Chapter 21

Caroline

Caroline sat on the cold studio floor looking at her reflection in the mirror. The same girl she used to see every morning stared back at her, but now she was covered with scars that nobody could see. She also didn't look that girl that she used to be similar yet so completely different.

How was that possible?

The door opened making her turn around. Klaus walked in and Caroline stood up. He had a bandage on his face. She gasped and rushed over to him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I just fell."

"I'm sorry for overreacting."

"It's fine Caroline Really."

She hugged him. She really didn't mean to freak out but after all she had lost in the past few months he couldn't help but to excuse her mild freak out. She felt Klaus reluctantly holding back so she tilted her head and frowned slightly.

"What aren't you telling me?"

He stroked her hair and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"There are so many things I want to tell you, but can't just yet."

Caroline wrapped her hands in his hair and their lips met. This kiss was sweet and short, but it was still just as important.

"Do you trust me?" he whispered.

She nodded not trusting her voice.

"Then let's pretend that I'm not hiding something from you."

"What could be so bad?"

"You don't want to know."

"Yes. I do. I won't lie about that, but I do understand that some secrets are best left hidden."

"I'm glad you get that."

"I always will."

He smiled and they stood there just looking at each other like this would be the last time. She might not know everything about Klaus, but she realized that she wouldn't want it every other way.
