2. Tyler

He'd been sat on the swing by her door for what felt like hours, he'd sit there for however long it took though. He needed to see her, to thank her. She'd been there for him from the beginning of his transformation. She'd been the only person who'd helped him through it after his Uncle Mason left. She'd stood by him the whole time in his transformation; even though he could have killed her; he wasn't sure if that part was brave or stupid.

His heightened wolf senses heard footsteps and he looked up, getting to his feet when he saw it was her. "Hey," he approached her as she momentarily paused on the step, looking surprised to see him, and not in a good way. "Where have you been?"

She shrugged, by now she was just in front of him. "Uh, school, uh. What's up, what do you want?"

He bowed his head. "We need to talk."

Giving him a confused look, she asked, "why?" He opened his mouth to shape words, but they wouldn't form. "What's wrong with you?" She giggled.

"I just don't understand one thing," He said. "Why would you risk it?" She gave him a look that implied she didn't know what he meant. What did he mean? Well, he meant any of it. All of it. "If a werewolf bite kills a vampire, why would you risk it?" He repeated.

"Because you needed help," she replied, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"I could have killed you!" He responded immediately, decidedly certain her reasoning wasn't enough.

She countered, "But you didn't." He stared at her.

They'd known each other since childhood but this was the first year he'd actually started to take notice of her. Some of the first things he took notice of were her selfishness, her insecurity, her control freak ways, then her willingness to help him, her loyalty. He sighed, staring into her eyes. "Man, I don't understand you Caroline."

She gave him that astounded look again, then pushed past him to the door, unlocking it and speaking as she did so. "Why is it so hard for you to let someone else help you?"

That wasn't what he'd meant. His brow crinkled. "Well, that's not it."

"Yeah, it is Tyler. It's like you don't want anybody to care about you. And I'm sorry" She spun around. "But I care. I care about you." She cared about him, like he cared about her. This couldn't be real. His parents had never cared. None of his friends had really. None of his past girlfriends either. But this girl had sat beside him so he wasn't alone in his time of need, despite the fact that it could have led to her death. "And I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries by actually giving a-" He was in love with Caroline Forbes.

He practically leapt over, holding her arms and then her face as he kissed her. He pulled back briefly, but she didn't pull away. She wanted this. She wanted him. He felt practically giddy. He held onto her, sucking on her delicious lips until she pushed him away from her, holding her hands up like she was praying. She shook her head and he just stared. "You can't do that!" He glanced at her unsure what to say except...

"I'm sorry!" He replied. "But I-"

She shook her head, her voice cracking as she practically shouted, "Everyone just needs to stop kissing me!" And then she rushed inside, slamming the door in his face as he stood with his arms held out in surrender.

AN: Next up (my favourite Caroline love interest), Klaus!
