Imagine being Caroline's little sister and everyone always treating you like you're a baby

  It wasn't easy being the youngest Forbes in a town full of vampires, werewolves and so much more, especially with your big sister being a control freak who never stopped worrying over you.

  In your own opinion, you had grown just enough to take care of yourself, you didn't need a babysitter anymore, although in Mystic Falls you were constantly in danger and you seriously appreciated it when one of your friends saved your life, or whatever, but you weren't a baby. But did anyone listen, care or understand?

  No.

  As the youngest Forbes, the little sister of Caroline - only with a few years, though - you were stamped as the baby of the group who always needed protection. You were younger than any of the friends you shared, and you could see why you were the little one, the little Forbes to little Gilbert. Together, you and Jeremy could pout about it, but you were younger than him too and you hated it. You had to admit, you probably would have died a long time ago if your friends didn't save the day once in a while, but they took things unbelievably far as if to annoy you on purpose.

  You had asked if any of your supernatural friends would make you a vampire or something useful, but none of them bothered to help a girl out. Mostly, because Caroline had made it very clear that she wanted you to have a human life and get out of Mystic Falls eventually, but so far none of that had happened, though what did, was more risky, dangerous situations from where you had to be scooped to safety.

  You hated being the baby, though it did have its perks, but mostly it sucked to know that no one would ever take you seriously.

  "Do you need help with that?", Matt would offer whenever he saw you carrying something, or just taking the trash out. A situation in which you'd tell him to shut his mouth or else he'd find himself in a body bag which you would very well manage to carry out yourself. Your friends tried to help you in the most intense of situations, and sometimes the attention and the affection felt good, and flattering, but there was a limit to everything and a point at which you'd eventually explode out of pure frustration towards everyone's attitude when they were with you.

  "Are you sure you're not scared to go alone?", Bonnie would ask whenever you were on your way outside, ready to leave Mystic Grill after hanging out with her, your sister and Elena. And you'd just roll your eyes and walk out confidently - although admittedly on the way home you'd become somewhat scared and consider taking Bonnie's hand the next time.

  Whenever you hurt yourself, only cut your finger or something, the vampires of the town came running to you with open wrists, pouring out their blood for you. Even Damon, who at least pretended to be a careless little shit, worried over you and protected you with his entire existence, ready to fight for your happiness and safety until his last breath. Again, you did feel flattered sometimes, but then there were the occasions when you'd try to flirt with a guy only for Alaric to swoop in and take you away with a smile on his lips, thinking he was doing what was best for you.

  And eventually, you got so sick of it, that you decided to do something absolutely irresponsible yet so intriguing, you just had to allow the alluring danger pull you into its fascinating world. When Klaus Mikaelson made his way to town, seeking for kingship, everyone knew the residents were screwed to say the least - everyone was prepared for the worst but no one expected the precious angel to run off with the evil hybrid. Caroline seemed to grow fond of him too, despite denying it every time she was asked about it, but you were one to admit your own feelings that you carried towards Klaus.

  It wasn't anything too serious, you weren't in love, or at least that wasn't what you went for. But he was handsome, and charming, and when he was the one to offer you a drink, you took advantage of the situation and made a deal with the devil himself. He promised to show you the excitement his life was full of, along with the dangers, just to shake your friends up a bit and you promised to stay out of his way when he'd try to rule Mystic Falls. You knew you'd see some awesome stuff, and he wouldn't treat you like a child so you were happy when you went home that night, with the deal in mind, and the fact that no one else knew, just you and Klaus.

  It was quite fun, spending time with Klaus. You quickly grew close, but he didn't look after you, because you had asked for him to treat you differently, which he did. You enjoyed every moment you spent with Klaus, until your friends and family heard about all the fun you had been having in his company. You knew you'd get lots of complaints once you'd get to the Salvatore house, which was exactly why you avoided the place for hours, but then you understood that eventually, you'd have to face them all so you figured, hiding wasn't smart.

