Thank you for all of the follows! That makes me happy! Well, here is chapter 2. I hope y'all enjoy it!
Also, did anyone watch The Vampire Diaries last night? Ugh, they're killing me. I love it though.

Chapter 2: Sex
And this is how it starts
Take your shoes off in the back of my van
Yeah my shirt looks so good,
When it's just hanging off your back
And she said, "Use your hands and my spare time—
We've got one thing in common, it's this tongue of mine."
She said
"Please tell me you have not been contacting the other side so you can talk to your dead boyfriend." Caroline eyes narrowed at her best friend. She couldn't be that stupid.
"Is that all you took from what I said? This boy could kill everyone just cause he is bored," Bonnie was taken aback by Caroline's reaction.
"And Kol is different how?" Caroline retorted.
"Like you have room to talk, Mrs. I Slept With Klaus And Liked It." Bonnie glared back standing toe to toe with her best friend.
"That was one time and I said it would never happen again. Now back to the subject at hand, why are you talking to your homicidal dead boyfriend on the other side?"
Bonnie shrugged sadly. "I missed him. And at first that was all it was. I did it to see him, but then he started telling me about this kid, and I'm scared for us Caroline." Bonnie looked truly frightened. She knew it was stupid, and it had been months since she lost Kol, but she wasn't ready to let go of him and she was glad because if she had not made contact with him then she would not have known about this boy witch.
Caroline sighed and gave Bonnie a tight hug, "I know you miss him—and we will figure out the lunatic boy. You should have told me about you seeing Kol though,"
"I knew you would tell me to stop."
"Well, you weren't wrong. How are you supposed to move on if you keep seeing him?" Caroline tried not offending her best friend.
"But what if I can bring him back?"
Caroline pulled away from Bonnie with wide eyes, "You know you can't do that."
"Why not? I'm stronger now. I could do it."
"It has nothing to do with being strong enough. His death killed hundreds possibly thousands of people because of it. Who knows what would happen if he came back?"
Caroline knew Bonnie loved Kol and would do anything to bring him back, but that was playing with fire. Kol was an original meaning all vampires in his blood line died when he did. If Bonnie brought him back, it could possibly bring back those people.
"I know it is stupid, but if you had the chance to bring your mom back—"
"That is completely different." Caroline felt her walls start to shoot up around her. The mere thought of her mom made her start getting emotional. Sometimes being a vampire really sucked. She hated how heightened her emotions could be.
"Is it?"
Caroline shook her head needing to get away from Bonnie before she said anything really mean. "You aren't thinking clearly, Bonnie. I'm not having this conversation with you. You aren't bringing him back,"
"You aren't my mother, Caroline," Bonnie spat.
"No, but I am a vampire, and I have been for some time, so I know that bringing back a dead original isn't a good idea. Take your heart out of this equation and you would see how idiotic this is, Bon."
Caroline started her way towards the door. "What about psychotic boy witch wanting to kill everyone?"
"I'll deal with it later," Caroline muttered slamming the door.
She knew it was late, but she knew he would answer. It seemed like he never slept. She knew he used her about as much as she used him, and she had gotten calls at two a.m. with him slurring how bad his day was.
She sat in her car wondering if she wanted to go in or not. She shouldn't be dependent on someone else to help her forget her problems, but it wasn't like she could really have any consequences from it. No diseases or pregnancies, so why not? What was really stopping her?
Self-dignity?
She sent a quick text asking if he was awake. She didn't receive a text back, but instead she watched as his bedroom lights flicked on and as if a chain reaction, the lights in the stairway and foyer flicked on consecutively. Even with this, it did not come close to lighting up the large house. He said it was once a boarding house of some sort. She walked up the sidewalk to find him leaning against the door. He gave her a small smile. So small it could be considered a smirk, but it wasn't condescending. It was almost sympathetic.
She didn't want his sympathy though.
She didn't hesitate to push her lips against his. She sighed against his soft lips, running her fingers through his thick hair. He wrapped his strong arms around her tiny waist pulling her flush against him.
"Bad day?" he whispered against her lips. She nodded.
