I know things get hard, but girl you got it, there you go

Can't you tell by how they looking at you everywhere you go,

Wondering what's on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine,

When all these mother f*ckas wanna waste your time

Chapter 10

Caroline wasn't surprised by the lack of Klaus in the room, but she was surprised by the glass of water, advil and note on her nightstand. Groggily, she turned over in her queen size bed and reached for the paper. Squinting, Caroline barely managed to read what Klaus had written. Her head hurt like hell and she just needed sleep and coffee.

"Caroline, last night was amazing. I had to run some errands and talk to my siblings, but don't take it the wrong way. We should go out for dinner some time. Klaus."

Klaus had also written his number down. Caroline genuinely smiled, a rare sight to see. Maybe she had finally found the right man for her. She finally found someone who seemed to care, and she felt a connection to him.

Caroline sat up in bed, pulling the covers up higher to cover her naked body. Slowly, she swung her feet over the side of the bed. Reaching for the pills and water, she downed them and got up, taking the comforter with her to the bathroom.

After having showered, Caroline had dressed in a baggy tie dye tshirt and grey sweatpants with "CHEER" written on her bum. Her hangover had finally gone away (thanks, hybrid abilities) and it was her Sunday afternoon. She wasn't about to wear anything fancy. "Seriously!" Caroline exclaimed as she tried calling Rebekah for about the fifth time that day. She needed girl time to talk about Klaus, her amazing one night stand that wanted to take her to dinner, and she was pretty sure Elena and Bonnie were still mad about the whole compulsion thing. She didn't even have a choice, though! Elena would've run away, and her idiotic human arse would've gotten killed! Caroline sighed. She was bored, and didn't want to do her homework. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She'd try apologizing to Elena and Bonnie and maybe have some girl time with them?

Caroline dialed Elena's number, and patiently waited, tapping her foot. After about 4 rings, Elena answered. "What." Elena snapped. She was clearly still pissed. "Hey, Elena… I'm really sorry. I thought we could maybe have some girl time? Catch up on things?" Caroline said, nervous. She could hear Bonnie in the background, but couldn't make out what she was saying. "Caroline, we don't really want to talk to you. Or see you. Or hear you. So can you please just leave us alone for now?" Elena asked, a bitterness in her tone, followed by the dial tone. Caroline growled and tossed her phone back into her black Prada bag.

Caroline parked her car with a screech in the Grill's parking lot, not noticing she had been followed. She got out, slammed the car door and stormed inside. She was really irritated and just wanted to get drunk. How dare Elena speak to her like that? Caroline could snap her neck with a flick of her wrist. She saved Elena's life! Bonnie too! Caroline totally ignored Matt's greeting and sat down on the bar stool, close to murdering someone. "Matt, vodka." She growled. Matt moved quickly, bringing a shot glass and a bottle of Grey Goose. He poured the vodka into Caroline's glass as quickly as he could, knowing how dangerous an angry werewolf could be. Caroline downed the shot inhumanely fast, and reached for the bottle, plucking it out of Matt's hands. Matt sighed, rubbing his hand over his face, before moving to take orders.

Caroline placed the empty vodka bottle next to the other one she had just finished. She felt drunk, but not drunk enough. She ordered a martini with more hard alcohol than necessary, and leaned back in the booth. After being close to falling off the stool several times, Matt had half dragged half carried her to a booth. He knew the fall wouldn't hurt her, but he didn't want to have to explain how her cracked head would magically heal. Caroline closed her eyes for a few seconds. Her senses were so screwed from the alcohol, she didn't smell the vampires approaching her until one sat across from her in the booth. Caroline growled, not opening her eyes. "Who is it?" she spat out, lying down in the booth. "I'm Thierry, sweetie." The man said, smirking. He couldn't believe Klaus had fallen for this vampire girl. She looked like a baby vamp, drunk out of her mind and left unprotected in a bar. Caroline opened her eyes, examining the man in front of her. She dismissed him as human and laid back down on the booth chair, falling asleep. Thierry signalled for his men to pick her up. He was going to have some fun with Klaus' girl.

As Thierry and his men were leaving the bar, he got his phone out and was about to tell Marcel that they had found Klaus' girl, when a blond blur whooshed towards them. The blur knocked all of them out, snapping their necks. Thierry got away, while Klaus was distracted with Caroline. Klaus caught Caroline as she fell to the floor. She reeked of alcohol, and probably wouldn't remember any of this in the morning, as she was asleep. He placed a soft kiss to her forehead, rising with her in his arms. "This is why you're not safe with me, love." He mumbled, putting her in his car.
