"Nik" I mumbled
"Yes love?" He looked up from his carving at me.
"What are we doing?"
"I'm carving and you're—"
"No I mean what are we doing?"
"I'm not sure what you mean by that" He said his eyebrows scrunching together in confusion.
"You know exactly what I mean" I scowled at him.
"We are best friends who sometimes revel in the fact that we are from the opposite sex" I stood up angrily.
"Is that truly all any of that was to you?" I said with tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
"Carolena we can be nothing more since I am courting Tatia"
"If that is your wish then I cannot be your mistress"
"Do you really think so lowly of yourself?" He said standing in front of me. "You are my best friend" He began to lean forward so I turned my head away.
"If you wanted me as badly as you say you do you would be courting me rather than Tatia"
"Carolena we are just friends though"
"Niklaus I can't just be your friend anymore" I said staring straight into his eyes.
"And why is that?"
"I am to be wed to Elijah"
"What? No you cannot"
"Why do you protest if I am only your friend?"
"Because I love you Carolena I think I always have"
"Have you just decided this now?" I shrieked. "I have loved you since the day I first laid eyes on you and yet you broke my heart over and over always telling me you love Tatia and I pity you Niklaus for she is a whore and it's not fair to put me through so much pain and say you love me yet you continue to court her"
"You love me?" He asked surprising me because I expected him to defend Tatia.
"Yes Niklaus" I said softly.
"Then why are you marrying my brother?"
"Because unlike you he is willing to give up Tatia" I said then turned and began to walk away.
"Carolena wait!" He shouted after me.
"Why?" I asked turning back towards him. "Would you really give up your precious Tatia just to prove you are better than Elijah?"
Without waiting for an answer I began to walk briskly towards the village. I stopped suddenly when I heard moaning coming from slightly ahead of me. When I reached where it was coming from Tatia and Elijah sprung apart, trying to pick up clothes to cover themselves. My emotions were so befuddled I almost didn't hear Niklaus come up behind me.
"Tatia? Elijah?" He asked. "I would expect this from her" He gestured to Tatia. "But aren't you supposed to be noble?" He said then turned and stormed angrily into the forest.
"Niklaus wait" Tatia called.
"You have done enough now stay away from him or I will reassemble your face" then I turned to Elijah. "And you I am declining your offer, you and this whore deserve each other" Then I turned and ran after Niklaus.
When I finally found him he was sitting on a rock and his knuckles were covered in blood. "Oh Nik" I said and sat down with him and hugged him.
"What did that tree ever do to you?" I asked.
"I'm sorry Care" He said after a while.
"What for?" I asked.
"Everything, I'm a horrible best friend"
"You may be horrible but you're all I have" I tell him.
"Forgive me"
"Always" I told him. And this time when he leaned in I didn't turn away.

"What did that bottle ever do to you?" Marcel said coming up to me. I looked down and realized that in fact I had crushed the bottle of bourbon in my hand.
"Do you want something Marcel?"
"I want you to stop killing my night walkers"
"Why would I kill them Marcel?" I said in an agitated tone.
"Ah Marcel, is it? Why are you blaming Klaus for my accomplishments" Kol said walking up to the bar.
"And who are you?" Marcel said glaring.
"Kol Mikaelson I'd say it's a pleasure but sadly it's not" Kol said. "Now brother will you just go to Mystic Falls Rebekah has been blowing up your phone all day the ringing is getting quite annoying"
"Rebekah?" Marcel asked.
"Yes a thousand years old total strumpet quite the opposite of her best friend" Kol said directing the last part at Klaus. "Leave us Marcel" Unlike himself at all Marcel stood up and walked away.
"Elijah left for Mystic Falls he told me to tell you"
"What!"
"Just because you don't want to see her it doesn't mean the rest of us don't" And with that Kol stood and left.

