7 months earlier

Today was the day that I dreaded. My birthday. I was awoken to the sound of my mothers voice.

"Caroline?" Liz called out while walking into my bedroom holding a chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and a lit candle pushed into the cake. "You didn't think I forgot your birthday?" Liz said, knowing her comment was rhetorical. "Happy Birthday Caroline - I know you don't like to celebrate your birthdays - but I do. So I guess you have to make a wish and blow out the candle for me."

I did what she said. I closed my eyes and faked a wish, and blew out the candle.

"Was that so hard?" Liz said as a grin skyrocketed across her face. "Now get dressed. Tyler is waiting for you outside." Liz smiled, placing the birthday cupcake on Caroline's desk as she walked out of the room.

I got dressed, exited for Tyler to be outside waiting for me. I wonder what he had planned.

When I was all ready, I walked outside and was greeted by my perfect boyfriend.

Tyler's body was leaned up against his car, showing off his strong build in a black v-neck Tee that fit him just right. His Jeans were placed perfectly around his hips. Then he smiled at me and said, "Hey, beautiful."

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I said, pretending to discard the fact that it was my birthday.

"Well -" Tyler smiled wider and continued, "I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, of course." he said. "I'm taking you out on an adventure." He said as his grin got to the point where every inch of his face was covered with it. "Come on." Tyler said getting off the car and taking my hand, guiding me to the car.

I saw my mom through the window smiling and waving at me. I felt so happy, and in that moment, everything seemed like all the tragedy and hurt was over.

Tyler took me all around the town. He showered me with gifts and food. We went back to his place because I wanted to show him how much I appreciated him.

As we arrived on his porch I kissed him quickly but gently showing him that I wanted him. As the kiss deepened, we opened the door and made our way inside, never breaking the kiss. That was until I heard a familiar voice say, "OH MY GOD!" In an instant, I turned around only to be put face to face with the one and only Haley. I was completely shocked.

"What are you doing here Haley!?" I spit out, irritated that she ruined the moment.

"No- I think the better question is what is she doing here!?" Haley said looking to Tyler suggesting that their was something that I didn't know. My mind went crazy with possibilities, but I wouldn't let her get to me. I could be totally wrong about this situation that I am in.

"Haley-" Tyler said as he looked at Haley and then back to me. He looked - guilty.

"No... - Tyler...- This isn't what it looks like right," I said trying to keep my voice even and on the verge of tears. "right?"

He didn't respond. His silence confirmed what I had been afraid of. Tears shot down my face almost instantly, and I started to walk out the door when his arm connected with mine.

"Please - Care - You don't understand..." Tyler said trying to get me to look at him.

"DO NOT TOUCH ME!" I said as all my anger and hurt rushed to the surface, causing me to scream. "HOW COULD YOU? AFTER EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH!?"

I knew then that I was at a point of now return.

"It was only a couple of times, it didn't meaning anything!" Tyler said trying to justify himself.

"It didn't mean anything. Thats not what you said when you were making love to me." Haley said smirking at the memory, leaving me disgusted. I started to walk out the door and I turned around one last time for the 6 last words.

"DON'T - EVER, TALK TO ME AGAIN!"

I walked out the door using my vamp speed and I raced to my car and put the key's into the engine.

I took the long way home. I needed time to pull myself together so my mom wouldn't try to ask me what happened. When I drove home, hoping to just escape, I pulled into the driveway only to find Tyler waiting on my porch. Shit. So much for my mom not knowing about this.

"Go away." I said bitterly. I never wanted to see him again. Did I not make myself clear enough for him?

"No. I am not leaving until we talk."

"We already talked Tyler, you know when Haley mentioned the part where you have been lying and deceiving me this whole time." I tried to dodge him only to have him two feet away from my face. I pushed him away from me and walked into the house. Obviously he didn't get the hint. He followed me into the house. My mom saw us both come in and her smile faded when she saw my face that had look like it was about to burst into tears.

"What happened?" Liz said walking up me reexamining my face. "Tyler I think you should leave."

"No. Not until Caroline talks to me." Tyler said more determined than ever.

"Tyler you need to leave. Before I get my deputy over here and make you leave." Liz threatened.

Tyler ignored Liz, pushing her to the side.

"This is about your feelings for Klaus isn't it? You've been wanting a way out and now you've got it." Tyler said putting words into Caroline's mouth. Caroline slapped Tyler across his face leaving his head turned to his left side of his body.

