Bonnie twitched her thumbs nervously. She has to tell Caroline. She had to. She kept repeating those words, like a mantra, willing them to work. And they did…almost. Before she could change her mind, she knocked on the door.
The door opened and there stood Caroline. "Hi Bonnie!" she said cheerfully but Bonnie could see from her red eyes the blonde vampire had been crying in her room. Another pang of guilt hit Bonnie. "What brings you here?"
"Caroline…I need to tell you something. Something about Tyler."
"No Bonnie. I don't want to talk about Tyler. It… hurts…" Caroline spoke slowly because if she spoke too fast, all the words she had been hiding from her friends would come spiralling out of her mouth before she could stop them. "Caroline, Tyler is-" Before Bonnie could finish her sentence, Caroline felt a presence of someone. Someone familiar. It reminded her of chocolate and perfume and popcorn and movies and rainbows…and Tyler.
"Tyler?" exclaimed Caroline. She was too shocked to move and could barely say that one word because there in front of her stood the man she loved, had cried over and missed terribly: Tyler Lockwood.
