Caroline finally stopped crying after nearly twenty minutes, when she turned she was shocked to see Stefan still standing there.
"You're still here." She said, crossing her arms and letting her anger take over.
"Care…" He said as he took a few steps toward her.
She glared at him, "Don't 'Care' me! Stop pretending like you're innocent in this!"
"I know I'm not innocent, Caroline!" Stefan shouted back.
"Do you not realize what you're doing?! What you just made me become?! To Filiz…I'll be the way Tyler was to you and Damon! I…I fucking became Katherine! Without even knowing it, I became Katherine! Do you not see that?!" She shouted at him.
"I know! I know and I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Caroline! But see it from my side! All these years, I thought you were gone! I thought that I would never get the chance to tell you how I really feel! So seeing you right now, tonight, I just did what I've been wanting to do for the past eight years!"
"Eight years?! Eight fucking years?! You've been with Filiz for the past eight years! Why the hell would you be with her if you love someone else?!"
"Because! I knew the moment I introduced you and Nik that I had lost any chance of being with you! I knew! And then…you two ran away together and you got pregnant! So I had to stay with Filiz! I had no other option I was willing to live with!"
With his words, she stared at him for a good ten seconds before she went up to him and slapped him, "You sorry son of a bitch!"
"What the hell is going on?" Damon asked as he walked up the porch, having only heard Caroline's part.
"Ask Saint Stefan." Caroline said dryly before walking away from the house.
"What the hell did you do?" Damon asked him.
"Caroline, just wait. I'm sorry!"
She turned around and glared at him, "Here, I always thought that it was Katherine that ruined our family. But nope. She was nothing compared to you Stefan. You have no idea how much I hate you right now." She said, getting teary eyed near the end before walking away.
Stefan looked down, tears in his eyes as well, "I deserved that…"
"What the hell did you do?" Damon asked again, getting impatient.
"I kissed her." Stefan said before walking off the porch.
"You what?!" Damon asked incredulously. "You're shitting me right?"
"Hey you guys! What the hell is all this shouting?" Elena came out of the house, glaring at them.
"I love her Damon! I've loved her for years! I thought she was dead and I wanted to die too. So seeing her walk around, alive and well is a dream come true! So I kissed her! I ruined everything by kissing her!" Stefan shouted, getting angrier by the second.
Damon shook his head, "Fix this. Now. If I'm right, you screwed it up with Nik, so fix it Stefan." He said before walking into the house with a shell shocked Elena.
Nik found himself at the local park, sitting on a bench, crying his eyes out. This was worse than when he thought he lost her, this time he lost her to someone else and that hurt him so much more.
He stopped his crying when he heard a bunch of men laughing, he looked up and saw Caroline walking near the edge of the trees.
He also saw men following her, they seemed to be laughing about something.
"Look at that! Caroline Fell crying over another guy. Big shocker for the town slut." One of them said and Caroline looked down.
He could tell she was crying and he wanted to go to her, but before he could she turned around and yelled at them.
"Leave me alone! For the past eight years, my heart has only belonged to one man, so screw you! I'm not a slut for having a son out of wedlock! So stop calling me that!"
The guys slowly walked away, one at a time and left her alone.
Caroline turned back around and took a deep breath, she began to scratch at her forearms and he could see that she was crying.
He slowly went to her and tried to stay unnoticed.
"Why didn't you let me die that night?" She cried, looking up into the sky, "I would've happily died that night if that meant they were happy. Because with me, they're all miserable…They don't need me…They don't want me…So please…tonight just let me die like I was supposed to seven years ago." She told no one in particular, staring up at the sky.
He felt his heart break at her words, she wanted to die?
Stefan slowly walked into the hotel, not really paying attention to anything. He sighed when he saw Filiz sitting on the bed, waiting for him.
"Back so soon…I would've expected Caroline to keep you all night." She said with malice.
"Filiz…I'm sorry…"
"Sorry for what? For loving her? Or for getting caught?" She said, crossing her arms.
"For hurting you…I never wanted to hurt you." He said with a sigh.
"Now that's just bullshit. I've been here with you…for you for the past eight years and I'm…just second to you. You've always loved her, but you didn't have the balls to tell me." She said, shaking her head.
"How can I tell you? I thought she was dead."
"Right. She was dead, but now she isn't so that's why you cheated…Makes total sense."
"I'm sorry…"
"Me too…Because I can't do this…I can't compete with her. We're done Stefan. It's over…I'm sorry but this is over." She said before getting up and walking out of the hotel room.
Stefan sighed, realizing now that the three important people in his life despised him…Ouch.
Elena looked over at Damon, "This is crazy…One thing after another…"
"Yeah…I can't believe he…he loves her…It doesn't make sense…"
"When does love ever make sense?" Elena asked.
He looked over at her, "We're not gonna end up like them are we? Happy with a kid, and then let some idiot pull us apart?"
She shook her head, "Nope. Because I doubt you'd go back to Katherine…and I don't have that many exes to run back to."
"Thank God for that." He said with a small smile before kissing her.
Caroline sat on the cold ground and pulled something out of her pocket. Something Nik couldn't make out.
She started crying again, "I'm sorry, William…" She said to no one, "I can't do this anymore…"
His heart froze when he realized what she was doing…
She put something against her wrist and he darted toward her, "Stop it!" He shouted at her, making her freeze.
"What do you care? You're only sticking around for our son. That's it. I don't need to be here…You don't want me here."
"I never said that I didn't want you." He said to her as he kneeled in front of her, reaching for the pocket knife she was holding.
"You don't want me…You didn't listen to me…I didn't kiss him…He kissed me and I pushed him away…I don't love him that way…You need to believe me." She whispered, crying and begging him with her eyes.
He nodded, realizing that she wasn't lying, "I believe you."
She sighed and nodded a little, "Good…Good thing you stopped me…I think I would've done it this time…"
"This time?"
"I've tried before…Damon saved me…Apparently I wasn't breathing and he saved me with his awesome CPR skills…I've always wanted to die…Without you there's no point…" She whispered, not meeting his eyes.
He lifted her face gently, making her look him in the eyes, "I'm sorry…For not believing you…For hurting you…For leaving you. I'm so sorry…"
She sighed and dropped the knife to the ground, she wrapped her arms around him, "I'm sorry too…I'm so sorry…I would never hurt you that way…I'm sorry you saw it, it was all Stefan. It wasn't me…"
"I know. I'm sorry. I should've believed you…I should've listened to you. I'm sorry." He said to her before kissing her.
She kissed him back, happy that he believed her…She thought she had really lost him this time…
