"Elena" a voice shouted me, "Elena" the voice woke me from my sleep, I was still in Damon's arms while he was still sleeping. Strange I thought the voice would have woken him first, I got off the bed and walked towards the voice I couldn't see anything my room was pitch black at least I think it was my room, "Elena, come here" I walked carefully trying not to make any noise I was scared, the voice sounded like Stefan. Was he here? Had he come back for revenge? "Elena" the voice came from behind me and made me turn to see him.
I turned to find and light shining on Damon, like it was from heaven he was sleeping so peacefully. That's when I saw him standing over Damon with a stake in his hand now I was really scared fearing for Damon's life, Stefan's hand rose above his head "NOOO! DAMON! WAKE UP! NOOO!" Damon's eyes opened but it was too late, Stefan drove the stake into Damon's heart, Damon looked at me "Elena" was the only word he said "NOO! DAMON!" I began running and running but Damon seemed so far away like he was moving forward with me. Stefan was alot faster then me and grabbed me...
I shot up on my bed sweaty like and loss of breath, thank God it was just a dream and not reality. My heart was racing the dream felt so real I hadn't realised yet that Damon had gone, I felt a little worried knowing he wasn't beside me but it was light outside I looked over at my clock to see it was 6:28 knowing it would go off in 2 minutes I switched it off. I grabbed my phone, going to text Damon when I realised I had a text. It was from Damon and I opened it 'Hey, just left knowing you would be getting up soon, so I decided to leave so you could go to school as I'm busy myself. I will see you after school Damon xxx' I didn't realise this was going to effect me as much as it has I thought that with Damon there for support it would be alot easier, but I cant escape Stefan if its not by reality it gets to me in my dreams. I got up and went towards the bathroom and did my usual routine brush teeth, do hair, shot on make up and get ready. I headed towards the kitchen to spot Alaric and Jenna in there too, 'Please not a replay of the scene of last night' I thought to myself while I walked into the kitchen, I sat next to Alaric at the counter while Jenna made pancakes as usual, Jenna spun round and was beaming with happiness I studied her face, what had made her so happy? Well the only thing I could think of was the person sat next to me "Elena! Want breakfast?" she said to me while she set down Alaric's breakfast, wow she was too excited, I shot a glance at Alaric as he was staring at me when his eyes moved quickly towards Jenna and back which made me look at her, I looked down at her hand thinking he may have proposed but he hadn't "I'll leave you two to it" Alaric walked out of the kitchen not caring to look towards him I leaned closer on the counter towards Jenna "What's he done?" Jenna leaned closer towards me "he told me he loved me" she couldn't stop smiling she was too happy, I knew he loved her and knew she loved him back "Oh my God Jen, that's wonderful" I was so pleased for her, it's had been awhile since she had someone who cared for her and I knew Alaric was the man for her, "I know, I care about him alot it just meant everything to me to know he feels the same, so anyway breakfast" I stood up and walked towards the fruit bowl and picked up a shiny green apple "Got it, I'm off bye"
"See you later" I walked out the door and headed towards my car, the days had dragged so long it felt like forever since I had drove to school, I turned on the radio and listened to music on the way today was going to be so easy without worrying about Stefan hurting me or something else. I parked in an empty space at school and got out the car, school was busy always too busy for me, I would soon stay at home or in the cemetery with my Journal or even with Damon, but if you want a future in the world school is one of the places to get it.
