Mason called Elora to tell her about Matt, he new they were close growing up and she would want to come back to say goodbye. It was the day after Tyler's first transformation and he wasn't handling it well, the combination of grief, disbelief, pain, and fear and really shaken him... he didn't know who he was anymore.
Gilbert House:
Elena had been crying non stop since finding out, she couldn't believe Matt was gone. Jeremy is trying to comfort her,
Jeremy: "It's going to be okay."
Elena: "Matt is dead Jer! how is it going to be okay? He gone, Jenna's left, Lo's off with Mason somewhere, nothing is going to be okay!"
Jeremy: "Why would Katherine want to kill Matt?"
Elora comes in with John,
Elora: "To turn Tyler into a werewolf, and to punish Mason."
Jeremy: "Lo! your back," Jeremy gets up to hug her but Lo steps back, he sees John is with her,
"Hey, Uncle John."
John: "Jeremy, Elena."
Elena: "Wait why is John here?"
John: "Well you no longer have a guardian living here,"
Elena: "Jenna's coming back."
John: "Really? And when will that be?"
Elena looks down unable to answer.
John: "That's what I thought, I'm just gonna put my bags away... I hear we have a funeral to get ready for."
John goes upstairs and leaves the siblings alone together,
Elena: "Look, I'm happy your back, but John...really?"
Elora: "You want to keep running the show Elena? Because so far your tract record leaves a lot to be desired."
Jeremy: "We're all trying our best here Lo."
Elora: "Well now you have someone older with more experience with the supernatural to help take some of the pressure off, relax you too this is a good thing... unless you like getting your friends killed? No? Great I'm gonna grab a shower."
Elora leaves Jer and Elena alone and heads upstairs.
Jeremy: "What the hell happened to her?"
Elena: "We did, we kept her blind to all this and now she dosen't trust us."
Jeremy: "But she trusts John?"
Elena: "He's the only family she has left apart from me and you, who else was she meant to turn to? Let's just be happy she's home and not with Mason."
Jeremy nods agreeing. After changing Elena stops by Stefan's before heading over to the funeral.
Boarding House:
Elena walks into the library. Stefan is standing by the fireplace. He turns to face Elena. He is in tears.
Stefan: "I'm so sorry."
Elena runs to him and he wraps her up in a hug,
Elena: "We were stupid. Sneaking around, trying to outsmart her."
Stefan: "I know."
Elena: "We did this, Stefan. Matt is dead, and Jeremy could be next... I don't even recognize Lo anymore... All because we took Mason away from her, and now Tyler is a werewolf, every time we try to play her at her own game we just end up making it worse."
Stefan: "Wait Lo is-"
Elena: "She came home this morning."
Stefan: "Thats grea-"
Elena: "With John,"
Stefan: "Maybe not so great,"
Elena grabs his face in her hands. She has tears in her eyes...
Elena: "Matt was good and innocent, he didn't deserve this... neither does Tyler for that matter. I hate her and I want to stop her but... I'm scared."
Stefan holds her and lets her cry.
Mason POV:
Last night was rough, I'm still not used to transforming, it's only been a year and a couple months for me... although I could be doing this for 50 years I don't think I'll ever get used to it, but dealing with that plus Tyler, it was a lot.
Today Tyler just looks broken, defeated. I don't want that for my nephew, he shouldn't have to be going through any of this. I swear if it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna kill Katherine for this.
Mason: "We got to head back soon, get cleaned up... dressed."
Tyler: "What for, I'm not going to the funeral."
Mason: "You have to,"
Tyler: "No I don't I'm the one who killed him incase you forgot!"
Mason: "It wasn't your fault,"
Tyler: "Right a 500 year old vampire made me do it... I'm sure that will make everyone in town forget I'm the reason their golden boy had his head caved in."
Mason: "He was your best friend, do it for him... from what you told me his own Mom might not even show up, I'm sure he'd want you there."
Tyler: "What he'd want is to be alive. I'm not going, end of discussion."
The Church:
Caroline had put together a whole montage of Matt's life, childhood pictures, sad songs etc. Everyone was in tears. Elena couldn't take it anymore and ran out, Stefan went to follow but Damon stopped him,
Damon: "Let me go, trust me."
Damon followed her out side, he tried to comfort her with a hug but she pulled away not wanting to be touched.
She turns around and looks at him.
Damon: "Elena. I tortured Mason, I riled Katherine up... I - I wasn't thinking. I didn't think. What happened to Matt... it's my fault."
Elena: "It doesn't matter, Damon. She won. Katherine won. He's really gone."
Elora had followed Damon outside,
Elora: "So let's make the bitch pay."
Elena: "Lo, no. Every time we try to take her out-"
Elora: "You've never had me on your side before."
Damon: "And what are you gonna do princess?"
Elora: "Itching for another bullet to the skull, Devon?"
Damon: "It's Damon."
Elora: "Don't care, now do you want my help or not, either way I'm going after her."
Damon: "Please, you and what army?"
Elora: "Me, John, Mason, Tyler, and Jenna."
Damon: "Crack team you've assembled there."
Elena: "Lo, no. Jenna can't be involved, it's too dangerous."
Elora: "She's already involved Elena, and you keeping people in the dark isn't keeping anyone safe, just ask Matt."
Elena: "I can't believe you just said that to me, when did you turn into such a bitch."
Elora: "Right around the time my twin turned into such a fool. So what's it gonna be? Are you in or out?"
Elena: "In." Elena said begrudgingly.