With that there was no more talking—he picked her up, her legs instantly wrapping around him, his tongue pushing through her lips to meet hers. She wasn't quite sure why she kept coming back to Stefan or even, why he felt the need to come back to her.
Maybe because there was no awkwardness as he laid her down onto his soft bed and slowly started to pull her skinny jeans down her legs. Maybe because without fail every time she huffs in frustration when she can't get his pants unbuttoned. Maybe it was because when he pressed his naked body against hers and slipped himself inside her, she didn't need to say what he needed to do. Maybe because she sighed in happiness they once again were connected. Maybe it was because it did not have to be loud screams, rather quiet in takes of breaths and raspy moans.
But just maybe it was because when it was all said and done, and they had both found the release they were looking for, she didn't need to ask if she could stay. Her flipping over was enough for him to know. He rolled away from her as if they were strangers sharing a bed and instantly fell asleep.
And that was when Caroline silently let tears fall from her eyes. Stefan made the pain go away, but once he was asleep, she had all the time to think of her mom and how much she dreadfully missed her. She even missed annoying Kol though she would never admit. They had only died months apart from each other. Her mom from a brain tumor. Something that vampire blood couldn't save her from. Kol from a pissed off enemy of Klaus. It wasn't fair Kol had to lose his life because of Klaus' decisions, but it was life. Life wasn't fair.
Caroline was realizing being a vampire didn't save her from the downward spiral of depression and that terrified her.
"Whose car was that last night?" Damon asked his wife as he ripped open a blood bag.
"It was Caroline's," Elena responded taking a bite of her cereal.
Damon looked around his face asking the question before he did "Who is Caroline?"
"She and Stefan take part in activities together."
"Sex. They take part in sex. Who would have thought my baby brother would have a fuck buddy."
Elena glared at him for being so crass. Damon shrugged slurping down his blood. "She a vampire?"
"I think Stefan would have mentioned that so I am going to say no."
"Great, so we have to hide all the blood." He grumbled, grabbing a mug and squeezing the rest of the blood into the cup saying #1 BROTHER.
Damon had bought it for himself.
"She already left so you need not to worry," Elena explained as she scribbled away at the math problem she was doing wrong. She was going on sixty eight and still could not figure out simple algebra.
"You need help?" Damon asked, leaning over her.
"No, I think I got it. It helps when you write the problem down right," she muttered, finishing it the right way and closing the book.
"I met her. She seems really nice," Elena said getting them back on topic.
"Nice? My brother doesn't need a nice human girl. That never works out," he grumbled.
"Hey, I was once a nice human girl,"
"Yeah, like fifty years ago. Now you are my hot, vampire wife," Damon smirked, leaning down to give her warm kiss on cold lips.
"I love you," she smiled.
"Ditto, babe."
Stefan awoke to a lonely bed. She never stayed all the way through the night, so he wasn't surprised to find her side empty.
It's not her side.
She wasn't the first girl he took to this bed. No, that number was rather high. Of course, it would be for a man who had been alive as long as he had. He was used to having casual flings, but he had never had one go on as long as the one with Caroline Forbes.
He knew they were using each other. You don't call someone in the middle of the night because you wanted to talk. No, you did it to forget about all the bad thoughts running through your mind. Caroline seemed to have bad thoughts a lot. He never pushed her to talk because they weren't friends. They just liked the intimate company of one another. He would hear her cry whenever they had finished having sex, and he felt like he had done something wrong to her. Many times, he had thought to just leave her alone, but she always came back.
Caroline knew how to keep her walls up. She wasn't a cold person. She was actually a very sweet girl and was extremely optimistic, but it seemed rather forced. Maybe she felt the need to continue to be the girl she once but was no longer that girl.
She was rather selfless. She seemed to put everyone need's above her own. She was five seconds from castrating him when she had thought Elena was his wife.
Caroline was one of a kind. She was so strange, yet she seemed so sad. Stefan was an extremely aloof individual who very rarely showed emotion or even interest towards another human. Being alive for so long, you get tired of watching people go in and out of your life, and soon it becomes easier to become the brooding one who always looks annoyed.
Of course, he wish he could find someone like Damon had found Elena. They seemed to be happy. Hell, they even got married after fifty years of being together.
I guess they wanted to make sure it was true love.
