Chapter 2: If It Kills Me

"Well, all I really want to do is to love you

A kind much more than friends use

But I still can't say it after all we've been through."

"I can't believe, there are two guys into you and yet you are single on Valentines Day." Bonnie mucked Caroline. Caroline was on the phone with Bonnie, after all they had been through it was very easy for themto continue their friendship.

"Hey, you told me to stay away from guys for a while, remember ?" Caroline defended herself.

"Yes, but it's still ironic. So, are you coming to the Valentines Party at grill?"

"Um, no." Caroline said. "My plan is to watch Notebook with Ben&Jerry's."

"You should come!" Bonnie said. "Be a little social, it would be fun."

"Not for me, Matt will be there." she said with a sigh.

"Caroline, you will have to talk to him someday." Bonnie said.

"Uh, okay. I need to talk to him anyway." Caroline being a social butterfly actually wanted to go so she didn't fight Bonnie. "But you and Elena are coming to my place to get ready, ok ?"

"And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me"

Tyler was devastated because of Caroline's reaction to his words buut he knew she was right. Seeing her again made his feelings grow. He wasn't able to get her out of his mind. He knew that he had to find a way to talk to her again, he had to make her listen, he had to make her forgive him and he had to make her his. He was walking to grill hoping to see Caroline there, he didn't had enough courage to go to her house. As he was entered the grill, Elena was leaving.

"Elena!" Tyler called out her name with a smile.

"Oh,hi." Elena said with a slightly cold voice.

"Umm..." Tyler looked down. "How are you?" he asked actually wanting to ask how Caroline is, did she say anything about him, where was she ?

"Fine." Elena shrugged.

"You know, I'm really sorry." He felt like he had to apologize from everyone related to Caroline.

"I'm not the one who you should apologize to, Tyler." Elena said

"I know..." Tyler mumbled.

"I got to go. Caroline is waiting, I'm gonna help her get ready for the Valetines day party." Elena said and left.

He had absoultely forgotten that it was Valentines day, he looked around and saw the ad for the party right next to the door. Elena had given him an idea, he was going to talk to Caroline tonight. Just thinking about it he had an excitement rush. Seeing Caroline, seeing her smile, feeling her scent. He still wasn't able to smell out the vampire, all he could smell was Caroline's parfume when she was around. He saw Matt staring at him giving him an cold look. He ignored it and left the grill to get ready. The party was at grill that meant Matt would be there too, he had to talk to Caroline before Matt did. He didn't want to lose Caroline, he had felt something real, something exciting, something that burns him up from toe to head. He had to find a way to her.

That night at party, Tyler was stading in a corner his eyes searching for Caroline. He saw Elena and Stefan make an appearance, after a while he saw Damon with a chick he doesn't know. He kept waiting for Caroline. Just when he was about to lose hope, Caroline entered the grill with Bonnie and Jeremy.

He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw her. He couldn't take his eyes off of her and Caroline's blue eyes met his dark eyes. She immidiately looked away and whispered something in Bonnie's ear, Bonnie looked over at him. He gave Bonnie a nod, Bonnie turned her head away. Tyler decided to wait until she was alone. He still didn't know how to make her listen him. He just hoped that her anger was fading.

When Caroline saw Tyler looking at her, she forced herself to look away from his eyes. His eyes were the reminder to her that feeling that way about Tyler was wrong, his eyes were so dark like they were endless. She had to look away. After a while she spotted Matt, she take a deep breathe and gained courage to talk to him.

"Hey, Matt..." she smiled at him. Matt didn't answer.

"Happy Valentine's Day !" she said with a cute grin.

"You too, Care." Matt said.

"Umm, I .. We should talk." she said.

"Let's not. You are just going to lie to me."

"I..I'm not!" That was all Caroline could say, she was shocked.

"I know you were not with Bonnie when I called you."

Caroline had nothing to say, she couldn't find an excuse to cover this up.

"If you are dating Tyler, don't lie to me about it."

"There's nothing going on with me and Tyler." Caroline snapped.

"Another lie..." Matt murmured. "I saw him walking to your place last night, Care."

"But, there is nothing- Wait, what you saw him? But he came just after I hang up the phone after talking to you."

"I was at grill while I was talking to you. So he came twice." Matt said.

"Matt..." Caroline was cut in by Matt.

"Enough, Care." Matt walked away leaving Caroline behind him.

"If I should be so bold, I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again."

Tyler was on his way to talk to Caroline when he saw her talking to Matt. He wanted to go there and break their talk but he wanted his conversation with her to be right. When Matt walked away he saw Caroline walking to an isolated

corner. He followed her. When his eyes met Caroline's she get up to leave but Tyler hold her arm. "Don't leave." he said almost begging,his eyes not leaving hers.

"I told you to leave me alone!" Caroline exclaimed.

"Just please listen to me." he said losening his grip on her arm.

Caroline sighed. "You have one minute."

Tyler smiled with victory and relief.

"Okay" he sighed. "First of all, I'm sorry." he said looking into her eyes.

"I.. I didn't know what to do. I was scared. I was confused. I am new at this whole supernatural stuff."

Caroline opened her mouth but Tyler continued.

"You are the only one who understand what I'm going through. But you are right, I should have been there for you." he said.

"You cared about me and I'm such an idiot to lose that." he said as his eyes moving to her lips.

"How long can I go on like this, wishing to kiss you
Before I rightly explode."

"I care about you too Caroline. I need you." he said and lean in to kiss her.

Caroline know that he was going to kiss her but she didn't move. He lightly pressed his lips to hers and started to kiss her his one had still on her arm, his other hand went to her check. Caroline kissed him back. She couldn't fight her feelings. Her hand went to his hair. Their kiss was almost same like the first one but this time it had so much more feeling. It took few seconds to Caroline to understand what she is doing. She pushed him back with all her strenght. "Never do that again !" she yelled to him.

Tyler was confused. He was sure that she kissed him back he could still feel her lips on his. He looked at her with blank eyes while Caroline had her arms on her hips. He turned around and walked away. As he walked away rejection hit him. Anger captured his body. He saw Matt walking to Caroline. "Matt!" he yelled.

"What, Tyler ?" Matt answered with frustration

"About last night..." Tyler begin

"I don't have time for this, man. I'm gonna go talk to Care."

"It's not a good time for it, buddy." Tyler said, trying to prevent Matt talking to her.

"Since when do you get to talk to her and I don't ?" Matt asked with anger.

Tyler had have enough.

"Since we kissed !" he exclaimed.

Matt punched him.

Meanwhile, Caroline was sitting on a chair at the isolated corner, she didn't leave. She put her fingers on her lips softly brushing them, she closed her eyes

replaying their kiss in her mind.

"And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me, if it kills me
It might kill me"
