Chapter 3
External
Rebekah springs immediately to Klaus who tries hard to sit on the hospital bed.
While the two brothers are standing a little further back in the bottom of the room, Caroline leaves to let the family together.
They were aware that there were four years of life of Klaus he did not remember.
- "I was so scared, I can not believe I got you to my arms, you're awake," sobbed Rebekah.
- "And here I am," Klaus replied with a small smile.
- "You could have decided to wake up tomorrow morning to sort, you know ten or eleven ! For not wake up everyone ! " Says Kol still a bit sleepy after falling asleep at midnight.
- "Kol, what a pleasure to see that you always take as much account of those around you, and thank you, I'm fine do not worry ! "Klaus replied sarcastically.
- "Anyway luckily Miss Forbes was a your bedside while you wake up!
- "Brother, you know that you can call her Caroline, like a normal person does ! Looks like you add her ten years each time you call that! " Said Rebekah his brother.
- "Yeah, she even in thirty years you give her fifty" Kol added, smiling.
- "Whatever we are not here to talk about his age".
- "Besides where is she ? "Rebekah asked to nobody in particular.
Members of the families returned to find that indeed she was gone.
Klaus stares Elijah with a frown. Although Caroline was telling him he was passing over the last four years he still has doubts with his brother.
They continued talking about everything and nothing, trying to make back memories of years spent.
When they leave the next morning at eight o'clock, they promise to come back in the afternoon except Elijah will come later because it has meetings throughout the day.
This does not bother Klaus because he remembered they are always cold and it does not enchant to pretend that all is well in front of him, but he does it for Rebekah, who would not like that they quarrel on the day of awakening.
About nine nurses spend in the room to him some lavished care.
It does not really hungry so it grows lunch tray on the right and turn on the television.
It falls on the morning paper indicating that it was March 5, 2015, he also took the opportunity to watch the weather and realizes he's going to snow that day.
He continues to change channels until falling on a documentary and decides to let it.
He probably fall asleep because when he wakes up a little later he realizes that the documentary and finished. He hears a knock at the door of his room.
- "Enter! " He said.
He sees the blond hair yesterday entered the room with a smile, small but sincere.
- "Hi, I'm sorry I don't want to wake you," Caroline replied, "I can come back later if you want," she hastens to add.
- "No, no, stay ! You do not wake me I look just television "
- "Oh okay !"
She then sits on the chair as before with a small bag around the wrist and two drinks in hand.
- "I've made a mocha and dark chocolate brownies and cookies," she replied, smiling.
- "Oh, thank you, but you did not oblige"
- "I just think that the hospital food is not really appetizing hugged you," she said, looking at the bowl of tea and croissant with butter on the plate.
- "It's on the hospital looks more like a canteen has a gourmet restaurant," he replies, which earned him a giggle Caroline.
It installs a silence in the room but not the sort of awkward silence, more like a comfortable silence between them.
- "Then why are you left last night? "Klaus asked, trying to hide the hint of disappointment he was thinking she would be returned.
- "I wanted to let your family does not interrupt your reunion"
- "But you part of the family if you're my girlfriend"
- "Oh, yes but technically I'm not since that famous evening but ... Anyway Elijah calling me to keep me informed ! "
- "Oh Elijah did that, that's generous of him ..." said Klaus rather bitterly.
This time though, an awkward silence settles for a few minutes in the room. Caroline continues her drink Macchiato in silence under the Klaus's look.
Klaus POV
After that sentence she avoids my eyes and look out the window to see the snow fall.
Of course, I should avoid talking about it but I could not help but to approach the subject.
So I decide to take her hand to get her attention, which work.
- "I wanted to say thank you to see me even though we are not together, I would spend long days alone and horribly otherwise !"
- "Oh, it's normal to have still was together for three years, I would not want you think I give you the least problems and we were simply break"
- "This means that I always have a chance? "
Before Caroline could answer me, a nurse enters my room.
I really try to hide my bad mood after a interrupt when she starts telling me about the exams that I have to do tomorrow, and the fact that a doctor will come soon to see if all is well.
I stop listening when I saw Caroline out of the room, laugh with a doctor. He was young, brown hair, and brown eyes.
When he enters the room Caroline followed him and remains in a corner.
- "Hello, my name is Wren Kingston and I'm the doctor who is caring for you and have followed your progress during your coma."
And who has to enjoy flirting with my girlfriend too, but I refrained to say knowing that it would not have rained Caroline.
- "Hello Doctor" was all that would receive from me.
- "So how are you feeling since waking, pain somewhere, burns or head aches ?"
- "No."
- "Have you the vision that trouble? "
Ah, it is sure it would arrange him !
- "No."
- "Okay ... Um, you know why you came back four years ago, on this particular date? "
- "Because the heat was particularly raise? " Sarcastically replied Klaus, who was tired of the questions but also that the Caroline looks as if he was the god on earth.
- "If you want to remember maybe a little effort would be good," said the doctor.
- "Who said I wanted to remember? ".
No, no, no it's not what I meant at all, especially when I saw Caroline's face turned to disappointment.
- "No, I did not mean that, it's just ... it's so scary to remember anything when everyone tells you that you have missed four years of your life without any memories."
- "I understand. I would return later or tomorrow. Can I talk to you Caroline? "Wren said starting.
Maybe it has, but I see in the eyes of Caroline that she does not understand.
And Caroline, seriously, no one calls his patient Mr or Mrs? If it's not flirt so I know nothing ! As if I would let him speak alone with Caroline story he stuffs his skull lies as what it no longer any chance to get back together or try to be friends or others.
- "I can also hear what you want to say it anyway !"
- "Fine," he said, returning to the room. " listen, I think you should try more hard for remember, talk to me, maybe it's not easier, but you had a life before the accident and the best would at least know who you were ".
- "Wow, I did not even merit a 'Klaus' call, is only to your patient or Caroline? At done, if I need a psychologist, I would go check directly, do not bother you for me, "I replied, to end a conversation.
Wren then goes back into the hallway leaving me alone with Caroline who sarcastically applauding behind me.
