Alternate Reality!

7:04 a.m.

Damon sighed in contentment, as the warm water hit his aching cold skin. Damon couldn't go to sleep after everything that had happened earlier this night. He simply stood under the water that poured from above him, taking in the slight moment of pure peace.

Peace.

Peace was one thing Damon certainly didn't have. As much as he tried, he couldn't help but have his thoughts wander off as they continuously brought him into thinking about Caroline and all that had happened. Caroline. The woman that loved him. She loved him, and he broke her heart.

He sighed in frustration as he looked down at his hand that was wrapped around a plastic sheet, the cast fully protected from the dripping water. He didn't know what to do. He wasn't a vampire. She wasn't a vampire. They were human. All of this; Evangeline, Stefan and Bonnie, this life... It wasn't real to Damon. But, it was to Caroline. She loved him. And he didn't know how to feel about that. He felt clueless, confused, and irritated.

Did he love her? Could he love her? Simple, yet such complicated questions running through his mind constantly, along with one famous question... What about Elena?

Elena. Back in the world of vampires and his reality, Elena was his love. His true love. And the fact that this world was completely different, it confused Damon to the fullest. He didn't know how to feel or do anything without hurting anyone. Taking Caroline as an example. He hurt her. The bruises, the heart ache, all of it. But never would he dream of hurting her intentionally.

Why'd he kiss Elena? He had no idea why. He just did. It may have been out of frustration. It may have been the fact that he had been missing the way things used to be... The right reality. His reality.

Damon chuckled bitterly at himself for being so naive. He may continuously try to convince himself that he had kissed Elena out of confusion, or frustration. And it was the truth. He did kiss Elena out of confusion and frustration, but not for what he believed. It's not that he was missing the real world, or that he 'missed' Elena... He had kissed Elena because of Caroline.

He was confused and frustrated over Caroline. Everything that was occurring in this world was curiously bringing Caroline and himself closer. Too close. It confused Damon, his feelings frustrated him. He didn't know what he wanted. But most of all, it scared Damon. All of it.

So he wasn't going to face it. Face his feelings, his heart, any of it. He was going to do what he did best... Run. He couldn't answer the question that bugged him every step of the way. That is from the day he woke up next to Caroline to face this fine dimension...

Who did he love?

"What had happened...?"

Bonnie's eyes softened at the cracking voice that flew from the mouth of a very scared and worried Stefan Salvatore.

Bonnie glanced down at her swollen stomach, her mind wandering to everything that she had seen. Everything she had said. The supernatural. The twisted plot. All in all, a whole new world.

Bonnie glanced up at Stefan, as she clenched her jaw, "I have no idea," she lied.

Stefan nodded with uncertainty. His brows knitted in concern as he grabbed hold of his wife's hand, bringing her attention towards him again. He smiled slightly, "Well, I'm just glad that you and our baby are alright..."

Bonnie smiling warmly, her voice cracking as her throat ached, "I love you."

Stefan returned the smile, his eyes gleaming at her words, "I love you too."

Stefan leaned forward kissing his wife's forehead as she lay on the hospital bed. Bonnie sighing at his gesture. Bonnie could smell his scent as he hovered over her, she smiled slightly at the warmth that came off of him. She needed this. His presence.

"Lay with me?" Bonnie asked, the desperate tone clearly showing.

Stefan licked his dry lips as he looked down at his exhausted wife. He nodded slowly before climbing onto the petite hospital bed along with Bonnie. Both lay snuggled into each other, both enjoying the moment that they both needed.

Stefan kissed Bonnie's forehead once again, as he rest his chin on her head, wrapping his hand around Bonnie. Both laying in silence, before Stefan broke it.

"I thought I had lost you..."

Bonnie's heart sank at the fear and sadness that came from Stefan's voice, she snuggled further into him before she spoke up. Her own voice as quiet as ever, "But you didn't..."

Stefan nodded, only to have Bonnie continue, "I'm here."

Stefan smiled slightly, sighing, "Your here."

And with that, Bonnie's eyes drifted closed as she tried to capture sleep. But that was no help, as flashbacks towards everything that had happened continuously went through her mind.

As much as Bonnie tried, she couldn't shake this feeling that everything was wrong. One thing was for sure. She had to speak with Damon and Caroline. Her own questions needed to be answered, and she was sure they were just as confused as her.

7:46 a.m.

Damon entered their room. His eyes small as bags formed under his eyes from the lack of sleep. His hair wet as he had simply came out from the shower, along with a pair of jeans and a classic black v-neck.

His eyes wandered the room, before drifting off to the bed, their bed, where Caroline lay sound asleep.

Expressionless, Damon eyed the sleeping form of the blonde. His eyes fixed at her forearms.

Damon's eyes shot up at that, his anger taking the better of him as he reached for Caroline, grabbing her tightly by the forearms pulling her, causing her to crash against his body, as he practically sneered in her face.

Caroline whimpered at the sudden pain that arose from her forearms, caused by Damon's grip.

Damon shuddered at the memory of Caroline's pained whimper. The pain he had caused her.

Slowly making his way to the side of the bed, Damon glanced towards Caroline's face once more before pulling up the blanket that lay at her waist to her chin. Surrounding her with warmth. He watched as she moved under the blanket clutching at it tightly. His icy orbs trailed over her facial features. His jaw clenched. This was his fault, and he surprisingly wanted to fix it. Fix her. Fix himself. Fix them...

12:09 p.m.

