CHAPTER 25

"So, where are we having dinner?" Caroline asked as they finished up the second movie of the day. Klaus turned his head and just gave her a small smile. She let out a fake aggravated sigh and was quiet for a few seconds. She scooted a bit closer to him and began to play with his fingers. "Will you tell me the one thing you have on your list?" She asked softly keeping her eyes on their fingers.

Klaus chuckled and brought his hand; with hers attached up to her chin and pulled her towards him. He placed a soft kiss on her lips then pulled away to look her in the eyes. "No." He said simply.

"Are you ever going to tell me?" Caroline asked as she stretched her legs and back.

"Eventually." Klaus said with a smirk.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Is what I am wearing alright?" Caroline asked as she slid her feet back into her boots and slipped her jacket back on.

"Of course." Klaus said as he stood up and shut off the television and Blu Ray player. "Not too fancy…remember?"

The headed up the stairs and made their way to Klaus' car. He drove for a bit and Caroline was getting curious where they were having dinner since he was driving the opposite way from all the restaurants in town. Klaus pulled over to the side of the road and put the car in part before cutting the engine.

"Are we eating in the car?" Caroline asked as she turned towards him and raised an eyebrow.

Klaus didn't respond. He got out of the car and went over to open Caroline's door. He stuck out his elbow and she looped her arm through it before they began walking towards the woods.

"So…the woods?" Caroline asked.

Klaus laughed at her unnecessary nervousness. "Only passing through, Love." He leaned his head close to her ear. "I'll keep you safe."

His breath on her ear sent a shiver through her body. After walking a bit they came to a small clearing in the middle of the woods that was surrounded by trees. In the center of the clearing was a small round table with two lit candles in the center and a vase of beautiful dark blue roses in the middle.

"Oh my god." Caroline whispered

"I thought since it was a beautiful night we could have dinner outside." Klaus said as they approached the table set for two. He pulled out one of the chairs and Caroline took a seat. Klaus sat down across from her and pulled off the covers over the plates. "Nothing too fancy…just steak and vegetables. And of course we have dessert, strawberry cheesecake"

"Smells great." Caroline said softly as she continued to stare and smile at Klaus. "You don't have to go to all this trouble."

"You don't like it?" He asked as his face fell a bit.

"Oh, no that isn't what I meant." Caroline said shaking her head. "I love it…it's very…romantic." She paused. "I just don't want you to think you have to go all out every time we go out. Dinner at The Grill would have been fine."

"I didn't want to share you." He paused and grabbed a bottle of wine from an ice bucket on the ground. He poured them each a full glass and smiled at her showing off his sexy dimples. "If you get cold let me know, I have some blankets under the table."

"Well, you have thought of everything Mr. Mikaelson; haven't you?" She said lifting up her glass so she could clink it against his.

"You deserve everything." Klaus said after taking a sip of his wine.

"Everything was delicious." Caroline said before taking her last sip of wine. "Thank you."

"Of course, Love." He paused. "Would you like more wine?"

"I probably shouldn't. I can't have any excuses to miss school tomorrow." She said with a small laugh.

Klaus stood up and Caroline looped her arm through his again before they headed back to his car. Klaus opened the door for Caroline and shut it after she got in before going around to the driver's side.

"So when will I get to see you again?" Klaus asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Well, I could be persuaded to stop by after school tomorrow." Caroline said with a small laugh.

Klaus was quiet for a few seconds and Caroline noticed that his grip on the steering wheel tightened and he suddenly became less relaxed. "I can't tomorrow." He said quietly; his voice showing no emotion at all.

"Oh." She said. She wasn't sure what else to say, his reaction was worrying her but she didn't know if she should ask what his plans were. After a few more minutes of silence she decided that she might as well ask him. "So, what are your plans tomorrow…if you don't mind me asking."

"I just have some personal things to attend to." He said in his same mundane tone. He pulled in front of her house and shut the car off before getting out to open her door. They walked up her front steps in silence and she fumbled to get her house key out.