No, Stefan wasn't bitter that he had yet to find someone to help through their problems or to hold when they were sad. Caroline could be that person if it wasn't for the fact she was human. He could see himself actually having a future with her, but he wasn't about to get attached just to watch her grow old die. Or worse, realize he was a monster and leave him.
"How would I know my voicemail password? I never set it up," Caroline growled, slamming her phone down rather annoyed. For months now, her phone had been popping up asking for a password. It had caused a few problems because she was sure people were leaving her voice mails.
"What are you ranting on about now?" The accented voice floated into her ears, and Caroline felt the smile envelop her.
"Enzo!" She jumped into his awaiting arms, and he squeezed her tightly.
"How is my favorite little sister doing?" He grinned putting her back on her own two feet.
Caroline shrugged, "I have had better days,"
"It gets easier, I promise," he whispered to her. He knew Liz's death was taking quite a toll on Caroline. He had mourned for the woman for months, so he could only imagine the pain Caroline was going through.
Caroline nodded finding comfort in the man in front of her. He had always been so good to her. Ever since they met, ten years before, he had felt an urge to protect the young blonde. Of course then, she was just a baby vampire. Now she had blossomed into a well- rounded adult, attending college for the first time in her nearly thirty years of life.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked as she picked up her things from the picnic table and started to walk with Enzo.
"I figured I would come check up on you and Bonnie. You both have had a hard year."
"She wants to bring him back," Caroline muttered, confused when Enzo didn't look as appalled as she felt. "Why aren't you pitching a fit over this? You are the old, wise vampire—"
"I'm not that old," Enzo grimaced.
"Be serious, Enzo, she can't bring him back."
"Well, actually, she can. She called me not to long back asking if it was possible, and it is."
"You're telling me that she can bring back a dead original with no consequences?" Caroline wasn't convinced.
"Yes, the only problem with this is by opening the 'portal' to the other side then she can potentially let Kai free."
Caroline's eyebrow raised. "Kai being the insane witch?"
"Precisely. If she can bring Kol out without also bringing Kai out then yes, she can bring back an original with no consequences."
"I guess it makes sense why she has been trying to get stronger." Caroline was shocked to learn Kol could potentially come back. She felt bad for the things she had said to Bonnie the night before. "Does Klaus know?"
"How do you think I figured it out? He has been hell bent on bringing Kol back. He seems to think it his fault Kol is no longer with us."
"Which it is," Caroline added. It was no secret that if Klaus had just not made so many damn enemies his brother would still be alive.
"Caroline," Enzo started, concerned by the looks being sent his way.
"Hmm?" Caroline was texting Bonnie a quick "I am sorry" before her next class.
"Who is this boy glaring at me from across the way?"
Caroline looked up from her phone only to lock eyes with Stefan. "Stefan isn't glaring that is just his face,"
"Well, how do you know his faces?" Enzo gave her a pointed look.
Caroline instantly blushed and refused to make eye contact with the man she saw as a big brother.
"Oh, Caroline," Enzo sighed rubbing his hands over his face.
"I am lonely, okay?"
"So join a book club."
Caroline bit her lip. "He helps me not think about her, okay?" she whispered.
"That will only work for so long. You can't just forget about your mom, Care." It was tough love. The only kind he knew.
She never talked about her mom, and it was a mistake to even think about her. The tears began to cloud her vision, and she instantly took off away from Enzo who called after her.
He knew he shouldn't have been listening in on their conversation, but he couldn't help it. He felt like he was intruding on her privacy, but he wanted to know who the man was. He wasn't jealous, not really, just curious. Maybe the man had some insight to why Caroline Forbes was so closed off.
He struggled within himself not to listen, but before he knew it her light voice flooded his ears.
"Which it is."
"Caroline." Stefan watched the older man harden his eyes on him. Stefan continued to look on as if he hadn't noticed. He continued to watch Caroline play around with her phone.
"Hmm?" She looked up at him with such admiration that Stefan's eyes hardened. He never got that kind of look from her. She didn't admire him. She pretty much admitted she wouldn't be shocked if he went as low to cheat on his hypothetical wife.
"Who is this boy glaring at me from across the way?"
