"My what?" Caroline yanked her hand away from his to examine the expensive diamond ring that rested on her finger. Sure enough, not only was there an engagement ring, but also a band of diamonds. "I can't be married! I'm only a senior in high school." She looked back up at Klaus as if she were waiting for an argument.

"No…" He started to explain, but she interrupted him.

"And why would I be married to you? I'm with Tyler."

Klaus didn't expect her last statement. The last thing on his mind was who she had been dating in 2009, which is why what she said had hit him hard. At first he felt hurt, hurt because he never wanted to see her love another man. She was his, always and forever, like they promised each other. Then came the anger. It took him a long time to overcome his anger issues, and he probably never would have if it weren't for Caroline, but this past week had been too overwhelming. He just couldn't handle anymore. He wanted to shout at the top of his lungs. Not only had they dealt with a horrific accident, now they were dealing with memory loss. When he finally took control of his anger, defeat set in. He knew there was absolutely nothing he could do to make her remember everything at this moment. The only thing that could possibly work would be to talk to her about the last few years and show her pictures, but even that wasn't a guarantee. He felt his strength crumble, and tears threatened to fall. She was awake. This was supposed to be a happy time. Instead, he didn't know if he'd ever truly get her back.

Caroline would swear that she saw tears fill Klaus' eyes if she hadn't known him, but he turned and walked away before she could really confirm it. The Klaus she knew was a jerk. He always tried to get her to leave Tyler for him, but she never gave in. Although, sometimes he was quite tempting, she would never do that to Tyler. Besides, she knew that Klaus wasn't capable of love so she wouldn't waste her time.

"Well?" She prompted when she never received an answer.

Klaus tried to wipe every emotion off of his face before turning back towards her. "Maybe you should get some sleep, sweetheart. You've had a long day."

"Why won't you answer my question?" The determination in her eyes made it clear that she was feeling better.

"I think you've learned enough information for one day. Besides, your mom and friends will be here in the morning, so you need to get some rest." He made his way to the side of her bed before bending down and placing a light kiss on Caroline's forehead. "Good night, love," he stated.

Caroline crossed her arms over her chest and groaned, her bottom lip jutting out in a pout. If circumstances had been different, Klaus would have laughed at the scene. Instead, he headed for the exit and whispered, "I love you," too low for her to hear.

The next morning Caroline woke up to the sound of voices in her room, voices that she recognized.

"Shhh," her mom told Elena. "We don't want to wake her up."

"Maybe you don't, but I do. It's been hard not having her here," Elena admitted.

There was a brief silence before she heard her mom's voice again. "I know. Let's give her five more minutes and then we'll wake her."

Caroline couldn't keep the smile from her face. "I'm up, I'm up," she laughed as she opened her eyes to see her mother and best friend sitting in a couple of the chairs across the room.

"Caroline!" They both shrieked as they made their way to the bed before smothering Caroline with hugs.

"How are you feeling?" Her mom's face showed concern that Caroline had never witnessed before.

The bubbly blonde smiled. "I'm great. I'm so glad you two are here!"

Liz took her daughter's hand. "Honey, Klaus told us about your memory."

Caroline's gaze went to Elena, whose eyes were aimed at the floor. If she were being honest, she had hoped they were going to tell her it was all a joke. She looked at her mother again.

"Yeah, it seems that I've forgotten some things." Her thumb began to fiddle with her wedding rings.

"That's alright, dear. We will help you get your memory back," Liz smiled, and then looked to Elena for confirmation. "Isn't that right, Elena?"

Elena smiled at her best friend. "Of course, but speaking of Klaus, where is he?"

Caroline shrugged. "I haven't seen him since last night. I guess he just went home."

Elena's brow puckered as she considered what Caroline had said, and the blonde didn't miss her expression.

"What is it?"

"That's just weird. The only time Klaus has left your side since you were admitted was to grab something to eat or drink." Elena's expression still portrayed her confusion. "He was never gone for long. Definitely not overnight."

Caroline thought it was strange how her mom and best friend accepted Klaus so easily. They knew what he was like, and she couldn't think of anything that would have made him change. However, the man Elena was describing sounded nothing like the Klaus Caroline knew.

Before the conversation could continue, the door flew open and two more familiar faces entered the room.

"Care! You're awake!" Matt exclaimed as he enveloped her in a hug. "We've missed you around here." His smile was contagious; everyone in the room wore the same goofy grin.

"Hey Matt! I would say I've missed you too, but I don't feel like I've been gone," She joked.

"That's not funny," Tyler stated as he took Matt's place, squeezing Caroline with a hug. "It's good to have you back, Care."

"Thanks, Tyler." Caroline's expression gave away everything she was feeling for Tyler in that moment.

Elena glanced between the two exes before deciding that she needed to do something. "Tyler, can I have a moment with you outside, please?"

"Come on 'Lena, we just got here."

Elena lifted her eyebrows. "Please? It's important."

"Fine," Tyler agreed and motioned for Elena to lead the way.

When the two were in the hallway, safely out of earshot from the others, Elena decided it was time to let Tyler in on exactly what was going on.

"Tyler, Caroline thinks it's 2009. She can't remember anything past that," She stated, waiting for him to make the connection. After a minute of staring at his blank expression, Elena sighed. "She thinks that you two are still together, Tyler."

His eyes widened in shock. "But Klaus?"

Elena nodded. "She knows that she's supposed to be married to him, but in her mind it's 2009. That means her feelings are stuck in 2009. Do you understand?" She felt like she was talking to a child.

"Oh my…" Tyler started, but was cut off by an agitated voice.

"Elena," Klaus walked up to the two brunettes. He looked as if he hadn't slept, and by his tone, he sounded angry. "I need to talk to Tyler alone, please." His eyes never left Tyler's.

"Uh, sure, I'm just going to go back in with Caroline." Elena eased her way back into the hospital room.

"Let's get something straight here. I don't care what year Caroline thinks it is, she is my wife. I suggest that you stay away from her. Is that clear?" Klaus was now toe to toe with Tyler, his teeth gritting tighter and tighter as he continued to speak.

Tyler's smirk was in place, clearly not bothered by what Klaus was saying. "The way I heard it, she has feelings for me, not you. And the way I see it, she's a big girl and can make her own decisions." He started to walk back into the room when Klaus grabbed his arm, forcing Tyler to look at him.

Klaus was inches away from Tyler's face. "If we weren't in a hospital right now, my fist would have already made contact with your face, but I won't chance getting kicked out of this place. Nonetheless, maybe I should jog your memory a bit. She left you for me once; do you really want to feel that humiliation again?"

Tyler glared back at the man standing in front of him, his smirk vanished. He yanked his arm free. "You better hope she'll make the same choice twice." He entered her room, forcing an end to the confrontation.

Klaus, angry, hit his fist against the wall before storming off. He didn't know where to go, but he knew he wasn't strong enough in that moment to see Caroline laughing and happy with her family and friends when he didn't know how long it would be before he would be the one making her smile again.