"So…" She paused trying to think of what to say. "Thank you for dinner." She said quietly.

Klaus gave her a small smile but she knew something was wrong. "I will come get you after school Wednesday." He gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and Caroline could have sworn that his eyes looked watery when he pulled away from her. "Good night, Love." He said before heading back to his car.

Caroline went inside and headed straight to her room. She had no idea why asking about tomorrow made him act so…weird. She pulled off her clothes and slid into a comfortable pair of sweats and Klaus' shirt. She frowned when she noticed that his scent was starting to disappear. She wondered if he thought she was crazy if she gave him this shirt back and asked for another. She smiled at her thoughts but it quickly disappeared when she thought about how they ended the night.

Klaus drove directly home after dropping Caroline off at home. On the way he made a call to one of his hybrids to clear up the things from his date. He walked in his house and went right into his room. He tossed his car keys on his dresser and stripped out of his clothes. He relaxed into his large bed; he placed one arm behind his head and closed his eyes.

Tomorrow was the anniversary of Henrik's death. Every year, no matter what he was doing or where he was he would always cut himself off from everyone and deal with the day his little brother died alone. He was always a mess and he didn't want Caroline to have to see him like that; even though she knew he blamed himself entirely for Henrik's death.

His phone buzzed with a new text message. Normally he would just ignore it but he knew he would regret not checking it if Caroline needed him. He sighed and got up off his bed before fetching his phone from his jeans. He got back into bed and hit the button on his phone to read the message. 'Hey. Sorry if I did anything to upset you. I just wanted to say again that I had a wonderful time. xx' Klaus immediately felt awful that she thought she had caused the bad mood, just the thought of her makes him feel better. He hit reply and typed quickly. 'Sweetheart you did nothing to upset me, please don't think that. I am glad you had a nice evening. Sleep well, Love x' He hit send and placed his phone on his nightstand.

Caroline made sure she woke up early for school the next day; she didn't want to chance missing another day. As she got ready she laughed slightly, most kids had parents to make sure they were up and off to school on time of course being the sheriff of the town was a twenty-four hour a day job and since her mom was working over night this week she was usually sleeping during the mornings. She grabbed her backpack and purse before heading out the door.

First and Second period went by unusually fast and Caroline was more than grateful for it. She sat and third period and jotted down the notes that were on the bored. She kept glancing at Rebekah and wondering if she should ask her if she knew what Klaus was up to today. His reaction had made her incredibly curious, she knew he wasn't killing people anymore and she trusted him so she wasn't really scared…just curious.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was lunch time. Caroline contemplated texting Klaus but she figured it was a bit early for 'I miss you' texts when she just saw him last night and she didn't want to text him with non sense. Caroline approached the lunch room and noticed the back of Rebekah's head so she ran ahead to catch up with her.

"Hey." Rebekah said glancing at Caroline.

"Hey…" Caroline paused and bit her bottom lip, she knew it was going to sound nosy but she really wanted to know what Klaus was up to and why it had him so upset last night. "So, can I ask you something?" She asked quietly.

"Something wrong?" Rebekah questioned; her attention more on Caroline than it was at first.

"No…at least…I don't think." She paused and pulled Rebekah off to the side away from the stampede of students making their way into the cafeteria. "I'm just worried about Klaus. Yesterday we were getting along great and then I asked if he wanted me to stop over today after school and he…got all quiet and said he was busy." Caroline paused. "I don't want to pry but his reaction just had me worried so I wanted to check with you and make sure he was alright."

Rebekah let out a small sigh and broke the eye contact with Caroline for a moment. "Look, today…isn't exactly…the best day to see Nik." Rebekah paused hoping that would be enough for Caroline but of course it wasn't. Part of Rebekah was happy that Caroline cared so much for him to want to know what was wrong. "Today is the anniversary of our younger brother's death. Nik likes to cut himself off from everyone on this day. I'm not exactly sure what he does or where he goes…I just know not to follow him…he isn't himself."

