"That bitch!" Damon cursed loudly, smacking his hand on the steering wheel, causing Stefan who sat in the passenger seat to jump slightly.
"Why would she do this?" Damon asked, glancing Stefan's way.
Stefan sighed, "This is Katherine… who knows why she does things…"
Damon groaned in frustration, "Why would she drag Blondie into this?"
Stefan's brow arched as Damon continued, "She doesn't deserve this! Any of this! She needed to lead a normal life!"
Stefan's eyes softened at Damon's words, "One of the reasons for you compelling her…?"
Damon glanced Stefan's way, Damon's eyes widened slightly, before he responded, "Yeah…"
Stefan nodded, as he stared back at the road. With everything going on, Stefan couldn't help the smile that started to form on his lips, Damon really does care for her…
"Do you love her?"
"Yeah… I do…"
"I tried denying it at first… claiming that I didn't love her… pushing her away… hurting her… but, I guess it was no use…"
"I'm in love with Barbie."
Silence filled the car all of sudden causing Damon to glance Stefan's way. Damon's brows furrowed, "Why are you smiling?"
Stefan looked over at his brother, chuckling, a grin starting to form on Stefan's face now, causing Damon's confusion to grow, "What?"
Stefan shrugged, grin still in place, "You seem to care about Caroline a lot… more than you let on…"
Damon's eyes widened, "W-What? No… I don't care about Barbie…"
Stefan chuckled slightly, looking out at the road once again, "Whatever you say Damon…"
Damon gulped before he looked out onto the road himself, getting lost in his thoughts.
I don't care for Blondie…
No… I don't…
Damon repeated that in her mind over and over, trying to ignore the small part of his brain that kept telling him otherwise…
Caroline continued straddling herself on the floor, as her back rested on the side of her bed. Caroline sobbed into her hands, I'm not human…
Thoughts going through her head, everything…
Vampire.
Blood.
Innocence.
Damon.
Caroline could feel her anger boiling at the thought of him, "Damon…"
He had no right to make her forget. He had apologized for god's sakes, and he made her forget… She loved him… and he forced her to hate him? How dare he!
Damon pulled the car up in front of the familiar house, Caroline's house. Lost in his thoughts, Damon didn't even notice Stefan step out of the car.
"You coming?" Stefan asked with a bit of concern at his brothers distant look.
Damon's head shot to Stefan suddenly, before he looked back at the house. Damon remember all that had happened, everything that he had done… the night before…
"Uh-"
Damon was interrupted by Stefan, "Damon, this is Caroline… she needs our help…"
It took a moment, but Damon nodded, stepping out of the car hesitantly, following Stefan to the door.
Stefan fiddled with the door, only to find it open. About to step into the house, Stefan stopped suddenly. Damon's brows furrowed, "What are you waiting for?"
Stefan tried stepping in once more, but no use, "I can't… I haven't been invited in…"
Damon's eyes widened suddenly, "What? Then how were you planning on getting in?"
Stefan sighed, before looking back at Damon, "What now?"
Damon shrugged, only to have Stefan look at him with a grin, "Hey, you've been invited in, right Damon?"
Damon's eyes widened, as he cleared his throat, "Y-Yeah… but I can't just…"
Stefan looked back at the door, and the empty hallway, "Why not?"
Damon looked at the hall way, as he hesitantly replied, "I-I can't just go… last night…"
Stefan sighed, as he looked back at Damon, "I know that last night was hard for you…"
Damon's brow arched, Hard for me?
"But, Caroline needs you… go…" Stefan said, finishing.
Damon sighed, "Alright…"
Moving past Stefan, Damon hesitantly stepped into the house.
Damon stood outside of Caroline's door, taking a deep breath in Damon opened the door slowly, only to find Caroline on the floor… crying…
Damon's eyes softened at the sight of the blonde. His heart aching every second, at the sight of tears rolling out of her beautiful blue orbs. Damon could hear his voice cracking as he spoke, "C-Caroline…?"
Caroline's head shot up at the sound of her name, her eyes blurry from all the crying, she sighed when she saw who stood in front of her, "Damon…?"
Without thinking, Caroline stood onto her feet, running towards Damon, as her arms wrapped around his neck, as her arms rested on his shoulders, her feet practically off the ground as she stood on her toes, grabbing hold of Damon in an embrace, as she continued to cry at the croak of his neck.
Damon's eyes widened at the sudden action. But, without another second thought, Damon's arms that were at his sides at one moment hesitantly wrapped around Caroline's waist, pulling her closer.