"Really?!" Rebekah asked. "You mean I'm going to be an aunt?"
"Yes"
"I'm so excited she will be perfect" Rebekah squealed and I laughed. "What?" She asked me.
"Nothing it's just cool was convinced it's going to be a boy"
"No way we have enough boys in this family" She said. "Oh we have to go shopping then"
"Shopping?" I asked her.
"Don't worry I'll show you" She grabbed my hand and helped me up. Once I stood up and we walked back downstairs Rebekah led me outside. Outside sat something shiny and silver on some type of wheel.
"What's that?"
"Oh that's a car" She said like it was the most obvious thing ever. "Get in" She opened the door.
"Is it safe?"
"Do you really think I'd put my niece in danger?" She laughed. When I sat down Rebekah put some sort of sash attached to the seat over my lap and shoulder and plugged it into the other side of the seat. "That's a seat belt it keeps you from going through the windshield if we get in a crash"
"Right" I said nervously.
"Stop worrying Care it's not good for the baby"
After driving into town Rebekah parked the car and we both got out and walked into a store. After a few hours of buying and trying on clothes Rebekah decided we were done. We went and put our bags in the car then went over to The Grill, which is apparently where people go to eat. Once we found a table to sit and ordered food, I finally relaxed. After a while Rebekah took something out of her pocket and after talking to it with an angry tone she put it back in her pocket.
"What's that?" I asked her.
"It's called a cell phone you can communicate with people through it"
"Do you talk to Nik through it?" She gave me a shocked look and then grinned.
"You are a genius Care"
"Why?"
"Maybe you can convince him to come"
"He's stubborn though what makes you think he'll listen to me" Rebekah gave me a 'duh' look. "Fine I'll try" she handed the device to me.
"What do you want Rebekah?" Nik's voice answered angrily.
"Nik?" I asked. Then there was a crashing noise on the other end. "I—I think he hung up" I tell her as a tear slips from my eye. "God damn hormones I'm always crying"
"Let's go home Care" All I can do is nod my head as Rebekah holds my shaking shoulders and leads me outside. Her cell phone suddenly started ringing and she let go of me to yell at Nik through it. Suddenly something hits me in the back of the head and I black out.

I rolled over on the cot and opened my eyes. Sitting next to me was Niklaus so I immediately rolled and faced the other way.
"Care?" He asked.
"Leave me Niklaus I do not wish to see you"
"Care I'm so sorry"
"No you are not"
"Care please"
"You say I am your best friend but you treat that wench with more respect" I said.
"You are my best friend"
"Then prove it to me" I said sitting up and facing him. "Listen to me, trust me and stop jumping to conclusions, I promised you forever but I will not last forever if you keep assuming the worst of me"
"Care—"
"I am not your friend right now, If you want me to be you have some serious groveling to do" I told him. "Now leave me be I wish to rest"

"Oh you're alright I was so worried" Rebekah said when I finally opened my eyes.
"W—what happened?" I asked her.
"Somebody came and hit you in the back of the head with something and they almost kidnapped you before I turned around"
"How long was I out?" I asked noticing I was still on the ground.
"A few seconds" She said and my eyes widened in surprise. "Come on let's go home" She helped me stand up and we got into the car. It seems all she's doing now is helping me now a days and it makes me frustrated because I am independent. I don't need help but it seems that's all I get now.
"C'mon Care lets go inside" I glance out the window and realize that we're back home.
"Right" I say and get out of the car. Rebekah gives me a half smile and we walk inside. Once we're inside Rebekah stiffens.
"Bekah?" I ask her. Then suddenly somebody walks around the corner wearing what Rebekah called a suit, although he has shorter hair he is still recognizable.
"Elijah?" I ask. Rebekah is hugging him but he's focused on me.
"Is it really you Carolena?"
"Is Nik with you?" I ask standing on my tiptoes trying to look past Elijah, smiling.
"He's not coming Carolena" Elijah said.
"Damn it where is he?"
"Understand Carolena it has been a thousand years he's been through a lot"
"So have I!" I shouted. "I have been trapped in a coffin for a thousand years and unlike when you are daggered I wasn't asleep or unconscious, I was wide awake and conscious of everything going on around me!" I pushed past everyone and ran upstairs locking the door. I know I'm living with vampires but I hope they understand the lock as my need for privacy.

"What do you want Rebekah?" He asked getting fed up of her constant calls.
"Nik?" A voice asked on the other end. Carolena, he wanted so badly to say but instead his phone ended up in pieces on the floor on the other side of the room.
"Really brother are you really that stupid"
"You have a pregnant wife in Mystic Falls who is probably really confused and really needs you and you are here contemplating the fact that somebody may be plotting against you" Kol said.
"Don't you dare – "
"What? Am I making assumptions brother?" Kol asked. "Sure you lost a thousand years but she's here now, so just think about"
Sorry it ended on a weird note but yea I hope you like it
