Caroline walked out of the grocery shop and closed the door. She turned around and bumped into Tyler.
“Sorry” she mumbled and wanted to walk away, but Tyler called her.
“Caroline, wait up” he said.
Caroline held her steps, but didn’t turn around. Tyler walked to her.
“Hey, I’m…I’m sorry for last time” he started uneasy. “I was a little uptight”
Caroline raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t act uptight, Tyler. You acted like a jerk”
“I know, but I’m trying to explain myself here” Tyler continued.
Caroline shuffled with her left foot over the paving. She then looked up. “I asked you, I gave you a chance to tell me, but you just blew me off” she said annoyed. “Why would I listen to you now?”
“It’s complicated, Caroline” Tyler said.
“Really? Because it all looked very clear to me” Caroline said sarcastic. “Look, I really have to go. Elena needs me right now”
Tyler sighed deeply. “What’s wrong with her?” he almost added ‘now’ to it and Caroline didn’t miss that.
“She’s sick, Tyler. She has blood cancer” Caroline snapped. “So while you’re being busy being complicated I’m trying to find a way to help her”
She pushed him aside and walked away.

She pushed him aside and walked away.
She bent on her knees and her hands glided over the earth. She didn’t know what she was going to find, but a strong feeling inside of her told her there was something underneath the earth. Something she needed to find.
And so she started digging with her hands. Soon her hands were wounded and dirty, but she just kept digging.
She carried on for what seemed like hours, her hands bleeding, until her fingers touched something solid. She dug faster and more fiercely, until she saw the object. When she saw Damon’s body she couldn’t breathe anymore. She covered her mouth and tears rolled over her face. She was too late.
She pulled him out of the pit and held him in her arms.
