Hey, guys! First and foremost I'd like to apologize for being so super late with this chapter. I've been really distracted, but have been writing bits and pieces and have finally finished! This chapter is without interaction between Caroline and Klaus but I still had fun writing it and it only leaves room to have a lot of Klaus and Caroline interaction in the next one, which I am hoping will not take me as long to get out for you guys to read! Once again I apologize and I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as the others!

Read, review, and enjoy!

"Dammit!"

Feeling her dream come to an abrupt end before agreeing to something that would surely be all for nothing, Caroline opened her eyes with a jump, nearly startled as she noticed that someone had actually woke her.

It was Bonnie.

She was the one calling her that entire time.

"Bonnie! ...What is it?," she asked with a look on her face that showed slight irritation.

This wasn't how it was suppose to happen.

He told her not to leave, though just as was she about to answer, her body gave up the struggle of ignoring whomever was trying to wake her and forced her out of the world that the two of them created for themselves. Caroline didn't understand why this was a shock to her- sleeping people had to wake up at some point, but in that moment she wished that that wasn't the case.

As she calmed herself, hoping to recover from the world that Bonnie practically drug her from, and the mind-blowing sex that she was sure she'd never forget, Caroline looked at her, giving off a puzzled yet questionable look as Bonnie finally gave her the answer she was looking for.

The answer that made it okay to bring her back to reality.

"...Elena's back in the hospital.." As Bonnie looked at her, the obvious shock on her face and the unwelcome news caused Caroline's expression to soften.

She no longer cared about the dream, because now she only cared about Elena's well-being.

"W-what happened? I thought she was fine?," she asked as she kept her eyes on Bonnie.

"She's not. It's worse than we thought, so me and Jeremy took her back," pausing for a second, Bonnie looked at her while raising of an eyebrow and flashing a half grin, showing her obvious amusement in what she was about to say,"You know you were moaning in your sleep on and off for like ten minutes."

As Caroline sat there and tried to hide her embarrassment, she looked down at her sheets.

Was she serious? Or was Bonnie simply trying to make her sweat?

Caroline didn't know, but as she weighed the options and knew that there was no way Bonnie would make up something like that without it being true, she rolled her eyes.

The last thing Caroline wanted to hear was something like that, forcing her to remember the dreams she were having for the past two nights that invaded her mind constantly, but when Bonnie pointed it out, it almost made her feel ashamed.

But why?

Sitting up in her bed as her back remained away from the headboard, Caroline told herself that she wanted to forget, if only for a little while, as her friend stood next to the bed.

It was then that she tried her hardest to change the subject as quickly as she could.

"No, I wasn't..."

"Yeah. You were." Bonnie nodded.

"Bonnie!" Caroline rolled her eyes once more and pushed the thin white sheet that laid over her, off to the side.

When she stepped out of bed with the same irritated look that was shown only a moment ago, she walked over to her dresser. "I wasn't moaning!"

"Caroline, I've been here for nearly an hour trying to wake you, and for the last ten minutes, you were definitely moaning."

"Ugh, whatever..." As she rushed pass Bonnie, bumping her along the way, Caroline made her way to the bathroom with Bonnie hot on her tail.. As she went on, tormenting her in a sense for what she heard, Caroline stopped her, "Wait, how'd you get in?"

Yeah, that would definitely divert her attention.

"Your mom." Standing at the door way of the bathroom, Bonnie crossed her arms as she watched Caroline, obviously tickled by the fact that her suspicious were confirmed by her reactions alone. "But don't try to change the subject... what were you dreaming about? Or should I say who...? Was it Tyler?"

"Bonnie, seriously? I don't know what you heard, but it wasn't moaning!"

"Then tell me what you were dreaming about?"

"I don't know! Kittens? It could have been anything!," as she began brushing her teeth with an unsure laugh and a shrug that pulled her tooth brush from her teeth as her hands lifted with her shoulders, Bonnie's eyes wouldn't leave her. It was funny to her at first, but as the interrogation continued, Bonnie could feel that something was off.

Caroline continued brushing her teeth.

"You know you have been sleeping a lot lately. Is something wrong?"

"Is something wrong?" Speaking with her mouth full of tooth paste, Caroline looked at Bonnie. She just wouldn't quit and although she was use to Bonnie poking around, it was something about this that annoyed her more than usual. "Bonnie, I sleep. And last I checked, there is nothing wrong with sleeping..."

"You're right. There's nothing wrong with sleeping, but you're doing it a lot. I mean you didn't even stay awake in class today. And in case you haven't noticed... it's not morning time..."