  Saying that you were nervous, would be an understatement. You had never before stood up to Caroline, or anyone, so stubbornly. You had never been so independent and brave, although you wanted to, but so far you had been treated like a freaking baby and it was time that changed. Yet, you were like a child who disobeyed her parents and was about to go home and face the consequences of being dumb.

  You opened the door with your shaky hand, and entered the house with a couple of slow steps, causing every head to turn as they saw you walk in. Your eyes were staring at your shoes, and you felt awkward when you approached the group of friends in the living room, not sure what to say or do, but with all the different personalities confined into one small room, you knew one of them would eventually burst out and start the rant of how you were irresponsible and stupid.

  And you weren't wrong. It was quiet for a while, and many disappointed sighs were shared amongst the friends, but eventually, as you had suspected, one of them spoke. Damon, which wasn't much of a surprise, took a step towards you but before he could approach you entirely, Stefan placed a hand on his brother's chest to keep the distance between you and them alive. Damon gave a glare to Stefan, who shook his head, attempting to keep Damon on the spot and finally he did remain steady, and you found the courage to look up while chewing on your lower lip.

  "Well, I think we all know what's the deal here. You've been with Klaus Mikaelson", Damon was the first one to speak, his voice dripping with venom when he mentioned your new BFF. You sighed, everyone seemed to hate Klaus, and maybe for a good reason but he had been good to you and treated you like you wished others to, as well. Damon was tempted to add a sarcastic statement about how the Forbes girls seemed to have a thing for the hybrid, but instead of doing so, he shut his mouth and Stefan continued where his brother left off.

  "Look, hanging out with Klaus, isn't exactly the best thing to do. I know for a fact, that he's dangerous and you'll just end up...", Stefan shrugged, but you managed to finish for him.

  "Dead?", you spat, earning disapproving looks from all over the room. "You know, I'll probably end up dead anyway in this town. And no one will make me a vampire, so why don't you let me live my golden years while I can, huh? You can't lock me away or stop me from living my life. I like the danger, and yes, I admit that it's stupid and reckless but that's how I want to go if I have to, and I like Klaus so you can all go fuck yourselves", you smiled and tilted your head to the side, surprising your friends with the language but you were after all Caroline's little sister, so everyone knew you had the sassy side in you.

  "Y/N!", Caroline gasped disapprovingly, but she didn't have time to say more when you shook your head and took the turn to speak again.

  "I may be the youngest of us all, but I'm not a baby, okay? I grew up. I know how to take care of myself. And when I don't, I do appreciate it when you guys save my life, but you need to stop acting like I'm the only one who needs it. You guys have your own issues too, so stop being so worried about me! I get it, you care about me, and thank you, because I care about you too, but I don't need everyone to be with me all the time", you explained angrily, and crossed your arms while looking at your friends. Everyone looked at each other, slowly trying to accept the fact that you had grown up, and when the silence had lasted for a while, Caroline walked over to you with open arms.

  Your sister wrapped her arms around you, closing you in a tight embrace and she let out a heavy sigh while nodding. "You're right, Y/N. I'm sorry for suffocating you like that. But, I guess, since we're all already lost causes, and we don't have a future, we want you to have one for us. You can have children and move away, but we're tied into this town and this life and we can't escape it. But you can", Caroline sighed and kissed your cheek. "But you're right, we can't decide everything for you. And I promise, we'll stop treating you like a baby... But you're still my baby sister", she smiled and looked at you while letting go only to pinch your cheeks. You rolled your eyes, but broke into a smile and nodded while hugging her again.

  "Yeah, I'm sorry, I guess", you heard many of those in the room, and they made you smile - you were really happy to understand that maybe now, you could kick some ass too and be included in the dangerous stuff.

  Though, they really never stopped treating you like a precious little angel, especially not Caroline. You weren't treated as a baby anymore, and your friends saw you differently after you started to act more badass, and after seeing you with Klaus, but you were still the little Y/N who needed hugs and kisses once in a while.

  And they met you halfway, so maybe this was what you had to do in return - accept the fact that you'd always be little Forbes.
