Style-Taylor Swift
Three year later
"Bexs, you look great," Caroline smiled as she made her way to her friend, then embracing her in a tight hug.
"I feel like a whale, " Rebekah whined seriously as she pulled back from the embrace.
"Why? You're probably the best looking pregnant women out there. Anyway, how's my godchild?" Caroline asked as she placed a hand on her very pregnant belly.
"Hopefully ready to come out" Rebekah said under her breath with a small laugh.
"Come on, Damon beat you here and Stefan has a work lunch. He told me to tell you that dinner is at our house." Rebekah informed her as she looped her arm around Caroline's making their way towards the table.
"Did Damon also tell you that I need a dress?"
"Caroline, I'm your stylist! I know what needs to get done even before you or your manager does," The blond said as Caroline rolled her eyes. Over the three years, their relationship changed from one of acquaintances to one of extremely close friends.
When Caroline's CD came out, Rebekah was the first one to tell her how impressed she was with the it. And anything that comes out of Rebekah Mikaelson's mouth was a compliment. Which is why when Damon suggested Rebekah as a stylist, she couldn't have said yes any faster.
"We don't pay you enough." Caroline teased the blonde, only for their bonding to be interrupted.
"Well, well, if it isn't my favorite blondes." Damon said from his spot as he stood up to greet them.
"The one carrying my niece, and the one who makes me money."
"It's nice to see you have your values in order, Damon." Caroline told him as she took a seat while sending him a glare.
"Why did he need to come to our lunch again?" Caroline asked Rebekah as she took a seat.
"Very funny blondie." He said while calling over the waiter.
"Wait! This is isn't an intervention, right? Because there is no way I'm giving up my coffee" Caroline teased as she leaned back in to the chair. She could not go the day without a minimum three cups of coffee, and Damon always liked to make fun of her for it.
"Well actually," Rebekah started but quickly shot Damon a look. "You tell her, you're her manger."
"What's going on?" A now worried Caroline asked.
"We'll you got a job offer that we both think would be awesome for you." Damon informed her as he took a sip from his bourbon. Caroline knew exactly what this was about.
"We been over this, I'm not an actress." Ever since her CD launched a year back, Caroline had been getting offers for Cameo appearances, but she always turned them down. She wanted nothing to do with the world of acting. Not when it remind her of Klaus.
"I know, Caroline, but listen to Damon about this before you make a decision." Rebekah advised.
Caroline let out a sigh and looked over at Damon, nodding so that he'd continue.
"The TV show writers want you so bad for this role, she basically created the character for you." He revealed. Caroline nodded slowly and pondered the scenario before her.
"Are you sure you don't need a ride, Caroline?" Rebekah asked as they made their way out of the restaurant. Both Damon and Rebekah spent most of their lunch trying to convince Caroline that acting was a step in the right direction. She finally gave in around dessert.
"I'm fine, I'll just drive home with Damon since we're both heading the same way."
"I don't understand why you don't just moved out" Rebekah told her.
"Believe it or not, we just became used to each other. He's not a terrible roommate, at least as long as his hookups don't eat my yogurt, I'm fine." Caroline said laughing
"It only happened once" Damon said as he came up behind them and opened the door for them.
"Was it that weird red head?"
"No, that one had a cat thing," Caroline told her as she slipped on her sun glasses.
"Caroline," Her name was being shouted out by the paparazzi standing outside the restaurant.
"When is the new CD coming out?"
The paparazzi around the front doors shouted as the cameras went off. Caroline was used to them ever since her first CD came out. She started getting a group following her around, but it'd never been this big.
"Soon," Damon answered as he made his way to block the girls from the camera's shoved in there faces.
"Aren't you Klaus Mikaelson sister?" One of them asked, but Rebekah just ignored them. She was used to this because of her clients. Rebekah let out a small laugh as she kept walking.
"Is it true you used to date Klaus? " One of them asked, causing her to freeze at the comment. Quickly Caroline turned around to look at the paparazzi and narrowed her eyes.
How did they know?
it was practically entirely unknown that they used to date, but now that they were both in the spotlight, no one had ever made the connection, well until now.
"Now where did you get a crazy idea like that?" Damon chuckled trying to change the subject. He knew it was still a touchy subject with Caroline. Finally making sure that Rebekah made her way to the car, Damon shut the door and got ready to drive off.
"What the hell was that?" Caroline asked angrily. He mumbled lowly and shook his head.
"I have no clue, let me call Stefan."
"Tonight's guest is Klaus Mikaelson, from the upcoming film, Black Bird." They announced, as Klaus in a dark suit, made his way on to the stage and shook hands with the host.
Why does he have to look so hot in black? Caroline wondered from her spot on the couch. After Damon called Stefan who sent his call to voice mail, he was able to find Klaus's interview from last night. Also known as the catalyst for all this crap.
"Thanks for having me tonight, Jimmy." Klaus chuckled as he took a seat.
"Happy to have you here. I saw the movie last night, and let me say, you were amazing."The host complimented him.
"Thank you," Klaus answered with a small blush on his face "However, truly the whole cast was. it was just amazing to be part of such an incredible project." He told Jimmy Fallon as he readjusted his tie. Caroline knew he was nervous from the familiar habit.
"So I understand your character was the only who did not sing in the movie, even though it turns out you can sing. We actually found a video of you, here let's play it"
Caroline couldn't believe the clip they had found. It was of her and Klaus back when they had just moved to LA, and went to a Karaoke bar.
"Where the hell did they find this?" She asked as she heard Klaus ask the same question on the television.
"Where did you guys find that?" Klaus asked amused, yet it was also obvious that he was taken by surprise. "I think I was around 23 and I had just moved to LA with my girlfriend at the time."
