Chapter 25 Insight

When we were done eating, we were kinda stumped on what to do.

"We could go watch some tv." Caroline told me getting the conversation ball rolling.

I scrunched up my nose, and she agreed. "I'm not use to having nothing to do. Normally there's a problem." I told her as we started back to my house.

"I know."

"Caroline," I started and sat on a park bench. "What was your first thought when you turned? Did you remember everything?" I asked her.

"Well, I thought of blood. And the way everything looked. So much brighter, and so different through my eyes." She said reminiscing. "And I remembered everything. I remembered what Damon had done to me. And I wanted revenge." She said shrugging. "I haven't told anyone this, because I was so ashamed, but when I was in the hospital, I attacked the nurse there. I took away her memories, and told her to tell some stupid story, but I felt horrible." I grabbed Caroline in a hug and when I let her go I saw a tear streak down her face. We were only a few blocks from my house, so I grabbed her hand and we walked there. When we got inside, we headed straight for my room, after saying a quick hi to Jenna.

"Caroline, why didn't you say something. Stefan could have helped you." I said to her

"I felt disgusting, and then I killed that guy. Elena, you told Bonnie that you didn't want to hurt anybody, but I need you to promise me that you won't. Not for their sake, but for yours."

I looked into Caroline's eyes and saw just how bad she felt from hurting those people.

"I promise." I said and completely meant it.

"Caroline, are we on the level of keeping each others secrets no matter what?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"Of course. I don't want anyone to know that I attacked that lady." She said

"Good." I said and told her the long version of the story. I told her about Stevon, and I even told her of Katherine's second meeting with him. "Now, this is the part no one knows. I remember everything." I told her "Every life, every death. And I remember loving Stevon with everything in me. And I remember him loving me. And I remember hating myself so much that I killed myself." I told her, relieved beyond belief to get that out.

"And you didn't tell Katherine about it?" She asked looking at me in shock

"I didn't want her to know that I felt all the pain of dying." I said calmly. "I just, I don't know if becoming a vampire was the right choice." I admitted to her

"Of course it was." She told me "Now, you and Damon can be together forever." She said as if it was obvious.

"What?" I asked her sharply

"Well, I mean, come on. It's so obvious. The way you to look at each other." She told me

When she saw that I still had a blank look on my face, she continued.

"Elena, he almost killed Bonnie when he saw what she was doing to you, knowing full well that she could do it to him to." She said "You know how he feels about you, you just need to accept it. He loves you, and you love him. You two deserve the happiness you could give each other." She said, and I never thought Caroline to be so insightful.

I gave her a small smile. "Thank you, Caroline. And remember, don't tell anyone." I warned

"My lips are sealed." She said and made the childish gesture of locking her lips and throwing away the key. "We could just go for a run." Caroline suggested, knowing full well how much I liked that. I smiled and told her she could borrow one of my jogging suits.

She chose a black one with pink seams and I took a black one with red seams. We tied our hair back and put a band on to keep strays from falling into our face. She borrowed some of my sneakers and we headed out.
