Home Sweet Home;

Chapter Ten; Make Up

Disclaimer; I own nothing but the plot and my own characters and my own writing obviously.

"Uhmm…" Caroline stared at the pair in shock, unsure what else to say.

"I'm gunna' go…" Damon smirked at Elena then winking at her, he shot out of the room at vampire speed before Elena could say anything.

"Damon!" It was already to late, she knew that. She looked up at Caroline and smiled sheepishly.

"What was that!" Caroline yelled, confused.

"What?"

"Don't do that Elena.. You know what I mean. Why were you kissing that asshole?"

"He's not an asshole Caroline!" Elena sighed, finally deciding it was time her friend knew the truth, but before she could say anything, Caroline blurted out an apology.

"Lena, I'm so sorry about the dress thing, I didn't mean it… I just didn't think! I'm so sorry!"

"That's okay, I guess I did over react a little." Elena shrugged.

"If it's worth anything, I really like the dress you're wearing now!" Caroline grinned at her, her pearly whites shining. Elena smiled back at her.

"Thanks, I love yours too. You look really pretty tonight Car." Caroline's smile grew larger as she stepped towards Elena. She pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry." Caroline mumbled. "I was a bitch…" This made both Elena and Caroline start to giggle as the sat down on the couch."So.. Come on, what's up with you and Salvatore?"

"Car… there's something I need to tell you…" Elena sighed.

"What?"

"The reason I left… you know how I told you, Matt, Jer and practically everyone else I was leaving because of the job I got?"

"Yeah…"

"That wasn't the real reason…"

"Why'd you lie?"

"Because… it was too painful to admit the truth.. The only person who really knew was Bonnie.. But that was only because she did her witchy magic on me to get me to admit the truth."

"What was too painful? Lena, you're not making any sense."

"I'm in love with Damon, Car. And I left because I was scared of admitting it to myself….and to him."

"That is so stupid."

"I know that now… I really shouldn't have left."

"Not that! You were afraid to admit it to him? Did you not realize he was just as in love with you as you seem to be with him?"

"Was' being the perfect word.. I rejected him enough while I was with Stefan… I guess I thought he'd hate me and he'd fallen out of love with me… Especially after the whole Rose thing."

"Elena, he's still in love with you."

"You think?"

"Why else would he have just made out with you?"

"Car, this is Damon we are talking about." Caroline suddenly thought and then nodded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right.. But come on Elena… you have to realize he does! Everyone knows It! Why do you think Stefan was so jealous all of the time!"

"I thought that was just because Stefan was naturally jealous! Remember that time when me, you, Tyler and Stefan went to the grill that night?" Caroline nodded. " He was jealous of Tyler because he gave me a hug! I mean come on.. I don't like Tyler!" Caroline's eyes widened at the mention of 'like' and 'Tyler' in the same sentence. She groaned making Elena look at her funny, "What?"

"You might not like Tyler… but I do." Elena's eyes shot up to meet Caroline's.

"You and Tyler?" Elena smiled inside. Caroline nodded warily. "But what about Matt? And Bonnie?"

"I'm just not that into Matt as much as I was and Tyler told me he feels the same about Bonnie."

"So, are you guys together then?"

"No… but we kissed." Elena's eyes widened.

"What? When! Details!" Caroline giggled at Elena's outburst.

"It was literally only a few minutes before I walked in on you and Damon." Elena blushed at this. Elena shook her head and grinned.

"So what happened after you kissed?

"He was scared with would be awkward and complicated and I told him they weren't but.. I lied. Things will get complicated Elena, because I really like him and I don't know what to do!"

"Car calm down, do you want him to hear you?" Elena joked and Caroline gasped, which made Elena giggle and shake her head. Caroline rolled her hands down her dress, smoothing it out.

"What do you think I should?"

"I don't know… I'm feeling the same with Damon." Elena sighed and she saw Caroline do the same. "What?"

"Ironically, he said the same."

"What? About Damon?" Elena teased making Caroline laugh.

"No! about Bonnie!" The two women cracked up in laughter for a short amount of time before Caroline stopped, her face becoming suddenly deadly serious. "So, what made you really leave?"

"What? I just told you… I left because I loved Damon."

"Come on Elena, you know me better than to think I'm stupid! I'm you best friend! Tell me what happened?" Elena sighed, rolling her eyes, knowing Caroline was right. Elena knew she could talk to Caroline or Bonnie about anything… they were her best friends, and since Bonnie already knew.. It was time Caroline found out too.

"Okay…. We slept together." Elena admitted and stared into Caroline's wide eyes. It was clear her best friend was in shock.
