Last time on Soccer Punk we find Caroline and Klaus having an amazing day together before her mom comes home and everything soon turned to hell. So now it continues. FYI I'm thinking most of you guys won't like this chapter but it's all part of the story. Oups... Enjoy anyway :)
I wake up with my pillow still wet from the tears I had shed the night before. I take out my phone and text Klaus. 'Meetup? Need to talk.' That could have been the worse things to say but what else could I have texted him to make things any easier.
'Alright,' he replies. 'I will meet you at the cafe in 5 minutes.'
I grab my purse I head there as fast as I could so he wouldn't pay for me again. But as soon as I get there he had already arrived.
"Caroline, are you alright? You seemed a bit weird in your text."
"Well my mom and I got into an intense argument."
"Yeah that was crazy but I can't blame her for protecting you against the old me," he takes my hand and holds it up to his heart. "But I know we have something special."
"I did too," I reply and hang my head down.
"Did? What do you mean love?"
It's hard for me to continue but I do anyway. "It's time to stop this."
"No Caroline please."
"Can we please talk outside? Go for a walk?"
"Sure, why not." We go outside and walk on the track going around the soccer feild.
"Klaus I'm sorry. It's just we are two different people and it doesn't work out."
"Damon and Elena did. There are doing great and so are we." He stops walking then grabs my waist and holds me close. "Caroline do not doubt that even if you do this I will never let go. Remember this feeling of me holding you and the kisses we shared. You do not have to base you decisions on everyone else."
I pull away from him, "No Klaus I think it's time for me to leave."
"Caroline please," he attempts to grab my hand but I pull away.
"We are two different people. Everyone just expects too much from both of us." I start walking again. "I can't take the pressure!"
"Please Caroline? Don't leave." He finally gets a hold of my hand.
"I have to go. Just leave me alone." I let go of his hand and I start walking away holding back my tears and desperately trying to not look back. This is what had to be done, it was either going to happen now or when he broke my heart. It was better this way.
I finally got home and started crying my eyes out on the nearest pillow I could find in my room. It wasn't support to be this way but it was the best thing for me or so my mother said. My heart hurt so much I couldn't take the pain it was too much for me to handle.
I call Bonnie for some comfort.
"Hey Caroline, what's up?" She says as if she is not in the mood to talk to me but I continue the conversation anyway.
"I broke it off with Klaus." I say while my nose is still stuffed and tears come down my face from crying.
"Caroline you sound heart broken. I told you he was going to hurt you! Next thing we know the same thing is happening to Elena."
"No he didn't hurt me. I broke it off because you and my mom always do what is best for me. Now I listened but I'm not so sure if it was the right thing to do."
"Of course it was. You are two totally different people, it would have never worked out. Caroline you are a beautiful and amazing ballet dancer that has been working her whole life to achieve perfection. Meanwhile Klaus was just a nitwit that kicks around a ball and acts like an asshole. You were way too good for him and he is probably at home now realizing that he is nothing compared to you."
Although I did not see that the way she did it was obvious that the rest of the world thought so too.
"You're right." I say even though I don't think so. "Thank you for looking out for me." I hang up the phone.
"Geez that phone call did not make me feel better." I say to myself.
Soon enough I get a text from Elena. 'Meet at my place. Need 2 talk :/'
Oh no, was Bonnie right? Was Elena hurt my Damon? I cleanup my face and head straight to her house. I run over to Elena's house and knock on the door impatiently.
"Elena, what the hell is going on?" I ask her then I get a strange punch on my right arm. "Ouch!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?" she yells at me furiously. "Damon keeps texting me because he is with Klaus right now. Poor Klaus is heartbroken."
"Really Elena? This is the reason why you called me over? We couldn't have talked on the phone?" I ask like nothing that she just said mattered.
"Caroline, are you not listening to me. Look at these texts." she scrolls through the text.
'He doesn't know what he did wrong.'
'He is upset and doesn't know what to do next.'
'Get Caroline to give you answers!'
'The poor guy is heartbroken over here.'