"But look at your hair," The host teased lightly.
"Clearly I thought it was a good idea at the time." He joked in return.
"I begged him to cut it." Caroline mumbled under her breath.
" It Kind of works for his torture sole" Damon piped in, as Caroline sent him a death glare. "Just saying."
"So, who was the girlfriend at the time?" The host asked, hoping to get some insight about a past relationship. Klaus was known in Hollywood as the bad boy who left broken hearts everywhere he went. He was not known to be a guy who's ever had a girlfriend for more than a week.
"Would you Believe me if I said that was Caroline Forbes? "Klaus revealed smugly. Caroline's breath hitched at the mention of her name. To be honest, she was amazed he had the guts to even utter her name. After the way he ended things, it wasn't far-fetched to think that he'd forgotten all about her.
"Get out of here, you used to date Caroline Forbes.?" Jimmy asked in total shock.
"Yeah, before we moved out here. It's funny, I actually never thought she would have wanted to be a singer, but look at her now."
"Never want to be a singer?" Caroline shouted at the TV, ready to toss the remote control at his televised face.
"I always knew she'd be famous one day." He continued.
"So you guys just dated?" The host asked as Klaus smirked back at him.
"Turn it off. " She interrupted.
"Blondie-."
"I said, turn it off." Caroline screamed, he had no right.
Damon got up from his chair in the office "What else did your client decide to say?" He asked. Grumbling in distaste when there was no reply from the speaker phone.
"Stefan" Caroline called out. This was no time to be quiet, she needed answers.
"Well, that was all he said on TV, but…"
"Yeah, because you let your client say whatever he want." Damon siad under his breath .
"But what?" She asked nervously.
"They have been calling since this morning." Stefan answered. "It seems as though someone in that pony town mentioned that we were engaged." The British voice spoke threw the phone. Caroline froze at the sudden intrusion. It had been so long since she'd actually heard his voice being aimed directly towards her.
"So if you think about it, truly it's not my fault, sweetheart." Klaus said in an aggravated tone.
"Not your fault." She repeated angrily. Caroline stood up from her chair ready to rip him a new one before Stefan spoke up to settle the situation.
"Klaus! Ignore him, Caroline. He's just upset that this came out."
"Yeah, I'll bet he is." She answered, shaking her head. Caroline was so over this, she always seemed to be the one to get hurt when it came to him.
"He is the reason this came out, get him off the phone!" Damon noted.
"I know, he just..." Stefan started excusing.
"I don't want to hear this." Caroline interrupted. "Take care of this Damon." She continued before storming out of his office.
"Alright, your saying that he said what?" Caroline asked in to the phone.
"That you guys were going different ways, and that he had tried to make it work but at the end...it just ended." Rebekah said. Caroline could already imagine rebekah rolling her eyes. Rebekah did love her brother, so much that she would even take a bullet for him. But ever since the break up three years ago, Caroline became the sister she never had. Making it not that much of a surprise when she tended to take Caroline's side in the breakup.
"He tried? When was that, I must of missed it." She answered sarcastically. It would seem that once again, Klaus opened his mouth about their past relationship. Even after their small talk last night.
"Well, at least now I know why he broke up with me." She tried, chuckling into phone while attempting to hold back tears. For some reason thinking of Klaus still hurt, you think she'd be over it by now.
"Caroline, I'm sorry. He had no right to say that and he's obviously just using your relationship to promote this stupid movie. Stefan is furious with him." Rebekah revealed. Caroline could already feel the pity coming from the other blonde's voice.
"Rebekah, I have to go." Shaking her head, she could not do this again.
"Don't pull away, we can get through this." She tried.
"I... have to go" Caroline said as she hung up her phone, biting her lip. She could feel herself slipping into a dark place. Shaking the feelings away, she picked up her guitar and started playing with the strings.
"Damon you're my manager, and more importantly, my producer." Caroline said from across the kitchen counter.
"Don't forget handsome roommate." Damon smirked as he placed the bacon on their plates.
"if you say so. But I'm only asking you this because I know I need to do this, and you know I need to do this."
Damon narrowed his eyebrow as she stole a piece of bacon from his plate.
"You're scaring me, what are you talking about?"
"I need to..." Caroline started, then hesitated as she ran her fingers through her blond hair.
"Need to do what, Caroline?" He asked, getting impatient.
"Okay, I wrote a new song, and I want to use the song to promote the new album." She finally said, but braced herself for the more complicated part. "Basically I want to redo the whole album." Caroline said quickly as she bit her lip.
"You're kidding right?" Damon asked seriously.
"No, I am not. Just, listen to it and you will understand." She pleaded. You could see Damon was debating it , and Caroline could tell he was having a struggle with the idea of starting all over on an album that was already ready to release.
"Go and get your guitar." He agreed with a chuckle.
"You got the whole world watching and everyone's attention, yeah
Turn your head and you never even mention us
You gave up on love.
Yeah you gave up on us"
Caroline sang the last verse of the song and then placed the guitar down. Starring at Damon who was simply glaring at her.
"so…" Caroline asked nervously. She needed to know what he thought, Damon was a big part of her final product. She valued his opinion not only as a friend, but also as her producer.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Everyone will know what this song is about." Damon asked, concerned as he placed a hand on hers.
"He started it, I'm just telling my side." She confirmed with her head held high.
"Well I think it's bloody brilliant." Damon smirked at her as he stood up. "Now don't forget we have a meeting." He reminded her.
So what did you guys think ? In case you were wondering the lyrics that Caroline sing is from a Tristan Prettyman song. Don't for get to review :)
