Life doesn't come with instructions or manuals to guide us. The decisions are sudden, realisations later. People are blamed their whole life for their mistakes though. I think by mistakes, we learn about right and wrong, about truths and lies and their outcomes make us a strong person. Everyone around me, who I thought were incapable of hurting people intentionally somehow proved me wrong. They hurt people around them one way or another. The thing I didn't understand was while some were forgiven so easily, others suffered. They were blamed to the point where they think there is no way back now, they think there is no redemption for them and they continued believing that whatever they will do will not be acknowledged other than being wrong.
Seeing my so-called friends' reactions when I told them about my decision, I came to acknowledge that they didn't realise their wrong deeds, they just blamed. After I decided to head to New Orleans, the next day I told everyone.
We were gathered in the Salvatore mansion.
"I want to inform you all about something." I said out loud. Everyones' gaze turned to me as they waited for me to say what I wanted.
"I am going to New Orleans." I said and their eyes widened like I had told them someone died. A long, pregnant silent ensued making me uneasy. I was not going to depend on them nor was I going to change my decision. I was tenacious for what I had resolved.
"What?" Damon sneered, his demeanour of utter disbelief.
"You heard right. I am going to New Orleans" I replied calmly.
"So you are trying to say is that you are going to leave this all behind but for what?" A smile lighted his face as he snapped his fingers, "Let me take a wild guess. Klaus Mikaelson."
"That's none of your business Damon. I am informing, not asking for your futile opinions." I rolled my eyes as a sign of indifference.
"But really Care why?" Said Bonnie raising her brows but her expression wasn't judgemental as the others were possessing right then.
"A break will do me good." I smiled a little.
"Lets not pretend. Want things clear or another round? Huh?" Said Damon with a smirk. I must ignored him.
Stefan was sitting quietly. I didn't know what he was thinking. I wanted him to say something because his opinion mattered the most to me, it did more than all the other's.
"Stop it Damon but Caroline we don't want mess or anything. Going to New Orleans will only cause trouble." Damon just rolled his eyes awhile Elena wore her signature angelic expression.
"Have fun and party hard." Bonnie said with a smile amd I nodded faintly returning her smile. I was happy that she was not accusing Klaus for everything, that she understood me, she really did.
Elena and Damon got up but not before criticising him more and telling me not to go and stay out of trouble when I knew they didn't care about me but themselves. Elena did at some point but being with Damon had changed her in so many ways.
When they were gone Stefan finally spoke up "Caroline if you want to clear the confusions then go. I know you care for Klaus even if you don't admit it openly. Just do what feels right. Do what makes you happy. " He said with a reassuring smile.
"Your mind is jumbled and you need to sort everything out. Believe me you've been a little bitchy lately." Bonnie said with a a mischievous expression. I picked up a cushion from the couch and threw it at her which she caught laughing.
I was worried for Stefan. He would be alone after I go. I knew he was in pain seeing Elena with Damon already. But at least he had me.
As if he on cue he said "And don't worry about me. I will be fine, I am. You just worry too much." He said nodding. What? Why had they teamed up against me?
"Yeah. You have nothing to worry about. Just go and don't you go all motherly on us now. We can take care of ourselves." She said in a teasing voice.
"Hey stop it you both." I said chuckling.
My phone rang in my jeans pocket. I fished it out and saw Enzo's name illuminating the screen. A fond smile masked my features. I accepted the call and stood up awhile, walking a little away.
"Hello darling." His thick British accent rang in my ears.
"Hello Enzo." I replied staring out from the window.
"I am coming straight to the point here. I heard you are leaving." He remarked in a serious tone.
"How did you...." I was stopped mid sentence.
"I have my resources." He reminded me of Klaus in so many ways. The similarity was surreal. I rolled my eyes at his reply albeit he couldn't see it.
"Very promising resources indeed." I replied and heard a chuckle in response.
"I see you really are fond of British accents. Damon was right for once." He stated and I could practically see his smirk.
"Seriously? Are you really in for that conversation?" I said.
"You know I can listen to you for as long as possible love." His reply would have made me queasy but I was used to of that by then so I just laughed it off.
"You are well aware that I will pay a visit every so often. Wouldn't want you yo feel alone now do we?" He said and I smiled because yes I knew he would visit me and so did I knew that I could count on him in time of need.
"Thanks Enzo. Thanks for everything." I responded gratefully.
"Goodbye love." He said.
"Goodbye Enzo."
