Caroline was showing the new moves to the cheerleaders, when she saw Tyler heading her way from the corner of her eye. “Okay, practice is over. Nelly, you’re going to have to practice that spin” she said, before quickly walking away.
“Caroline!” Tyler shouted. He knew she was walking away because of him. “Caroline!” he shouted a bit harder, but Caroline just continued ignoring him. “I didn’t see you last night at Homecoming”
Caroline stopped, but didn’t bother turning around. “That’s because your eyes were glued onto Virginia” she said snarky.
“Veronica” Tyler corrected her.
“Whatever” Caroline commented careless.
“What do you want from me, Caroline?” Tyler asked desperate. “I’m seeing Ronnie now, I’m sorry if that hurts you. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends, does it?”
“Can I ask you something? And do you promise me to tell me the truth?” Caroline said kind of bossy.
“Yeah, sure” Tyler promised.
“How come you didn’t turn last night?” Caroline asked. “It was a full moon, why didn’t you turn?”
Tyler stared at her, not knowing how to explain himself. In fact it was really simple. He just couldn’t tell her.
“Caroline, I really want to tell you exactly what happened,” Tyler started, putting accent to all his words. “but…I can’t. It’s…complicated”
Caroline nodded and turned away. “I can’t believe Klaus was right about you” she muttered between her teeth.
“Wait, Klaus?” Tyler exclaimed. “You’ve been talking to him?”
“Yeah” Caroline confessed. “It’s not like I had a choice. He just took me with him. You were a little too occupied to notice”
“You have to stay away from him” Tyler warned her. “He’s dangerous”
“Gee, you think?” Caroline asked sarcastically. “Look, why don’t you go back to Veronica and stop telling me who I should and shouldn’t hang out with” She pushed Tyler aside and walked away, leaving Tyler stunned.

Cas stroked his hair and tried to keep his breathing under control. Meg didn’t understand. He needed more. He had lied about the pain being back, but he hadn’t lied about needing another dose. He opened the upper buttons of his shirt, suddenly feeling feverish.
He hurried to the dresser and opened all drawers and cupboard doors. He searched through them, checking all boxes, finding nothing. He slammed everything shut and began to rub his fingers again.
“If I were a medicine cabinet, where would I be?” Cas mumbled trembling and out of breath. He ran to the stairs and sprinted upstairs. He went to the bathroom and opened the mirror cupboard.
“Got it” he said, sighing relieved and he grabbed all boxes that had medicines in it. He took out all the strips and swallowed the pills one by one.
He leaned against the cold, marble wall and sank down on the floor. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
