Author's Note:

Hey Guys! This chapter is pretty short in comparison to all the previous ones but I just really wanted to update so I really hope that you guys will enjoy it! I am hopefully going to write another chapter of this tonight on Caroline's thoughts straight after her conversation with Klaus when he gets out so that should be uploaded either tonight or tomorrow sometime too.

This chapter is basically all about what I think Klaus was thinking when Tyler and Caroline were having their little farewell and you guys should know that I will always be for Klaroline, but I have to admit that their goodbye scene was extremely emotional. As much as I am sad for Caroline, I am also extremely happy because it finally means KLAUS AND CAROLINE TIME! WOOOO! Ahahaa! Anyway I hope you guys enjoy and please review because I love hearing all your opinions! xxxxxxxx


He could hear their voices clearly through the silence of the Gilbert house. Being a thousand years old had certainly made his hearing abilities much better than any other vampires.

"How many times are we going to have to say goodbye?" He heard her sniffle and sigh with sadness and for that he truly did feel bad.

"At least this time, we have a minute to do it the right way." Klaus blandly wondered how many times he had actually left Caroline now and how she could still carry on taking him back.

"There isn't a right way." He didn't need to see her to know that she was crying. Her voice shuddered with sadness and it truly broke his heart to hear her and imagine her in such a state.

"This isn't goodbye… This is… until we find a way." As much as he loathed the Lockwood boy, he admired his hope that in the end, love would conquer all. But after living through a thousand years, Klaus knew that love could not defeat everything.

"We're immortal remember? We will find a way." He knew it was wrong and petty but he wanted nothing more than to shout out to both of them that there would be no way. He wouldn't allow there to be a way for them to be together.

"What if we don't…?" The lack of hope was clear in her voice and Klaus felt a sting in his undead heart. He never wanted her to lose hope. That was something he couldn't allow to happen to Caroline. She had so much light within her that was just urging to be released but he couldn't understand why she so easily dimmed it just to stay with her 'so-called' friends in this small one-pony town.

"Tell me that you'll never think of me again. Tell me that you'll forget about me. Tell me that you're going to go and live a full and happy life without me." He could hear her voice trembling from trying to keep the tears in. He wished that he could be the one to comfort her but he knew that he was to blame for all that has happened.

"I will live a happy life without you. I will forget all about you. And I will never, ever, think about you again." The sounds of her cries were evident but yet, she still managed to pull a strangled laugh out of her throat. He wondered briefly how she could still try and put a little humour into this situation and he had to hand it to Tyler. His farewell to her was quite beautiful.

The sound of their lips upon each other tore at him. He wished that she could see that he wasn't forcing Tyler out for any reason, but that he was simply taking an eye for an eye. What he didn't tell her was that, yes, Tyler had taken away his Hybrid army from him but it was much more than just that. For once in his life, he wanted to feel like he belonged to a family. He wanted to feel a part of something where he was accepted and he was no longer just the half-breed bastard son his 'so-called' father always told him he was. Tyler took away all of that and now, half of his true family were also dead. He was forever doomed to be alone. What had he done to deserve such a miserable life? Their voices broke his train of thought once again as he listened in.

"Until we find a way?" He heard her sweet voice say. There was no reply to that but he assumed that Tyler must have nodded or something because he then heard the faint sound of kisses again.

Her cries grew louder as he heard Tyler's distinct footsteps disappear into the distance and her cries echoed through the house, and through his mind, long after those footsteps were gone. He wished he could comfort her and tell her that in a century's time, she probably wouldn't even care anymore, but he knew better. He knew that in her mind that he was the reason why Tyler was leaving her now. He was sad for Caroline. Not the fact that Tyler, her 'true-love', was now gone, but the fact that she couldn't see how insignificant he would be in her life eventually.

Deep down, he longed for something with Caroline that would totally make her forget about everything in Mystic Falls. He wished that she would accept him for all the good, and the bad, that he was but he also knew that she needed time and if anything, he was certainly a patient man. He had been waiting for the return of the doppelganger for about 500 years afterall. So he would wait for her because he knew that she was worth it.
