Hey guys, short chapter for you today. I was in a really good mood, as my favorite essay came up in my History exam, so I decided to update this. By the way I have a new fanfiction idea- Pride and Prejudice with Klaus as Mr. Darcy and Caroline as Elizabeth. What do we think? Yes? No? Maybe? Also if it's already been done could someone give me a shout? If not, and you like the idea I'll get started straight away. :)
Chapter 10
"You've been in love with two people at the same time. Help me"
Elena looked confused. "Two people at the same time? Tyler and who?"
Caroline just looked at her until she understood.
Elena gasped. "Klaus? You're in love with KLAUS?" She yelled
Caroline hushed her. "Will you shut it? I don't know. Maybe."
Elena opened and closed her mouth several times. She couldn't figure out what to say.
"Have you completely lost you mind? Caroline, after all he's done, all the people he's hurt, He murdered Tyler's mom, for crying out loud!"
"Damon killed Jeremy! And Lexi and Stefan's uncle Zach, not to mention all the things he did to me. Is he any better than Klaus, Elena?"
Elena sighed. "At least Damon is ashamed! You know he is sorry for what he did to you, even if he never said it. And what about Tyler, Care? It's not like he'll understand if you chose Klaus over him. You'll make an enemy out of him"
Caroline laid her head back on the chair. "I know. But I can't lie to myself anymore 'Lena. I feel something for him, even if I still love Tyler." Elena got up to leave, feeling slightly disgusted with her best friend.
"At least I think I still love Tyler." Caroline whispered to herself.
"Marcel and his groupies think that Caroline is you, so whenever we are blessed with his company, you're Caroline, is that understood, sweetheart?" Klaus said, his eyes narrowing as Hayley groaned. Klaus smirked. "And you'd better wear some more layers; we don't want him hearing the second heartbeat, now do we?"
Hayley rolled her eyes and caught Tyler's eye. She smiled tentatively but it quickly left her face as his eyes filled with the hate she knew she deserved.
They all knew now, about her, about what had happened. They all judged her all the more, Tyler especially. If there was one person on this earth who she didn't want to find out it was him. Though, she could have done without Damon and all his sly comments.
Caroline entered the room, and her already bad mood worsened. Sweet, blonde Caroline, who could do no wrong. It annoyed her all the more when Tyler immediately looked up. She also noticed how Klaus's eyes followed her around the room. What was it with this girl?
"I mean she thinks that just because we all forgave you, we all have to forgive Klaus? I mean seriously she throws that in my face, even bringing up Jeremy! How could she, has she lost her mind?"
Damon laughed to himself, as Elena ranted on about the Barbie's crush. Damn, she was adorable when she was annoyed. And didn't it feel good, that he didn't have to feel guilty for thinking that. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. Elena sighed and rested her head on his shoulder.
"At least you're remorseful." Damon scoffed at the statement. Elena grinned. "Sort of."
Damon looked thoughtful. He felt that he owed Klaus for saving his neck, and if the only way he could pay him back was by helping him get into Blondie's pants, then so be it.
"If we're counting sort ofs, Klaus is sort of remorseful too."
Elena looked up shocked. "What do you mean?"
"When Stefan locked me up, and Klaus was babysitting me he asked me what it was, I said to you that made you forgive me. I know that he was looking for a way to redeem himself for Caroline." Elena groaned. "Not you too."
"Look I'm not saying we shouldn't be scared of the big bad wolf anymore, but I think it would be a little hypocritical for everyone to forgive and forget everything I've done and not give him a second chance when he asks for it." Elena was conflicted. Damon made sense in a way, but she couldn't help but feel that Klaus would hurt Caroline. Damon knew what she was thinking. "I hurt Caroline once too. And you have to admit, all he's done is shower her with jewels." Elena nodded. "You still haven't apologized to her by the way." Damon rolled his eyes. "Yeah and that's one conversation I'm eagerly awaiting. Maybe in a century or so."
Caroline walked into the filthy back to the Movie Theater. There were a few rusted tables and chairs amongst the piles of rubbish and grime. She picked the least grubby one and sat down.
"You shouldn't be out here alone." said Tyler from behind her. He smiled sadly. "Isn't being outside alone how you usually get into trouble?"
Caroline chuckled quietly before lapsing back into silence.
Tyler sat down across from her. "Care, I'm sorry."
Caroline looked up, shocked. Tyler was never one to admit he was wrong. "I know I was a jerk. I was home, I was with you, I had nothing to complain about. I shouldn't have been the way I was."
Caroline sighed. "But you were Tyler."
"Care, I knew I was only back because he said I could. You know how that feels? To only be allowed back home because your enemy said he doesn't feel like killing you anymore?"
"I know Tyler, you know that I understand! But why did you take it out on me? You're pushing me out Ty!" She stood up running her hands through her hair. "Don't push me out." She whispered defeated.
Tyler leaned his head into his hands and then looked up at her. "I'm too late Care. I have pushed you out. And what's worse I did exactly what he wanted. I pushed you into his arms."
Sorry again for the short chapter, I'll do a longer one this weekend. Also If any of you speak french, YourDreams has done a french translation of this story.
