***Caroline's P.o.V.***
It has been an year since that wedding. It was supposed to perfect. It was supposed to be Alaric and Jo's special day. I was supposed to hide the grief of my mother's loss beneath the fuss of preparations, everyone was supposed to be happy.
But Kai ruined it all.
Alaric lost his wife and soon to be born twin kids. His world shattered that day. And as if that was not enough, Kai put a sleeping spell on Elena. And no, this sleeping spell would not be broken by her lover's kiss, it would break only when one of her best friends, Bonnie, dies. Even though Damon killed Kai eventually, the pain inflicted seems beyond repair.
It has been an year since I've seen Elena. I miss her! Things have changed so much with her gone.
I wish last year was only a nightmare I could wake up from, and then mom would hug me and tell me that everything is alright.
But mom is dead, Elena is in a spell that would break after decades, Bonnie has been staying in New York for a large part of the year, Matt has gone away for his Police training, Tyler has gone away I don't even know where, Damon and Alaric have totally devoted themselves to preventing the freaky heretics from creating havoc, and Stefan... He stays in Mystic Falls too and helps Damon and Alaric whenever there's a need.
He has been trying to make his mother see him and Damon as her sons again, he makes sure to go to New York every once in a while to check on Bonnie, he has given me the space to live a life without him but he calls at times to check if I am ok. I am glad that he snapped out of his escapist phase and is being himself.
He told me that he had feelings for me too and that he'd wait for me till I feel ready to have him back in my life. I wanted him in my life then and I want him now too. Before anything else he was my best friend, my support system, I miss him, but I am not yet ready to have him back. I, at times, feel my falling for him ruined everything for us. What was I thinking? I should have made peace, a long time ago, with the fact that I am never the one. Yes, he eventually said that he likes me but somehow I am not so sure. I know that I am important to him and he loves me but some part of me just can't accept that he is 'in love' with me, or that he can ever be... and till I have this feeling in my heart I am not going to make him a part of my life again, because I fear that if I shatter this time I might remain that way.
This last year I have been at college doing my Drama Majors, performing on and off the stage, having control over the little parts of life that I can have control over.
Control is all I have.