"Elena hey" Caroline came towards me with Matts arm around her shoulder, I was glad the Matt had finially got over me and moved on with Caroline didn't look right she seemed worried about something. "Hey guys, Caroline con we talk in private for a moment?" Matt looked at me blankly while Carol looked worried "Erm, sure" she walked out of Matt's arm and near my car she looked so lost like something was troubling her "Whats wrong?" She didn't meet my gaze and looked at the ground I knew there was something up with her because Caroline was the most cheerul one out of us all "It's Tyler, h-he has said something to me, I cant talk about this were Matt is" Tyler? What could he possibly said to make her upset, I wanted to push the matter but if she couldn't do this near Matt I would have to wait "Okay, want to come to mine after school?" She finally found the strenght to lift her head and look at me like if I just read her mind or something "really? I mean that would be great, I mean I dont know what to do" she gave me a hug and whispered 'thank you' in my ear then turned and walked as Matt out his arms around her again, the bell went and we all headed for our lessons.
The day flew by it was 3:00 and the bell had just gone, history wasn't that exciting but it was better to be back to normal without being scared, I headed towards the doors remembering how confised Caroline looked this morning and was in need of some girl time. I headed out the double doors surviving the stamped through them. I saw her stood by my car on her own gripping on the straps of her handbag which was over her shoulders she still looked so lost, what could have Tyler said to her to make her so down ? "Caroline hop in" she must have been miles away as my voice made her jump, I pressed the button that unlocked the door she jumped him the car without saying a word.
The drive him was awkward and silent. When we got to mine we made a sandwich and headed to my room, eatting in silent I knew I had to start the conversation to help her out, "Caroline, whats wrong? What has Tyler done to make you so down?" She didnt meet my gaze at first, then she slowly look at "You remember that accident right?" the accident she, Tyler and Matt had "yeah, I remember."
"Well..."
Flashback
C.P.O.V
I had been out of the hospital for a week and I was already bored I know one day I will regret saying this but I wanted to go to school, the house was driving me crazy. Elena came to see me twice and Bonnie 3 times but the one person I really wanted to see didnt bother, Matt never came up once to see and thats what hurt the most. 'KNOCK, KNOCK' the sound made me jump, I got all excited thinking it was Matt and ran to the door feeling so dizzy. I opened the door to face I'd never ever expected.
"Tyler? What are you doing here?" Tyler's head came up from the floor revealing a smile, he was stood straight with his hands behind his back and feet should lenght apart "I've come to see you, c-can I come in?" I dont think I heard him right but I think Tyler said he had come to see me "come in? Erm sure" I stepped a side with my arm in the air while he came in the house never taking his eyes off me which I had to admit was kinda creepy. I closed the door and turned to him "coffee?" was all I could think to say, he sat on my couch and looked up at me "sure."
I came from the kitchen with two cups handing one to him and taking a seat on the opposite side of the couch to him. "So how are you Caroline?" i took and sip of my coffee and looked at him "I'm okay, alittle sore and sometimes abit dizzy but apart from that I'm making a good recovery" after I said that, I was sure I heard him breathe a sigh of relief "Tyler?" I brought my eyes to meet his "why are you here?" his faced turned alittle confused "what?" I knew if I carried on this would make the conversation more awkward but I wanted to know "I mean, dont get me wrong this is real sweet of you to come see me, as Matt has even bothered but we are not that close" his eyes widen alittle when I told him Matt hadnt been here but also as if he was lost for words. "I'll be honest with you then, okay its because I'm in love with you" I spat my coffee back in my cup "what?" did he actually just say that? "Caroline, I'm so crazy about you. Your so beautiful, kind, caring and funny and I respect you so much, but I know you love Matt and I expected that and dont worry I wont ask you to break up with him, I want you to be happy no matter who its with. But you make my heart skip a beat just by breathing" Tyler is in love with me, how did that happen? "Wow Tyler, unexpected!" Tyler smiled at me and reached up and tucked my hair behind my ear and cupped my cheek while his thumb caressed my cheek.
