Chapter 2;

I got into my best attire to present myself to Caroline. I knew I would have the hardest time to impress her, but I was ready to try my damnedest. The clock on the wall in the den read 7:45 in the evening.

I caught glances at Rebekah, who kept passing through the hallway gazing at my every move. I knew she was angry with me, but for once she needs to respect my actions and cause.

I wanted this to be special, but in my past I wasn't very good at making things special. I walked outside to the special ride I had prepared for Caroline. My heart kind of fluttered when I would think of her. I sat in the seat and went on my way to Caroline's house. I was nervous that she would stand me up or just not answer the door.

Caroline's POV;

"I don't want to go on a stupid date with him!" I vented to Elena. She watched me as I tossed clothes from my closet everywhere in my room. "Then don't," Elena shrugged. I sneered not even looking at her.

Why was it so hard to just say no? What is holding me back?

My mind was made up, I was going, and things might change, or stay the same. "Caroline, seriously, don't even invite him in, just let me go down there and tell him you aren't feeling well," Elena answered simply.

Yeah, this is so easy for Elena. SO EASY. This might be one of the hardest things I have ever done. He's like a disease to myself and my friends. He's caused so much pain and catastrophes for all of us.

But for what it's worth, he's made me feel special.

Klaus' POV;

I looked up at her window, after knocking a few times on the door with no answer. I see how it's gonna be. You are probably going to stand me up.
I hoped she wouldn't.

It was a beautiful night and I wanted to spend some time with Caroline.

I looked at the bush plants around the front of her doorstep. I looked up to her 2-story house, and picked up a pebble from the garden. The pebble was small, and extremely light. I took the pebble and threw it to just barely tap her window.

I saw the curtains on her bedroom shift to the right and shift to the left of the window.

Caroline's POV;

"It's Klaus," I whispered trying to put on my necklace with Elena's help. "Are you sure you want to do this, Caroline? I mean, you don't have to if it's for someone else's sake."

"It's for me, Elena. It's my choice, I want to go through with this. I'm not completely sure about it, but I want a change. Ever since Tyler left, things are different now.
Things don't make sense, and things are frustrating."

Before Elena could even speak a word, I cut off her line of speaking with: "So I'm going downstairs and opening the door, and spending the night on the town or wherever we go with Klaus."

Elena stared in disbelief. I knew in the back of my head that Elena was frustrated by the idea of me going with the enemy. I wasn't at all, but she wouldn't understand that.

I picked up a pair of high heels, leaving Elena by herself in my room. I turned back looking at her, "I'll be back later. Thanks for listening, Elena."
"I'll be here when you come back," Elena whispered. I nodded.

I walked down the stairs, hoping in my heart he was still there. I opened the door, finding Klaus standing there, looking up to my window seal. "Hello, Caroline," he whispered cracking a harmless smile, and I grinned back. He pulled from his back a bouquet of roses; they were all different colors.

I accepted the flowers, graciously. "Thank you, Klaus," I whispered. He looked up at me and our eyes locked. "You're welcome, Caroline."

"So what are we going to do?" I asked him, grabbing my wrap off the nearby hook. "Just somewhere special," he replied. His words flowed gently off his tongue. I had these feelings I couldn't begin to explain to anyone.

He made me feel different. He made me feel alive, who has done this for me before? Matt, Tyler... I can not recall a time when someone presented me with something, just because.

"Well, let's go!" I smiled, closing my door behind me. He grabbed my hand, wrapping his fingers around mine, and pulling me toward our ride. I was shocked once I saw it.
It wasn't what I would expect:

a horse and buggy.
