Is It Wrong? (A Klaroline Fic)

My Worst Distraction

Chapter 1: My Worst Distraction

"Is it wrong that I feel - ?"

"Victorious?"

She thought for the correct adjective, "Sad."

Tyler furrowed his brows in confusion glancing over at her, anticipating for her to explain.

"I know that Katherine is a horrible person, but..." She paused, not finding the words to express herself.

"But you see the good in people." Tyler concluded her thoughts, there was a slight tone to his voice that she quickly caught.

Caroline glowered over at him only to look away slowly nodding her head and then bringing her eyes to meet his once again, "You mean Klaus." She paused, "Because I saw the good in Klaus."

Tyler peered down at the ground and quickly back up at her, "Your words, not mine." He got up off the car's hood and paced a few steps away from her.

Caroline sighed as she also stood up walking in his direction, unable to believe he was bringing this up once again. He didn't have to say it, but his voice gave everything away.

"Your hybrid bite just killed someone and no one even batted an eye. I sleep with the wrong guy weeks ago and I don't hear the end of it! How is that fair?" She asked.

Tyler turned around to face her, "I don't know, Care. Maybe people just expect more from you."

"Why?" She asked raising her voice. "Because being good comes so easy to me? Well guess what, Tyler, it doesn't. I am a vampire. I have the same impulses as you, so I'm allowed to make some mistakes along the way. Yes, I slept with Klaus but after you walked away from me. That was my choice and I am living with it. And I don't need to be hearing about it every five seconds so just get over it or get out of my life. But - " She paused for a brief moment lowering her voice, "I'm done feeling guilty." She looked away from his baffled expression and stormed off to her car. She needed to get away from him and from everything that was going on.

Tyler was speechless as he could only watch her disappear into the night. He also left the Salvatore boarding house minutes later after recollecting his thoughts. He still simply could not believe her and her betrayal, even if it had been weeks ago. Klaus who was on top of everyone's hate list, who killed his mother, who slaughtered most of his friends, and who had him sired like his little slave for how long.

Tyler slammed his palm into his steering wheel out of rage as he drove home.

"Bastard." He muttered under his breath, undoubtedly referring to Klaus and all the pain he has caused him in the past. It frustrated Tyler how powerless he was against him, even when he had his little run in with him in New Orleans, Klaus effortlessly crushed him and any attempt at taking his life. Tyler back then returned to Mystic Falls, quitting his unavailing quest on killing Klaus to be with Caroline only to find out what she did. Even then, Klaus has managed to rip away more of the only life he had left.

With these thoughts, Tyler sped down the road rapidly approaching his house.

In no time, Caroline made it back to college. She was still fuming over how excessive Tyler has been towards her and her choices in the past few weeks. He did not even have a say after turning his back on her when she gave him the choice and he didn't choose her. She knew it was a mistake to sleep with Klaus but she didn't have any regrets. She was fed up on being everyone's second choice, when she had always been Klaus's first.

Caroline made her way up to her room closing the door behind her and turned on the lamp for a dim glow to fill the room.

She changed into some shorts and a tank and crawled into bed under her covers. She grabbed her phone off the end table and brought it above her face. She unlocked her screen expecting a text from Tyler but instead found a text from Stefan.
