"If you're going through hell, keep going." -Winston Churchill
Going to school meant pure embarrassment and harassment. It meant another day at school with a terrible person named Marcel, who replaced Klaus. Marcel told us to call him Marcel, not Mr. He overall seems nice. But any replacement of Klaus I don't like. Klaus. Just thinking of Klaus makes me want to call him, beg him to take me back saying we should try again. We promised each other we wouldn't give up... and he gave up anyway. I immediately think of a quote from my favorite book, The Fault in our Stars by John Green , "Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," Then I think of the quote that is said right after that quote, "Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."
I am planning a way to make sure that he regrets deciding not to keep the promise. Even though I know deep down he didn't break a promise, not really: he simply broke up with me. He didn't give up on me. For all I know he could be planning to get back together with me. But I want to make sure he regrets ever leaving me even if he practically had to.
I want to make Klaus jealous. It should be easy enough. He was overprotective as it is... but maybe if he sees me with another person, especially a person who is no good to me, he will explain that he wants me back now.
I smirk and I know just the right guy. I pull out my phone and call Elijah.
"Hello? Caroline?" Elijah asks, he seems to be surprised.
"Hey, Elijah."
"To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Klaus has told me about one of your other brothers, Kol. Is Kol busy tonight?" I try and sound like I'm not up to no good but it shouldn't be too hard to tell that I am. Klaus said Kol was reckless and only had one night stands.
"Um, no I don't think so. May I ask, what is this about?"
"Well, I wanted to.."
"To make Klaus jealous." Elijah states.
"Yes... but I won't do anything with Kol.. I promise I just-"
"I'll give Kol your number. Klaus has been a train wreck lately. He's been drunk all the time and at night he walks around his room shouting random words. Klaus is an angry drunk person. He can't control his temper. If you think by going with Kol will make Klaus jealous, by all means. Do it."
Klaus has been drinking? Worry flashes across my face. So he must be having a hard too, "Thank you Elijah. Have Kol call me right away."
"Always a pleasure Caroline." I hang up after that and lay back on my bed. Right now is spring break, only nine more weeks of school after this. MY goal is to get Klaus back by the end of the week. My phone rings again and I answer.
"Hello?" I ask, knowing already it is Kol.
"So I heard a hot blonde needs my help to get my drunk brother jealous. I mean, I love annoying the hell out of my family so... I'm in." His accent is just like Klaus and Elijah's except younger. Klaus said Kol is in my grade, he just goes to a different school I forgot the name of. Klaus' sister, Rebekah is a year older than me. According to Klaus she is a 'very bratty and bossy' but she has a sweet side too her.
"Thank you!" I squeal in excitement, even if he doesn't get back together with me this will sure get under his skin.
"When do you want to meet up?"
"Your house, when is Klaus normally home?" I ask biting my nail.
"He is home twenty four seven! I'll make sure he answers the door. Wear something sexy. Come at seven. If just by opening the door doesn't get Klaus to came back with you maybe we could go to the club and at least have some fun tonight anyway."
"Club? Neither of us can get into a club!"
"You obviously never met Kol Mikaelson. He is the club." Kol says sounding cocky.
"Okay. Okay. See you at seven."
"See you at seven." I hangout up after that and breathe out through my nose. What the hell am I doing? Getting your man back, I say in my head.

I decided to wear a very short (barely covers my ass) black strapless dress leather dress. I borrowed it from Bonnie, she wants me to get my man back just as much as I do. The low cut shows the perfect amount of cleavage and the bottom makes my ass look sexy. I straighten my hair, trying to go with something different. Klaus told me one night he liked my hair straight so I'm going to use that against him. Once I am satisfied with my look I pull out the directions to Elijah's house that he emailed me. I type the address into the GPS on my phone at it says it will be a twenty minute drive. It's six thirty so I should make it early.
About fifteen minutes into the drive I hear the song Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. A sad smile spreads across my face at the memory of Klaus and I singing to this song off pitch in his car. God I miss that. I didn't even know I could have that much fun and it was so romantic when he took my horse back riding.I shake the memory out of my head, I don't want to cry it would ruin my smoky eye makeup that Bonnie spent a while doing.
