Ok, so Caroline was totally not expecting that. She didn't immediately respond as she was slightly shocked but whether it was the alcohol in her veins, her anger and feelings towards Klaus or how good Tyler's lips felt on hers she feverently kissed back.

Tyler deepened the kiss, cupping her face with his hands and bringing her closer, his tongue delicately traced the outline of her lips begging for entrance which she gave into.

Gasping for breath, they slowly pulled apart leaning their foreheads against each other.

'wow' Tyler whispered huskily 'I mean woooow'.

Caroline bit her lip and giggled softly. They were about to lean back in when a hand grabbed her arm fiercely and pulled her away.

"That is enough, Caroline" a voice bit icily.

Tyler took that as his queue to leave, swiftly kissing her cheek and winking at her with a 'I'll text you' he left.

"What the hell, Klaus?" she started angrily but cowered back when she saw the look of fury plastered on his face.

"Don't. Just Don't" he replied murderously " . .NOW" he managed to spit out, his jaw clenched and his hand turning white from the fierceness of his grip on her arm. He tugged her through the crowd of people storming past Rebekah and Tatia.

"Klaus! You are hurting me!" Caroline cried out in protest to his pulling. He let go immediately a flash of worry and regret passed over his face and he gently stroked the part of her arm which was now imprinted with his hand marks. He sighed heavily, his face taking an expression of anger once again. He let out a short growl of irritation.

"I am sorry for hurting you" he said softly before exploding "but WHAT –WHAT- WHY were you with Tyler tonight? WHY were you all over him like a common SLUT? Do you have ANY idea what you looked like in there? It was EMBARASSING Caroline! It made me feel sick to see you all over him. He was clearly just using you for there was a girl who could not take her eyes off of him!"

Klaus went on and on and on. It was like he had no filter. He had never felt so angry, so jealous in his life. Yes he is admitting it he felt jealous. The monster of jealousy and fury buried deep within had come spilling out the moment Lockwood touched his mouth with hers. He went blind with anger. He couldn't see or think straight. He still couldn't. He looked at his best friend who had taken a step back, eyes glistened with tears but a face full of defiance.

"Let us get one thing clear Klaus. You are not my dad, brother or boyfriend. Right now I am questioning whether we are still friends. You dare talk to me like that again then that is me done. Forever. You have your perfect, model girlfriend sorry 'fiancée' so stop getting involved with what I am doing and concentrate on her. And by the way if you think that was me acting like a common slut then you and Tatia obviously don't have a very good sex life." And with a look of pure hatred she walked off. A rush of blonde hair blew past him as Rebekah chased after her.

He gulped down his anger and regrets to turn to Tatia. She folded her arms and narrowed her eyes "do you love me?"

He nodded.

"Do you still want to get married?"

He nodded.

"Do you still want Caroline in your life?"

He nodded.

She sighed and held her hands up in disbelief "I trust you enough to believe you when you say you love me. I don't want to know what your little display was about in there. You need to stop acting like a jealous boyfriend else you can say goodbye to your friendship with Caroline. Let's go home"

Klaus smiled.

She raised her eyebrow suspiciously "what?"

"You called it home" he tugged at her arm and smiled boyishly.

She rolled her eyes but her heart warmed. She could never understand his friendship with Caroline but when they had moments like this she knew he loved her. And soon they would be living in Paris far, far away where she would not have to deal with the blonde.

Bonnie lifted her head up for air. Kol had her pushed against a wall in the corner of the bar where they were hidden out of sight. She ran her hands through his mussed hair.

"We should find everyone else"

"hmmmm" was his reply as he ran kisses down her neck.

"Seriou-oh" she shivered as his lips nibbled gently at her earlobe "ah they will be fine without us".

.

.

.

"Are you going to apologise to her?" Klaus and Tatia got woken up loudly as Rebekah stalked into the room and stood in front of them, hands on her hips.

"Go away Rebekah"

"Are you going to apologise or not?" she turned her gaze onto Tatia who had now sat up in the bed, revealing a slinky, silky nightgown. She almost snorted at how fancy she looked.

"YES" was his rude reply.

Happy she stalked out of the room and got ready to leave the house. She could tell this was going to be a drama filled day.

.

.

.

Klaus did try and apologise. As soon as he woke up he went straight to her room however his attempts were rebuffed and she made it clear she did not want to talk. He tried again later but she had gone out. He had text her. He was ignored. He had rang her numerous times. He was ignored. He left about a thousand voicemails. He was ignored.

His last attempt was to go out and buy her a present to try and surprise her. He knew he had been out of order. He knew he was in the wrong and he was desperate to get his best friend back.

.

Tatia walked downstairs of the house and spotted Caroline in the kitchen. She surveyed her fiancées best friend before approaching her.

Caroline looked up in acknowledgment but said nothing and flicked her attention to whoever she was texting on the phone.

Tatia sighed.

"You're going to have to speak to him again at some point Caroline" she said softly.

Caroline didn't bother to look up but mumbled "not if I can help it".

Then Tatia went for it "do you really want to ruin what little time left you two have? We will be leaving for Paris pretty much after the wedding and when everything is sorted out back home".

"Paris?"

"Yes. Didn't Klaus tell you? We will be moving to Paris for my modelling career. It's only for a year but who knows we may grow to love it there and want to stay" Tatia replied with a non-committal shrug of the shoulders. She had tried to gauge a reaction out of Caroline but she kept a mask of neutrality plastered on her face.

