Memory Lane
Hollaaa it's me ;) any was I re-edited the chapter into that Sam and Matt only kissed when I realized that Katherine wouldn't be able to threaten Caroline if Matt was with Sam.
When I woke up I was alone in the bed so that meant that Matt snuck out while I was sleeping, thank god it was already awkward enough.
I took a shower and got dressed and headed to the kitchen to make coffee, after I did I sat down and started to drink "Morning hon" my mom greeted walking in to the kitchen kissing my forehead and grabbing coffee "Morning" I answered sipping my coffee "So, I caught Matt sneaking in this morning…" she trailed sitting in front of me with an unknown expression making me choke "Oh, yeah am you know he slept over" I answered nervously making her narrow her eyes at me "Mhm are you sure about that?" shit this isn't happening, suddenly my cell rang literally saving me and the screen showed it was Elena I quickly shot out from the chair "It's Elena" I ran to the living room "Lena what up?" I answered "Hey, I'm on my way to the grill want to join me? I'm taking the book with me" she replied "Yeah sure I'll meet you there" I answered and hanged up. I quickly grabbed my purse "I'm meeting Elena at the grill" and bolted out of there before my mom could answer.
When I got there I saw Elena sitting alone and plopped in the chair next to her
"You literally saved me when you called" I sighed and putted my head on my hands "Why? What happened?" she answered interested putting down the book and looked at me "Promise me first that you won't tell Caroline ok?" I begged removing my hand from my face "Promise" she answered and I sighed "I kissed Matt last night" I avoided looking at her face when I answered but she didn't answer so I looked at her and her face looked completely shocked "How did it happen?" she finally asked "I don't know I mean one minute were laughing and the next kissing" I grunted in frustration "I don't know what to do now" I said sadly "You're gonna have to talk to him eventfully" she advised putting a hand on my hand "Let's change the subject, is there anything interesting in the book?". She flipped a few pages "Not really".
Suddenly I heat a whoosh and Damon appeared in the chair making us gasp.
"What do you want?" Elena asked him "So, this is where you two spend your time when you're not stabbing people in the back" he answered "I tricked you into telling me the truth. That's not stabbing you in the back. That's using your own tactic against you" she started to gather her things so I did the same. "Where are you going?" Damon asked when he saw us doing it "I think we made ourselves clear Damon. We want nothing to do with you" we started to leave "Okay. See you at Jenna's barbecue" he shrugged making us freeze and turn to look at him "How do you know about Jenna's barbecue?" I asked him "It was my idea, Jenna went to high school with Mason Lockwood. So I figured some social gathering would be a good way to get to know the guy. So I told Rick to tell Jenna and" but Elena cut him off "Does Jenna know you're going to be there? Because she's not exactly a fan of yours" Elena drawled at him when a waitress walked over and putted a box on the table for Damon "Perfect. Thank you" he thanked her grabbing the box and got up "I'm hoping this peach cobbler will pave the way" he smirked "What are you up to?" I asked looking at him with suspicion and he stopped closely next to me making uncomfortable "I'm gonna put some silver into Mason Lockwood and prove he's a werewolf, See you two at Jenna's barbecue" he walked away after smirking.
Elena and I were spilling chips into bowls "Thanks for letting me invite Caroline, She could use a day of distraction" Elena told Jenna "She isn't the plus one I'm worried about" she walked back over to us and leaned on the counter "Why is Damon coming?" she asked clearly not wanting him here not that I blame her
"Because Alaric is a pity taker" I answered eating chip "Come on, You two, be nice" Elena said making me roll my eyes "I'll be nice when he learns to keep his paws off of you Elena" Jenna said making me smile at her "Look's like were on the same page, high five" she high fived me making Elena roll her eyes at our behavior.
"Good news, Found the shot glasses" Mason strolled in holding shot glassed making Jenna chuckle "That would be my exit" I said walking away "Mine too" Elena followed.
We were sitting on the porch while Caroline was bringing chips from the kitchen "Hey just checking in, did you get my massage about Jenna's barbeque" she called Stefan but I guess it went to voice mail, Caroline got back "Call me when you can" she hanged up and Caroline walked over "Is that Stefan?" she asked sitting down in the chair next to me "He hasn't called me back, I'm trying to decide if I should be worried" she answered "I'm sure he's fine" Caroline shrugged eating.