"Oh shit," I accidently say out loud.
"Yeah Caroline," she puts her phone away. "Why?"
We enter her house, go upstairs then sit on her bed.
"Because we are two different people and I was too much of an idiot that I did not realize it before."
"Are you kidding? You guys are awesome, I have never seen two people connect as fast as you guys did. And you know I will not take that as a reasonable answer."
"Alright you want to know why?" I close my eyes for a brief second then open them again. "It's because everyone else say that. That he is a bad guy and that will never change, that he's not good enough for me and that the fact that he will eventually break my heart. It's all there Elena, I'm just finally listening."
"No Caroline," she grabs my face so I look into her eyes, "listen to me now. You need to fix this thing with Klaus. You shouldn't listen to what other people say just block it out. Hey if it helps block me out to, if it gets you to listen to yourself and follow your heart. I know you have a thing for Klaus and he to you but this whole playing hard to get thing that's going on should not have even started. You are a beautiful and amazing person but life cannot always be perfect. You have to let in the bumps and the cracks in order to know what life and love is really about."
"Well Klaus and I will never have that. I've gotten over that and so should you."
"How about Klaus? Does it matter how he feels? How do you feel?"
"I'm angry, sad, confused but all of it no longer matters. Klaus will get over it and life a life with some other girl that he can use. So no, it doesn't matter how he feels because I was only a small useless part of his life. If that is all you wanted to talk about I'm going to go home."
"No, you're going to see Klaus and straighten this whole thing out."
"No I'm not because I'd rather not fall too deep like how you have." Elena's mouth drops I'm shock of what I just said but instead of stopping I continue. "When he breaks your heart into a million pieces I will be there to help pick it up because I am a good friend. And I don't set you up to be hurt."
I pick up my purse and leave the house. I regret most of what I said but it was too late now and it was time to forget. When I finally go home I just ate and chilled on the couch. I watched a movie and went on the Internet. It was like this for a couple of weeks I rarely talked to anyone and when someone tried to call me I wouldn't answer. I haven't gotten any calls from Klaus, I suppose it is a good thing.
I soon enough hear a knock on the door. Klaus? Shit was that him? I get up and open the door to see Tyler. I haven't seen him since the first day I met Klaus.
"Hey Tyler, what's up?" I say annoyingly.
"Hey I was hoping we could hang out. What do you say?"
I'm speechless. I really do not know what to say at this point. Did Tyler Lockwood just ask me out? But what had happened with Klaus cannot help itself from popping up in my head.
"I don't know Tyler I mean we aren't that close and I'm not really looking for anything." I truthfully say.
"I understand," I know he doesn't, "but just join me this one time then you can make the decision for a second date or not."
You know what fine, "Sure why not. Where would we go?"
"How about the art gallery? We can see great art and talk."
"Okay sure. When?" I ask just waiting for the moment to close the door.
"How about tomorrow afternoon? I will pick you up at 3 and we will go." he suddenly obtains a large smile on his face.
"Looks like I have just made your day."
"No," he says then I look at him confused. "You have made my whole life worth living."
"Oh," I accidentally say out loud. "You are so sweet. So I will see you tomorrow afternoon than?"
"Yes of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
With that he walked away and went back into his car. I'm shocked that he even drove here. Klaus literally lived 3 blocks away from me, there was no point to a car ride here. Whatever all I know is I am going out tomorrow with Tyler Lockwood... to an art gallery... yay? Oh gosh how will Klaus react to this. He never really liked Tyler in the first place because Tyler is a snobby rich kid who has daddy issues. So how will Klaus feel with this whole date thing and why can I not get him out of my head? Geez Caroline what did you get yourself into...
Looks like Mr. Lockwood really has the hots for Ms. Forbes. But we can clearly see it is not returned. What do you think might happen next? How do you think Klaus is doing two weeks after the 'break up?' You guys will know more when the next chapter comes out. I hope you guys enjoyed that weird chapter and I hope I will be able to post again soon. Love you guys :)
