Damn, Ain't it crazy when you're love swept?
You'll do anything for the one you love,
'Cause anytime that you needed me,
I'd be there,
It's like you were my favorite drug,
The only problem is,
That you were using me,
In a different way that I was using you,
But now that I know, it's not meant to be,
You gotta go, I gotta ween myself off of you

Chapter Eleven: "Kat"- Fight
Caroline walked up to Elena's front door, knocked, and waited for someone to answer. Elena opened the door smiling.
"Hey Care" Elena smiled "Come in" She said and stepped aside so Caroline could come inside
Caroline walked inside and hugged Elena, she was still trying to get used to being around people without wanting to rip their throats out, and hugging Elena was a start. She kept herself under control and pulled away from the hug and smiled back at Elena.
"Hey" Caroline smiled back"Oh is the food done yet? I'm starved, plus, Stefan said that food and alcohol really cut the cravings"
"Yeah, go on up to my room, I'll bring chips up there" Elena said
"Okay" Caroline said and happily walked up to Elena's room
Caroline sat there and waited for Elena. Elena came up there minutes later with chips for Caroline and she started eating them right away.
"So…how's Stefan?" Elena asked
"Fine" Caroline sighed "Listen Elena, I didn't mean for anything to happen. I swear that I-"
"Caroline, it's okay. I forgive you" Elena said "Stefan and I…we would have ended anyway. There were a lot of problems with that relationship" Elena sighed "Let's stick to happier topics"
"Okay" Caroline said "So…Jenna and Alaric? Are they a thing now? They seemed pretty happy down there with Mason"
"Yeah, they are, finally" Elena smiled
"Glad someone's having a good relationship" Caroline sighed and Elena nodded in agreement "Uh…you and Damon?"
"Friends" Elena said "Just friends"
"Whatever you say" Caroline smiled
"What?" Elena asked
"Nothing" She said "But…just think about it. Damon was a complete jackass when he came to Mystic Falls. Now, after spending time with you, when was the last time you heard of an actual murder around here?" Caroline asked
"…A while ago" Elena sighed
"See? You are the reason why Damon hasn't killed" Caroline said "Every time I've seen him, he's been drinking blood from the blood bank" Caroline smiled
"That's true" Elena said "But he's just a friend Care" Elena said
"Okay" Caroline smiled
Caroline and Elena were downstairs now, eating with Jenna, Alaric, Mason, and Damon who just happened to stop by. They finished eating desert and Elena suggested that since they weren't doing anything else, why not play charades?
"Oh! Uh! Puppy? Puppy with a tutu!" Caroline yelled out while trying to guess Damon's drawing
"Nope" Damon said
"Dances with wolves" Mason said
"Mason wins, again" Damon said
"No fair" Caroline pouted "That does not look like a wolf dancing"
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with Caroline on this one" Jenna said
"Okay, enough criticizing the artwork" Damon said and handed the marker to Alaric "Your turn to stump the master" Damon said and walked out to the kitchen
It had been a long day and Caroline was stuffed and a little tipsy while walking over to the Boarding House to go check on Stefan. Elena said she would stop by Caroline's house later, but right now she had to take care of a drunken Jenna since Damon got her completely wasted. Caroline walked right into the Boarding House and walked into the living room.
"Stefan?" Caroline said walking into the living room and there was no answer
Caroline sat down on the couch and saw Katherine's picture on the coffee table. She remembered that Katherine was here now. She thought that they couldn't be too much longer, and she was really to drunk to move again. So she put her feet up and fell asleep on the couch.
Caroline had no idea how long she was asleep, but she heard the front door open and she opened her eyes and saw Elena walking into the house.
"Elena, what are you doing here?" Caroline asked
"Oh god, Care, you passed out here?" Elena asked "I was looking for you"
"Yeah, sorry" Caroline yawned and sat up "Stefan's-"
"Well, well, well" A third voice popped in and Caroline recognized that it was Katherine's
"Katherine" Caroline said
"I told you to keep her occupied" Katherine hissed "You can't even do that"
"Caroline?" Elena asked
"I'm sorry Elena. She wanted me to keep you away from Stefan and…you weren't supposed to come here" Caroline sighed "She threatened to kill me"
"Threat? Oh no dear Caroline" Katherine said with a smirk "You failed to keep her away. That's not just a threat anymore" Katherine said and walked towards Caroline "I was telling you that I am going to kill you"
And in the blink of an eye, Katherine was pouncing on Caroline and Caroline and Katherine were a blur. Stefan came out from the basement from where he was with Katherine and saw Caroline and Katherine fighting. He looked over at Elena who was starring wide eyed and scarred of the entire thing going on.
"Elena, run, go find Damon" Stefan said
Elena nodded and ran out of the house and got into her car to go find where Damon could be. Stefan ran towards the fight and broke apart Katherine and Caroline.
"Stop!" Stefan hissed and pulled Katherine off of Caroline
Katherine glared at Stefan and before Stefan could say another thing, took off out of the house. Stefan looked over at Caroline and she looked terrible. Katherine managed to cover her in claw marks and bite marks and she was bleeding and healing slowly.
"I think she broke my arm" Caroline said and it came out as a whisper
"Come on" Stefan sighed and scooped up Caroline and laid her down on the couch "I'll take care of you" He said and ran into the kitchen and got Caroline a glass of blood and ran back into the living room and started slowly giving the blood to her
Caroline slowly drank the blood until Stefan took the glass away and sat her up more so she was more comfortable.
"Thank you" Caroline mumbled and was barely able to keep her eyes open
"You did good, standing up to Katherine" Stefan said
"Good" Caroline mumbled
"I'm sorry I wasn't there…to protect you…like I promised" Stefan said and Caroline heard sadness in his voice and he looked away from her
"No crying" Caroline said and lifted up her arm and reached for Stefan and he grabbed her hand and kissed it and Caroline smiled a little bit
"Your gonna be okay Care, your healing up, you just need more blood and some rest" Stefan said and blinked a few times to hold back tears and keep being the big strong guy which made Caroline smile
Stefan gave Caroline the rest of the blood and all her wounds healed up.
"Get some rest Care" Stefan said and kissed her forehead
"Okay" Caroline said quietly and closed her eyes
