A Girl Worth Living For
Chapter 5: Broken Glass
The plane ride after that was fun and calming, they talk about their hopes, dreams, their outlooks on life. Even their hobbies and favorites.
"So what's your favorite book?" Klaus asked.
"Uh, it depends on what the type and year." She smiled. "Okay, like now its fifty shades of grey, but my all time favorite is tomato rhapsody. "She confessed.
"Your choice is book is peculiar, both books are about love. Yet you're scared to fall in it with me. Why is that" he questioned.
"I don't know those people are just in books. They make it sound so easy, boy meets girl they fall in love and maybe have one or two small problems that they blow out of proportion. When real life it's more like boy meets girl they fall in love, then they have a billion problems and they break up. So yes I use the books to escape." She said.
"Escape into what? I get tomato rhapsody, but fifty shades of gray. Why Ms. Forbes that's not a book a young woman like you should be reading." He said in almost a chuckle.
" hey! That book is a best seller and escape to where love is about pure passion and forbidden fruit, loving whole hearted without anyone's permission. I could never do that." Her tone turned serious.
"That's it, you read those books because they remind you of your life now, your sneaking around with the man that your family and friends won't approve of. Your afraid of if they found out you wouldn't be loved anymore, but that's not true Caroline, did you see how well it went with bonnie you just have to take it one day at a time. And if they don't like it well that's their fault because you will always be loved Caroline" he stopped when he saw the tears falling from her eyes and pulled her in. Caroline pulled away and wiped away the tears, and got up and grabbed her purse to get tissue to wipe away her tears.
"Gosh, you're such a jerk you know that" she scoffed
"And how is that?" he questioned
"You have made me cry almost three times in less three days" she sniffed.
"love, it's not my fault that you're so sensitive. Have you ever turned it off ever?" she thought about his question and she did once for like an hour, but she was in a dark place she had just been turned and it felt better to just turn the hurt off that she took a man's life. Someone's farther, son, and so much more. When she thought of that more tears started to fall.
" Caroline are you okay?" he questioned.
"No because you're always doing this, why are you prying. You make me think and cry and fell bad and good at the same time you scare me sometimes and I hate feeling scared." She cried
He looked at her with such love and hurt at the same time. He wanted to just make all the pain go away, but he knew he couldn't. He tried to pull her close to him, but she pushed him away.
" No, you don't get to do that make me cry then comfort me. I just need some space." She said getting up and walking to the curtain in the back of the plane and pulling the curtain back.
Klaus ran his hand through his hair and sighed. What was he doing? He knew Caroline was different than any other girls he didn't know why, but he was drawn to her. He hated the way she made him fell; it made him fill weak and human. Two things he hated to fell, but she also made him fell alive and loved. If only she would open up, he will give her space but not to much.
Caroline sat on the large bed in the back of the plane, crying her eyes out. Why was he making her fell this way, like she was broken and weak. He also made her fell happy, special ,and safe, things she haven't felt in a long time. She might love him and she wasn't ready to open up to him, she was acting like a drama queen. She remembered the way she felt when they told her that Klaus had died, the news hit her like a truck and she felt like she lost her life again. She cried every night , people thought it was because of Tyler, but it wasn't she missed the way Klaus made her fell. The second bonnie told her what she had done, she was instantly happy like she had gave her a new life. Caroline never wanted to fell alone again, even after she pushed him away he kept coming back. He hasn't come after her maybe this was it she had pushed him away for good. She cried herself to sleep to try and get away from the pain.
Hours later the plane was entering New York, so Klaus walk to the back of the plane to talk to Caroline and found her sleeping on the large bed in front of him. He smiled at the site of her sleeping; she looked so peaceful and calm. He walked over and sat down next to her, and shook her lightly. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Hi" she said sitting up wiping her eyes.
"Hey, listen I'm sorry that I made you cry and I didn't want to pry into your life, I'm just trying to get to know you." He said softy.
"It's okay, I'm sorry for storming off like that, I'm just not used to someone caring about my life that's all" she confessed.
"Caroline you have to stop thinking people won't care about your life. You're very interesting." She said pulling her closer to him.
"Yea, one day I might believe that. So are we there yet? She said laying her head on his chest.
"Yes, we should be landing really soon" she said running his hand through her hair.
