I'm a Mess-Ed Sheeran


"This is kind of embarrassing but when I started writing the pilot, I kind of got images of cretin celebrity's as my characters. Usually over time they shift into their own person but with this character, I can only picture you, Caroline. I know that probably sounds weird and I'm not some crazy stalker with a hard on for you. It's just...I felt like you would fit this part so amazingly well." Rose said with a small smile.

"Jeez Rose, do you want private room with my client?" Damon teased, while he wiggled his eyebrows at the woman sitting across from him and Caroline.

"You know what, I'm sorry for wasting your time." A blushing Rose said as she stood up.

"Rose it's okay," Caroline smiled sweetly. "It's kinda creepy, but ehh, it could have been worse." Giving Rose her honest opinion while also offering her a smile. "Why don't you tell me more about the show and the role." She offered.

"Spoiler alert," Damon Spoke up as he raised his drink towards them.

"How is he your manager?"

"He made himself my manager."Caroline said rolling her eyes at Damon.

"Because I'm great at it." Damon winked at the girls causing both of them break into giggles at his comment.

"If you say so, Damon." Caroline said, and then patted his arm as he rolled his eyes.

"I got you two together did I not?" He retorted quickly.

Rose smiled "Well we're still not sure if we're working together." Leaning back in her chair "But Caroline I truly want you for this role. I could be like those other writer/producer and lie to you but I'm going to be straightforward with you. This is not an easy role or project. This whole project will all be up in the air, all I have written are five episodes. My studio think's it's good, so here I am, asking you to consider it. This project might work out, maybe it won't but what I do know, is that it already comes with an amazing cast and an even better script that I'm sure anyone would appreciate as their first acting debut." Rose said as she handed Caroline the script.

"Read this, and we'll be in contact," Rose said with a smirk as she stood up. "Damon always a pleasure." She said with a slight hesitation.

"Sure is." Damon agreed with a teasing smile placed on his face. Caroline could tell there was a story there.


"All of sudden she noticed her surroundings as the last word slipped from her mouth and the last string played on the guitar. Looking up she stared at the people sitting at the bar, with no clue what she was doing there. Panic set in as she quickly jumped off stage." Caroline read out loud from the couch.

She spent most of the weekend reading over the script Rose had sent over. The script had been a good distractions,since she had been hiding from the media ever since Klaus had to go and open his big mouth. Her once simple B lister life had flipped on its head.

Caroline bit her lip she knew what she need to do, she had already decided the first night she read the script that she wanted the role, it had become something she needed to do.

Picking up her phone Carolina pressed the number 3 on her speed dial.

"What's up, Blondie." Damon's voice answered.

"Tell Rose I'll take the role." Caroline simply said.

"Wait, really?"

"Yes, Damon "

Caroline had a small bounce in her step as she walked out of the parking lot. For first time in a long time she was actually was the first table reading for the television show. Her first acting gig and she was excited. Caroline spent most of the night memorizing her lines not wanting to mess up, especially in front of other people who actually did this for a living. In no way would she be unprepared for this. That would be irresponsible and disorganized, and Caroline Forbes was neither of the two.

Letting out a small breath Caroline made her way into the building, clutching her bag. As she turned the corner she came face to face with Rose.

"Caroline." Rose shrieked.

"Rose?"Caroline asked as the brunette grabbed her arm and dragged her into an empty room.

"What's wrong?" Caroline asked, confused as she turned to face the brunette.

"Why haven't you been answering your phone?"

"What does my phone have to do with anything?" She inquired as she pulled out her phone from her pocket. Her eyes widened at the panic from all the notifications. She had ten missed calls from Damon alone.

"I must have left it on silent." She said shrugging.

"You might want to call Damon." Rose said taking a seat as she pulled out her own phone, Caroline once again threw her a confused look as she hit Damon's speed dial a couple of rings he quickly answered.

"The one time its an emergency and you ignore my calls" An angry Damon said through the phone.

"My phone was on silent." Caroline informed him as she walked over to the window. "Jeez, where's the fire?"

"Aww how naive. I take it Rose hasn't told you anything."

"No she just dragged me to an empty meeting room." Caroline said looking over to the brunette who was staring at her.

"She should be the one telling you, its her mess."

"Damon stop ranting and tell me what's going on."

Damon let out a chuckle," Well it seems that Klaus is now a part of this lovely project, Something Rose forgot to mention to the both of us at the meeting."

At the mention of his name Caroline closed her eyes "Who is he supposed to be playing?" Caroline asked as she turned to look at Rose who had a guilty look as she place her iPhone on the table.

"Some dude name Alexander" Damon said through the speakers of the phone.

"So basically, the main lead, " Caroline sarcastically said as she threw her arms up in the air, to look at Rose.

"Yes, Caroline but this was not up to me. When I came to you with this project he had already passed the role. Said his schedule was too busy. And then last night I get a call from the producers,that he wants in and they want him on the show." Rose said ashamed

"So he just get's to roll in here?" She guessed.

"Caroline." Damon called her name."You don't have to do this, we can just say your schedule was busy."

"Like they'll believe that" Caroline grumbled in distaste.

"Truly, I'm so sorry about this, if I had my way he wouldn't even be a part of this project anymore." Rose said sincerely

"This is just so typical of him. " Caroline said under her breath. Last year she had been excited to work on a movie score only to find out that Klaus would also be a part of the production, so she decided to back off. Stefan had let it slip that he had told Klaus about her project.

"Caroline, do I release a statement?" She could hear the pity in Damon's voice.

"No." She said with her head held high. "I'm always the one to back out and this time, iI refuse to let Klaus take advantage." Caroline said

"Are you sure? "

"Yes I'm sure, Damon. I wasn't the first one to throw a punch. However, Rose you should know that he and I don't work well together."

Rose just nods. "Noted. Now, let's make our way to the meeting." She said with a smile on her face.


Caroline took the seat closest to the door. Luckily, for her, Klaus had not yet arrived when she walked in through the door. And quite frankly, she was hoping that he never did.

"Hey." Caroline smiled to the young girl next to her, the young brunette seemed nervous. Caroline had already met most of her future cast mates. She had run into Marcel earlier in the week at a restaurant where he came up to her and Rebekah trying to charm them. Camille and her had work together during a fundraising event. Then there was Tyler whom she actually went to UCLA with, so it was nice to see him. Then there was Tatia, Caroline and her had small talked before at some award show but that was it. If she remembered correctly she had done a movie once with Klaus. In fact, it was the film he did after the break were all big names in hollywood now and probably in the future. But the young girl next to her she had never seen here.

"Hi, I'm Davina." the brunette said extending her hand.

"Caroline Forbes, nice to meet you" Caroline said as she shocked her hand.

"I know, I mean nice to meet you too." The girl said shaking her head, "Sorry I'm just nervous" Biting her lip. "This is my first table reading."

"I understand " She said with a chuckle "It's my first one too" Smiling over to the young girl who just nodded. Caroline could see the girl relaxed with her comment.

"Sorry I'm late." Caroline knew who that voice belonged to. And if she could reach up and punch him in the fact without consequences, she probably would. However, she was going to take the high road, not matter how much she wished she didn't have to.

"Nice for you to join us, Klaus " Marcel joked from his spot Standing up to embrace his friend.

"Tried to get here as soon as I could. " He said taking a seat across from Caroline with a smirk on his face.

"Well, lets get started." He said, staring right at Caroline with a smirk as he opened his script.
