Hey all! I can't tell you how long I have wanted to get this story up and running! :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story. There is no plot. This is just a story full of one-shots of my favorite couple(s) of TVD. At the beginning of every one-shot, I will give the name of the song which inspired me to write these little one-shots.

I will say this. If you have a specific song and/or couple you wish me to write for this story, please don't hesitate to send me a PM or say so in the review. Despite the title, I will not limit myself to just Klaroline.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE SONGS MENTIONED NOR DO I OWN TVD! (If I did, the Hayley debacle would not have occurred.)

SET: AFTER 4x18 (HAYLEY INCIDENT DELETED IN THIS ONE)

DESCRIPTION: Caroline arrives at Klaus' mansion. Finding him gone, she finally realizes how much he means to her, and how she drove him away.

Song: Lonely Alone by The Forrester Sisters

Caroline entered the mansion for the second time in two days. She sighed as she looked around, and inhaled deeply. His scent still lingered, but was not as prominent as she would have hoped.

She closed her eyes, and felt the tears build up behind her lids. How could she have been so stupid? How could she have said such horrible things to a man who showed her more affection than anyone she ever knew?

She walked into the study, where she remembered their last confrontation. She covered her mouth when she looked around the room, completely empty, only the memory of what had transpired lingered.

She shook her head in disbelief. The one constant in her life was gone. She couldn't believe the thought that crossed her mind. He couldn't be her constant, could he? She shook her head, and walked out of the study, through the house, and the loneliness began to fill her heart.

Her mind began to conjure up images of the last time she saw him. He had been wounded, staked by Silas. He was hallucinating, and in so much pain. Her heart broke at the sight of him on the ground on his knees, falling forward as he screamed and panted. She shouldn't have been caring for a man who killed so many people, but was she any different. She killed twelve in one night.

She remembered the pliers in her hands as she pulled the piece of the stake out of his back. She remembered the feel of his skin under her fingers. She remembered calming him down, and letting him know that she was real, and that she was there with him.

She remembered how they talked, and opened up, as he got his strength back.

She remembered the kiss.

She couldn't believe it at first. She had kissed him. She had turned her back on him, at first, angry at his selfishness, and he had rushed in front of her.

"Don't you turn your back on me!" He shouted in her face.

She leaned forward, and yelled back. "I should've turned my back on you ages ago!" She shouted, her eyes capturing his.

Suddenly, she grabbed his face, and kissed him. Her inner voice told her it was wrong, but the temptation had been too much. She had nearly lost him, and it scared her.

She would never admit it, but it had scared her to think that he would no longer be in her life.

Now, she stood in the center of his painting room, and the pain of the loss was becoming too much. Tears flooded her eyes, and poured down her face. She brought her left hand up, to her nose, and shook her head.

"How dare you leave me?!" She shouted in the empty house. Sorrow filled her body as she sunk to her knees.

"Everyone leaves me." She whispered, wrapping her arms around her person. "I thought you were different, but apparently I was wrong." She whispered, sadly.

Tears fell to the floor, and she let the sobs over take her. She cried. Cried for the loneliness she was feeling. Cried for the pain she felt. Cried for the rejection.

Tyler had left her. Elena had turned off her emotions. Stefan was wrapped up in Elena. Bonnie was distracted. Her mom was all she had left, except him.

Klaus was her enabler. The one person she could count on. Granted he had done horrible atrocities in his time, but he had proved that he had, and could change, if only a little, especially for her.

"I didn't know how bad the hurt could be. It took you walking out to make me see. Baby, please come home. I didn't know it was this lonely alone." She sang, softly, tears pouring down her face as she laid down fully on the wooden floor. The words coming from an old song, she had heard when she was just a little girl, not fully understanding the meaning of the words, until now.

"It's only midnight but baby with you gone. It's forever since sundown and forever till dawn, and as I lie here looking at myself, it's hitting me hard how you must have felt." She continued, as the tears fell harder, causing her voice to crack.

"I'm sorry, I hurt you and I'm sorry, you cried and I'd give anything if I could hold you tonight." She spoke out, not singing.

The song was the only comfort she had as she drifted to sleep in her tears.

Not knowing that the object of her sorrow was standing at the front door, listening to her heartbreak, and breaking his.

Hours later, Caroline moved slightly, and realized she wasn't laying on the floor anymore, but instead a cushioned bed. Slowly sitting up, she looked around, trying to remember why she was in a room, which smelled very much like him.

