New Body, New Life

Chapter 36

Caroline's POV

I woke up with the light of the sun and everything that happened before I fall asleep was completely blank for a few moments but then I remembered that I had drink, Stiles took me to the Quarter, that I discuss with Klaus and then it hit me that I ended up telling Klaus that I love him. How can I be so stupid? He's probably now laughing at me... I ruined everything.

I decided to go to a bar/restaurant near Marie's motel where I could eat some pancakes and drink orange juice.

"Caroline, I was looking for you everywhere..." Klaus said making me look at him, then I look back at the rest of the pancakes I had left in the plate.

"You found me..." I said and got back to eating my pancakes, he at first was just staring at me but then he seat in front of me.

"Caroline, I want to talk to you about yesterday." He said.

"Forget about it. I was drunk, I didn't knew what I was saying. I was mixing everything up." I said not looking at me and finishing my food, but then I felt him grabbing my wrist, making me look at him.

"Are you sure it was just that?" He asked with his poker face.

"Why do you care so much if it was true or not? I'm now out of your life and I don't live in the same roof as you so just let it go. I was drunk."

"I can't let it go." He said now showing anger and something else that I couldn't describe.

"Why?" I asked irritated and annoyed.

"Because I need to know."

"And why do you need to know?" I asked now just irritated for he insisting on this.

"Why can't you just tell me?" He asked me also irritated.

"Klaus, we could continue have this discussion for hours and still I wouldn't give you the answer to your question and you wouldn't give the answer to mine, so what do you think about just letting go the subject?" I asked him and tried to be as calm as possible.

"That is not possible. I can't let go this subject, I just can't. I need to know."

"Why? If you're feeling with a heavy conscience or something like that, don't worry about it."

"That means that you are not in love with me." He said.

"That means that you don't have to worry about me. Let's suppose that I am in love with you, I was the one who wanted us to be friends with benefits and should back down when I start to feel something for you more then attraction." I said.

"Just say if you are in love with me or not? Am I just your friend with who you had sex or am I your friend with who you had sex and realized have feelings for? I need to know. Whatever you feeling I need to know because it affects me too." He said.

"How in the world is it affects you?" I asked him almost yelling, I just didn't yell because I didn't want to make a scene.

"Because it's about us. It's about your feelings towards me." He said and I just looked at him in disbelief. "I can't believe I'm doing this again. It's like when we were in Mystic Falls and I followed you around like a little puppy. You know what? It's over. I'm tired of being played. I don't even know why I got to the trouble to look for you, if you truly had any kind of feelings for me then you wouldn't do this, you wouldn't make me feel like a toy in your hands."

"What? How can you say that about me? I thought you knew me better, and I don't make anyone be my toy. I would never do that." I said fighting so the tears not come out and quickly walked away to the street.

"Caroline, don't walk away from me." He order and I turn to see him and vamp speed to be closer to him.

"Why? Because you're the Big Bad Hybrid and nobody can just walk away without your permission? Guess what, you are not someone who can bosses me around, you are not better then me, we are equals." I said.

"I'm just trying to finish our conversation." He said.

"Seriously?! I don't want any kind of conversation with someone who thinks so bad about me. I trusted you enough to tell you about my father. I can't believe you think I just use you for whatever I want."

"If you recall, when we were in Mystic Falls you used me plenty times to help your friends with just some flirting. I free Tyler because of you, I give you a dress so you could go to prom, I heard you saying that I couldn't be fixed and I was a terrible person but I still was there for you. I always was there for you and you used me for helping your friends so..."

"You know what? I'm done with all this. I don't want to be your girlfriend, your sex buddy or even just your friend. Whatever we had left its over. I might had been naive in thinking that you knew me and cared about me but right now I know that you don't know a thing about me or half of what you said wouldn't even pass through your mind. Goodbye Klaus." I said and went to the bar so I would go to work.
