We grew up

To keep Bonnie close turned out harder than Caroline had expected, it all worked fine until her friend won prom queen with Matt as king. She is happy for her friend, really happy, but she wished that it wouldn't have kept her away.

It's when Bonnie disappears behind the stage that everything starts to go wrong. The first thing that alludes them to the chaos that has started is the screeching sound that comes from the speakers followed by a strong wind that moves through the room.

Together with Rebekah, Caroline hurries to the back where Matt is sitting with April who is bleeding from a wound to her forehead. "It was Elena." He tells them. "She went after Bonnie."

The fellow blondes look towards each other, forming a plan. "I'll take care of April, you follow your friends." Rebekah suggests, and Caroline isn't about to argue.

If she's to try and help Elena than now is as good of a time as any, especially with the sight she sees as she comes out. Elena is biting down on Bonnie's neck, she has really gone too far.

In response to Elena's attack, Bonnie uses her magic to get Elena to let her go and soon after she starts to throw up the blood she just fed on. Laying her attention on Bonnie, it's starting to get obvious that she is losing control.

From the other way the Salvatore brothers are coming closer and they aren't looking happy over what is happening. When the sound of bones breaking can be heard, Caroline has to agree that this really has to stop, Elena's life is starting to be in real danger.

While the brothers try to get Bonnie to stop, Caroline heads straight for Elena and grabs her head with her hands. "I think you have done enough." She says while her friend tries to fight her grip.

But with Bonnie's magic weakening her and Caroline starting to use her own, Elena doesn't stand a chance and she soon falls to the ground unconscious.

Caroline has to take some time to gather herself. The magic she used wasn't strong enough to knock her out too, but she does feel a bit fatigued and Bonnie isn't looking much better, but the wound on her neck has healed by the witch's own magic.

She takes a deep breath before she turns to talk to the brothers. "It's over, I don't know exactly what I did to her but at least now she won't harm anyone." She hopes Elena's humanity will be turned back on, that would be for the best, but otherwise, they will have to do with just locking her up for now.

"You didn't fry her brain right, it will still be Elena that wakes up, Blondie?" Damon asks as he lifts Elena from the ground.

"There will probably be consequences, but I don't have all the answers." Don't they think she would have told them if she knew. "Why don't you just take her home and call me when she wakes, and you know what happened." That way she can focus on Bonnie for now.

Once the brothers have left them the two friends start to move towards Caroline's car at their human speed. They have had enough of tonight's event and could both use some sleep.

Before they can leave the school, Caroline gets a message from Matt that she doesn't know what she should think about. Once upon a time, she would have been ecstatic but now it makes her more nervous and almost scared.

There is a surprise
 for you at Lockwoods.

She can guess what the surprise is, and it would be best if no one else knew about it, especially a certain hybrid that she can't imagine would react very well to the news.

But she can't just let it be, this might be her best chance to tell Tyler if not her only. Then there's the problem with Bonnie, she isn't going to bring her along to this conversation, but she isn't too keen on leaving her alone either.

It's just for her to choose, she can't just stand here all night doing nothing. "There's something I have to do." she's going to tell Tyler the truth, he deserves that. "Is it okay if Matt takes you home or would you prefer to go with Rebekah to the mansion now?"

"I would prefer to avoid the Mikaelson's until you are there." Bonnie says tired, but she doesn't mind going home with Matt for the time and Caroline promise to get back as soon as possible.

When she comes to the Lockwood house, she mostly just wants to get this over with. There is probably no way that Tyler is going to accept what she has to say, and he is definitely not going to be happy for her.

As she enters the house, he comes to meet her, dressed in a suit and flowers in his hand. This is how she once imagined prom would be like, her and Tyler going there together. But now it just feels wrong.

She tries to smile, hiding her nervousness but she isn't sure if she manages. "Hi." Is all she can get out for now.

He closes the distance between them and kisses her. She doesn't stop him but doesn't kiss back either. "Something wrong?" He wonders when he realises that she isn't as happy about seeing him as he is about seeing her.

Not knowing where to start she takes the flowers from him and goes in search of a vase. She knows that she should just rip the bandage off, but it is hard, they were good together before this whole mess started.

When the flowers have been placed in water and she can no longer excuse herself with them, she takes a deep breath and turns back to Tyler. "A lot has happened since you left, and I don't think you're going to like it."

"Caroline…" she can hear the worry in his voice and that he is trying to hold back some anger. "Don't tell me that you let Klaus convince you to trust his witch?"

