Thanks for all the reviews, favourites and follows I really appreciate it. There's the next chapter my fellow readers
The bell echoes through the corridors and classrooms. Grabbing hold of her books from the desk, she throws them into her tanned studded handbag. The strap of the bag hangs loosely on her creamy shoulders. Caroline is wearing a tight red top which hangs off her broad porcelain shoulders. A pair of light blue skinny jeans and a pair of diamond earrings match her outfit perfectly. Pushing and shoving her way through the space-less area, she finally makes it out of the building. Her red heels dig into the ground as she strolls through the campus, making her way to her dorm room.
Her phone starts to vibrate in the back pocket of her denim jeans; she quickly retrieves it reading the text. The text is sent by Elena talking about their bring-bonnie-back-to-life plan.
Caroline doesn't want to get her hopes up; part of her is scared. Scared about the fact that Bonnie is lost forever. She knows if she gets her hopes up, there's a chance she'll break apart when she finds out the bad news. Nope. Caroline Forbes isn't about negatively! Trying to keep her mind off the worse outcomes, she decides to distract herself. Taking out a pair of black earphones from the side pocket of her handbag; she connects it to her phone and places the earbuds into her ears. She plays a random playlist she made on her phone and everything around her disappears. The steady beats and base of the music sooth away all those bad scenarios she thought of.
After a few minutes the distraction of peace is gone, vanished. A particular song plays reflecting on her present situation. She thought she had forgotten it or at least tried to... But no, the memories that break you apart always find a way to travel back to your heart.
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Memories of when Tyler told Caroline he loves her played in her mind. Those moments where they would lay together in bed cuddling; each kiss she mesmerised struck a chord in her. Those moments, those memories now scarred her. She believed that they could have it all. That they could finally be together. She believed he was the one. That she was the one for him... All that hope in them slipped away when he walked away from what they could have had.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Caroline makes it to her dorm room and lies on her back on her bed. The music still playing in her ears; she stares into the thin air listening to each line.
Tyler broke her heart. He ripped it out. She never expected him to be the one who would hurt her that much. She closes her eyes and a tear slides down one side of her face. Soon the song ends. Reopening her eyes to the surroundings she sits up and wipes the tear away.
The heartache eased after listening to the song. The song explained everything she was feeling, it eased the sadness she held in. The song speaks volumes of sorrow love and anger; it's what grabbed Caroline's attention. When Tyler came back he made love to Caroline countless times; she felt whole again with him around her. But he tears her down by choosing to leave again. She felt used; more importantly she felt unwanted. She knows that Tyler will never find anyone like her; he'll be alone living in a pool of despair. He'll suffer; realising what he has lost. She'll move on with her life because that's what she deserves. She deserves to be loved unconditionally; she wants the experience that firey passionate love. She wants both emotional and physical connection in a relationship. She wants to be wanted.
I'll move on, Caroline thinks to herself. She feels more relaxed and comfortable in her skin now that she expressed everything she wanted. Caroline raises her arms above her head then lowers her hands behind her neck stretching her head side to side. Sighing in relieve, her eyes catch onto a small note folded on her bedside table.
Her eyes widen; she opens the dorm room window and rushes outside. The sun setting on the horizon gives the sky a cohesive colour of pink and purple harmonising together. She heads into the forest then looks back the breathtaking view.
"Beautiful. Isn't it?", a deep voice murmured above Caroline's shoulder. Caroline launches herself at the stranger and holds a tight grip on the strangers throat pushing them into the nearest tree.
It's only then Caroline realises who she's got a hold of. "Stefan?! How many times do I have to tell you not to creep on me?", Her hold on Stefan's throat is softer now but her hand remains around his throat.
"It's fun scaring you", Stefan replies smirking at her. Caroline scoffs and releases her hand from his throat to her side. "You're late scaredy cat. I thought you didn't read my note for a second".
Caroline gives Stefan a death stare before she could answer him back. "I'm here now. So where do you want me to start?"
Stefan took a few steps towards Caroline and stared intensively at her. Caroline's voice hitched in her throat at the closeness between her and Stefan. His lips pursed as he narrows his head closer to Caroline's face, "Wherever you want to start". The closeness is driving Caroline to inch forward a bit more so that their lips could melt into one. But her mind told her it was wrong. She couldn't do that to Stefan; he merely remembers her.