"Don't you dare, Tyler! Klaus has nothing to do with this! I am the faithful one, remember!?"

"Whatever you tell yourself to sleep at night, but you and I both know that this wasn't my fault." Tyler said turing his face to Caroline's stepping a foot closer. Caroline attempted to slap Tyler again but his reflex caught her arm.

Liz walked out of the room and into the kitchen and grabbed the phone. Both Tyler and Caroline heard her make the phone call to the police station for Benny, her Deputy.

Tyler started to get really angry. His bones started to break. He was in transformation.

Liz walked out with a tazer gun putting it to his hip, when suddenly Tyler grabbed Liz and through her at the wall. Caroline and Tyler heard a 'SNAP' and Tyler stopped transforming and fell to his knee's realizing what he had done.

Caroline vamp speeded over to her mother checking for a pulse. - she didn't find one.

Caroline started to cry as she tried feeding her mom her blood, but it was too late. She was dead.

Caroline turned her head. Tyler was nowhere to be found. She never saw him again.

7 months later

Every night since 7 months ago, she woke up to the same nightmare, her mom - dead. Only to remember that it wasn't a nightmare, it was her life. Everyday she woke up thinking, 'its okay it was only a dream', and has to relive her mothers death over and over again.

I always thought of what I could have done to save her, and one recurring thought comes to mind. What if I told the truth. I finally realized, I had to tell the truth. Today is the day where I don't hide my feelings, especially towards Klaus.

He has always been there for me. He never made me feel worthless or like scum. He made me feel wanted. And over time I realized that, I didn't feel wanted, but that I wanted him. Tyler had seen it even before I had. Even though I hated him, he had been right about that one thing.

I got dressed and thought about my mom. I would be strong for her. She would of wanted me to be strong in her absence.

I drove to the Michealson's residence and knocked on the door. Rebekah opened the door and tried to slam it shut but I stopped it, expecting this kind of a response from her.

"What do you want Caroline?" Rebekah said trying to make the littlest conversation to get to the point. I sort of admired that about her.

"I wan't to see Klaus." I said keeping my cool. She finally let me in giving me a sigh, showing her disapproval for her brother and me.

"Caroline? What are you doing here?" Klaus said walking to me trying to keep me as close to the door as possible. Rebekah walked away sometime in between Klaus's greeting.

"I need to tell you something... it's important." I said starting to get nervous. I was about to pour my heart out to him. I smiled.

"Can it wait Caroline?" Klaus said trying to make the conversation as quick as possible, looking over his shoulder.

"No...-" I said smiling bigger " Klaus I- I am in love with you. I have been in love with you, for a long time. I just never knew how to say it before... - I wan't us to be together." I said with a smile on my face that got much bigger than it already was. His reaction was not what I expected. My heart was racing fast. Why wasn't he saying anything?

"Caroline..." Klaus started when he got interrupted by a shocking face. I saw a women walk out in a robe and realized the face.

"Haley?-" I was crushed. I felt a really uncomfortable deja vu through the mansion's foyer. Seeing her again made me think of Tyler - my mom. Tears fell down my face as Klaus stood still. He knew about Haley. Why was she here! Haley started to approach me and my feet were stuck in the very spot I was in. I was looking down at my feet trying to comprehend the situation that I was in, again. Haley's hand slowly reached my cheek and stroked it softly.

"I bet your wondering why I am here. - Well I am going to just say it," she said backing away from me, "because no one is speaking here and its getting too - heavy. Klaus and I are sleeping together. Making sweet, hot and sexy love together." My heart dropped to the floor as Haley spoke those words. They stabbed like a knife into my heart. A tear dropped down my face. Haley noticed my tear and started to laugh. "Damn Caroline- all the men in your life want me and not you. First Tyler, now Klaus, I wonder who will be next." Haley tilted her head and grinned so big it was almost as big as the sun.

Klaus just stood there, not looking at me, and especially not in my eyes. He didn't even try to defend me. Haley kept talking. "How does it feel Caroline, to always be second best."

I finally managed to speak a word and when I did Klaus's eyes finally met mine. I looked back to Haley. "Go to Hell." I said trying to even out my pitchy voice. Haley noticed Klaus looking at Caroline and continued.

"No one loves you Caroline, not even your own father." Haley's last words stung and it felt like the wind blew out her.

"You're right," I said believing my own words. Haley was shocked at my reaction.

Klaus finally said something. "Thats not true, love."