He wasn't glaring. Okay, maybe he was slightly glaring. Only because he had known Caroline Forbes for eight months, and she had never mentioned this character.
That would require talking.
They talked. When it was needed. Mostly it consisted of see you later at my house or the occasional good night.
Caroline looked at him. She sent a very small smile towards him. Anyone but him wouldn't have noticed. He knew to look for those kinds of smiles from her.
"Stefan isn't glaring that is just his face." She tore her eyes away from him back towards the tall British man.
His face was not always set into a glare. It was just his thinking face.
"Well, how do you know his faces?" Stefan slightly smirked when she refused to make eye contact with the man.
Stefan slightly turned his body, not wanting her to see his expression. If she noticed him smirking, she might wonder why. How do you explain to someone who was out of ear shot that you can hear her speaking?
"Oh, Caroline." He seemed aggravated with her. Not in a jealous way, Stefan concluded. More in a protective way. They looked nothing alike, and he was obviously not from this country, but maybe they were related.
"I am lonely, okay?"
She seemed extremely sad. Stefan sighed. He knew he was being used, but it still sucked to know it was because the other person was lonely. Especially when he had such a dapper personality.
He could actually hear his brother scoff at the thought.
"So join a book club,"
Caroline bit her lip. "He helps me not think about her, okay?"
Her. Who is her? Is that why she cries? A sister, a mother, a best friend?
"That will only work for so long. You can't just forget about your mom, Care."
Even from this far away, he could see Caroline starting to get upset. He all about shot up out of his seat to take care of her. He wasn't positive why, but he didn't like her sad and he knew he could help her be happy. Even if it was for a few minutes.
He assumed her mom had recently died. It was the only thing that really made sense in the grand scheme of things. He felt an ache in his chest as he thought of his own mother. She had died when he was rather younger and even after all this time, he could still clearly remember the heartache of her being gone. He missed her, even now. She was the greatest woman in his life and he did not take her death well.
He hid from her when she got sick. He found reasons to leave the house that he resided in even today. He could not bear to even look at her. As a young boy, he did not understand why she was leaving him. He did not want to lose her and he thought if he avoided her than the situation was not real.
One day, when he had come home from school, he learned from a bitter Damon that their father had sent her away. Stefan never got to say goodbye. He only got a letter of condolences after she had passed. Her death would always haunt him for as long as he lived. He wished for another day with her.
Watching Caroline wipe tears as she walked away from the man, he came to understand her. He had felt that pain that ripped at your heart and wouldn't leave you alone. The pain of never wanting to get close to another human in fear of that pain.
He finally understood Caroline Forbes and his chest ached to fix her. But he remembered clearly not wanting anyone to fix him. He wanted to stay broken. He didn't deserve to be happy after not giving his mother the love she deserved.
So he let her walk away because he knew he couldn't help her.
She sat in her class with her heads resting on folded arms. She had finished her work, but her old bat of the teacher would not let her leave for another twenty minutes. She could always fake an illness. Say she wasn't feeling well and needed to leave.
She could do that, but then Enzo would be looking for her. She didn't want to deal with him and his judgey little eyes. She shouldn't be judged. She was twenty eight years old, and if she wanted to have sex with someone she should be allowed. She didn't need her 'big brother' to reprimand her for it.
"Hey." Caroline glanced up to see Elena Salvatore giving her concerned eyes.
Caroline had learned the day before that she and Elena also had Political History together. They had not spoken since Caroline had completely embarrassed herself.
"You okay?" Elena asked.
Caroline gave a smile. Elena was a nice girl. She was extremely reserved much like Caroline and probably would make a good friend. It wasn't like Caroline had a lot of those.
"Oh, yeah, I just ran into my brother, and he is mad at me." Caroline wasn't sure why she told Elena this. Maybe she was tired of keeping everything in. She knew she could talk to Bonnie about it, but Bonnie had so much going on that she didn't want to bother her on such silly trifles.
"Oh yes, dreaded sibling fights."
"I'm assuming you have siblings?"
"I had a brother." Elena gave a sad smile.
"I'm sorry." Caroline felt awkward. She didn't mean to bring up Elena's dead brother.
It isn't like you knew he was dead.
