Finally! I finished! I hope you guys like it! :)

Caroline hated herself for ever letting herself feel anything for Klaus. Letting herself think that Klaus thought of her as anything but a toy. It had been two days until she finally healed completely, and he still hadn't said a word to her.

Rebekah had been taking care of her for the two days when she was healing. They still weren't sure what was wrong with her, but apparently Elijah has been talking to a witch about it.

She had been working towards asking Rebekah about Klaus but held back afraid it would make her sound more pathetic then she felt. So she didn't say anything, and Rebekah never brought it up.

Everyone was sleeping when Klaus got home. He sighed knowing he would have to face her eventually. Caroline. He knew he was being a selfish, he just didn't want to get any closer to her just to have her die. Everything about her situation screamed 'strange vampire illness there is no cure for.

Tommorrow he would talk to her. Right now he would go to sleep. "Klaus." He heard her voice coming from the direction of the kitchen. He turned around to see her leaning against the wall with a glass of water. He was suprised she was standing. He could see her leg completely healed. That's when he realized how little she was wearing.

He looked her up and down and gulped. She had one of his sweatshirts that only reached the middle of her thigh. Of course her pale and sickly appearance reminded him that she was probably dying and the closer he got to her the more it would hurt. Yes he knew he was being selfish but since when did he care? Since Caroline you idiot! The voice in the back of his head shouted.

"Caroline what are you doing down here?" He said colder than he needed to. He tried but failed to ignore the flash of hurt that crossed her face with his harsh words.

"I-I needed some water." She said quietly shifting uncofortably under his gaze and dropping her eyes to the floor.

"Well, you should proba-"

"Why am I still here?" She asked trying to stand from where she was leaning on the wall.

He decided to ignore her question. "You should be sleeping." He said simply walking past her toward his drawing room.

"No." She said with an incredilous tone. He rolled his eyes and continued walking. "Klaus you can't just do that!" She said her voice going up an octave. He stopped when she grabbed his shoulder trying to pull him back. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself, because he could tell how much weaker she had gotten in just two days by the way she could barely grasp his shoulder.

He turned toward her. "Do what?" He hissed bitterly.

She tried to pretend the way he talked to her didn't hurt her, and he pretended not to notice. "Yo- You can't just ignore me." She stammered feeling uncomfortable under his gaze.

"I'm not ignoring you." He said and to his words stung because to Caroline they sounded more like, 'Ignoring you would require effort on my part which is one thing I would never waste on you.' She may have been reading to much into it but that's what his tone seemed to convey perfectly.

Klaus seemed to be regretting everything he said today, because some way or another his words found a way to hurt Caroline. "Then why don't you just let me go, or better yet just kill me!" She almost screamed, she was hurt and angry. "You obviously don't want me here so why don't you just kill me!" Shut up! The self preservation side of her mind told her. Isn't this what you wanted? You wanted him to leave you alone and now he is, just let it be!

If Caroline didn't know better she would have thought from the look on his face that someone had just staked him, making her drop her gaze to the ground. That's when Klaus realized he was already to close to her the thought of her dying made him feel like someone had just ripped out his heart. She looked back up when she felt his hand brush across her cheek. His eyes had softened considerably.

"Caroline, I do want you...here" He added the last part after a second and the way he was looking at her made her want to believe him.
