chapter 30

Caroline walked down to the bar with sexual strides. Her outfit was fitted to a black zip up skirt and a red lace top.

"I can't believe you convinced me to do this!" Caroline said loudly, trying to over-speak the loud blaring music

"Caroline you needed a night out!" Stefan shouted, ordering a few shots of tequila for them

"You're right! I needed this! I needed to stop meticulously cleaning my room and organizing my drawers. I need to go out there!" Caroline Shouted victoriously, pumping her fist in the air

Stefan's eyes trailed over to a blonde girl that looked starkly like Rebekah. Caroline saw this and pushed her friend lightly, shouting aloud, "Go!"

Stefan shook his head and looked at her, "No way I was the one who convinced you to do this and I can't just ditch you." Even if Stefan's words seemed genuine caroline could see his wandering eye as he watched Rebekah

"I'll be fine Stefan, I'm just gonna sit here and get drunk!" Caroline smiled and took a shot, loving the warm liquid dripping against her throat

"You're the best caroline and I promise I'll be there to drive you home," Stefan said with a smile as he walked over to Bekah.

"You really are kind." A husky voice said in her ear, a voice caroline immediately recognized as Klaus's.

"Klaus..." caroline mumbled, involuntarily as she leaned against him

"I've missed you, love," Klaus said gently, turning her and putting her into his lap

"Klaus, I-I can't," Caroline said, pushing against his chest and wobbling to the door in her tipsy state

"Love, please just wait." He said, grabbing her hands to steady caroline.

The wind hit them both as they walked out the door from the nightclub and into the frigid night

"Klaus, I know what it's like to lose a parent, and you took hers," Caroline said with tears sprouting her eyes. Klaus's eyes narrowed and anger bubbled in him

"So it's all my fault? I'm the monster? Bloody hell I was an idiot for thinking you'd ever see me as anything except the big bad hybrid." Klaus growled, his eyes piercing hers

"Maybe you are the monster! You know I really thought you cared about me! Clearly, you don't!" Caroline Shouted back

"I was the one that saved you! Not one of your so-called friends did!" Klaus walked so close to her that caroline was pinned against the oak tree

"I-" Caroline started, her words catching in her throat at the close proximity

"What Love? Cat got your tongue?" Klaus snarled coming even closer than caroline thought possible

"I hate you!" Caroline Shouted, pushing against his chest desperately

"No! You hate your feelings for me. You hate that you fancy me." Klaus said, his lips inches from hers

Caroline's eyes widened as his placed his lips against her cheek, it was soft, which contradicted him powerful stance and angered eyes, his lips caressing her skin softly, "But if you can't except that yet, I shall wait, I'm a very patient man." And with one last hot breathe caroline was left alone in the forest. Her feelings tangled in a web of confusion. She had accepted her feelings for him weeks prior. Accepted that she felt towards him.

But now she wasn't sure she could. Not after seeing first hand how monstrous he could be. Caroline felt a stain of regret spilling over her conscious as she thought about his words, I shall wait.

Klaus couldn't possibly have meant it?

Could he?

Caroline breathed in a sigh of relief as she reached Stefan's house. Knocking her fist against the door aggressively caroline was met with Stefan's tired eyes and gloomy atmosphere.

"Oh c'mon as your self appointed sober sponsor you simply cannot go all Wednesday Adams on me." Caroline said, her hands placed at her lips and her lips scrunched into an accusatory pout

Rolling his eyes stefan leaned gingerly against the doorframe, a sigh of relief coming through his lips, "Thank god caroline! I was so worried!"

"You better have been," caroline grunted, sashaying into the threshold and grabbing his hand, "I am so angry that you made me go to that bar! You won't believe who was there when you left! Klaus!"

Stefan sighed and took him upstairs as she ranged and raged about just how inappropriate of behavior he showed and how she couldn't believe she had even thought they could be something. "Care, I honestly think you should give him a chance," stefan said with a sigh as she placed herself on his bed

"What the hell do you mean!" Caroline shouted angrily, clenching her hands into little fists

"I mean that we all know how you feel. And the more you deny it the more oh are just screwing yourself. Besides caroline honestly, We've all done bad things, Klaus just accepts it. And you can accept me being a rippah than why can't you accept him?"

Caroline groaned and threw her head back, "I hate when you're right."
