Thanks for all the great reviews, they're really sweet. Now I'm not sure how long this fic will be. I had intended it to be short n' sweet but somehow I always seem to make them long, so if you could let me know what you think about that, let me know…
Today is going to be a good day. I didn't get much sleep last night but whatever. I'm still going to have a great day, a really great day…
"Caroline!" called Liz up the stairs, "You're going to be late for school!"
What? But it's only…Shit! It's 7:46. How did I manage to sleep-in when I didn't even sleep?
Caroline rushed around the house putting her Vampire speed to good use and then ran out the door.
Halfway down the road the car broke down. Hitting the steering wheel, Caroline shouted angrily. "Why is this happening?!"
Resting her forehead on her hands on the steering wheel, Caroline thought about what Rebekah had said the night before: You know how to live your normal life…You need to learn to leap without looking, to live your life to the full.
Rebekah was right. She did need to let loose. Who cares if she misses a day, she could repeat in another 20 years if she wanted to. The world was at her fingertips, hers for the taking. Now all she had to do was take it.
Caroline took out her cell-phone and dialled Rebekah's number. The other girl picked up; "You're late", "I'm not going to school today".
"Oh…and what's brought this on?" "I'm taking your advice. I'm living life to the full". "Well I'm glad you're listening to me for a change", "Well you can listen to me by coming with".
"Really? Where to?" asked Rebekah curious. "Anywhere you want. It's just you and me". There was silence "Rebekah? Are you still there?"
Caroline started to panic, what if Elena has told Klaus. What if something's happened to her? "Rebekah! Are you…"
Caroline was cut off by a tap at her car-door window. She sighed relieved to see Rebekah standing outside.
Stepping out of the car, she complained, "Don't ever do that! I thought maybe Klaus had gotten to you!" Rebekah giggled, "What?!" demanded Caroline.
"Nothing. It's just you're so cute the way you worry about me". Caroline frowned, "I'm not cute" Rebekah rubbed Caroline's cheek, "Yes, you are" and then she kissed her gently.
When she pulled out again, Caroline was trying to hide her smile. "Anyway, where are we going to go on this little adventure?" Caroline leaned against the car, "New Orleans?" Rebekah smiled, "Let's get going so!"
"Mmkay" replied Caroline. Rebekah looked at the shorter blonde concerned, "What's wrong?" "I want another kiss…" Rebekah rolled her eyes, and Caroline smiled an adorable smile tapping her lips.
"How can I refuse you?" asked Rebekah taking Caroline in her arms and kissing her, causing Caroline's face to melt in her hands. This is going to be fun…
Short enough but better than nothing, right?
