A/N: Welcome to Kiss My Quill, just wanted to thank you for recently following The Wayward Salvatore.
As I continued to lay on the bed unable to go back to sleep, I found myself continuously replaying last night over in my head again, and again. The only thing I can compare it to, is when you hear a song overly played and then out of nowhere you find yourself not only thinking about the song but singing it as well. And no matter how much you try, the song just won't stop playing in your head.
Now standing in front of Tyler's bedroom, I pulled myself out of my train of thought, and proceeded to enter my boyfriend's bedroom. But as I did, I was greeted with a heart breaking, and gut wrenching sight.
"Sam!" yelled out Tyler, immediately after noticing me standing in the door way
"Wait hold on Elena. Sam?" asked Caroline, just after putting Elena on hold. Turning around to see what had Tyler so spook, the blonde boyfriend stealer, immediately took notice of me. Her face now looked like she had seen a ghost. "Samantha!?" screamed out Caroline, in both shock and shame as she dismounted from off of Tyler.
There in Tyler's bed, I witnessed a half naked Caroline passionately making out with a half naked Tyler. For that brief moment I felt a pain in my chest unlike any other, and it was then that I wished I had the luxury of being able to turn off my emotions, as I hated hurting this much. Now as I stood there, unable to formulate a single word, let alone a sentence. My eyes began to water, causing tears to trickle down the sides of my face, and unlike before there was no question as to why my eyes had started to water, because I knew why. It was over.
"Sam, let me explain" said Tyler, as he scurried up off the bed and onto his feet.
Unable to face Tyler like this, I immediately turned and ran out of Tyler's room. With my heart arching, my vision blurry, and my mind caught in a tailspin, I flew up the hall away, and then down stairs, with Tyler's voice constantly echoing throughout the house, as he repeatedly called out my name.
Just as I made it to the last step, I was instantly greeted by a worried Mayor Lockwood. "Samantha is everything ok, dear?" asked Carol
I tried to say something, but I soon found I couldn't. My chest felt so heavy, and every time I attempted to say something there was a sharp pain in middle of my chest. This went on for a good minute or two, until I heard Tyler's voice drew nearer. Peering up the staircase, I spotted the cheating werewolf, as he had just made it to the top stair landing. Just seeing his face made everything I was already feeling, feel ten times worst.
"Sorry Carol." was all I could get out before then running off, leaving Carol all alone in the foyer as I made a less then graceful exit out of the Lockwood Mansion.
I had made it to the front lawn before then being grabbed and spun around by Tyler.
"Sam, please, you've got to let me explain." pleaded Tyler
"Let go of me!" I cried out, as tears continued to stream down my face
"Sammy please! I swear this wasn't planned, Caroline just kiss me." explained Tyler with much urgency
"And what, you two just happened to be half naked when the whole thing started!" I shot back, just prior to breaking loose from Tyler's grip.
"Sam, I'm sorry." said Tyler as he looked at me with defeated eyes.
"Answer me this Tyler, throughout the entire time me and you have been doing whatever it is we've been doing, have you been holding out hope for Caroline?" I asked, dreading the answer I was about to receive.
"Sam, don't do this." said Tyler, with both sorrow and guilt now in his eyes
And it was at that moment that I realized Matt and everyone else was right. Tyler never truly loved me, I was just his replacement for Caroline. "I believe I just got my answer." I responded, as I stared directly into Tyler's eyes.
"Samantha." started Tyler, but before he could get out whatever it was he was about to say, I dropped him hard on the floor with a quick right hook.
"I don't want to hear ANYTHING else you have to say. When you see me on the street or at school, just pretend to not see me, cause from here on out, you and Caroline Forbes are dead to me." I stated, with poisonous venom dripping with every word. Then, just like that, I turned and ran off in the direction of my motorcycle.
My unintentional walk down memory lane was brought to a screeching halt, as my phone went off for like the thousandth time due to what transpired between me, Tyler, and Caroline last night. Who weren't calling or texting to see if I was ok, was calling and texting to apologize to me, as if I would hear anything from those lying, selfish, two-timing sons of bitches.
The only silver lining throughout this whole ordeal was that I had the boarding house all to myself. Seeing as when I got home, I had found a letter left by Damon informing me that he had left on a road trip with Katherine and that he'd be back whenever he was back. Now as much as I found it totally wrong that Damon went anywhere with that conniving, backstabbing doppelgänger. I was still a bit relieved, because this meant that I could actually be by myself and recover from this unforeseen tragedy without the constant teasing and taunting that would have followed if Damon was here.
Yep, I was alone, and that didn't bother me, because I was use to being alone. Now all I needed to do was just continue to lie in bed, turn off my phone, and leave the world outside my door as I worked on getting myself back together. And that's exactly what I intended to do, I just needed to make sure I was back to one hundred percent within a day's time, seeing as tomorrow night was Senior Prank night, which I fully intend on skipping. But the day after that was the first day of school and as much of a challenge as it was going to be to see both Caroline and Tyler, with plunging my fist into their face, I was going to have to get over myself and press on. After all, I am a Salvatore.
3rd Pov
In a booth at the Grill, Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline sit around discussing the conundrum that is Caroline and Tyler.
"Nothing, she's still not answering." said Elena, as she hung up her phone after being directed to Samantha's voicemail.
"I know, Tyler said she's not answering her calls, and earlier he stopped over at her house, and she didn't answer." pointed a frantic Caroline.
"Well what did you did think was going to happen Caroline? That you were, going just make out with Tyler and Sam would get over it?" asked a defensive Bonnie.
"What!? No! That's not it all, look I feel really bad you guys, but Sam is giving me the chance to apologize." explained Caroline
"She doesn't HAVE to hear you out Caroline. It's not like she owes you anything." pointed out Bonnie
"Oh my god Bonnie, that's not what I meant. Geesh your being so mean, all I want to do is get a dialogue going between us. That way we can address the issue head on and get to a place where we can work on being friend's again." sprouted Caroline
"That's not how it works Caroline." smirked Elena
"Well it should." pouted Caroline
"Why, just so you can clear your conscious?" asked Bonnie
"Bonnie!" said Caroline, as she didn't understand why her best friend was being so mean and judgmental to her
Realizing that she was still kind of peeved with Jeremy and him seeing his dead ex girlfriends, Bonnie figured it would probably be best if she just left. "Look guys, I have to go. I'll see you later." said Bonnie as she grabbed her purse from off the table and marched off.
With a shocked look on her face, Caroline watched as Bonnie took off before then turning her gaze to Elena. "What was that about?"
Not fully knowing what was going on with Bonnie herself, all Elena could do was shrug her shoulders, "Your guess is as good as mine."