The plane had landed and Klaus took two bags and put them on ground next to a small black town car, then he help Caroline off the plane. Klaus opened the door for her as she slid onto the smooth leather seats he closed the door and went to the other side and slid next to her. They sat in silence all of the way to their destination, as the car pulled up in front of this huge town house in the out skits of the city. The driver got out and fetched the bags, Klaus and Caroline stared at each other until Caroline broke the silence.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"My house" he spoke in a neutral tone.
"Wait, you own a town house in new York, yet you stay in a mansion in Mystic Falls?"
"Yes, now shall we" he said getting out of the car and walking over to her side to open the door.
"We shall" she said mocking his British accent. He gave her a small smile and then intertwining their fingers.
Caroline eyes widened when she saw the beautiful inside if the home. It had beautiful marble floors all the way up to the long stair case, which reminded her up the stair case on the nanny. There were beautiful paintings everywhere, unlike the home he had in the falls, it was open and calming. The colors were light and fluffy, she felt relaxed.
"It's beautiful" she gawked at the large windows in the living room that opened up to the view of the garden, which were filled with beautiful flowers.
"Thank you" he said smiling at her facial expression. Just then a man with dark black hair and casual clothing interrupted.
"Sorry to interrupt sir, but is this to your liking?" he asked scared.
"Yes just like I pictured it, you can go now James" he nodded and ran off.
"Wait, did you design this?" Caroline asked.
"Yes." He said as if it was nothing.
"That's amazing, why didn't you tell me?" she questioned
"Because, I didn't think you would care, it's not a big deal" he said walking towards the stairs. Caroline walked behind him.
"Yes it is a big deal, you built a house." She said as they reached the top of the stairs. They reached a white door with a silver door knob.
"This is your room" he said opening the door.
"My room, how long is you planning on staying here? She said as she walked into the room. It was a beautiful room, with a balcony that reaches out over the garden. It had white walls, with ocean blue trimming that matched the blue satin sheets on the four poster bed.
"As long as you wish, love" He said as he watched her expression.
"I can't stay here long, I don't have any clothes." She said as her expression changed, she was disappointed but regretted saying those words.
"Well, I don't mind if you don't have any clothes, sweetheart" she scoffed and she rolled her eyes. "Look in the closet" he said with a smirk. She walked over to the large walk in closet and opened the double doors. There were rails and rails of designer clothes in her size of course, and then at the bottom there were rows of shoes. At the top of the dressers there was jewelry and perfumes from all over the world, in the dressers there were designer French under garments. Her cheeks turned bright red as she felt his eyes on her; she closed the drawers and turned around.
"I had Rebecka shop for you, any excuse to shop she is up to it and I think she is started to like the idea of another girl around." He said looking deep into her eyes.
"Thank you, you didn't have to do this." She said hugging him.
"But I wanted to, I thought that you deserved it and so much more." He said pulling away from her. "Now get dress love, we have diner plans at 8." He said walking to the door and leaving her standing there. She walked it the closet again and pulled out an ocean blue empire waist dress that came down just above her knees with some Swarovski Crystal Christian Louboutins that matched the crystals beaded on her dress.
She went to the in suit bathroom and took her shower, in the shower she thought about how her life has changed so much in two days. She dad found out Tyler was cheating, that she could be in love with Klaus, Bonnie and Kol were doing whatever, and she was in New York with an original. She stepped out of the shower and blow dried her hair and slipped into the dress and did her hair and make-up. She was good to go until she looked down and saw she wasn't wearing shoes, she laughed and went to put on her shoes. There was a knock on the door and it opened and Klaus appeared wearing black slacks with a white buttoned down shirt with a blue tie that weirdly matched her dress.
"You ready love?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yes" she smiled and walked to him.
"You look ravishing tonight, Caroline" he said taking her hands.
"Thank you, you look handsome tonight too Nik" she said with a smile avoiding his gaze. He opened the door for her, and walk to the other side. In the car they stared at each other, just gazing at each other, with such love and passion. As they arrive at the restaurant Caroline eyes widen at the sight of it. It was a beautiful stone building with a red carpet and beautiful classy people walking in and out of it.
"Here we are, sir" the diver said while opening the door from Klaus and then her.
"Shall we" Klaus asked offering his arm.
"We shall" she said looping her arm through his.