As Caroline looked towards the window and noticed that it was actually dark outside, she continued brushing her teeth- despite rendering it useless, and pretending she knew that all along before realizing that she couldn't even remember the days.

It's only been two days, yet, it felt as if the days were suddenly beginning to blend together.

Were the dreams that intense?

Was she really sleeping that much?

Caroline questioned herself and came to the conclusion that she couldn't be as she walked passed Bonnie and headed down the hall into the kitchen.

"Look." Pausing momentarily, Caroline grabbed a blood bag from her refrigerator. "I don't know what I've been dreaming about," she lied, "Or why I've been sleeping so much, but it's nothing." As she laughed hoping to deflect Bonnie's curious stare, Caroline continued. "I promise."

Bonnie looked at her and felt the teasing pull of the left side of her mouth, making look as if she were giving a half smile, but with her eyebrows lifting as well, it only showed that she was just finally giving in.

"Okay, I believe you ."

"Good." Caroline sighed in relief before tending to her blood bag as she went to grab a mug. As she began pouring she listened to Bonnie.

"I just. I just know things have been a little crazy around here with killing Klaus, that I wanted to make sure everything was okay."

Caroline could only thank herself for having her back turned to Bonnie, because as she continued, she was sure her feelings about everything that happened would be exposed with only one glance.

"Everyone knows there was something going on with you two. I mean, not from your end, but from his, obviously... So.."

"Yeah... but I don't care. Klaus was... Klaus."

Caroline finally turned around and silently hoped that Bonnie couldn't sense her true feelings.

"He hurt you guys. He hurt all of you. Elena, Stefan, Damon, You... and he even had his brother stalk Jeremy... I don't care that he's gone," she lied.

As she listened to everything she was saying, her regret began to overcome her with such intensity that she wanted to stop, but how could she? This was the reality of it all, and although she cared for the man that invaded her dreams, she couldn't let herself be naive to it all.

It just wasn't who she was.

"Are you sure?"

"Bonnie!"

"What? Tyler told me about that picture he drew for you that you kept."

"Okay... It's just a picture," she laughed nervously that was laced with a little annoyance. "He drew it for me, and I thought it was sweet, but it meant nothing. I don't get why I keep having to explain myself here. Klaus is dead. He's dead! You killed him, Bonnie. You should be happy and you should leave me alone with all of this stuff."

As her obvious anger began to show with the veins darkening under her eyes, Bonnie raised an eyebrow to Caroline, though before she said a word, Caroline calmed herself.

"It's just really annoying. It's just, there was nothing going on between me and Klaus. Yeah, he was nice to me and finally made me feel as if I were the one and not anything else. But that doesn't mean anything. I swear."

Finally drinking the blood from the black coffee mug, Bonnie nodded and said, "Okay. Well, I'm going back to see Elena at the hospital. Do you want to come?"

"Yeah. I'll go get ready and meet you in he car."

This was becoming a daily thing.

Whenever Caroline went to sleep, whether it be for a few minutes or a few hours, she saw him. Just as she felt herself feeling the tired sensation all over her body, she could feel him near, waiting to see her as if it were the first time she could. It was something Caroline enjoyed and although Klaus had his way of making her feel special when they were awake, it was different and better when they were asleep. Because there, there were a world of possibilities.

They could do anything, go anywhere; all while enjoying each others company as they were meant to when he was awake.

It was times like these that Caroline hated how things played out.

Maybe, just maybe, had she accepted his many offers and advances they wouldn't be in this situation.

Maybe if she told him she'd go with him whenever he decided to leave, their lives would be as they wanted in that very moment. However, instead, they were trapped in a world that only the two of them could share.

After the way things happened with Bonnie and despite wanting to see him, Caroline felt scared when it came to falling asleep. She said all those things and although there wasn't a way for him to find out, she just knew she'd feel guilty while being around him.

Why couldn't she just sleep without having to see him?

She didn't know, but as she laid in bed after coming back from seeing Elena with Bonnie, she sighed.

"Hey."

Looking over to Tyler as he pulled her from her own invasive thoughts, she smiled as he straddled her for a second and landed on the other side of the bed.

"You okay?"

She nodded.

"Good. Because you look like you've been a little lost ever sense we left the hospital."

"I'm fine, Tyler." As Caroline gave him another smile, she curled up against his side and laid her head on his chest. "I'm just tired."

Today it was different. Today, she wasn't alone.

As her fingers began to draw irregular lines across the fabric of Tyler shirt over his stomach, Caroline laid there and only hoped that while she slept along side the man who assumed her heart was his and his only, she wouldn't see the one it truly belonged to.

She was frightened, though not overly so, as she closed her eyes and exhaled deeply, hoping that the world she awaited would not come if only this once.