Her heart began to break even more. How could she not remember coming into this room? She must have really been out of it for her not to remember.

She brought her knees up to her chest, and slowly wrapped her arms around them, placing her chin on the top. Tears filled her eyes.

She was so lost. She felt so empty. Moving her head, she placed her forehead on her knees. The tears fell faster and harder at the thought of never seeing him to tell him how she really felt.

It was no longer a home, and she could no longer go home. She couldn't.

It seemed silly, but without him to keep her fighting. Home was no longer.

She cried, so wound up in her pity and loss that her other senses became oblivious.

The door opened and quiet booted footsteps walked towards her, but still she did not hear them. Not until she felt the mattress shift as an extra weight was added to the bed.

Slowly she lifted her head, and her blue-green eyes captured a familiar set of azure blue eyes. No, this wasn't real. This was her mind playing a cruel trick on her. He wasn't here. She drove him away with her words and cruel actions.

This made her tears fall even faster. She didn't know how many tears she could actually cry, but it seemed to be forever.

"You're not here." She cried out with a sob. Her throat hurt from all of the crying she had done.

Klaus' eyes softened as he took in her form. Tilting his head, he lifted his right hand, and gently touched her cheek. Caroline stiffened at the contact, and her eyes widened as she glanced down at his hand, feeling his thumb roam over her chin.

"Oh, I'm here, love." He whispered, his eyes gazing into hers.

Caroline shook her head, and pulled back, away from his touch. "No, you left." She croaked out, slipping backwards towards the headboard, away from him.

Klaus sighed as his hand dropped. "I came back, Caroline." He said, watching her bring her knees up once more to her chest.

She shook her head again. "No, I hurt you too much. The real Klaus would never come back to someone who hurt him. No second chances." She whispered, finally, tears falling down her face.

Klaus sighed, and lifted his hand once more, and wiped the tears falling down her face. "I would give you a million chances, Caroline." He whispered, with his eyes full of softness.

She shook her head, and flashed away from him. "No, no" She repeated over and over again. "Klaus would never give chances." She said, as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Least of all to me." She added, lowering her head, and then fell to her knees. "I destroyed what any chance I had." She finished in a low whisper, but he still heard.

Klaus stood up and walked over to her. His heart breaking into pieces as each tear from her beautiful eyes fell to the floor beneath her.

Tears filled his eyes as he knelt down in front of her. "Caroline," He whispered, as he grasped her face with both hands. He waited until she looked into his eyes. "You have never destroyed any chance with me." He whispered his eyes giving out tenderness and honesty.

Caroline let out a sob, and Klaus, being unlike himself, pulled her closer to him. He hated the pain he saw in her eyes. All he wanted was to take away her pain. He could. He could take it away, but could he live with himself? No, he couldn't.

"I'm so sorry, Klaus." She whispered, holding onto to him, thinking he was just a hallucination of her depressed mind. "I'm sorry for saying those things to you." She continued, clutching the back of his white Henley shirt.

Tears fell onto his shirt, drenching his chest, but he didn't care. She was in his arms, and she wasn't leaving. She wasn't cringing. She wasn't shoving him away.

He closed his eyes at the pain in her voice. Never had he heard such pain in anyone else's voice, and he hated it.

"I don't want to lose you, but I already have." She whispered, still not fully believing he was there, holding her. She could still be dreaming. This could all be a dream.

Klaus felt a tear roll down his face, and sighed as it fell and landed on Caroline's cheek.

She pulled back quickly, and looked at him with wide eyes. "I'm really not dreaming, am I?" She asked, searching his eyes, as looked at the tears in his eyes, softly falling down his face.

Klaus shook his head. "No, love, you're not." He replied, with a sad smile.

Caroline's face transformed as she closed her eyes only to open them again to see him, still there. "You really are here, then." She whispered, reaching up to touch his face with hesitant fingers.

He nodded as he felt his skin burn at her touch.

"Why did you come back?" She asked, searching his eyes, prepping herself for the pain of him leaving again.

Klaus sighed. For a man who lived a thousand years, he could not say a word. How could he tell her?

"Why, Klaus?" She asked again, her voice demanding.

He lowered his eyes for a second, and then looked back up at her. "I couldn't leave without saying goodbye." He answered, softly.

Caroline lowered her eyes, and gave a curt nod. "So you're really leaving." She stated, though it sounded like a question.

Klaus sighed. "Some urgent matters have risen in New Orleans, and I need to go." He replied, though seeing her in this state was tempting him to stay.

