Dream

End of the road

Silence. I hadn't told Klaus anything about the dream that I had... was it a dream? No, it wasn't a dream... it was a memory. It felt like a memory. I touched my lips subtly facing away from Klaus. We were now driving through mountains and it was late in the day. You could see evidence from the storm that had gone by just hours ago. I closed my eyes and focused on what I was feeling. I broken of my thoughts when I felt Klaus's hand touch my knee sending electric shocks through my body.

"Are you alright love?" He asks and I turn around so I face him.

"Huh?" I ask analyzing what he had said. "Yeah, I'm fine." I lie.

Silence settled into the car once more. My thoughts smashing back into my head.

What was that memory about? It feels as though Klaus and I had something in it. It wasn't a fantasy, I know it wasn't. And it wasn't a dream because I was awake. It can't be dejavu, it would have gone over and over. Was it a memory? I am so confused.

We stopped in a city to eat and to get my phone screen repaired. The second I turned it on texts flowed in from Bonnie and Damon. How dare he message me? I haven't even seen him, and Bonnie... I'm surprised she stopped kissing Jeremy enough to pick u her phone and text me. I put the phone down in my purse and listen to the radio with Klaus. Then the battle between myself began once more. It didn't really lead me anywhere it only led to a big headache and me passing out after twenty minutes. How delightful.

I woke up to someone lightly shaking me.

"Caroline... Caroline, wake up Love." I hear Klaus's voice in the distance. I open my eyes and find Klaus unbuckling my seat belt. "Come on love." I gently sit up and hold on to Klaus for support.

"Where are we?" I ask drooply. I noticed lights and I closed my eyes because they were so bright. We were in an elevator, I could feel us going up.

"We are in my home, in New York." He says planting a kiss on my forehead. I squirmed a bit in his arms.

"I can walk now." I say lieing a bit, but I didn't want to be a bother. He nodds slightly and sets me down beside him. I just grab a hold of his arm once I am standing up and let my head rest on his shoulder. I was still a bit sleepy. Finally the elevator stopped and it opened to reveal a penthouse.

"Hold on I'll go get you some blood." Klaus said pointing towards the couch. I was so tremendously tired I laid down on the fancy white pearly couch.

"You have blood bags here?" I asked, it's not like Klaus, he likes to drink from the vein.

"Well, I called in to make sure there were some since you were coming along." I heard him call from the kitchen. A few seconds later he was beside me. He handed me the blood bag.

"Thank you." I said in almost a whisper. A few seconds and the blood bag was gone. I rested my head on his shoulder again.

"Here, let's get you up to my room." He says picking me up by my upper back and my legs. And then we began to go up some stairs.

"Your room?" I say smiling. "Isn't there other rooms here for me to sleep in?" I ask hoping he would say no.

"Yes, but my room is protected. Just in case anyone decides to pay a visit you can be safe in my room." He says as he opens a double set of doors. I couldn't really make out how the room looked, but knowing Klaus it was probably fancier than I could imagine. The second he laid me on the bed I fell asleep. The last thing I remember was Klaus kissing my forehead.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing to the song 'I knew you were trouble' by Taylor Swift. It was Damon. I remember he set it up the second he got a hold of my phone when Elena was mad at him... and because he says he likes Taylor. Since then I haven't changed it. I rub my head and make my way to my purse, which Klaus left on the nightstand by the bed. I finally found my phone and picked it up just in time.

'Hello?' I say laying back down on the bed facing the ceiling with my hand over my eyes.

'Look who finally picked up! Where are you we have been worried sick!' I roll my eyes while they are closed and sigh. Then I giggle, I don't know why... I just do. 'This isn't funny Caroline you have been gone for a week WHERE ARE YOU!?'

'First off Damon, stop shouting you are giving me a massive headache. Second, where I am is none of your business.'

'This isn't funny Caroline where are you?' He says patiently, which was always scary for guys like Damon and Klaus, you never knew what they were really up to. I sigh and decide to tell him, but not the whole story.

'I am taking a trip with Klaus. I need to figure some things out and he is helping me.'

'Are you Nuts! Blondie, now is not the time to play world tour with the big bad wolf. You had your fun for three months now get back we need your help.' I took in what I just heard. Three months?

'What are you talking about? I have been crying for the past FOUR months. Why are three months special?' I heard him silently curse himself. I decided to let that go for now. 'And you shouldn't be telling me this when you were off the map for those four months moping over Elena and my mom! You know I don't like being with you, but atleast I would have been there for you because dispite our differences I love you as much as I love all of my friends Damon! And not to mention Bonnie! She has been so busy sucking up to Jeremy's face- and Hell knows what else- that she forgot reality... .' I was now on the verge of tears.

'Caro- ' He started but I cut him off.

'Don't Damon, just don't. I am following through with my trip with Klaus.'

'Caroli- ' I cut him off again.

'Goodbye Damon.' And with that I hung up the phone and cried into Klaus's pillow.

I think twenty minutes went by before I heard the door to the room open. I could make out the figure... it was Klaus. He came quickly to me.

"Caroline, what happened why are you crying love?" He asks helping me sit up and cupping my face with his hands. I shook my head.

"I don't... ," Suddenly the pain from my mother's loss began again and Elena being gone. And loneliness. Not having anyone there for me when I was going through all of this. First loosing my mother for two months, then Kai turned Elena to sleeping beauty. And Stefan couldn't let go, we had Elena for a month in a hospital bed... the pain was just so deep. I finally gathered myself together and cried into Klaus's shoulder. "Did you hear?" I asked. I could feel him nodd. I wasn't angry, I was practicly yelling two minutes into the conversation. "Am I selfish?" I asked. He broke the hug and held me by the shoulders making me look at him.

"Why do you think you are selfish love?" He asks with sadness in his eyes.

"For not being a good friend?" And I felt a hot tear going down my face. Klaus cleaned it with his thumb.

"You couldn't have been more selfless Caroline. Don't worry about them, they are well capable of keeping themselves occupied. Sleep now love." He says and shifts so we are both laying down. I rest my head on his chest and he wraps his arms around me.

"Thank you." I say.

"For what?" He asks.

"For being here, For everything." I say. I turn to see his eyes closed and he is smiling.

"You don't need to thank me Caroline. I will always be here." I smile and focus on his steady breathing. Until I finally fall asleep.
