break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored.

liar

Caroline woke up in Klaus's embrace. She still couldn't believe that he was alive. She was in so much pain when she watched him die, it was as if a piece of her died too. She never wanted to leave his arms, but she had too. She couldn't get attached to him, she wasn't good enough for him. Caroline thought Klaus deserved someone strong and who can hold her own ground, someone who isn't insecure and needs reassurance. Klaus needed someone other than Caroline, someone between. At least that's what she thought. However, Klaus thought he didn't deserve her. He didn't think he deserved anyone. He was a terrible person who has done terrible things. Why would someone like Caroline ever want to be with him? They would learn more about the real him and run away, but he wanted Caroline so bad. She was all he thought about. When he woke up, Caroline. When he ate, Caroline. When he painted, Caroline. When he went to bed, Caroline. He loved her, but would never tell her. She deserved better than him, at least that's what he thought.

Having Caroline in his arms was the best thing ever. "Klaus." Caroline said with a sleepy voice. She sounded so adorable.

"Yes, love?" Caroline processed his voice and all she wanted to do was kiss him and never stop, but that was obviously not an option.

"Why'd you do it?" Klaus looked at her with a confused face, not understanding the context of the question. "Why'd you take the stake for me?"

"Well, Caroline, you see it was all apart of a plan." Klaus said quietly. He wasn't prepared to Caroline so soon, but she had the right to know. Caroline jolted up when she heard that it was apart of a plan. What plan?! "Well, everyone wanted to get your humanity back on, so I developed a plan. I piss off Camille with comments about you, she try to kill you, kill me instead, your humanity comes back on, and Bonnie brings me back."

Caroline jumped off the bed and yelled at him. "You killed yourself for my humanity!! Are your fucking stupid?! And everyone was in on it?" Klaus nodded his head in agreement. "Oh my god! Rebekah cried with me when I thought you were dead! How could she!"

Caroline stormed into the living room and found Rebekah. "How could you?!" She screamed at her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You knew Klaus was gonna die for me and you acted like you were never going to see him again but you knew Bonnie was going to bring him back."

"Caroline, can we talk somewhere more private." Rebekah asked, she didn't want Kol listening in on their conversation since he was there only one in the living room.

Rebekah walked them to her room and explained herself. "Caroline, I was against the plan. I didn't want Nik to do it because there wasn't a guaranteed chance he would come back."

Caroline's expression changed immediately. "What do you mean?"

"Bonnie's spell relied on you killing Camille. If you didn't kill Camille, she couldn't bring Nik back."

"Wait." She took a moment to process everything. "He didn't know if he would come back?"

"No. In fact, he believed you wouldn't kill Camille and that you would show sympathy for her. When I told him he could die forever, his exact words were I couldn't think of a better way to die."

Caroline hugged Rebekah, "I'm sorry, Bex. I didn't know." Caroline ran to Klaus's bedroom and hugged him. He hugged her back in confusion.

She released her hug and when he looked back at her, she punched him in the shoulder. "Bloody hell, what was that for?" He said while rubbing the spot Caroline so rudely punched him in.

"You could've died you moron!"

"Well to be fair love, I did die."

"No, jackass. You could've actually died. If I didn't kill that vampire wanna be Camille, you would've stayed dead, Klaus."

"Oh, I see you've been talking to Rebekah. I think I'll go have a talk with her."

"No." Caroline said as she grabbed his arm and prevented him from leaving. "You're going to sit and tell me why you're so stupid and would risk your life for me."

"You've got to be kidding me right now, Caroline."

"No, I'm not. Now talk."

"What do you want me to say, Caroline?" He threw his hands up in the air. "You denied me for so long and then you came here wanting to be with me, but I moved on! Seeing you, it hurt me so much! And then I found out about your mother and I saw you with heartbreak written on your face and it killed me. It killed me to see you like that. I just wanted you to be okay. I would do it again, and again if it meant knowing you were okay."

"Liar."

"Excuse me?"

"You're a liar." She said. Klaus looked at her with a puzzling face. "You said you moved on, liar."

Klaus looked at her and laughed. He was lying, and she damn well knew it. Of course he didn't move on. How do you move on from the most beautiful woman in the world? You don't. "You know me so well, love." Klaus said as he walked towards Caroline and grasped her face. He caressed her cheek with the gentle touch of his thumb. He wanted to kiss her so badly, but he knew his boundaries, and he respected them.

Caroline walked away from his embrace, "Klaus, I'm sorry. It's just, if you had actually died like for good, I don't know what I would do. I'd live with that guilt for the rest of eternity."

Klaus's heart broke a little bit when all Caroline said was guilt. He was hoping that she would admit her feelings. "Ah, I see. So now my death is about your guilt. You're just like that doppelgänger, Elena."

Klaus was now defending his heartbreak with cruel words, but Caroline was too smart to listen to them. "Keep then coming."

"Excuse me?"

"Keep the insults coming. You don't like to listen and you take stuff the wrong way, and now your defending your hurt by being mean. Keep the insults coming, maybe they'll make you feel better." Caroline blurted out, keeping her demanding expression.

"Caroline, I—" Klaus was saying as he was interrupted by Caroline.

"What I was saying was that I couldn't live with the guilt of you dying for me, because I like you, Klaus. I said it, are you happy now?"

Klaus was astounded by Caroline's words. He always knew, but it was so much more realistic hearing the words come out of her mouth. With that statement, Klaus kissed Caroline.