"It isn't?-" I said inching my way to the truth. " I am unloved. The only person that loved me is dead. There is nothing here for me anymore. I am- a waste of space..." My voice was gradually getting softer. You could feel the hurt in my voice. " I -" I said looking to Haley. I was done. "Kill me. Stake me. End me-" I said nodding my head giving her proof that I really wanted to die and Haley looked at me shocked, but a smile grew on her face, "gladly." She moved closer and Klaus grabbed her neck and snapped it. She fell to the floor. Klaus acted like hurting her didn't affect him.

"Caroline, DON'T talk like that!" Klaus said starting to show his emotions.

"Why? Its the truth. I can't do this anymore. I'm DONE. There's nothing and no one, left for me anymore." I said emphasizing the no one part.

"Caroline, I am not letting you die, EVER. I do love you!" Klaus said hoping that I would stop with all the death talk. "Come on I want you! I have always chosen you!" Klaus said raising his voice to clarifying what he was saying was true. But I didn't believe him.

"Chose me? You just stood their. You didn't do anything to stand up for me. YOU JUST STOOD THERE!- You made your choice-" I paused for a moment taking in what truth of the next words I was about to say, really meant to me. "It just wasn't me."

The truth had finally set in. I looked into his eyes one last time, while multiple tears streamed down my face. I bit the inside of my cheek to force out the next word.

"Goodbye." I walked out as fast as I could leaving a breathless Klaus standing in the foyer, staring at me walk away, and not doing anything to stop me.

I drove out of Mystic Falls and by the next night, I was in New Orleans. I needed to leave. Every, single, memory of that place reminded me of failure, deceit and pain.

I walked through the streets of New Orleans until I saw a beat down bar that looked like no one was there. Maybe I could feed on the bartender, and possibly get a drink from him too. I sat at the bar hitting the counter letting him know that I wanted a drink.

"Bourbon, on the rocks, thanks." I said so naturally. I was ready to drink my sorrows away.

"ID please?" The bartender said. I looked into his eyes. "I am over 21, you checked my ID, and you will let me feed from you when I want to, no hesitations." I said. The bartender went to fetch my drink. Just as soon as he left someone had come and sat beside me. I looked up and thought, just my luck.

"Caroline?" Kol said, shocked while similing at me.

"Kol." I said not caring for his company.

" So -" Kol said trying to make conversation. "what brings you to New Orleans?" he asked while winking at me.

The bartender gave me my drink and I chugged it down in one gulp and tapped the bar gesturing that I wanted another one.

"Just - leaving." I replied trying not to make eye contact with him.

"I'm sure Nik will not be so happy to hear that." Kol said tilting his head and smiling at me, but looked away soon after as the bartender gave Kol the same thing that I had.

"Screw Nik-" I said bitterly as I grabbed Kol's drink and chugged it down as well as the drink that the bartender had brought me. Kol looked at me staring into me trying to figure out what was wrong with me. When that didn't work he flat out asked.

"What is the matter, Caroline? Not that I care - because I hate Nik and all, but you don't seem too bad..." He said gesturing a quick but comforting smile my way and suddenly looking down, making me smile in return. It was almost nice of him. I looked away and slowly drank my bourbon instead of chugging it down. Was Kol being NICE?

Back in Mystic Falls

Klaus picked up his phone and dialed Caroline's number about 100 times in the past day. "I should of went after her, why didn't I go after her." Klaus said talking to himself. He finally gave in and called the one place he didn't want to call, Stefan.

Stefan: What do you want Klaus?

Klaus: Have you talked to Caroline today?

Stefan: No... why?

Klaus: Because something happened and she has not called me back. I am worried.

Stefan: It's Caroline. You guys always get in these fights Klaus. This is not news to me. Call me when something important is going on. Or how about don't call me at all.

Stefan was about to hang up the phone when Klaus said, "Stefan, this is important... Haley was there." Stefan put the phone back to his ear.

Stefan: What the HELL happened?!

In New Orleans

"What did Nik do this time?" Kol said trying to figure out what is going on between the two of them.

"I don't want to talk about it." Caroline said while going back to her old ways and chugging the Bourbon.

"Okay..." Kol replied, not really sure what to say.

"You want to help me?" Caroline asked while she stern-fully looked into his eyes.

"With what sweetheart?" Kol said as a small but suggestive grin appeared onto his face.

"Compell me to turn off my emotions." Caroline said with the most serious voice she has ever used. "Please."