Caroline's heart tightened, she hated thinking of Klaus all alone today. Without saying a word she headed for the nearby exit doors.

"Wait. Caroline where are you going?" Rebekah asked running between Caroline and the doors.

"I can't leave him alone. He told me what happened with Henrik."

"He did?" Rebekah asked; confusion and surprise dripping from her voice. She knew Nik wasn't the type to open up especially when it was about Henrik.

Caroline didn't bother to say anything else. She walked out of the school and quickly made her way to her car. She had no idea where he would be but she decided to start at his mansion. She pulled into the driveway and quickly ran up to the front door. She rang the door bell and waited anxiously for someone to answer it.

"Hello, Darling." Kol said as he opened the door.

"Is Klaus here?" Caroline asked hopeful.

Kol's entire demeanor changed. "Today isn't the best day to call on my brother." He said in a serious tone; which was unusual for Kol.

"I know." Caroline said simply, trying to convey that she knew why he wouldn't be himself on this day. "So he isn't here?"

Kol shook his head. "No. He was gone before dawn."

Caroline let out a sigh, she knew deep down that he wouldn't be home but she had still held out some hope that she would get lucky. "Okay, thanks." She said with a small smile. She turned and walked back to her car.

"You should really let him be today, Sweetheart." Kol called out to me before I shut my car door and drove away.

She wasn't sure where to go next. She thought of The Grill but if he wanted to cut off contact with the world a busy bar and grill was the last place he would go. She drove a little longer thinking until it finally came to her where he was. Now all she had to do was actually find the right spot. She drove to the cemetery and quickly turned off her car. She knew their home had been around the area the Salvatore tomb was but she had no idea where the spot Henrik was killed was in relation to it. She sighed and chose a direction to begin her search.

She wasn't sure how long she walked or how many times she turned around to start in a different direction but she finally found him. She was about twenty feet away when she finally saw him. He was lying on his back with several empty bottles of liquor surrounding him, one partially full on in his hand. It scared her to see Klaus so broken and weak, and it broke her heart. She took a deep breath in and slowly let it out before she quietly walked over to him. She bent down to her knees by his head and waited for him to acknowledge her presence.

He turned his head and opened his eyes to look at her before turning back the other way. "What are you doing here?"

Caroline wasn't sure if he was surprised, angry, or frustrated to see her; the alcohol was doing a good job of masking his feelings. "I came to make sure you were alright." She said softly as she picked up his hand and sandwiched it between hers.

Klaus pulled his hand from her grip and sat up before taking another chug of his drink. "I'm fine. You can leave now."

"You are not fine." She said simply taking in his appearance. "And I am not leaving. You shouldn't be alone." Caroline pried the liquor bottle from his hand and tossed it a few feet from them. She sat in front of him and placed her hands on either side of his face so she could make him look at her. "Hey." She whispered. "Talk to me…why are you here?"

"Since you found me here I assume you know why." His eyes darted around to avoid eye contact with Caroline.

"Henrik." She whispered. "But why are you here beating yourself up over it?" She paused and leaned her forehead against his. "And why didn't you tell me?"

Klaus gently placed his hands on her wrists and removed them from his face. He placed their hands in between them and gently rubbed her wrists with his thumbs. "There was no reason for you to know."

Caroline sighed. "If we are really going to try this dating thing you need to feel comfortable talking to me about things." Caroline looked into his sad blue eyes and wrapped her arms around him. She climbed onto his lap and pulled him closer to her; Klaus rested his head on her shoulder. Caroline held him for a while, she let her hands rub his back; trying her best to soothe him. "I hate that you blame yourself." Caroline said as she squeezed him a bit tighter.

"It's my fault Caroline." He said. His voice cracking at the end of his sentence didn't go unnoticed by Caroline.

Caroline pulled away just enough so she could look at him. "Henrik wouldn't want you to blame yourself." She paused. "He loved you and wouldn't want you to torture yourself with the guilt." She leaned in and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. She pulled back and gave him a small smile and she saw a small amount of the sadness leave his eyes.