"It was a long time ago."
Caroline gave a slight nod. Maybe Elena could help her with her mom. She seemed to be living her life and is happy.
The teacher muttered they were dismissed. Caroline gathered all her things and plucked up enough courage to follow Elena and ask her more questions.
"Can I ask you something?" Caroline caught up with and lightly grabbed Elena's arm.
Elena turned slightly confused but still nodded, "Sure,"
"This might be way too personal for someone you just met, but when he first died, did you feel terrible for…" Caroline didn't know how to continue. She struggled with the words to explain herself. Elena looked at her not knowing what to say. "Did it feel wrong to have days where you laughed? Or when you started to feel happy?"
Elena gave her a sympathetic smile and nodded, "Yeah, but being happy isn't disrespectful to them. It doesn't mean you don't love them for continuing your life. They never asked that of you."
Caroline gnawed on her lip not knowing what else to say.
"You look like you need someone to talk to. I am done with classes if you want to get lunch."
Caroline nodded gratefully towards the brunette.
"I had lunch with Caroline today."
Stefan looked over at his sister in law and squinted his eyes. "And I care, why?"
"Yes, honey, tell Stefan why he would care that you had lunch with his fuck buddy," Damon smirked from his seat at the kitchen bar.
"Don't call her that." Elena pointed her whisk at him making him hold his hands in defense.
"Since when are you two so buddy buddy?" Stefan asked her.
"Since today when she seemed like she needed someone to talk to."
Stefan went back to reading his book assuming the conversation was over. Damon decided that was his time to make his exit, "Well I am off to see Alaric about our witch problem."
"Bye, love you." Elena gave him quick peck, and once Damon was out of the house, she turned to look at Stefan.
"You need to be nice to her."
"I am nice to her," Stefan objected, sitting his book down, knowing she wasn't going to make it able for him to read for a while. He stood up and made his way into the kitchen and jumped up on the counter, looking into the bowl she was pouring ingredients in.
"She is in a vulnerable spot."
"I know. She just lost her mom."
"How did you know that?"
"I heard her talking to some guy about it."
Elena gave him a disapproving look. "You listened in on a private conversation between her and her brother?"
So it was her brother. That is a weird thought. Stefan wondered how that came about.
"I wanted to know who he was," Stefan shrugged.
"Doesn't mean you get to listen in on the poor girl. Maybe if you got to know her you would know she has a brother or that her mom just died."
Stefan looked down in shame. Elena always had a way for making him feel bad about his decisions. "There is no point getting to know her. That leads to me telling her what I am and her running away."
"Not true. She could accept it."
Stefan scoffed, "And then what? She gets older, I stay seventeen. That might raise some thoughts."
"I'm not saying go out and marry the girl. I'm saying get to know her. She might be understanding. I was."
Stefan chuckled, "You shut the door in my face and told me you were going to call the cops."
"Yes, but when I calmed down I accepted it."
"And then you left me for my brother."
Elena sighed, "Even if Damon was not around, we still wouldn't have worked out."
"I know," Stefan smiled, dipping his finger in the mixing bowl full of brownie batter, "I just like to give you a hard time,"
"I'm serious. Just get to know her. She could use a friend."
And this is how it starts
Take your shoes off in the back of my van
Yeah my shirt looks so good,
When it's just hanging off your back
And she said, "Use your hands and my spare time—
We've got one thing in common, it's this tongue of mine."
She said
She's got a boyfriend anyway
there's only minutes before I drop you off
All we seem to do is talk about sex
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
I loved your friend when I saw his film
He's got a funny face
But I like that 'cause he still looks cool
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
Now we're on the bed in my room
And I'm about to fill his shoes
But you say no
You say no
Does he take care of you
Or could I easily fill his shoes?
But you say no
You say no
And now we're just outside of town
And you're making your way down
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
And I'm not trying to stop you love
If we're gonna do anything we might as well just fuck
She's got a boyfriend anyway
She's got a boyfriend anyway
You've got your tongue pierced anyway
You're in your high tops any day
You're in your skinny jeans anyway
You and your fit friends anyway
I'd take them all out any day
They've all got backcombs anyway
You've all got boyfriends anyway