Caroline nodded again, and dropped her arms on her folded knees. "I see." She whispered, looking down at her hands.

Klaus tilted his head, and reached up, to tilt her head up to look into her eyes. "Why did you come here, Caroline?" He asked, searching her sad eyes.

Caroline tried to lower her eyes, but Klaus held them with such reverence, she couldn't look away. "I didn't believe you left." She whispered, in a defeated tone.

Klaus pulled his head back, as his eyes stayed locked on hers. "Why, Caroline?" He asked, in a low tone.

She bit her lip. How could she tell him what she felt and thought? She finally broke eye contact and looked down once more, and heard Klaus sigh in frustration. "Because I thought you wouldn't leave me." She finally whispered, pulling away from him, and in a flash stood up and walked to the window, leaving Klaus on the floor, but only for a moment.

Klaus watched as she folded her arms over her chest, and stared out of his window. He walked over to her, and observed how she lowered her head, causing her blonde hair to cascade in front of her face.

"Caroline." He whispered, trying to make it a statement, but it turned into a question.

Caroline stood still as she felt him come closer. She was on the brink. She had pushed him away for the final time, for here he was telling her goodbye.

"What happened to the 'maybe in a day, ten years, or even a century' crap?" She asked, trying to muster up the strength she needed for his goodbye.

Klaus smirked at her tone, but it wasn't menacing, it was soft. "I still believe that, Caroline." He answered, moving his arms outward, only to drop them by his side once more.

Caroline slowly turned around, and he saw the pain still in her eyes. "And yet you left me." She said in a broken tone.

Klaus narrowed his eyes. "What did you expect, Caroline? That I would stay here like a whipped dog following you around, eating my heart out?" He asked, in a dangerous tone.

Caroline swallowed and her eyes widened only a fraction. "I don't expect anything from you, Klaus." She stated, her voice getting stronger. "It's just…" She began as she faded off.

"Just what?" He asked in a demanding tone, stepping closer.

"It's just I always thought of you being here when I need you." She stated in a loud tone, moving her arms out in front of her, and her eyes wary of him.

"You've never needed me, Caroline." He whispered, though he couldn't deny the pounding in his chest from her words.

Caroline lifted her gaze to his and she scoffed. "You're right. I never needed to feel special. To feel like I was worth fighting for. To feel like someone actually gave a damn about me." She stated, as the tears filled her eyes once more. "You're right. I never needed you, so I just pushed you to the point where you left because I couldn't…" She sobbed out, the tears breaking through the barriers.

"I couldn't see that you mean more to me than anything in this world." She cried out, moving her hands to her chest, feeling her heart break into a million pieces. "You were so patient with me, and yet I kept hurting you." She said, through her tears, never once seeing how Klaus' eyes were filling with tears. "It was only a matter of time before I was alone, so go ahead and leave me, Klaus. Leave because I don't deserve one ounce of your…" She began, but was cut off as he pulled her into his arms, and crushed his lips to hers.

Caroline melted against his body, and slowly wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.

Slowly Klaus pulled back from her lips, and smiled through his tears as she opened her eyes to look at him with so much emotion shining out of hers.

"You deserve so much, Caroline, and if it takes me forever, I'm going to show you, and never let you feel lonely anymore." He whispered, searching her eyes as he spoke his vow.

Caroline smiled for the first time since he returned, and slide her right hand to cup his face. "Well, I think you have forever, Klaus." She whispered, biting her bottom lip.

Klaus smiled and pulled her back to him.

She closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and propped her chin on his shoulder.

"And I would give anything, if I could hold you tonight." She sang softly with a smile, as tears of joy fell down her face.

Klaus smiled as his left hand ran through her blonde hair, and his right rested on her waist. "You just won't have tonight, Caroline." He whispered, pulling back slightly to look into her joyful eyes. "You have forever." He added, rubbing his left thumb over her chin.

Caroline smiled, and nodded.

It was then they finally felt at peace with themselves, and neither would ever have to feel lonely alone, ever again.

What did you think?

I should warn you a few of these one-shot will be angsty and dark, and I will let you know at the beginning, in case you wish not to read it.

Also, some of the songs, well most of them, are in the country genre, so if you wish not to listen to them, you don't have to. I'm just putting the title and artist up. It's your choice.

I hope you enjoyed this one. Again, if you have a specific song or couple you wish to see. Let me know!

Oh, please don't send in hateful comments. If you don't like a certain one-shot, that's okay, just don't be mean about it.

Until Next Time...