It might not have been the smartest thing to do, but she can't help to laugh at the idea of Cyrena being Klaus witch. "He isn't really a fan of her Tyler." It wouldn't surprise her if he would try to kill her for not giving them any clear answers. "And as I said before you left Tyler, I need Klaus."

Tyler isn't planning on giving up on them just yet and he grabs her hands between his. "We can find a way to make this work, there must be a way for you to not need him." He looks at her almost begging to give it a chance. "Why can't we at least try?"

Had Klaus not shown her that he is willing to change and try to meet her halfway, maybe she would have given Tyler a chance to find a way where she doesn't need Klaus, but he has shown his good sides and she isn't about to remove him from his son's life. To do something like that is unthinkable for her.

Tyler deserves the whole truth, to know everything that is leading her to choose Klaus, but she hates the bigger rift that it's going to cause between them. "I'm pregnant." She takes a few steps back, away from Tyler that is looking at her in shock. "Klaus is the father, I learned about it not long after you had left."

"You're going to have a child, with Klaus." There's pure disgust in his voice. "How can you be okay with this?"

She expected this, but it still hurts to hear him hate the fact of it so much. "Tyler, at first I was just happy to get something back that I thought I had lost but now…" she can barely believe that she is going to say this, but she knows that it's true. "I love him."

"Has he compelled you?" Tyler is grasping at straws hoping somewhere in all of this that she can't possibly think like this.

She shakes her head. "I can't be compelled Tyler." She moves closer to him to say her goodbyes. "What we had Tyler, nothing will ever replace that, we were exactly what the other needed when we went through the changes from human to supernatural, but that time has passed and we both need to find our place in the world now." She takes a deep breath before she continues. "And sadly, I don't think that place is with each other."

She is going to miss her relationship with Tyler and there are better ways it could have ended, but she knew that it had to. It doesn't help either that she isn't in the best place with her friends right now to talk about the whole situation because even if Bonnie isn't going to judge her, she is quite certain that she doesn't want to hear about Caroline's choice of Klaus over Tyler.

Picking up her friend, none of them really know what to say about either of their situation which causes the drive to Caroline's house, so she can collect a few things and tell her mom that she will be staying at the Mikaelson's for the foreseeable future, to be very quiet.

While she is packing her things and Bonnie is quietly sitting on Caroline's bed looking through a book, Liz comes into them. "Caroline, can we talk?" she wonders.

Caroline first looks at Bonnie to see if she is okay. "I'll be fine, you left me alone before and I'm not a baby." She says to Caroline's sudden overprotective behaviour.

"Sorry." She knows that Bonnie isn't in that big of a danger, but she can't help but worry.

She and Liz leave Caroline's room, moving a bit a way to talk alone. Caroline does wonder if something has happened since her mother doesn't want to talk in front of Bonnie. "Are you sure about this, going up against this Silas in your condition?" her mom is looking to see that nobody hears them.

"Bonnie knows." Caroline lets her know so that she doesn't have to worry that they would be heard. "I will tell the others soon, but yes I'm sure, both I and my child will be safe." She really hopes she didn't just lie to her mom since she has no idea of how she's even going to be able to defeat Silas. "Maybe you would like to know, we think it's a boy." It had slipped her mind to tell her mom that before.

Liz gives her a smile. "I already know that." Caroline gives her a questioning look, how could she know that. "I saw Klaus today." She explains before Caroline can ask.

"You saw Klaus," Caroline repeats a bit shocked. "Don't take me wrong, I'm glad that you can spend time together, but I'm surprised that you would seek him out." she would have expected her mom to keep her distance, at least as much as possible.

"Well, he has done things that I might never forgive, putting your life in danger and killing Carol." Which is understandable. "But he is the father of my grandson and I needed to make sure that he would treat you right." She takes Caroline in her arms. "And you have to be careful on your own too."

"I'll do my best mom." It would have been easier if the supernatural danger wasn't a part of their life, but it is, and they will have to learn how to manoeuvre around it.

Once she and Liz are done talking, she hurries back to Bonnie, so they can be on their way to the Mikaelson's. Her friend seems exhausted and Caroline could use some rest herself, it is getting late, or early, she isn't completely clear on what time it is.

But rest is something they don't seem to get. When Caroline can see the mansion a familiar car that doesn't belong to any of the siblings is standing there, how she wishes this wasn't happening.

She hurries to park and wants to get inside the house as soon as possible to minimise the damage, but she barely makes it out of the care before Tyler comes flying out the front door.