"God I can't stop eating, Stefan said it's a good way to sublimate the cravings. You know, it's horrible, just fighting the urge for blood every minute of the day" Caroline vented "I know hat Stefan really hates that part of himself" Elena said looking at her "Well, yeah. I mean, he hates that you're a constant temptation" Caroline said uncaringly making me frown at her "He really said that? I mean this is Stefan".
"The urge to rip out your jugular every time he's with you? Trust me, it's there" she continued ignoring what I said "It's why I had to break up with Matt" she finished and I leaned back in my chair guilty about what happened last night and I saw Elena glance at me when she said that "Any way, how are you and Tyler?" she asked looking at me making me feel even more guilty "Were still broken up" I answered not wanting to talk about him I mean I just made out with his best friend and realized that I completely forgotten about him "Why? You're romance was epic!" she stated making me shake my head "Well he ignored after the accident what was I supposed to do" I said grabbing a chip from her plate
"Hey, the foods ready" Rick walked outside "Come get it".
"Finally, I'm starving" Caroline jumped and walked inside while Elena stayed behind waiting for "Are you gonna tell her?" Elena asked "I can't you saw that she still cares about him" I answered sighing "Come on lets it" she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen.
After we were done eating we started playing charades Damon was drawing.
"Dress. Ballerina" Jenna yelled from her spot "Puppy" Caroline screamed
"Puppy with a tutu" I yelled joining them "No" he returned to his painting "Dog. Hound. Hound dog You Ain't Nothin but a Hound Dog" Jenna yelled laughing "Dances with wolves" Mason said making us turn to look at him.
"Mason wins again" Damon said "How is that a wolf?" Jenna accused
"This game was totally rigged!" I accused "Totally" Jenna agreed making us laugh.
After I went to the bathroom I started to walk back to the living room when my cell rang 'Matt' appeared on screen and I sighed guilty and pressed ignore. When I lifted my head I saw standing in front of me with a knowing look "What?" I asked "I know that look" she stated "What look?" crap "The I'm ignoring you" she answered "How did you…" I trailed off "because I have done it many times, now spill who is it?" she asked and I look around making sure that Caroline was no where in sight and hearing range "Just don't yell when I tell you ok?" I told her quietly and she nodded her head "It's Matt…" I answered quietly making her drop her mouth gaping at me "Damn you're fast" she answered finally making me laugh a little even with all the guilt and I was grateful for her about it. "How did it happen?" she whispered "I don't even know it just happened and I don't know how to face him now I mean he just broke up with Caroline" I said "The sooner the better" Jenna told me "Now come on, let's eat desert" she went to drag me "I'll pass I'll go look for Elena" I told her "Oh their at the living room" she told me before walking away.
"Would I be the worst friend in the world if I abandoned you and went to Stefan's?" Elena said looking at us "I'm heading home anyway but let me know if he's ok?" I asked walking over to her "Sure" she nodded and I hugged her goodbye.
Thankfully my mom wasn't home so I dropped on the couch and started to watch TV.
It was already evening and I was waiting for Elena to call and finally she did.
"So let me get this straight you think Katherine is using Caroline?" I asked her confused "Yes, I know Caroline for a long time and it was obvious that something was up to today" Elena answered "Thinking about I think you're right she was acting strange today" I replayed "Exactly, that why Stefan and I will pretend that were breaking up at the grill and see if it's true" she answered "Alright, update me later" I told before hanging up. Someone knocked on the door so I went to open.
"Matt…." damn it I shouldn't have opened it "I can't stop thinking about what happened" he said looking at me and I dropped my gaze from his face "Look we can forget it happened" I said lifting my head to look at him "Caroline is my friend and I can't do this to her but he shook his head not agreeing with me "What about what you want?" he asked holding my face "I don't know ok? I don't know" I answered "I know how I feel about you Sam" he argued "Matty…" but he cut me off by kissing me
And before I realized what was happening he left, leaving me standing on the porch with a hand on my lips with a tingly sensation.