Caroline couldn't come across the courage of opening her eyes. She didn't know what she was going to face. Was it the real world or was it the particular morning where she woke up next to Damon, facing a new and beautiful reality. She just couldn't find the courage to reveal her mesmerizing blue orbs to the world before her.

One thing was for sure, she felt great-better than before that is. She felt warm and relaxed. Not cold and numb. She could actually feel her heart beating again. Almost as if everything was back to normal...

Well that's just it. Nothing was normal.

Caroline sighed internally before slowly sliding her eyelids open to be faced with a familiar pair of eyes staring back at her. She smiled with all energy she could muster as she looked back at the tiny blonde that sat at the other side of the bed, smiling back.

"H-Hey sweetie..." Caroline breathed out in a faint cheery expression, as she pulled herself into a sitting position on the bed.

"Are you feeling better mommy?"

Caroline's eyes softened at the cute worried expression that came from Evangeline, "Never better..."

Evangeline nodded her head in disagreement, causing Caroline's brows to furrow, "No your not mommy, your not 'better'..."

Caroline was taken back from the way Evangeline was able to see right through her. She was such a smart girl. She was her smart girl. Their smart girl.

Caroline forced a smile upon her lips, "Well aren't you a sneaky little girl..."

Evangeline's brows furrowed as her confusion took over at the fact that Caroline was changing the subject. Caroline chuckled lightly at the confused blonde before her, "Throwing that anniversary party with Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Stefan, big move..."

Evangeline grinned, shrugging, "I just wanted daddy and you to have the bestest time!"

Caroline's smile faltered slightly as the word 'daddy' slipped through Evangeline's mouth. Best time? That's something no one exactly received.

Caroline glanced towards Evangeline, forcing her smile again, as she took hold of her daughter, picking her up so that she was now on her lap.

"Daddy and I definitely had the bestest time!" Caroline exclaimed in the most enthusiasm she could muster, as she nuzzled her nose with Evangeline's causing the little girl to giggle.

Evangeline wrapped her arms around Caroline's neck, catching Caroline off guard. Smiling warmly, Caroline hugged her daughter back. Both sharing a tight hug.

"I love you mommy."

Caroline sighed, pulling away from Evangeline, as she kissed Evangeline's forehead, "I love you too sweetheart..."

Evangeline grinned, kissing her mother on the cheek before rapidly moving off the bed, leaving a confused Caroline behind.

"Where you going?" Caroline called after her, a chuckle escaping her as she did so.

Caroline heard nothing from the 5 year old as she continued to run out of the bedroom. Caroline got off the bed as well, wobbling at first but regaining her balance almost immediately as she peaked at the door that Evangeline had just ran through.

"You can't run for long, I'll-"

Caroline stopped mid-sentence as her smile faltered slightly at the sight of him leaning against the door frame of their bedroom. The door of which Evangeline had run out from.

Memory of everything flashed through her eyes as she watched him blankly. She simply stood straight, frozen. She eyed his features, he looked exhausted. His eyes small and red from the lack of sleep as his lips stretched out into a tired grin. The grin not meeting his cold blue eyes, as he stared at her frozen figure.

"You'll what, chase after her?" Damon asked as the tired grin seemed to grow, as he continued to stare at her.

Caroline shuddered at his voice, her brows knitting together as she tried to process the fact that Damon was talking to her like nothing had happened. She simply said nothing as she continued to retrieve a blank expression. Damon only continued as he stepped into the room, a few feet away from her. Even when he walked his feet dragged across the floor sleepily.

"It's not like you can exactly run after her... You were wobbling when you tried walking the first time... Which was what? 5 or 6 hours ago?"

Caroline couldn't believe him. How may he simply act as if everything was fine! That they were fine?...

She didn't say anything as she slowly walked towards the closet, coming across her clothing. She glanced down at her body as she noticed she was still in her blue dress from last night, she sighed as she looked at the wrinkled piece of clothing that she currently wore. Scowling slightly, Caroline looked through the closet, as Damon's words continuously flew through her brain.

She was fine. Completely fine. Even if she wasn't fine, she would never ask him for help. Never. Not that she isn't fine. Ugh. She was fine!

Damon watched in amusement as he looked at the blonde clumsily look through the closet, as she continuously muttered something under her breath. Something Damon couldn't exactly catch. Gosh, sometimes he missed being a vampire. His grin flew as he noticed her wobbling slightly. He may not want to admit it, but she wasn't fine. They weren't fine.

Damon's heart sank as reality struck and he remembered everything that he had caused between them. One thing was for sure, she needed to know he was sorry. He didn't mean what he had said, what he had done. Plus the fact that she clearly wanted nothing to do with him was irritating him like hell. He didn't know why it did irritate him. But it did.

He neared the clueless blonde until he was a few paces behind her, his voice cracked slightly as he began to speak, "Caroline..."

He watched as she froze at her name. This just made Damon gulp so hard that the feeling felt almost throat-tearing. Sighing, he continued, "About last night... What I said... What I did..."

Damon couldn't find the words to his sentence as he tried to figure out a possible way he could say sorry.

His hesitation caused Caroline to turn around slightly, as she looked at him in confusion, fear, and sadness all at the same time. This only made Damon's guilt grow, as he stared into her now dull eyes. The same eyes that used to have this spark, which no longer was there. Her eyes.

Damon sighed again, huffing in a breath, as he spoke slowly...

"I'm so sorry."

Oh, no... is Caroline going to forgive Damon? (I doubt it)

So? How'd you like it?
