter, he likes you.'
'I don't want a boyfriend, and I definitely don't want Damon as my boyfriend.'
'Why not? You know he's a good guy…deep…deep down,' Elena laughed at her own joke and even Caroline let out a laugh.
'I know, he's my friend and just that. I just don't want any of that drama in my life right now. it's complicated enough. Can we just drop it?'
Elena agreed and after a conversation about everything and nothing she finally fell asleep. Caroline got up trying not to wake her. She could feel he was still close, she didn't even need the growls that came from outside every once in a while.
She went outside trying to find him.
'Klaus?' she whispered. It only took him seconds to appear.
He still looked mad as hell.
I have a question for you guys! I've been reading Karoline fanfiction for a while now and does anybody else get confused? =P I alerted several stories and I get so confused which scene belongs to what story. Anybody else experience that or is it just my short attention span?
Thank you for ready and please review =)
