I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES
A/N: Hallo guys. How are you doing? I would like to thank you guys for reading and the awesome reviews! It really means A LOT! I love you all guys. Here is chap 9. I hope you like it.
Here we go.
Caroline's POV
When I arrived home after I broke down at 'the garden', I took a warm shower. I wanted to cheer myself up, so I decided to wear my favorite dress. It was a very expensive dress, made by one of the most successful designers in the world.
It was white and had spaghetti straps. It had a low décolleté, so I wore my white jacket over it. Call me crazy to wear something SO expensive in a hospital. But to tell you the truth, I needed this cheering up after the disaster from earlier today.
The dress flowed nicely over my body and the length was lower than my knees. I wore my favorite black pumps and my make- up was natural. I wore my hair in a messy bun, because I was too tired to straighten or curl it.
I told my mom where I was going and went out the front door. I really should prepare myself in case Tyler was going to be there too. When I got home, I called Bonnie and Kath to give them a piece of my mind! I told them that they made things worse by forcing us to be alone.
They apologized over and over again. Apparently Tyler called the girls also to scold them. They promised to never interfere again when it came to us. I was glad about that, because I don't think I could handle more of that.
While driving to the hospital, my assistant called me and texted me a dozen times. I know he was exaggerating; telling me that my new clothing line will be awful without me being there. I just laughed it off. My employees could really act all dramatic if they wanted to. But I trust them a hundred pro cent. Lol!
The moment I arrived at the hospital, I felt that something was up. I walked into the hall way and captured Tyler's emotions. The closer I got, the more intense it got for me. I saw Bonnie and Kath in the hall way. They were crying, so I ran towards them.
When I got to them, they said that Matt's condition had worsened. The doctors aren't sure, if he was going to make it. The second I heard that, I broke down in tears. My knees gave up and I sank to the floor. They said Tyler was inside now, saying goodbye. The girls tried to help me up, but I didn't have the strength.
I was still on the floor, tears falling uncontrollably down my cheeks when I felt two strong arms around me. I looked up and I saw Tyler. His eyes were red and swollen from the tears. We were alone in the hall way; Bonnie and Kath were inside Matt's room now.
I looked him in the eyes and said:"I cannot lose him, Tyler. I can't and I won't. I will not say goodbye to him. I won't, he is too young and too full of life to die. I won't accept it. I won't."He just shook his head and held me tighter.
The feeling of his arms around me was incredible. God, I missed his warm arms around me. I never wanted him to let me go. My tears kept flowing and I did my very best not to glow! Tyler's, Bonnies and Kath's emotions were so overwhelming.
We were still on the hospital floor, so after a while Tyler asked me to come and sit on the chairs. He guided me to the chairs and we sat next to each other. I closed my eyes and sighed."Do you think you are able to see him? Should I go with you?" He asked with a concerned tone in his voice.
I shook my head and said:" Yes, I can go by myself. You don't have to come with me." He looked disappointed, but nodded." You just have to say the word if it gets too rough, I will be right here. Okay?" He said firmly. I looked at him and said:" Okay." I was glad that he offered to go with me.
I decided just a couple of minutes ago to help Matt. Tyler or anyone else didn't need to see it. Finally Bonnie and Kath came out of the room, so I immediately got up and went inside. Before I went in, I told the others that I needed to be alone with him. They promised that they will make sure nobody was going to disturb me.
The moment I went inside, I was HIT by Matt's emotions. I didn't think twice and didn't even want to think about the possible consequences. Matt needed my help, so me being 'what' I am. I can't help, but to make it better for him. I needed to help my friend. So I did.
It took all of my concentration not to glow. I grabbed the box out of my handbag and opened it. I stood in front of Matt, I closed my eyes and concentrated what needed to happen. Then I opened my eyes and blew something in his face. He suddenly was coughing very hard!
I ran out of the room, calling for help. The nurses came and went to check on Matt. They asked us to give them room to work, so we decided to wait down stairs. All four of us walked silently to the elevator. We looked like we have been beaten by life.
I was the only one who knew that Matt would be okay. Inside I was smiling, happy that it worked.
Tyler's POV
All four of us were walking out of the elevator with no hope that Matt was going to recover. I wanted to tell Caroline that I went after her, when she ran out on me during our picnic and that I tried to follow her. But I was cut off by some drunk driver, so I lost her. But this was certainly not the time to talk about it.