"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now" I looked up at him with shock "what!", But he didnt say instead the hand that was on my cheek smoothly moved to the back of my neck and he pulled me closer to his lips making them meet. Tyler's lips where amazingly soft and smooth and the kiss felt perfect it wasnt something I expected Tyler's lips to feel like, not that I was thinking but I have seen how he is round all the popular girl and the way he acts with them but this didnt feel like that. His tongue licked the line of my lips and I dont know why but I parted them to let his tongue explore my mouth, his hand left my neck and headed towards my cup taking it out of my hand and putting both of them on the coffee table, then his hands both when on either side of my face and mine when on both sides of his stomach. He leaned fowards which made me go backwards so he was on top of me giving me butterflies in my stomach is lips never leaving mine but his hands shifting down to my shoulders, then my arms, then to my hips, his lips left mine and started making small kisses on my jaw down to my neck as I let out small sighs of pleasure. Then 'KNOCK KNOCK'.
I froze in my space as did he. Jumping from his arms and standing while we stared at eachother I was breathless and could feel them warmth in my body, the door sounded again "I-I better get that" I didnt wait for him to answer and ran straight for the door no matter how dizzy it made me feel, I opened the door to see the face I didnt really want to see right now "Matt! Hey" I forced myself to smile and could feel Tyler's eyes on me, of all the days he could have come on today he chose to. "hey how are you" he kissed my cheek and walked into my house "I'm fine thanks" Tyler came from the kitchen with a smile walking towards Matt gining what they call 'The Shake' "hey man, what you doing here" thank God Matt didnt suspect anything, "I just came to see how Caroline was seen as I caused her inguries" they both glanced at me and smiled "thats cool of you man, I'll see you around" Tyler repiled by say see ya then walked out the door and I followed him "Tyler ?" I closed the door as he turned and looked at me "yeah" I took a deep breath and looked at him "You didnt cause my inguries it was an accident I dont and never have blamed you..." his index finger was on my lips to stop my sentence and then came off incase Matt saw, "dont worry about it" he whispered so seductively "Tyler, what happened in there when you told me you loved me I.."
"Caroline dont worry about it I'm not going to ask you to break up with Matt okay, I just couldnt keep it from you nomore, your so special to me" he walked off and left me stood there without me saying how I felt, because this kiss felt right, Tyler felt right, Matt didnt care for me like Tyler did he still loved Elena and I knew I was the rebound from the start.
"and thats the story" I just blinked at Caroline Tyler was in love with her "Jesus Caroline! Tyler loves you and you both made out, what about Matt and I mean where does he come into this" I wasnt mad at Caroline but it came out like I was but I wasnt I was just confused "Matt doesnt love me Elena, I'm just a rebound! He loves you and always will. I cant go on telling myself a lie and hoping he will learn to love me" she stood up and ran out my room I went after her but she was gone the door left wide open and Caroline gone in the middle of the night.
I stood and looked out the open door jump when it was suddenly replaced by Damon "Hey" I ran up to him and hugged him "Hey gorgeous, you okay ?" not really everyone is having boy problems lately "yeah good, you?"
"I'm fine come on shall we go upstairs?" i glanced at my watch and it was already 7 oclock, gosh how can time go so quick "sure" we headed to my room and sat on the bed and I took his hand and started fiddling with it "hey your miles away whats up?"
"remember that accident Caroline, Tyler and Matt had? Well Tyler went to see Caroline and told her he was in love with her and they kissed. But its not fair on Matt, I mean Caroline called herself a rebound from me" I looked out our hands had he use his other to lift my chin up "dont worry about it, Caroline is a big girl plus Matt never loved her so I think she would be nice with Tyler" hold on did he just say that since when did Damon match make? "Since when did you matchmake ?" had laughed at me why is it this guy could confuse the hell out of me? "put it this way, Tyler says he is in love with her and Matt uses her as a rebound, then she should dump Matt and try loving Tyler" no matter what he said he was always right. "your right, I'm going to take a shower then head off to bed I'm really tired" his hand cupped my face "Okay, I'll be here when you get out" and I did just that.
I am so sorry this has taken forever I hope you can forgive me been busy and not in the zone for this. Please review Chapter 12 soon honest :) x
