A/N: ATTENTION, PLEASE READ THIS.
~ All I can say is wow and thank you so much guys! I did not expect to get such a positive and excited response to this story. It had been an idea of mine for a while because I tend to like to show how vulnerable the Original family actually is. It makes me smile that you guys made such a positive response to it.
~ The first chapter had only been posted for a day and got 7 reviews, 12 favorites, & 29 followers! You guys are so amazing!
~ Special shout out to TopazDragon who left me such a long review it wouldn't let me view it on my Ipad! Another shout out to EtherealDemon who mentioned what i'm planning on doing to evolve Klaus & Caroline's relationship in her review.
~ To clear a view things up, I do make mistakes and feel free to let me know! I don't mind at all because I'm so bad with typos. Also, some people were confused about the last paragraph on how Matt was proud of Caroline. He was proud at her for responding positively to Rebekah. Lastly, there were also some curious questions regarding where Caroline's friends were during her vulnerable state and you will learn more about that through the next couple chapters.
~ I do not own TVD but if I did I would be a millionaire and be chilling with all the actors/actresses right now. Enjoy loves and happy Thanksgiving!
"Losing him was blue like I'd never known,
missing him was dark grey all alone.
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody that you've never met,
but loving him was red."
Caroline changed the channel on the television in front of her, going past her usual TLC shows. It was Wednesday or Thursday, Caroline couldn't really recall the date. She hadn't attended school in days since her friendly drunken spur with Rebekah. The blonde was confused and hurt, and it seemed that the only thing willing to comfort her was a pint of ice cream, a blanket that smelt of dog, and reality shows of people with worse lives then here.
"Open the door or I'm barging in!"
Caroline let out an audible sigh as she turned her steady glare away from the television to stare at her white wood door. She could almost picture what Elena looked like outside the door as she banged her minuscule fists against the frame, yelling from the outside. Her brown hair was probably straightened to perfect and she was most likely wearing an outfit that could have came right off a J. Crew model.
"If you break it you pay for it," Caroline half-heartily mumbled as she removed herself from her comfy spot on the couch and to her foyer, opening the door to stare at her friend. Caroline was spot on about her assumptions. Elena's hair was pin straight and she wore tan pants with a navy blazer. Very J. Crew. "What do you need, 'Lena?"
Caroline's patience for her long-time friend was wearing thin now a days. Elena this and Elena that. When was it ever just about Caroline? She knew Elena becoming a vampire was a big thing and her on-going struggle between which Salvatore brother to pick was always a topic of discussion but really, didn't it ever get old to anyone other than Caroline?
"You've been stuck in your house for days now, you should get outside." Elena offered her a kind smile as she tried to make eye contact with Caroline who was avoiding her eyes. Elena felt bad for her friend who had found out that Tyler had cheated on her not once but a handful of times. She felt even worse that when Caroline tried to tell Elena about it she blew her off so she could talk to Damon about the fist fight he got into Stefan with instead. She probably hated her.
"I'm not really an outdoorsy type of person, you know that already. I can crack a window if I'm really desperate." Caroline's voice was nonchalant as she spoke, flicking a few strands of blonde curls off her shoulder. She wore black yoga pants that clung to her thighs and butt in a flattering style with a loose fitting grey sweater. She was going for casual chic and nailing it right on the head.
Elena let out a groan, knowing Caroline was not one for budging. Especially considering Elena did major damage this time. "Look Care, let's just stop bullshitting around the lines and get to the point. I upset you and I totally deserve you to be mad at me but I'm really sorry. I had no clue that Tyler had cheated on you and if I did I wouldn't have gone to talk to Damon, you know that."
"Do I really know that?" Caroline said, countering her other words. Elena cringed at her malicious words . "Look, I really don't wanna talk to you right now. Give me a call when you realize that the world doesn't revolve around you and your sick little love triangle. Bye." Caroline shut the door in her friends face after blowing up on her. You get what you give.
Caroline had kept her feelings bottled up for too long and felt like being with Elena just drained her too much. She was right about her needing to get outside, though. She thought about giving Bonnie a call but knew all too well she was under a lot of stress with Abbey's transformation and helping her deal. So instead Caroline scrolled right through at least seventy contact names before she finally found the name she was looking for and typed a quick text.
Hi Rebekah, it's Caroline. Not sure if you were totally sober when you mentioned that we should hang out again, but we should. Text me back if you're free. ~ C.F.
Rebekah sat in one of the plush chairs in the house's living room. She crossed her legs over one another and sipped from her wine class filled with AB positive blood. Curtosy of the girl now rotting in some dumpster. Rebekah always liked to bring some of her meals home for latter snacks. She flipped the page of the new Vogue issue, only barely hearing the sound of her brother entering the room.
"Morning Rebekah," Nik said as he ran his fingers through his now damp hair. He had dark circles clinging to the skin underneath his bright blue eyes. Rebekah knew Nik wasn't getting much sleep because he was stressing over the fact of his wolf troubles.
The girl watched her brother make his way to the alcohol cabinet and pour himself a drink of vodka mixed with some other unknown liquid. She was surprised that he was hitting the boos so early. He must have really been upset.
"Having a bad day already? It's barely twelve."
"You should know by now, sister, I rarely have any good days." He snorted before downing the contents of his drink and excusing himself. He told her he had hybrid matters to tend too and wouldn't be back til dinner time. Good riddance.
Rebekah went back to flipping through the magazine before her attention was caught by the buzzing of her phone. Picking up the jeweled case her eyes widened in surprise as she read the text in front of her. She read it two more times and then triple checked the senders name. She decided after five minutes of staring open mouth that it was time to respond.
Hey Caroline. I was totally not sober when I offered it up but despite that I meant my offer. I'm free today if you are. ~ R.M.
