A/n: The song is Why Can't I by Liz Phair
Get a load of me, get a load of you walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be holding hands with you when we're out at night
Caroline could not believe that she was walking around Mystic Falls chatting with Klaus of all people. She was also shocked to find that she was having a lovely time. Who would have thought she could have a good time with the most evil vampire that ever existed. Granted she did not know him all the well so for all she knew he could have been good deep down inside. Maybe it was that last thought that had her reaching out her hand to place in his as they walked. It all felt so right and so natural. Almost as if she was meant to hold his hand. Now not only was she chatting, laughing and walking with Klaus she was holding his hand too. What was she thinking?
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right and I've got someone waiting too
What it is, it's just the beginning we're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Caroline knew that Klaus was still in love with Katherine. When she brought it up to him he shook his head and told her that she wasn't right. He said that he fell out of love with Katherine a long time ago and that only she meant anything to him now. Caroline was not sure if she believed him but she still had Tyler as her boyfriend. What really scared her was the fact that she had almost forgot about Tyler. She felt like she was in a relationship with Klaus and they were barely friends. This whole situation was getting out of hand.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you why can't I speak whenever I talk about you it's inevitable, it's a
Fact that we're gonna get down to it so tell me why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
She had no idea what was happening to her and it was starting to scare her. When she started to think about Klaus she would forget to breathe which had she been human would be a problem. If he got brought up in a conversation she couldn't form a coherent sentence. She was in over her head and she knew it. They had barely started talking but she knew it was going to eventually lead to something more.
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
Caroline felt like she was floating on cloud nine when Klaus was around. It was an intensified feeling that she only got when she was about to start a new relationship with someone. Having that feeling was the silver lining of breaking up with someone. No matter what happened between you and the person you broke up with you would still get that rush when you met someone new. She hoped that it wouldn't ever go away which scared her. She hadn't even broken up with Tyler and she was hoping to always have that amazing feeling around Klaus.
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful here we go, we're at the beginning we haven't fucked yet, but my heads spinning
It did not help that Klaus was incredibly attractive and Caroline could not help it if she started to think of things she shouldn't. She was convinced he was an amazing kisser. Not that she knew from personal experience but you could tell just by looking at him. She caught herself day dreaming about kissing him but her dreams were about more than kissing. She was already anticipating having sex with him and she hadn't even kissed him. It was infuriating to say the least.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you why can't I speak whenever I talk about you it's inevitable, it's a
Fact that we're gonna get down to it so tell me why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
This was getting so out of hand it was not funny at all. She knew that this whole inability to breathe or think when Klaus was involved was eventually going to attract Tyler's attention. It was a wonder with as often as Klaus was brought up in conversation that Tyler had not caught on yet. Caroline knew that after hers and Elena's last conversation about Klaus that Elena was starting to suspect something. However no one else seemed to notice how flabbergasted she was when Klaus was brought up. For that she was eternally thankful.
High enough for you to make me wonder where it's goin' high enough for you to pull me under somethin's
Growin' out of this that we can't control baby I am dyin'
Caroline could not help but think about whether or not Klaus would even take their relationship seriously. What if she was just another girl in a long list of girls he dated over the years? She needed to know if this was going to go somewhere or if she was just another possession he wanted to obtain. As long as Klaus swore she was special she knew that sadly she would believe him. She knew he lied and manipulated to get what he wanted but she did not care. He had her falling for him and that meant that all reason left her. She knew that Klaus would be the death of her.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It had finally happened, someone had noticed. Damon had walked into the kitchen at the Salvatore house while Caroline was day dreaming about Klaus. Damon must have noticed the whole not breathing thing because he reminded her that it freaked out humans. Caroline made up some excuse and managed not to sound to suspicious about it but Damon was too smart. When he made a comment about how Klaus was acting differently Caroline could not form a sentence properly. Damon smirked and started to make another statement but Caroline quickly made up an excuse to leave.
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it so tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Once Damon knew it would only be a matter of time before he told Tyler. Waiting for Damon to out her to Tyler was nerve wrecking. She just could not take it anymore. She knew something was going on between her and Klaus. She could not deny it anymore and she knew it was only a matter of time before they ended up together. Poor Tyler would be left with a broken heart and Caroline could not bear the thought of that happening to him. So she decided the best thing to do would be to ignore Klaus and concentrate on Tyler. It was hard to think about anything besides Klaus but she was gonna try, for Tyler.
