A/N:  Here comes the mind blowing Care and Elena chapter. Really wanna thank you guys that have been voting and commenting! -Mickey

Caroline stopped to get a blood bag before going to Elena's. She had no idea what to expect when she told Lena that she and Bonnie were going with the enemy. Once she'd drained her B positive blood bag she made her way to the Salvatore boarding house. She knocked on the front door but instantly regretted it when she heard the breaking of glass.

"oh god, please tell me that's not what I think it is.." Care thought to herself as she stepped through the threshold. She walked in to find Elena pissed and Damon throwing all the liquor bottles. "Uhh, is this a bad time?..." Caroline asked the angry couple warily.

"Oh no Care, just the person I need. Tell me, what you think about Damon's amazing actions on our pity date." you could see the anger in her eyes as she spoke.

Elena went on to explain that the entire time they were at dinner, Damon continuously threw back bourbons and hit on their waitress in front of her. "Seriously Damon.. come on?" i said exasperated.

"I wasn't even flirting with her! Elena here is just looking for an excuse to run back to my dear hero-haired brother!"

I could see that Damon seriously thought Elena still loved Stefan, but her and i both know that Elena and Stefan were over long before they knew it. Still, at least Damon was showing SOME type of emotion. I know he loves Elena, but I don't think they're meant to be. After the sire bond was broken i think they lost what they truly had.

"Damon, Elena isn't leaving you for Stef! Calm down! I have news and I want to tell you and then you can go back to breaking expensive bourbon bottles and screaming!!" I gave them both a scolding look while gesturing them to the couch. "Bonnie, Stefan and I are going to Chicago.." I said warily "with the Mikaelsons."

"Would you look at that, Blondie's finally giving in to the big bad hybrid. Is Tyler not supernatural enough for you?" Damon asked with malice. I know he's hurt but I'm about to snap his neck.

"Actually ass, Tyler has been cheating on me with Hayley. So we're getting away from this dreadful town to Windy City for a while. And use that tone with me again and I'll break your ribs. Klaus and I are just friends, not that I need to explain myself to you."

By now I was pissed off and I hadn't noticed Elena's thinking facial expression. I had expected screaming from the rooftops or snide remarks about getting my "perfect feathers ruffled" but nothing had been said yet.

Suddenly she said something I'd never expected. "Do you think Klaus would let me come with?"

I stood with my mouth hanging open, completely taken back. "Oh so now you're just gonna run away from this? Really mature Elena. I always knew you never felt the same after the sire bond!" Damon was deflecting his hurt with anger. Elena put her hand on his knee in an attempt to reassure him.

"I did love you Damon. I think I always will. I just don't think I'm still in love with you. I need some time, and I think maybe you do too. Let me go, please."

Damon nodded solemnly and went up the stairs, I'm sure to drink himself into a stupor. My eyes met Elena's and I saw the hurt there. I hugged my friend with as much love and comfort as I could. I then stepped out to call Klaus.

"Hello love, you're not calling to cancel now are you?" he asked.

"No, actually. I'm calling to ask if I can bring a couple carry ons with me. Elena and Bonnie maybe? Pleeeeaseeee."

"Tell the witch and doppelgänger to be ready in the morning. If they're late they are getting left behind in this retched town. I'll see you soon, sweetheart."

With that he hung up and I realized that I didn't want him to. This day had been crazy and his voice actually gave me comfort. I went back in to tell Elena to pack and be ready by tomorrow morning to meet us at the Mikaelson mansion.

By now it was almost seven o'clock and the memory of Hayley and Tyler was seared into my brain. I was always second best... Well. Maybe not always, Klaus seemed to make me a priority. He was there for me even in his wildest and busiest moments. After every betrayal he still showed kindness and mercy to me.

I had packed and left a note for my mom as I was sure she would be home by tomorrow afternoon. She had already left for the night shift. My house was quiet and dark and I was lonelier than ever. After about 20 minutes into staring at my dark ceiling I began to cry.

I'm not sure why it started but I couldn't get it to stop now. I just kept crying and sobbing until I knew I needed someone. So i called him.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?"

"I can't get it to stop.."

"Caroline, calm down. I'll be there soon."

I knew he was here when I felt a breeze enter my room. His strong arms wrapped around me from behind and his warm breath was grazing my neck. I almost instantly felt a wave of relief. After I had relaxed and the sobbing had stopped I turned around to face him.

His blue eyes were staring straight through me as he asked me "Love, what's going on? why are you crying?"

"I don't know.. It was so quiet and then I realized I was all alone. Once I started it was like I couldn't stop.. Thank you for coming. I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, darling. I'll always be here for you. You will always be safe with me... Would you like to come stay at the mansion tonight? You can stay in a spare bedroom if you'd like. At least you will not be alone. My family will protect you."

"Can I stay with you? Just for tonight, if that's okay.." I couldn't bring myself to look at him. I felt like a child in his big arms. Curled into his chest he lifted me off my bed and sped to his mansion into his room.

"You can always stay with me, sweetheart. Don't be embarrassed to ask. You're always welcome here."

Still clad in my outfit from today I walked to his well stocked closet and put on one of his long sleeve Henley's and a pair of sweatpants. Blushing as I came out of the closet in his clothes I went to lay on his bed ignoring the smirking hybrid on the other side.

"Thank you for being so kind to me. You have done nothing but save me and show me remorse while I have been spiteful. I am sorry, Klaus. I should've seen the real you when you showed me."

Before he could answer I kissed his cheek and rolled back over under the covers. Feeling his arm wrap around my waist I knew there wasn't anyone in the world who could keep me safer. I drifted into blissful sleep hoping to dream of him and Chicago.

Before I could pass out I felt him kiss the nape of my neck and whisper "Only for you, Caroline."
