Chapter 5;

Caroline's POV;

I didn't dare tell anyone our plans. I knew there would be nothing but trouble from me exposing what Klaus and I were up to. I looked over at the clock, which read ten minutes after 11 am. This was so new to me, going somewhere other than Mystic Falls-hitting new ground somewhere else.

I begin to carry the rest of my luggage down the long staircase. I reached the bottom finding Klaus on my couch patiently waiting for me to say I was ready to leave.

"Caroline, do you have anything else?" He asked perking up immediately after he saw me carrying two more pieces of luggage, and dropping the heavy pieces by the rest.

"I have one more upstairs," I replied to Klaus. He jumped up off the cushion on the couch and went up the stairs. He came quickly down the stairs moments later, with the lights turned off, and my purse and last baggage in his hands.

"Oh, thanks, I forgot about that," I smiled accepting my purse from Klaus. He smiled, opening the front door with a couple of pieces in his hands. "So long will this trip be?" I asked him following him out the door with a piece.

"How long do you want to stay gone? A week or two?" Klaus asked.

I shrugged, "I guess a week."

"Oh darling, you can not see the sites in a week," he answered. I stared into his eyes, as he slammed the trunk of his luxury car. His car was elegant; it never crossed my mind how glamorous his car could be. I must admit though, he had good taste. He popped the trunk to the of 1950 mustang with the racing stripes down the middle of the hood. It looked like a bluish metallic color in the sunlight.

"Are you going to tell anyone?" Klaus whispered closing the trunk. I raised my head to look at him. His eyes glistened for once, and his heart was more pure than ever, then I quickly got in of the car.

"No," I replied.

He shook his head, "Not ready for the judgment?"

As he started his car, I bit my upper lip, "Don't take my reply the wrong way." I breathed out. He just dropped what he was doing, and looked into my eyes coming closer to me.

"Yes, dear?" He put his seatbelt on as I did the same.

"I'm kind of mad at how quickly people judge me. I was the weak vampire barbie who had all the problems in the world. But then, I grew up a little, and learned how to live in a vampire-based world. I was ok with it. Then I had a werewolf boyfriend who didn't understand me, and thought I was completely against who he was. Which I wasn't-I was one of the only one's who supported what he was and was there through the trials and tribulations."

"I took you away from Tyler didn't I?" he breathed flicking on the turning signal to hit the interstate.

"What are you saying?" I asked Klaus. His face had grimace.

"I destroyed your boyfriend, and now I want you for myself," he replied.

I could feel no feeling in my heart. "Klaus."

"You want to go home don't you? I know I blew it."

"You didn't let me finish my point," I whispered.

"Fine, Caroline. Continue." He became quiet.

"Then, Tyler bit me. It ruined everything, my feelings, and everything we had worked for, but then I met you. I was horrified of the thought of you around me, and knew I would have a price to pay if I accepted you saving me. That night, when you healed me, I saw trust in your eyes and compassion. Things my friends do not build you up as. So I took a chance. Took a chance that you wouldn't hurt me, but I think I might be in love with you."

Klaus stopped the car, looking over at me.

"I think I love you too."