It was starting to get late; they had been sitting in the same position holding each other for hours.

"Come on, I will walk back to your house with you." Caroline said before she began to get up.

Klaus shook his head. "I don't want to deal with my siblings." He said. He turned his face to the opposite side and quickly ran his hand over his face, wiping tears from his face.

Caroline shrugged her shoulders. "Alright. We will go to my house. You can spend the night; my mom is working over night." She held out her hand in front of him for him to take.

After a few minutes Klaus reluctantly stood up and took her hand.

They walked Caroline's car in silence, but after a few minutes of driving Caroline broke the silence. "Are you angry with me for finding you today?" She asked softly keeping her eyes on the road in front of us.

"Just a little embarrassed." He paused. "I don't like anyone to see me like this."

"Don't be. It's just me." Caroline reached her hand over to Klaus' leg and he laced his fingers through hers.

"Your presence does make me feel a bit better."

"I'm glad." She said giving his hand a small squeeze. She pulled into her driveway and they both headed inside. "Do you want me to make you something to eat?" She asked as she tossed her things on the kitchen table.

"I'm fine, Love."

She stepped in front of him and took his hand in hers again. "I know better than anyone that we are not immune to the effects of large amounts of alcohol, and you have been drinking all day." She paused. "Just…let me take care of you…okay?" She pulled Klaus toward the living room and sat with him on her couch. "I will order a pizza." She said grabbing the phone. Caroline ordered the pizza and Klaus remained quiet as he sat on the couch and watched her. After hanging up the phone Caroline saw the sadness returning to Klaus' eyes so she climbed onto his lap and wrapped her arms around him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Caroline shut the almost empty pizza box and settled back into the couch next to Klaus.

"I can go pick up clothes for you at your house if you want." Caroline offered.

"I'd rather you stay here." Klaus said. "I'll be fine sleeping in these clothes."

"No you should take a shower, it will help relax you. I will grab you a pair of sweatpants from my dad's things." She paused. "His boyfriend sent over a bunch of boxes the other day with his things." She was up off the couch and heading down to the basement before Klaus could respond. She appeared a few moments later holding a pair of black sweat pants. "Come on." She said holding out her hand. Caroline placed the sweatpants on the top of the toilet and gave Klaus a small smile.

Caroline left Klaus alone and he turned on the hot water. He pulled off his clothes and tossed them in a neat pile on the floor. Caroline was right the hot water did relax him a bit and it felt good to get clean after spending the day sitting on the ground outside.

While Klaus was showering Caroline went to her mom's bathroom and washed up a little before changing into a pair of shorts and Klaus' tee shirt. When she walked into the living room Klaus was sitting on the couch. His hair was still a little damp and Caroline tried her best not to stare at his naked chest.

"If you want your shirt I can change into another one." She said gently pulling at the bottom of his tee shirt.

Klaus let out a small laugh and Caroline was so happy to hear it even if it only lasted a few seconds. "No, Sweetheart. I rather like you wearing my clothes."

Caroline smiled and walked over so she was standing in front of him. She held out her hand and waited for him to grab it. "Come on."

"Where?"

"Don't you trust me?" She asked with a small smile. Klaus stood and placed his hand in hers; she led him to her bedroom. "Lie down on your stomach." Klaus turned to look at her and was about to say something but she cut him off. "Just do it." She said as she rolled her eyes.

Klaus did as he was told and laid on Caroline's bed. Caroline climbed on top of him so she was straddling him and sat on his butt. She placed her hands flat against his lower back and slowly slid them up. She slid her hands down his arms then back up to his shoulders. She leaned forward and began to massage him.

"Feel good?" She whispered against his ear.

Klaus was quiet for a few seconds before he responded. "Thank you for taking care of me." He said softly as he let his eyes fall shut.

Caroline smiled. "Of course. What are girlfriends for?"
