Carrie was at the party, having a drink looking at Leo talking and smiling to a girl. She took another shot.
"Everything okay?" a long blond haired woman sat next to her.
"I'm okay. It's just... this guy... this party... it's disappointing."
"Life is one big pile of disappointment." the girl said
"That is supposed to make me feel better? You are not gonna give me a pep talk, say thing are about to get better?"
"Sorry sweetie but they won't. It never gets better. By the way, I'm Charlotte Gilbert. I don't do pep talks."
"I'm..."
"Caroline. They call you Carrie."
"How did you now that?"
"Oh, I know everything. For example, I know you are about to go to Leonardo and try to talk to him. And he will say he has a girlfriend and you are going to be humiliated."
"How... how do you know that?"
"How much time do you have?"
A meaningful conversation and lots of alcohol after...
"Damon Salvatore. The vampire. His name was Damon Salvatore."
"I didn't ask."
"I thought you wanted to know."
"I did... What was he like?"
"Dangerous... impulsive. Smart... kind of a dick. But after Jacob, he was a refreshment.I didn't believe he was secretly a good person. I just gave in."
"Oh, does he have a brother?" Carrie said sarcastically
"Actually he does. A younger one, his name is Stefan."
"He gave you his blood?"
"Damon or Stefan? In both cases the answer is yes. Vampire blood has more abilities than just turn you into a vampire. It can heal wounds. It's useful to keep around."
"But you do want to make vampires?"
"If necessary. Or if I'm bored."
"Carrie!"
She heard Julie's voice
"Where were you? Runo and I were worried sick about you!"
"I'm sorry." Carrie said
"Have you been drinking?" Runo asked
"What... now?" Carrie said, almost falling down of the chair.
"We'll call the taxi and we're going home. Now!" Runo ordered
Charlotte quickly handed her a piece of paper with numbers written down on it.