"Oh. No he had not mentioned that to me" She replied "if you excuse me I have things to do" and Caroline walked away.

Rebekah cringed as soon as she read the text from Caroline. Looks like she had found out about the move to Paris. She pulled over to the side of the road to reply. She told her to find Klaus and speak to him about it all before she got upset but knowing Caroline a thousand thoughts would be flying through her head right now. She shook her head in frustration as her message wouldn't send. No signal. God she hated Mystic Falls sometimes. She chucked the phone on the empty seat next to her and began to start the car. With no such luck. She cursed her bad luck. Why on earth wouldn't it start. She got out and tried to look at the engine the only problem was she had no idea how to lift the bonnet of the car up.

She tried to start it again but with no such avail she jumped up when she heard the sound of another car approaching. She ran to the side of the road to try and wave them down and let out a slight noise of triumph when the car started to slow down. Her happiness however rapidly disappeared when she saw who exactly had come to her rescue.

"BONNIE! ARE YOU HERE?"

"SHHHH" Bonnie hushed to Kol.

"Bonnie?!"

"Are you ashamed of me darling?"

"yes"

Kol feigned a look of hurt and pouted "that really hurt"

Bonnie whispered in his ear seductively "I will be sure to make it up to you".

Kol groaned "I like the sound if that".

Bonnie's phone went off a message from Caroline. She turned it off and faced back to Kol who was tracing her neck with his lips.

When Klaus came home he was met with a group of very unhappy family members.

"What's going on?"

"Caroline's gone home to stop with her mom" Elijah replied.

Klaus looked at his mom for reassurance and she nodded.

"What? Why?! I'm gonna head over there right now"

"I am not sure that is the best idea Nik, she seemed pretty….I don't know emotionless? She found out about you moving to Paris and she just packed her stuff and said she was staying at Liz's until she goes back to New York".

"She found out about Paris? How?" Klaus's voice got louder and louder each time he spoke in panic.

"I told her, Nik" a soft voice said from behind him. He whipped around to see Tatia looking apologetic "I'm sorry, I thought she already knew".

He shook his head in disbelief "look I've got to see her" and without a glance back he rushed over to the Sheriffs house.

.

.

.

"Caroline! Please let me explain" he pleaded. He had gone straight to her mom's house and after banging on the door for what seemed like a lifetime Liz had answered the door and agreed to let him come in. Caroline had been giving him a pretty impressive 'I don't care what you have to say look' while he attempted to talk to her.

He practically pleaded with her until she gave in and spoke. "Do you not care about me anymore, Nik? You told everyone else but me? I had to hear about it from your fiancé for god's sake!"

"You think I didn't tell you because I don't care?" he asked incredulously "Caroline I didn't tell you because I care about you the most. I didn't know how to tell you that I was going to be…"

"Leaving me?" she interrupted him coldly "how could you not tell me?! How could you even think about LEAVING! I could never, ever leave you" her voice started breaking and the tears she had held in since she had heard the news started pouring out.

"And to make it even worse you have been acting like a complete dick the past few days. So not only are you leaving me you are ruining our last moments together! Do I mean so little to you!" she cried. Klaus immediately crushed her, enveloping his arms around her and stoking her hair. He kissed her forehead, her hair, the corners of her eyes and her cheeks if Caroline hadn't have been so angry and destroyed then her heart would have been fluttering at hundreds of miles per hour.

He moved her over to her bed where they both lay down. His arms were still around her as he surveyed the blonde beauty he called his best friend. He hated how upset he had made her. He was angry at how he could have even contemplated leaving her for a second. He couldn't go to Paris. He would not leave her.

"I'm sorry" he whispered.

Caroline turned to look at him, her hand stroking his arm slowly, once she had stopped crying she asked "why are you leaving?"

"I don't know. Tatia has a huge work deal their and she thought it would be easier for us to both move there as I can take my art anywhere and to live apart as a newly married couple is a bit weird"

Caroline nodded in understanding; she took a deep breath "Do you-do-Are you in love with her?"

"Yes" he breathed without a moment of hesitation.

"Then I guess I will have to get used to not seeing you every day" she replied sadly.

"But…"

"But nothing. You are happy, you have found the one and you need to do everything you can to make her just as happy."

"What am I going to have without you though" he asked unsure, his eyes on hers, drawing her in he slowly brought his hand to cup her face.

"You will have a great career, you will be living in an amazing city and you will have a family with the woman you are in love with"

He sighed dejectedly, his eyes looked downcast "I won't get to have you though, love".

"I didn't think you still wanted me after how you have been recently"

"I just…I know I am sorry. Just with everything going on the wedding, not telling you about Paris and then seeing you with Tyler I just felt….Jealous" he replied looking sheepish.

"Jealous?!"

Caroline's heart started racing, her mind went through an array of emotions and images.

"Crazy jealous".

"I was too" she took a deep breath "when I found out you were getting married" she stared deeply into his eyes, hoping to convey the message of how she truly felt.

"I guess it just hard when it has always been us two against the world and to see us just as close with other people it is hard and we will get jealous".

The glimmer of hope Caroline had vanished immediately. The anticipation she had felt died. She was left at feeling angry, upset and now stupid. Stupid to ever have thought even for a second he felt the same way. She tried to blink back the tears that were threatening to fall.

He pulled her in for a hug "Everything was so much easier when it was just me and you".

"But it's not. And it never will be again".
