Last time on Soccer Punk we saw Caroline going through with her decision to break it off with Klaus. As I said, not a lot of you were going to like that chapter but I got a lot of amazing reviews and ideas. The characters are from The Vampire Diaries but the story is my creation. So now it continues...

I received a poor nights sleep and wake up the next day. The lack of sleep was probably karma telling me that I was wrong to go on this date with Tyler. But I had already agreed and it was too late. I was going to continue my day as I always did but today I decided to work on the ballet choreography that we had worked on in class. As I step through the doors of the studio I find Tyler playing the piano. He notices me when I take a step forward.

"Hey," he says.

"Hey back," I reply. "What are you doing here? I haven't seen you here in a while."

"Well I figured I should practice seeing that I am playing for your recital."

"Right, well good luck with that. I'm going to practise elsewhere, I will see you tonight."

"Alright," he says then continues to play.

Wow he didn't even put up a fight. I forgot about practicing and just headed home. This is going to be one disappointing day. I head home for a time of going on the internet and chilling out. At least that is what I was doing before I had to get dressed. I am dressed waiting for Tyler to come but he is already in half an hour late. I wait a little while longer when I finally heard a knocking on the door. Finally it was already 3:45 pm. I open the door not to see Tyler but to see Klaus.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him as I am shocked to see him in a suit.

"I have been disappointed for days now to have not received a call or any type of contact from you. So I decided to come over and show you why you had chosen me in the first place." Klaus smiles but behind his head I see Tyler pull up in his car and come towards the door.

"Well that is sweet but I kind of have other plans," I say. Klaus turned around to see Tyler and his face turns from happy to disappointed. "I am sorry but we both knew that we were never going to work out."

"No love, you thought that." He says then turns around and walks away. "Nice to see you Tyler," he looks back towards me, "treat her well."

"I will," he responds. "Sorry I'm a little late."

"Tyler, you were supposed to pick me up at 3. What happened?"

"You know the usual." No I don't but I decided not to even bother questioning it. "Lets go then?"

"Sure."

"Where are you guys headed?" Klaus interrupts. "My curiosity gets the best of me."

"We are going to the art gallery." Tyler says as if he is annoyed.
"Well we should go," I say. "Goodbye Klaus." I link arms with Tyler as we head to his car and drive off while Klaus still stood there at the steps of my porch.

"So what was Klaus Mikaelson doing at your house anyway?"

"I don't know," I lie. "I was just waiting for you when he passed by."

"Are you friends with him or something?" he says with mad and yet also confused expression.

"No, we just met a few times before but we never got close." I lie again.

"So are you excited?"

"Yeah," once again I lie. Not that I do not love art, I am just not completely thrilled that I will be there with Tyler.

We drive the rest of the way in silence. When we finally arrive I am breathless from the site of all the amazing art.

"It's beautiful," I say with an open smile.

"Almost as beautiful as you," Tyler responds.

"Thank you."

The rest of the date was boring. It is amazing to see all the beautiful art but it's not exactly a place for a first date. Plus Tyler knew nothing about art and the expression behind it. It wasn't until I saw one piece that really caught my attention.

It was a gorgeous painting called "My Love" It was a painting of a woman with long blond wavy hair and she is in the frame with a horse. There is no known artist, the painting is labeled anonymous. It was painted and put into the museum about a month ago. The woman is stunning she looked poised and happy.

"She almost looks like you." Tyler pointed out.

Oh my god, she does. "But why would a painting of me be here and who would have done it.

The thought bugs me for the rest of the day. At around 8pm, Tyler and I call it a night and I he drove me home. It only took about two seconds for my doorbell to ring again.

I go and open the door. "Tyler I thought..." but it wasn't Tyler. "Klaus, twice in one day. What's going on?"

"I just had to see you. I was surprised to hear that you were going to the art gallery. I do some paintings myself. Did you see anything interesting? Maybe a painting like this." Klaus passes me a rolled up piece of paper. When I unravel it I see a sketched that matched the painting but this one had more features on the woman's face.

"Tyler was right," I say. "The woman does look like me."

"The beautiful woman in it is you. My love." My body shivers and I have goosebumps easy seen throughout my arms. "Caroline I wanted to see you this morning to tell you something."

"Oh, what's up?"

"I had much time to think," he enters the house. "I though about us and what you had said. I just want you to know that I don't care about what other people think of me or us.

He closes the door behind him. "Caroline," I puts his head down. "I fancy you. Caroline. In fact, I am in love with you."

"I... I..." I fall silent. "I'm with Tyler."

"Now that is a lie and you know it." It was but I dare not to admit it. I just can't. "Why do you care about what others think of you? Of us?"

"I don't," I say.

"There! Right there is another lie. Why do you feel you should fall prey to what society feels is right? Because all I want to do is be with you and no one can change my mind about the that."

"How about you? When did you sketch this picture? The one in the museum was painted a month ago." I say realized how truly confused I was about this whole situation.

"The first time I met you was not the first time I saw you. I remember that day with a clearly. You were with Elena at farm where I was volunteering and you couldn't get away from the horses. You were just sunning. So when I went home I drew this sketch, next thing I knew I started painting. I sold it to make some extra cash but I never claimed it as my own."

"Oh," Geez I really am not sure what to say. I am unable to look up at him, all I can see now is the sketch in my hand.

"Even if everyone says we can't be together. I know that inside you, you are not worried about what everyone else thinks and I know deep down you long to have your perfect feather ruffled. You want this to happen... For us to happen." His arm wrapped around my waist and I couldn't help but fall into his grasp.

"I do," I finally say out loud. "I love you and I haven't stopped thinking about the day I told you to leave me alone. I regretted it and I missed you. I can't live without you Klaus." I let go of him and meet his gaze. "I just can't."

I lean in and kiss him upon his always soft red lips. I smile with the kiss, and allow him axis to explore my mouth and he takes it. I love this feeling that passes through me with every kiss and every touch we share. But then we both pull apart.

"Well I am aware that your mother should be home very soon. So I may have to take off before she arrives."

"Good idea," I pull away from a smile.

He opens the door, "I love you."

"I love you too," I say then close the door.

And here I thought that today was going to be a boring. I start giggling to myself. Today might had started bad but it ended on a good note. Elena will be thrilled, my mother and Bonnie will be pissed, as for Tyler I'm not exactly sure.

Oh well, you know what? Klaus was right, I should not care and now I don't. I just hope everyone will understand my choice and respect it. I want to be with him and I know he wants to be with me. Everything finally becomes clear to me and I know inside that everything will be okay.

Thank you for reading and I known that you guys liked this chapter better than the last ;) It was about time that Caroline admits her feelings towards Klaus. Now that Caroline is aware of how she feels how will she deal with the pressure of her friends and family? Guess you will have to wait :) Thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoyed.