She gently pushes him away from her and frowns. "Stefan, you can't do that. We're friends, Okay?", The seriousness in her tone ends up hurting something in Stefan.
He runs a hand through his hair nodding. "Sorry, won't happen again".
Caroline smiles, "Good". As soon as she's sure she got through to Stefan she begins the lesson, "I'll show you how to hunt down you're prey. When you see the rabbit chase it, catch it and feed on it".
"So we have to attack defenseless animals to keep us alive?", Stefan asked with his eyebrows arched.
She laughs which automatically makes Stefan smile. He wonders if this is a natural thing for him; to react this way around Caroline. "Well it does control you're blood lust so it's probably worth the risk".
Stefan smiles at her admiringly which makes Caroline's stomach flutter for some unusual reason. She clears her throat before she announces, "I'll go this way...", Caroline points in the direction behind her. "And you'll go that way", pointing to the direction behind him. "We'll see who wins first", Caroline cheeky adds. Caroline turns to leave but then halts; she gasps as if she has remembered something. "Remember we're going to the historical ball later on, so we can't be long".
In a flash she's gone on the hunt. Stefan turns around laughing thinking, how crazily neurotic could this girl get. Using his vampire speed he runs further into forest. He stops and listens to everything around him. He hears a light rustling sound from a bush straight ahead. His eyes catch the sight of the rabbit's ears peaking from out of the bush. He's ready... He straightens his body and runs straight for his prey.
Everything goes black for a second when he feels his back hit against the forest floor. He finds himself straddled by Caroline. "Remember it's never too easy to catch your prey. There are predators competing with you", Caroline smiles mischievously. She releases the hold she has on Stefan's muscular shoulders and moves them to her side. As soon as Caroline is about to get up, Stefan wraps an arm around Caroline's waist and turns them around.
"And you should remember to never turn you're back", Stefan said softly locking his gaze with Caroline's orbs. Her lips pout like a five-year old would when they learnt they lost a game. Her pout disappears when she feels Stefan's hand skim against the side of her hip. The proximity between their two bodies are closed in on each other that there's a small gap between their faces. Stefan takes in the alluring view in front of him. Her flaxen curls flowing onto the forest ground defining the oval completion of her face, makes Stefan question such beauty. Those sapphire eyes revealing uncertainty, and confusion pushes Stefan to meet his destination.
His lips grazes her lips; they both look back at each other's eyes waiting for either one of them to stop. Caroline stays still, the captivating moment has her wanting more. Whereas Stefan he wants to make his move before she can stop him and before his conscience can talk him out of it. Their breaths are ragged, their lips touching ever so slightly. Stefan's eyes fall onto her rosy plump lips; closing his eyes he leans in further caressing her upper lip. Caroline's eyes flutter down and follows in the movements Stefan has set out. His tongue licks the area of her bottom lip silently asking for access into her mouth. Her lips part away slowly and gently Stefan dabs Caroline tongue. Their mouths move deeper into each other; consuming one another's desires. The kiss becomes more heated when Stefan nips Caroline's upper lip; her hands start to tug the soft strands of his dark blonde hair in a hungry faze. They both are consumed with desire and want.
Stefan leaves her lips and kisses up to her jaw line earning a soft moan from Caroline's throat. He looks down at Caroline and recaptures her lips. The moment is devouring for both of them, still Caroline can't take advantage of Stefan like this. She pushes his head away from her face; fixedly at the sight of his lips. She wants to continue this sweet moment but she has to do the right thing. "We- I can't do this", Caroline confesses quietly. Stefan simply looks at her; eyes dark full of lust.
"No, this is what we both want", Stefan breaths deeply.
"I don't want this", Caroline lies as she glares into his eyes. Before he can reply she pushes his body away from hers and takes off.
Stefan sits on ground angry at himself. Why did I do it?! I shouldn't have kissed her.
Rolling in the deep by Adele are the lyrics used to explain Caroline's situation with Tyler. I wanted to show how Caroline brings herself together after the break up.
OMG finally Stefan and Caroline kiss! Wonder what will happen to them at the ball...
