chapter 9 'i like Tyler! not you!'

Caroline's pov

i walk through the cafeteria doors and look towards my usual table to see my spot next to Elena unoccupied. i smile, thinking that shes forgiven me and she's willing to let me hang out with her. so i start walking over to the table with a grin on my face. Elena turns her head to look at me and narrows her eyes. she quickly pulls some random girl that was walking past, onto my chair so there's no more chairs left at the table. i freeze in my tracks and stare at Elena in shock, she just scoffs then turns back around and whispers something into the girls ear. the girl nods and slowly starts eating, her posture is stiff as if she didn't want to be there. i should have known better, Elena doesn't forgive people that easy. i sigh and start looking around for any where to sit, when i can't find any free seats i start walking back to the doors, i turn around to look at my table again, i look at Elena and find she's already looking at me, she looks sad, as if she just wants me to go back to her. as soon as she see's me looking at her she narrows her eyes again and turns around. i sigh, no longer in the mood for food, i dump the contents of my tray into the bin and dump my tray on the side. i look at the table once more then basically run out of the cafeteria. i can feel the tears building up in my eyes. 

every time i see Ben or Jake they just completely ignore me or stare at me with angry looks, Elena wont talk to me, i've hardly seen Tyler because we haven't had any classes together so far and kol just looks disappointed in me, he said a quite hi earlier but since then he's been ignoring me as well. i just give up, if forgiving Tyler makes me the bad guy then fine i'll be the bad guy. 

i walk to the stairwell on the left side of school, no one ever goes there so i can sit and not be judged for a few minutes. when i reach the doors for the stairwell, i push them open and go sit on the big corner step, the stair are made out of marble so it's kinda cold. i put my headphones in and start listening to a song called salvation by Gabrielle aplin, i adore this song. after listening to the song 5 times i feel a tap on my shoulder. i look up to see Klaus looking down at me with the usually plain expression, the one he has where you cant tell what his emotion is or whats going through his head. i quickly pull out my headphones and wrap them around my phone as Klaus takes a seat next to me. we sit in a comfortable silence for a moment before i finally talk.

"why are you sitting with me? surely you should be off hating and judging me like everyone else" i whisper quietly, not even sure if he actually heard me. i turn to look at him to find him looking at me with a curious look.

"now why would people hate and judge you Caroline?" ah, so he hasn't heard yet...well lets wait and see for his reaction when i tell him.

"basically i forgave my ex boyfriend that cheated on me...my brothers hate me and have kicked me out of the house, my best friend wont talk to me and neither will any of my other friends..." Klaus looks shocked for a second but he slowly smiles at me and takes my hand in his.

"Caroline, i of all people will not judge you for your decisions, i have made many bad decisions in my life time so i am not one to judge. especially you. your beautiful Caroline, your smart, your strong hearted. but you are also human, and it is a humans nature to make mistakes. i will not judge you Caroline" he stares directly into my eyes as he speaks, not faltering once. i stare back at him in shock. i did not expect him to say that. i blink a few times then i smile at him.

"thank you Klaus, i think i judged you to quickly, but to be fair you caught me on a bad day" i chuckle at the end, i look down causing a piece of stray hair to fall in front of my face. i feel Klaus' hand on my chin, lifting it up to look directly at him. he brings his other hand up and strokes the piece of hair behind my ear. he keeps his hand at the back of my neck and the other slowly grazes down my chin and down to hold my hip.

my body immediately freezes when he starts moving his head closer to mine. my eyes widen when his lips are inches from mine and his eyes are closed. images of Tyler flashes though my mind and i immediately raise my hand up to collide it with Klaus' cheek. unfortunately it doesn't even have effect on him. he stops moving though. his eyes are still closed and his hands are still on me. ever so slowly he opens his eyes to look at me, i can see the anger and rage in his eyes and to be honest it's scary.

"what the hell do you think you are doing! i like Tyler! not you!" i yell at him while quickly standing up causing his hands to drop from me. Klaus stays seated, facing where i was just sat. i stare at him in anger and confusion.

"Tyler will just hurt you, you have to be bloody stupid to actually go back to him" he growls in a hoarse and almost deadly tone. he slowly turns his head to look at me. what he says just confuses me further, i thought he just said that he wouldn't judge me? i slowly start backing up when Klaus stands up and he stares at me almost animalisticaly. i put my hands behind me, so they rest on the door as Klaus comes very close to me, so close that i can feel his breath fanning my face. my chest rises and falls rapidly as my heart beat increases. 

"s-stay away from me!" i yell at him before pushing the door open and running down the corridor, away from him. when i reach the end of the corridor i turn swiftly to see where Klaus is. he's standing in front of the doors to the stair well with his fists clenched and his jaw set, just starring at me. i turn back around and run to my next class. that Klaus has some serious issues.
