"It's time." Klaus said. They were finally leaving Spain. Caroline felt sad for leaving that beautiful place and the life that came with it, but she knew she had to. Klaus drove all the way to the airport in silence. Caroline kept staring at the window, saying goodbye to the landscapes and to the moments she had. Also saying goodbye to Klaus somehow, because she knew that when she got back in Mystic Falls she could never date him. Not after everything he had done. She was determinated to forget him, no matter what it takes.
"Are you okay?" He asked her, noticing her silence.
"Yeah" She whispered, then, driving her look out of the window and facing Klaus' look, she continued, "I'm just saing goodbye.", she said.
"We can come back anytime." Klaus smiled, saying that in a try to make Caroline happier. The girl smiled, knowing that he wasn't entirely kidding, but happy at the same time because she knew he was only trying to make her feel better.
"Oh, reality..." Caroline whispered to herself. "How am I gonna tell Stefan everything? Oh, he'll be devasted." She talked to herself, almost forgetting that Klaus was right next to her. He didn't say anything. Suddenly the car started to stop and Caroline saw that they were already at the airport. Klaus opened the car's door for her and started to pick the bags.
"Why don't you go buy something to eat while I return the car?" He smiled. She whispered a slight "ok" and smiled.
While getting coffee Caroline saw this couple, which seamed to be just married, laughing at each other. She remembered of Tyler at that moment and felt so bad for him. Stefan and Elena didn't give her any news about him and she missed him so much. A part of her believed he would never come back to Mystic Falls again, but she didn't know if that could really happen or if she wanted to belive that because she knew that if he came back, she wouldn't be with him again. She couldn't tell Tyler about sleeping with Klaus, could she?... And if she told him, how do you tell something like that to a person who just lost his mom and, automatically, just became orphan?
"Love?" She felt Klaus' hand in her neck. She shaked her head a little bit.
"Hey, I was just thinking..." He smiled
"Let's go." The girl said 'yes' with her head and they went to the airplane.
Caroline was starting to feel worried for getting back and to face the consequences of her actions. She started to drift away while she was in the plane with Klaus by her side. Seeing what Caroline was feeling and trying to make her feel better he put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her hair. Surprisingly, Caroline didn't repulse him or seamed bothered. He smiled and the girl warmed herself in his chest.
"Everything will be fine, love, you'll see."
"It's easy for you to say, you don't have a sired-best-friend and a hopeless-one-hundred-years-old-vampire to deal with." Klaus laughed of Caroline and kissed her hair again. The girl laughed sadly again, "I'm so lost, everything is just so... Wrong" Caroline said 'wrong' a little worried because that 'wrong' was also refering to Klaus. He noticed that and waited a moment before saying anything.
"You know, Caroline, everytime a chef changes a recipe, he is, somehow, doing it wrong. But that's how the new recipes are made..." He smiled, kidding about his example. Caroline laughed at him.
"Seriously, that was the worse metaphore ever." She laughed and so did he, "But thanks.", she changed her expression to a very sweet look. Klaus remained looking at her then he started to aproach his face, about to kiss her and Caroline remained still for a second. He came closer and then the girl drifted away.
"I'm sorry... I just can't right now." She said, looking at him, even though she could not see him, because he looked down. Then he looked at her again, "It's ok." She felt a awkward mood, so she looked at the other side and then, after a while, the girl felt asleep.

Caroline started to open her eyes and saw the airplane's window. She looked at the other side and didn't saw Klaus there. She picked this little mirror in her bag and started to look at herself for a moment and, somehow, she didn't recognized herself in the mirror. Not because she had a different hair or anything, but because she was so changed inside... And even though she knew her outside couldn't change at all she wasn't the same. She suddenly saw Klaus coming at his sit with a glass of champagne.
"Do you want some?" He asked and the girl said a polite 'no' with her head. "We are almost there." Caroline then looked at the window again and realized the plane was staring to take off.