Kol's POV:

She wanted me to compell her! This is where I can get my revenge for all of those years where he daggered me. Plus Caroline wasn't bad company, and she would make a delicious sidekick.

"Ok." Kol said while taking one last sip of his drink while pulling me into one of the back rooms.

"Whats the catch Kol?" I said waiting for Kol to tell me the requirements.

"Nothing." Kol said as he looked at me seriously. It looked like Stefan's 'Hey it's Tuesday look'.

"Nothing? Is this some kind of sick joke, because if it is I want no part of it." I said as I started to walk away, but Kol grabbed my arm and the warmth of his hand made me stay.

"There is no requirements. I will give you what you want, if you really want it." Kol said suggestively, like if she wanted him not to, to speak now or forever hold her peace.

"I do." Caroline said with no regrets.

"Okay then-" Kol cupped my face with his hands and looked deep into my blue eyes with his brown ones and compelled me." Caroline... Turn it off.. Just- Turn it off."

The light in Caroline's eyes went out and the whole rooms vibe had changed. Caroline just stared at Kol emotionless. No sign of humanity for miles. She stood their in Kol's hands, feeling absolutely numb.

Back in Mystic Falls

"She told you she loved you! That she wanted to be with you?!" Stefan repeated and repeated this statement trying to absorb the information that was just told to him. "No... Caroline is way too smart for that.- Is this a joke Klaus, because it's not funny." Stefan said. He thought that the only logical answer was that Klaus was playing him. But deep down, Stefan knew Caroline had feelings for Klaus.

"I'm not joking, Stefan." Klaus was now annoyed.

"I'll call her." Stefan said as Damon walked in overhearing the whole conversation Klaus and Stefan were having.

"Bullshit." Damon smugly replied. "Even Blondie is not that stupid."

"Shut up, Damon." Stefan said while looking towards Damon. Was Stefan defending Klaus?

Stefan called Caroline's number but no one answered.

"She probably got annoyed of your hundred calls, and threw her phone into the lake. I know I would have." Damon sarcastically remarked.

Stefan looked at Damon and was annoyed. Damon threw his hands up in a fake 'sorry bro' remark that spoke louder than words. At this point Klaus was ignoring the immature Damon, and was horribly worried about Caroline.

Back In New Orleans

Kol had suggested that I stay the night at his place because I had no where else to stay. We walked into the house and it was as big as a Michealson house would be. Not as articulate as the others were, because it was not decked out with paintings and art like Klaus's was, but it was expected.

"Do you want something to drink?" Kol asked Caroline.

"Yeah... -" She said slowly walking towards him and placing her fingers on his neck and making circle patterns right next to one of his big veins.

"I would love one." She said as her head slowly dipped down until her lips met his neck. She kissed on top of his vein softly.

"Caroline-" Kol groaned from the pleasure. This was so unexpected, even though her emotions were off. She released from him and he turned around to face her.

She gently kissed up his jawline until she reached the corner of his mouth and teased him by sliding her lips once horizontally to the right against his, until she moved away from his mouth to look at his face. Her hands touched his buff exterior and traveled their way down to his belt.

"No Strings. No attachments. Got it." Caroline said in a low and seductive voice.

"Got it."

She teased him by moving her hands a little ways between his pants.

"Caroline, if you don't stop teasing me like that I am going to through you against the wall and ravish you until you are no longer able to walk."

In a low and seductive voice she said, "challenge accepted" and she grabbed the front of his belt and pant layer close to her body and he grunted when his body made contact with hers. She kissed him hard.

The next thing she knew she was up against the wall with her legs wrapped around him. He broke away from the kiss for two seconds tops to say something.

"I am a man of my word Caroline." Kol said as she pushed her even further into the wall kissing her again. He ripped off her shirt which made her giggle and she responded by doing the same to him. This was going to be an interesting night she thought.

Without breaking the kiss she brought her legs down onto the ground and took control, pushing Kol onto the bed.

In Mystic Falls

Klaus called Caroline one last time and left one last voice message:

"Caroline, I know you think that I was lying to you,- but I wasn't. I LOVE YOU CAROLINE. I am going to fight for you. No matter what. Call me okay. You are my greatest weakness, love. I'm nothing without you. You mean more to me than you know, Caroline. Just know that.- Bye."

Klaus hung up the phone. He looked up into the stars. He did not believe in God, but he still asked him to bring Caroline home to him.
