This chapter is when Caroline find out why Tyler left... That's all I will tell you. Enjoy and review ?
Caroline was applying her make up in the mirror when Katherine walked in with a glass of blood, "can I interest you in a drink" she examined Caroline , she was wearing the red dress that she refused to wear to school the other day, " wow, you look hot, what are you doing tonight?"
" I have a date.."
"oh... Did you and the wolf patch things up?"
"no" she said fluffing her hair and walking to the door, " a guy named Ryan, super cute..."
"oh well if he puts out take it to his place, I don't want to listen to that all night..."
"bye Kat" she walked out the door giving a little wave...
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door, "did you forget your key, again? Why are you back do early anywa..." Tyler was at the door. "is Caroline home" he said pushing past her to get in the room,
"uumm... How did you get this address?"
" is she home?"
"well obviously not... She's on a date... Speeding of dates... You have just over one day... Are you planning on talking to her or should I take you into custody now?"
"I need to talk to her..."
"well obviously... Have you made any progress?"
"well, she did kiss me..."
"well... I wonder what the girlfriend will think of that..."
"ex-girlfriend, she was there... Kinda dumped me..."
"well if you want me to feel sorry for you... I'm not going to, just because I'm giving you the chance to make it right does not mean we're friends... Now go..."
"fine... I will talk to her..."
At the grill Caroline meet up with Ryan, "nice dress" he said
"thanks"
When they sat down Caroline started, " so I realised that I have agreed to go out with a complete stranger, so, lets start with, what's your last name?"
"heh, you first..."
"fine, Forbes"
"ok, Ryan Gilbert at your service. "
"your a Gilbert? No way!" Ryan looked confused about her excitement, "oh yeah, your like part of the founding families."
"yeah we'll, so were Forbes once soon at time."
"then they moved, we don't get invited to the parties anymore."
"yeah, oh and you know that Tyler guy I lay football with?"
"we have crossed paths"
"well he's in pretty much the same situation, there are hardly any founding families left."
"wow, really? So how well do you know your family history?"
"uh, we'll I know a bit... Up to about 500 years ago..."
"well do tell..."
" uumm, well back in the 2010 was the last family of Gilbert's we have records of, brother and sister Elena and Jeremy Gilbert, now Elena died young but I found this journal of Jeremy's it was filled with lots of weird drawings and stories about vampires and werewolfs and something he calls hybrids, it was quite interesting, it took me a while to figure out they were fiction, but cool none the less."
Later that night caroline found katherine fast asleep on her bed with the tv blaring, when caroline turned it off it started her awake. "so how was the date..."
"he's a Gilbert, Jeremy's bloodline."
"so..?"
"he's really nice and stuff and I really like him..."
"but..."
"but he started talking about Tyler at one point and..."
"it made you realise you would rather of been on a date with him?"
"yeah..." Caroline said defeated then went to bed.
Caroline didn't have the nerve to tell Ryan she thought they should just be friends, so she avoided him all day. That afternoon she went out to cheer leading practice when she was confronted by Chloe " your off the team.."
"what?"
"this is what happens when you make out with other peoples boyfriends.."
"ex boyfriend" Caroline yelled while walking away. Before walking into the door of the school she saw Ryan and Tyler running on the field for practice, this gave her an idea, with Tyler busy for the next hour or so could go to her house and spend some time with it.
The house looked similar but different. All their furniture had gone but she could still see her house in it. Their photos where all gone but there was still the same wall colour and the rug leading down the hall. Caroline walked into what used to be her mothers room, to her relief Tyler had made this his room, she didn't partially like the idea of Tyler fornicating with Chloe, and god knows how many other girls, in her old room. Now, for the thing she was most nervous about, her room, she stood in front of the door then tried to open it, but it was locked, she used her strength and got in, then stood in shock at what stood in front of her.
Not only did this used to be her room, it was her room now, exactly as she had left it 500 years ago. She examined everything, not a speak of dust which was weird. She managed to move over to her dressing table, that seemed to be a mistake. She picked up the charm bracelet that tyler had given her for her birthday, she moved it around in her hands, then she saw the photos, she had forgotten about them, one was stuck to her mirror, Tyler had taken it on his phone, at the last minute he had kissed her on the cheek and captured the moment. The other was in a wooden frame on the table, they were both smiling and their heads turned at the camera but you could see Tyler's eyes had drifted over to look at Caroline. All of a sudden Caroline got mad, she through the braclet at the wall forcing some charms to fly off, then she smashed the photo on the table making the glass shatter and the frame break, at the sight of the photo falling into the ground she felt the first tear fall, then a sudden downpour of tears began she dropped onto the glass covered floor then cure led into a egg shaped ball on the ground, she let it all out, let the tears flow, she was so disconnected that she didn't realise the presence in the room until it had crouched down beside her, "care?" Tyler said. A few things of what to say came into her head, like, why are you home so early or why the fuck is my room still here? But there was only one thing she could get out, "why did you leave me?" she sobbed,
"I did it for you,"
"how was breaking my heart good for me?" Tyler sat down beside her and put his arm around her, he decided this was probably a good time to tell her what had happened and why he left, also he wasn't to keen on being locked by Katherine again so it was now or never. "klaus never would of let himself die Tyler, he just took advantage of you..."
"yeah, we'll that wasn't a risk I was willing to take." Tyler lifted Caroline's head by her chin with a finger, "I'm really sorry," he leaned in and gave her a peak on the lips, when he pulled back she leaned back in for a more passionate kiss that lasted about a minute, Caroline all of a sudden pulled away and speed away back to her apartment.