We sat on the chairs with sad faces. I don't know why, but I had to think of that day.
*FLASHBACK*
We were having lunch at school. It was right after that summer, Caroline and I spent ALL of our time together. We both were 16. Matt just got home from vacation and asked me what I was thinking about. Because I was staring at a particular blonde girl who was talking and laughing with Bonnie and Kath.
I told him that I was just thinking about the football game, but he saw right through me. "If you are in love with her, you should tell her." He said with a serious tone in his voice. He wasn't teasing or making fun of me. He was dead serious.
"What are you talking about, man?"I began, but he interrupted me and said: "Time is precious and life is short. Go and walk to her and tell her that you love her, before it is too late." He patted me on my shoulder and motioned me to go tell her.
"I am afraid, man. What if she doesn't feel the same way? What will I do then?" I asked with a shaky voice. "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you have told her how you feel about her.
If she doesn't feel the same way, then sorry. But if she does feel the same, you will be a very lucky guy." He said firmly. I was scared to death to take that risk, so I just kept staring at her. I got a text, it was from Kath and it said: "Take a picture, it lasts longer."
I sighed and walked away. She also noticed that I had feelings for Caroline and had been nagging me for days to go and tell Caroline. But I refused every time. Later that evening we were planning to go to a party. I was with Matt in my car and Bonnie, Kath and Caroline were going to meet us there.
I was drinking a coke, when I saw her walk in with the girls. She looked incredible. She was wearing a red top and black jeans, that was hugging her every curve at the right places. She wore red high heels and her hair was down in big curls.
Her pendant locket made her outfit complete. She definitely was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was not only a pretty face though; she was the sweetest and kindest person I know. She was compassionate and always helped people who needed it.
Even if it was a stranger, she would move heaven and earth to help. If she was able, she will do it. No questions asked. They walked over to us and she said hi to me. I said hey and suddenly Matt and the others left her and me alone.
I saw that Bonnie was looking back at me and winked at me. She mouthed:"Tell her how you feel." I was so nervous, that my body was shaking. I was about to tell her, when the guys from the football team dragged me away from her.
Man, I wanted to strangle each and every one of them! After a long while, I finally freed myself from them and searched for Caroline. I saw her talking with some guy, who clearly was hitting on her. But she looked uninterested, but was too nice to say that in his face.
I shook my head and walked away. Matt saw that I was drinking and that I was staring at her again. He stood next to me and told me to tell her. I said that she was with someone. He laughed at me and asked if that has ever stopped me before.
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I am so going to regret this! I thought and walked towards her. They were facing each other, so I said :"Excuse me." She turned and when she saw me, she smiled and said:"Yes?" That smile of hers, took my breath away and made my heart almost skip a beat. What I was about to do, terrified me. I was afraid that she would slap me or something worse, but I took the risk anyway.
Without thinking hard about it, I leaned in. I closed my eyes and captured her lips with mine. Those lips of hers on mine, felt like FIREWORK! They tasted like heaven. She was surprised, but did kiss me back. The cup in her hand fell to the ground, so she could wrap her hands around the back of my neck bringing us closer to each other.
One of my hands was cupping her face, while the other was in her hair. I inhaled her scent, making my head spin. I didn't want the kiss to end, but we had to break the kiss for air. When we did, I looked her in her beautiful ocean blue eyes and said:" I am deeply in love with you, Caroline."
She smiled at me and said:" Thank God! Because I am hopelessly in love with you." We both smiled widely, closed our eyes and let our foreheads touch. Apparently people were whooping and clapping, but we were too lost in each other to notice.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
The next day Kath told us they all had been clapping and whooping. That was one of the best nights of my life. Matt encouraged me to say what was in my heart and I did. Matt. It cannot be. I can't lose him, he means TOO much to me.
I regret that I hadn't visited him in 5 years. I felt very guilty, because now that I am here today I hear that he might not make it. I was at the end of my rope and let the tears flow. Matt, my best friend. Why did this have to happen to him?
A/N again: Hey guys. This was chapter 9. Did you like it? What did Caroline do? And what exactly will happen to Matt?
Please review and tell me what you think.
Thank you. Have a good day!
