No One Ever Said It Would Be This Hard

Chapter 14

"You and Damon?" Caroline asked suspiciously.

Bonnie and Damon told her friends the truth about them this morning. Caroline and Elena stared at them, speechless. Stefan simply laughed and said he was suspecting something all along. Elena gave him a confused look, wondering why he didn't say something to her about it. Soon enough, Damon and Stefan took of, and left the girls alone.

"How long has this been going on?" Elena had put a straight of hair behind her ear and pulled a wide smile through her face.

"For a while now" Bonnie was trying to avoid making any eye contact with them.

"Better question is why is this going on?" Caroline raised her voice. She didn't mean anything bad, she didn't even know Damon that well, but he didn't seem like a guy Bonnie would ever fall for.

Bonnie decided to ignore that question.

"Longer than me and Stefan?" Elena asked curiously.

Bonnie shook her head and smiled. "Elena, you fell for Stefan the first time you saw him, you just haven't admitted it to yourself back then" Bonnie looked at her friend.

Elena blushed. It was true, though. From the moment she met Stefan, she felt something for him. But she didn't understand her feelings, and the fact she had any feelings scared her, so she dismissed them.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Caroline picked up a french fry from the plate and started nibbling on it. Elena and Bonnie will never get used to her eating junk food.

"Because I'm a witch, and he's a vampire" Bonnie explained quickly.

"And that's a problem because..?" Caroline frowned at Elena stealing a french fry from her plate.

"From the beginning of time, witches were used by vampires, as slaves mostly. They hate each other. I should hate Damon. I was raised to hate vampires. And I didn't tell you because of fear my family will find out. And they can't find out, ever, so you can't say a word about this, understood?" Bonnie looked at Elena who nodded her head, then at Caroline who was staring at her in amazament.

Caroline had put both of her heads on her cheeks and tilted her head. "That is so romantic" she squealed. "You two are star crossed lovers!" she said with a sobbing voice. Speaking like a true romantic.

Bonnie smiled and lowered hear head down. Elena had to do the same. But when she opened her mouth to ask Bonnie another question, Caroline moaned loudly. Both Bonnie and Elena turned their heads to look at her.

"Tyler" she gasped.

Her eyes widened and her lips stayed separated a little when she said his name. She held her hands pinned on the table. Bonnie and Elena turned around and saw Tyler standing at the door, staring at Caroline's direction. Tyler and Caroline had a thing before she became a vampire. They had more than a thing, actually. Caroline loved him. They were dating for about half of a year before Tyler discovered his family secret, which is only few weeks before Caroline became a vampire. After his dad's death, his uncle Mason flew in the town and told him about the secret his father didn't even know about. All the males in the Lockwood family were werewolves. It was a curse, and for the curse to be actived, they had to cause the death of another person. And Tyler did, in a car accident. And Caroline was there for him, all the way through. That was the bravest thing she did, and she did it without giving it a second thought. But when she was turned into a vampire, Alaric told them that one werewolf bite is deadly for a vampire. That's when Tyler went to visit his uncle to find more about his situation.

Caroline couldn't move. She had a feeling her heart went to her heels and poured on the floor through them. Her eyes locked with Tyler's and he started walking towards their table. In that moment both Elena and Bonnie stretched out their hands and put them on Caroline's hand. That snapped her back to reality. She turned her head to her friends and smiled at them.