When I arrive at the house- excuse me the mansion. My jaw drops. It is massive and elegant. I remember Klaus saying that Elijah had a lot of money.. but damn this is not what I expected. But what else could I expect? It's Elijah after all. He is always fancy and over the top. I can't help but feel self conscious. I imagine everything being rare and beautiful... yet here I am: a normal small town girl from Virginia. I'm not the prettiest girl in Mystic Falls, I already know this. I almost don't feel like I should be going into a house this perfect. But I shrug off my insecurity and walk to the door. It has a full set of stairs (fourteen steps) just to lead to the front door making it hard to walk in the four inch heels I picked out.
Once I make it to the top of the stairs I let out a nervous breathe and ring the door bell once. Even though I only rang it once it went into a harmony of rings, I assume Elijah's touch to the house.
"Kol I believe your play thing is year!" A voice shouts from behind the door. Not just a voice, Klaus' voice. Oh, he has no idea it's me.
"I'm not ready yet invite her in!" I recognize this as Kol's voice.
I hear Klaus groan and open the front door, "Kol will be down in a min-" Klaus stops talking when he sees me. He has a beer bottle in one hand and the door handle in the other.
"Um, hey Mr. Mikaelson. I'm here for Kol." I say innocently.
Klaus grabs my arm and starts gently dragging me down the stairs, "Ha, no you are not."
"Mr. Mikaelson, let go of me!" I say trying to fight from his grasp.
"I thought I told you to call me Klaus." He says while we reach the bottom of the steps. "What are you doing here? Really?"
"I'm hear to go to the club with Kol." I lie, I'm here for you.
"No way in hell am I letting you go to a club. Especially with Kol." Klaus says while letting go of my arm. I rub the stop sorely, he grips hard when he is mad.
"Well, you broke up with me. I'm single and I want to have fun."
"Sweetheart.. he will try to get into your pants." Klaus whispers, he is giving me that begging look. It is taking all my effort not to lean into him and cuddle with him.
"Then I guess I'm getting lucky tonight." I say and Klaus' face is priceless. Little does he know that no way am I having sex with Kol.
"No, I'm taking you home. Give me your car keys." Klaus says holding out his hand for me to give it to him.
"Klaus this is hard on me too. Okay? I can't go anywhere without people laughing or calling me a slut. I'm tired of feeling alone, okay? This is me trying to feel wanted and from what I heard you have your own methods." I point to the bottle of whisky.
"Dammit Caroline! I still love you! Okay? Is that what you came here to hear? That I'm going through hell just like you? Or do you want me to feel even worse about what I did then I already do? Fine I feel like shit. I miss my girlfriend. I miss calling her mine. I miss her! I fucking miss her. But this," Klaus points at me, "isn't her."
"Klaus, this is me! I'm an insecure bitch that just wants her boyfriend back!" I start shouting at him. "You know what. Bullshit. That's what you are! Dammit! Klaus, do you think I wore this to impress Kol? Or to get lucky? No. I came here because I love you and you promised you wouldn't give up on us! And dammit you gave up on us!"
"Caroline I-"
"I'm not finished-"
"Caroline. I didn't give up on us, dammit! This was all for you, Caroline! All of it! Giving up indicates that I wasn't going to go back to you. I just- I just need to set things straight with Tyler. I need to make sure that if I come back to you people will stop harassing you. Caroline we're the same."
"We're the same?"
Before Klaus reply's another car pulls into the driveway, a car I recognize as Tyler's. Tyler steps out of the car and looks at Klaus, "You wanted to see me?"
Wow! Okay I don't think I've ever gotten so many reviews on one chapter! Thank you! Next chapter will be Klaus' point of view! Sorry if any of you were hoping for a quick get back together... as you all know both of them are stubborn. Anyway you didn't think Klaus was going to let Tyler get away with it did you ;)
