A fresh start sorta

Damon has entered the chat(chapter 3)

For the bon fire I've decided to wear some loose black cargo pants and a white off the shoulder crop top. I enjoyed the large pants small shirt combo and this new version of Caroline has no choice but to adopt my preferred style. Calling up Dana I was able to get a ride with her to the party I refused to try and find it myself getting lost is not on my agenda. We arrive and its already booming people are everywhere there isn't a single place without some person being there. Sighing as I trek towards the fire the burning heat is needed to remind me this is real and not some fever dream. At least whoever is being DJ tonight is playing good music I sway to the beat with a solo cup filled with water my mind needs to be clear I can't risk being drunk when things go down cause who knows I might be the victim Damon chooses instead of Vickie. 

Stefan crosses my line of sight and I walk up to greet him but he seems to already be preparing to say that things will never happen between us. " Hello there Stefan, are you enjoying the party so far?" slightly shouting above the music. " Caroline I'm having a fine time and listen you've been friendly and all but we will be better off as friends" he stated while looking away from me following his gaze there is Elena. " Um okay all I did was ask if you were enjoying the party no need to get ahead of yourself man" was the last thing I said before almost storming away. The nerve of that man was killing me.

~~Time skip~~

I see Jeremy running out of the woods with Vickie in his arms shouting for help. All I can thing about is how Damon has struck and he is not a smooth criminal I mean jeez he really left her alive like for the plot I understand but he had no clue these things would have happened. Very careless on his part if we're to be honest like come on at least check to see if there is still a pulse I wonder why he seems to want to be caught so bad. As the police and ambulance come I make my way towards Bonnie it's our cue to leave. Will not let the already rocky relationship with Liz get any worse if she sees me here. Arriving at the grill Bonnie and I drink coffee to sober up my "drunk" self it felt best to go along with the original story line for now. " Bonnie I don't get it all I did was try and be friendly and he already assumes I am trying to get in his pants like sure he is cute or whatever but I would like to believe there are better looking men" I whine dragging out some words." Care he probably just thought you were being friendly cause you wanna be in his bed but it's not a competition to see who is nicest" Bonnie said in a tone I personally didn't like. How come everyone is so snarky towards Caroline sometimes. 

I look up and around the Grill and my eyes happen to come across the so called "older and hotter" Salvatore brother. Honestly nothing would bring me more joy than punching him across the face for what he did to original Caroline even though he has a character arc that is no way to act towards someone. Hopefully we can speed the timeline along some how and bring in all of the much better characters. Making eye contact he smirks and I can't wait till one day it gets wiped right off. Glancing around the room instead of looking at him again felt like the right decision not giving a reaction to his so called charm. 

Believing it's time to go Bonnie and I get up from our seats we pay for the coffee then head home. Knowing Liz will be home late getting home and making dinner was easy there was plenty of time to make my favorite beef stroganoff. After a while the food was done and just in time Liz/mom finally came home, I plate food for us then have our first actual mother daughter dinner. 

The next couple days dragged on until it was time for the comet to pass over Mystic Falls and I need to make sure I stay as far away from Damon as I could fearing that compulsion might work on me. Hours fly by and I help pass out flyers and candles as it gets closer to the comet shows above us, I walk around looking for Zack I want to see if he is willing to sell vervain to me. There will be no chance of me getting caught up because of these vampires they will be everywhere before we know it. Finally spotting him with some of the council members I approach knowing that I will be asking in front of all of them. "Excuse me Mr. Salvatore I have a question" I almost mumble when everyone person he was talking to looked at me. "Um, yeah sure. What can I help you with" he says hesitantly. "Would you be willing to sell vervain?" I see the eyes of every council member widen confused on why I am asking for it. "Sure but is there a particular reason why you're asking for it" he stares at me with a serious look in his eyes. "Uh well actually never mind forget I asked" the pressure behind all of the looks I received made me uncomfortable and regret washes over me for asking. One of the others speak up and it happens to be Carol Lockwood " No Caroline it's okay I am sure he is more than willing to sell you what you want right Zack" she said with a tight tone of voice. "Yes I can how much are you looking to buy" he questions. "Just enough to mix in with my tea for the next month I heard it was good for you and maybe for some for jewelry I enjoy the smell of it" I mustered the politest voice I could when speaking trying to make it sound like I didn't know what it was really for.

Now that its all sorted out I have people to see and conversations to listen to. Passing by Damon I feel his eyes follow me but instead of looking I keep my head high and act like I don't feel the stare. Feeling scared he might have heard what I talked about with the council I decided to head home early. Rushing to my car is sent a text to Bonnie and Elena saying I don't feel well so I am heading in for the night. Once I arrived I went straight to my room and got ready for bed tonight it is an extra large t-shirt and soft fluffy pj pants. Looking through my window I see a crow and knowing that is one of Damon's favorite things to use as a spy I close my curtains and will wait to see what happens tomorrow but for now its time to sleep.
