Hello readers!

You guys are so amazing for your patience and Favourites and Follows and Reviews. I truly love y'all.

But I'm not here just to rant, I have news!

THE CONTINUATION IS DONE.

No, this is not a drill.

As you read this I am busy uploading the continuation of this 'one-shot' (well perhaps not as you read, depending on how soon you read this, but you get my point).

Let's be real, we're all here because we love Klaus and Caroline tons, so because the first chapter of the continuation doesn't begin with a Klaroline scene, I figured I'd give you a sneak peek of what happens when it does come!

So that's what this chapter contains and if you're too impatient, you can just skip down to the bottom and go find the name of the continuation.

Enjoy :)

"You could have at least said goodbye."

Klaus' eyes had devotedly been following Caroline's every movement since the second she had walked into the room ten minutes ago, but now they focused in on her even more.

She wasn't looking at him; simply staring at the suitcase she had just opened, but he could see the hurt in her eyes. It stung. He had not realised that anything he could do could hurt her to the degree he saw in her eyes. Short of killing her boyfriend, that is. Which reminded him.

"I thought Tyler would serve as both a graduation and a farewell gift."

Her gaze flicked over to him before returning to the contents of her suitcase.

"Yeah and wasn't that a thoughtful gift," she muttered.

Klaus frowned. Had that been sarcastic? Now he had no clue what was happening.

"You didn't want Tyler to come back?" he asked tentatively.

She stilled. She knew he was confused, but she couldn't help. Never would she be able to tell him that as soon as he had uttered the words, her heart had leapt. Not because her relationship with Tyler could continue, but because she would have the chance to put a final end it.

And maybe, just maybe, start one with someone else.

But she couldn't ever tell him that. It was too late. He had left and she'd made a decision. But there was something she could tell him.

"I didn't want you to leave," she admitted, then immediately regretted choosing to say it.

She mentally cursed. Saying that to him gave him power over her. He would think that he could stay here. That everything could continue from where they'd left off.

Before he'd left.

He was wrong.

Don't hate me! Instead mosey on over to Our Dark Soul to check out the rest and put things into context J
