She's Mine

Chapter 17💗 Our Final Goodbye

Caroline's POV

4 days passed

The whole night was a real blur, I had lost the one person I loved the most, memories scattered through my head like they were trying to torture me, I laid awake in bed and every time i tried to sleep all the memories kept flooding back, the way he comforted me, the way he kissed me, the way he held me, everything came back and I couldn't handle it, I laid awake crying, tears streamed down my face, I just wanted him to come back to me but I knew that could never happen, I had nearly lost him so many times before but he always pulled through, I should never of dragged him into this mess, I didn't want to survive without him. I locked myself away for four whole days and then I heard someone open my door, I told everyone to go away and leave me alone but I knew it was finally time to say goodbye to Tyler, today was the day.

I glanced and sat up and I saw Elena in a really pretty black dress and Bonnie was beside her, I smiled faintly and then I ended up crying, knowing I was never going to see him again was the worst thing in the world and I just wanted to shut everything off. They jumped on the bed and both of them wrapped their arms around me cuddling me tightly and then after a few minutes we all pulled away and I had to get ready, I put on my simple black dress and pinned some of my hair up and left the rest naturally curly.

We arrived at the church on time and I saw Damon and Stefan in their suits along side the coffin and I just wanted to cry, the girls left to sort out the preparations and Damon went with them which gave me some time for me and Stefan to speak.

"How are you holding up?" He asked

"It's been four days since my boyfriend died, I'm doing great" I frowned

"Sorry.. Bad question.." Stefan paused

"I'm sorry it's just hard" I frowned "he's not here Stefan, he's gone he's really gone and I don't know what to do" I cried

"Hey, it's okay, come here, he loved you so much" Stefan frowned and hugged me

"Every time I realise he's not here, my heart stops a little and I get this lump in my throat and all the memories flood back and the crying won't stop Stefan and it hurts!" I cried more

"I know Care I know, it's hard but your strong, you can do this, I know you, are you ready?" Stefan smiled and pulled away 

"I just need a few minutes with him.." I paused

"Okay.." Stefan nodded

The whole room was empty and it was just me and Tyler and his face was just laid there with his beautiful eyes closed, he looked so peaceful and calm, I held his hands and cried more and more.

"Hey you.. Why did this have to happen to us, why couldn't we be happy?" I asked "I miss you so much Ty, I don't know how to do this without you anymore, and every time I close my eyes all I see is you and I want you back so much, this hurts so much, please come back to me" I pleaded and cried knowing he couldn't hear me

"Care it's time to go.." Bonnie paused

I wiped my eyes and walked in to the full church, I sat down next to Elena who was sat next to Damon and then Damon went up to do a speech and I just felt like crying over and over and over again, it was so hard to watch someone you love being said goodbye to and they wouldn't even hear you, Elena held my hand tight as I started to cry.

"Tyler Lockwood was loved by many of us, his girlfriend Caroline Forbes and all of his friends, He was a true hero and saved us all, he didn't deserve this and we will get justice for Tyler" Damon spoke

I wanted to make a speech so I walked up and stood at the front knowing everyone was watching me as I stood next to his coffin, I glanced around and saw everyone watching me and I felt sick, I felt more sick than ever, my stomach did tumbles over and over and I felt dizzy but I continued to stand up.

"Tyler was my boyfriend, he was a real romantic, he always got me the same card for 2 years, I only fount out last year, I loved him so much, he came into my life when my mom had died and he made me feel alive and I was so lucky to have even been in his company, Tyler should be here and we shouldn't be saying goodbye to him, he should be here right now and we should be celebrating but he's not here, he risked his life for everyone and that's why I loved him, he was so selfless and kind and caring and I'm going to miss him so much, I love you Tyler Lockwood till death do us part, I will join you somehow someday I promise you, goodbye, rest safe up there" I cried and leaned down and kissed him gently and then I closed the coffin lid

I did it, I said goodbye to him, I said goodbye to Tyler, I cried and cried more and ran out and leant round the corner on the wall and fell on the ground and I held my knees and just sobbed my heart out and then I felt someone put their arm around me and pull me close, I wiped my eyes and looked up and it was Klaus, he stared at me and I just started to cry more and leaned into him and I cried more.

"Shhh, it's ok I've got you" he whispered

"I miss him so much Klaus I don't know what to do, it hurts so much" I cried

"I know Caroline I know, let's go home.." He paused and helped me up

Everyone was left at the reception but I couldn't face it any longer, klaus took me home and I snuggled up on my sofa with him all wrapped up as she stroked my hair I fell fast asleep knowing someone was with me eased my mind at rest but I would never ever forget Tyler.