Damon could feel his heart breaking every moment as Caroline continued to cry into his shoulder, staining his black v-neck and traditional leather jacket. But he didn't even wait to try and help her feel better, as he softly soothed her, "It'll be alright Caroline…"
Caroline's eyes shot open, as a few more tears trailed down her face. Her eyes examining the leather beneath her, she managed to breathe out one thing, only to have her eyes widen more, "Damon…"
-x-
"No. The only thing stupid, is you."
-x-
"Are you going to kill me?"
"Mhmm…"
-x-
"What's your problem Damon! I try so hard! So hard to just help you, be there for you! But all you do is push me away! Why?"
"Because your not Elena!"
-x-
Caroline cradled herself on her bed, endless tears forming and escaping her eyes, as she mumbled to herself, It's all me… all my fault…
Her head shot up when she heard her window open, she got off her bed immediately, brows furrowing, "What are you doing here?"
Damon's eyes softened as he saw Caroline wipe the few tears that escaped her eyes, he took a step closer, only to have her take a step back. He sighed.
"Please don't hurt me… I-I didn't do an-ything! I d-idn't tell anyone! I swear!" Caroline exclaimed, backing up more, as a few more tears escaped her eyes.
Damon looked at the blonde with concern, as he took a step closer, "I'm not going to hurt you, Caroline…"
Caroline's brows furrowed, as she looked at him in confusion, Damon tried to ignore the sudden feeling he had in his stomach, "Caroline… I'm not going to hurt you…"
Damon neared Caroline slowly, watching her carefully, as she tensed.
"Why are you here?" Caroline asked a little too harshly, causing Damon to flinch.
Damon looked Caroline straight in the eye, walking towards her, until they were only inches apart. Caroline looked up at Damon, speechless. First off, he was making it hard to think, having him so close to her.
"Dam-"
Caroline was interrupted by Damon's finger finding her lips, shushing her softly. She looked up at him in confusion, "I'm sorry, Caroline… for everything…"
Caroline's eyes widened slightly, as she could feel her heart racing, "What?"
"I'm sorry, Caroline… which is why I have to do this…" Damon replied softly, trying to force the pain that came from his voice.
Caroline looked up at him in confusion, "Do what?"
Damon looked Caroline in the eyes, causing her to stare back at him dazed, "You will not feel guilty about Vicky's death. With everything I did, after treating you, I didn't apologize. You hate me… you don't love me…"
"I don't love you…" Caroline repeated back, dazed.
Damon stepped away from Caroline, disappearing just as quickly.
-x-
Caroline's eyes widened more, if that were even possible. Not even thinking otherwise, Caroline pulled away instantly, stepping away from a purely confused Damon.
Damon's brows furrowed at the sudden action the blonde committed, "Car-"
"Don't," Caroline said, anger flowing through her veins as she looked away from Damon, stepping away from him once again.
Damon tried to ignore the sudden feeling of emptiness of not having Caroline near him, as he spoke up, concerned, "Caroline… what happened?"
Caroline's head shot up at Damon, her eyes narrowing, as she could just feel the anger about to explode through her body, "What happened?"
Damon's eyes softened at the few more tears that fell from Caroline's eyes, "Car-"
"Don't! Just don't! Just leave me alone!" Caroline exclaimed, her hands in her hair, as more tear streamed down her cheeks.
Damon could feel his heart breaking all over again, he wanted to hold her, tell her everything was okay… just not have her cry…
Damon stepped in closer to Caroline, only to have her step back, "Caroline… I'm here to help you…"
Caroline's watery eyes looked up at Damon, "To help me? This happened because of you!"
Damon's brows furrowed as Caroline went to the other side of her bed, bringing a piece of paper in her hand, before coming back in front of him.
"For this! For this, I had to die! I had to be turned into a monster just because some bitch wanted to send a message! A message to none other than the Salvatore brothers! So, here, I'll do my job, she said 'Game On'!" Caroline exclaimed, throwing the piece of paper on the ground once again.
Damon's eyes widened, Game On…?
Damon looked down at Caroline, "Caroline, I'm sorry… I never meant for any of this to happen to you…"
Caroline's looked over at Damon, her eyes widening slightly, "Your sorry?"
Damon said nothing, only to have Caroline continue, "I'm no longer human! I can't live my life anymore! I can't have children! I'm a monster!"
Caroline watched as Damon said nothing, his eyes drifting to the side, as he avoided eye contact with Caroline. Caroline couldn't help but bring the other point up, "What? Not going to compel me to forget your apology?"
Damon's head whipped Caroline's direction. Damon's eyes widened, she… remembers…
Damon's eyes softened, "Car-"
Caroline interrupted Damon, as she wiped her tears, "Where's Stefan?"
Damon's jaw clenched, "Outside."
Caroline glanced Damon's way one last time before walking past him towards the main door, where Stefan still stood, leaving Damon behind…
